Yeah, not the best starting spot, but someone's gotta entertain the crowd early on.

I watched the OD this morning in my bed without my contacts so I can't say I am the best judge of what went on but the scores were about what I expected in terms of distances btwn teams. Sinead and John are in 4th JUST behind P/B. They're going to have to skate their little tails off to pass them. I'm curious if they did not receive higher levels on their footwork because their score was just behind their season's best. I think it definitely would have been easier for them to skate in the second grp b/c the energy just kind of builds but that's how it goes. I suspect they will be the last to skate in the first warmup group now? I like to see V/M and D/W pushing each other--no one clear winner makes the competition more interesting. V/M's was sooo much better than at SC.. they pretty much were off-balance all the way down the ice at one point. Their dance was much better this time. I definitely enjoy the more lighthearted folk dances but appreciate the difficulty in all.

FD starting order:
Warm-Up Group 1 1 Vanessa CRONE / Paul POIRIER CAN 6 51.69 2 Anna CAPPELLINI / Luca LANOTTE ITA 5 54.91 3 Sinead KERR / John KERR GBR 4 56.47 Warm-Up Group 2 4 Nathalie PECHALAT / Fabian BOURZAT FRA 3 56.93 5 Tessa VIRTUE / Scott MOIR CAN 2 64.01 6 Meryl DAVIS / Charlie WHITE USA 1 65.80
So only just behind P&B, fingers crossed they can squeeze past into 3rd!
How have P&B been doing this season? I've heard that their FD is a bit avant garde, but I haven't seen it.

It's different for sure. I can't speak for earlier in the season but they seemed to skate decently at SC--not quite to the level I was expecting but maybe I'm just anticipating Olympic-quality skating too early in the season.

LOL, I'd be affronted if someone assumed I was English!
I hope the order, as it stands, is not how it is intended to be.
