Tessa and Scott skate closer together, and with more unison, and I prefer that. They also have better edges. Charlie and Meryl are faster, and maybe more theatrical. Scott and Tessa take more chances artistically. They both skated flawlessly. The downgrade in the short program is suspicious, but even without that, Charlie and Meryl would have won because almost all the judges had them ahead on GOE and PCS.Sean McKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748905258714007583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526953060619314332.post-29019486844769726032014-02-20T04:37:33.468+04:002014-02-20T04:37:33.468+04:00I don't know Sean - it seems to me that the Ca...I don't know Sean - it seems to me that the Canadian judge gets his picture taken with Charley and Meryl and all of a sudden they skate as well as Scott and Tessa -- seems to me the Canadian judge is easily influenced!Andy Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988718607370935563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526953060619314332.post-49373242349716559752014-02-20T04:34:14.252+04:002014-02-20T04:34:14.252+04:00Johnny and Tara have started getting big publicity...Johnny and Tara have started getting big publicity in US Newspapers (I think I'm one of the few people alive who still reads newspapers via newsprint).
