Whee!
Mel, it was funny, when they got on the ice I was like, "Hm, I wonder if Mel is watching?" I was crossing my fingers through the twizzles! Maybe it helped. j/k

Why didn't the judges give them an SB on the FD? They were 2 or so points behind their SB, yet most others seemed to get an SB of 2 points better than their previous.

I am also a bit puzzled about the SBs - most couples got more points, well, nearly everyone in all cathegories got SB at this Champs so why not S&J's FD? Anyway, congratulations to the 7th place! All 3 programs were amazing and I am always so excited to watch them on the ice! Suzie, thanks for your comments, I do agree on many things. Lol - I too think that Oksana looks so non-Oksana! During the CD when they first appeared on the ice I was like, wait, who is this? But I think she looks more natural than with the blonde. I loved Tessa & Scott's FD! I must say their previous programs weren't my favorites, yet this one really grabbed me - great skate! And they both loked great in those black costumes. I love simple costumes and really think that in many cases they have even bigger effect than tons of sequins and glitter!

Okay, first. John & Sinead were fab !. Such control & lines. They should be so proud of this World Championships. Best Ever !. Next, Virtue & Moir were really good but I think if Delobel & Schoenfelder had of skated (they had the same free dance music) we would have seen the French skate much better. Belbin & Agosto bored me. It's a VERY simple programme. A few cross-overs & then a big lift. I would not have had them 2nd. I think they must be very worried with Olympic year coming that Davis & White might overtake them. I liked Davis & White a lot better tonight but I still think they are over-rated. Well done to Domnina & Shabalin, they are not one of my fave couples but if anyone should have got the gold out of the top 4, I would have gone for them. Over the 3 programmes I would have given the gold to Pechalat & Borzat. They were fantastic. Also the 3rd ranked Americans were SO BORING !. I don't know what the judges see in them.

You was robbed, guys! But big congratulations for 7th - good result. Is it too early to start speculation on next season's FD?

I am SURE that is because all the judges are right-handed and cannot bear to recognize the true and overwhelming talent and SUPERIORITY of our darling lefties...!!!!!? (..what? lefthanded,.... ...me? .....what makes you think that? ) I finally got to see the FD, and it was soooo beautiful!!! It´s slightly depressing for me though, .....I must be getting old, because the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw John in the FD was....: "Oh dear, that boy desperately needs a haircut....." ;D

Lanie, thanks for sharing the picture. You guys are so cute. While I was watching the FD on Universal Sports which has been working so well for me, my PC somehow kept freezing up and so I missed some couples. I've got to go to You Tube to check out the videos soon... As much as I love Isabelle & Oliver's fantastic FD, I really enjoyed Tessa & Scott's one. I liked everything they did out there including their sporty outfits, yet I am still not a fan of theirs. Though Tanith & Ben's performance did not work very much for me, I'm happy for them. Congratulations to Sinead and John on taking seventh place! They have risen in the placements every year. I feel sure it will all work out next season! Can't wait. (I like John's hairdo. )

btw did anyone hear Sue Barker yesterday? apparently John & Sinead are "in the twilight of their career"!
How the BEEP does SHE know? Ignorant woman ...

I think John's hair really suited both the OD and the FD, especially, this year. Like the pony tail a couple of years ago really suited the Tango OD. Maybe just a bit of a trim needed.....though I can't say much because I've got a similar style to him and Charlie White! ;D BTW - loved Virtue and Moir's FD - very different to their Umbrellas of Cherbourg last year. Pencil them in as the 2014 Olympics Champions.....that is, if John and Sinead aren't around!

Oh my........, I´m not suggesting John should shave his head or anything like that..... I´m just a bit scared he´ll go all "Gwendal Peizerat" on us....

And if they can get a half decent OD ...

Just now saw Virtue&Moir´s FD for the first time and was completely blown away!!!!!!! That´s my favourite FD this year by far!!!!!!! Love the simple black, and she seems totaly weightless. Goosebumps all over They are now on my favourite-couples list!!! .....Belbin&Agosto...... ?? Never liked them, I cannot explain what it is that puts me off so....... I´d better not comment at all on their FD....
