Unpopular opinion: I loved all of G&P programs pre-Vincent, and loved them more than Vincent. I haven’t really liked any of their material since then (the ‘80’s RD being a possible exception). So that’s why I’m happy they went back to this. I know I’m in the minority

Allison & Saulius winning the FD! Horrible to say, but could it be missing the FD at Worlds was the best thing to happen to them?

That lift was scary as heck. Excellent recovery
This program fits them so well; glad they brought it back. Plenty of emotion, without leaning heavily into sentimentality. And highlighting a lot of what makes them unique and interesting as a team

I do like this concept but the music is just too fast so (other than the choreo step sequence) it looks either like they’re off the music or racing to catch up to it
But big respect for them ALWAYS choosing material that is unique

They’ve really found their lane the past 2 seasons highlighting Christina’s romantic beauty in their packaging. It’s great. #SCI25 #GPFigure

They are looking so strong and confident. Love that for them. More vocals I don’t love, but this team consistently picks material that works for them

An almost smile from Zach in the kiss & cry? Wow. Momentous occasion 😀

Lajoie & Lagha, on the other hand, skating a White Crow program with intensity and finesse. The difference is in the details: fuller extension, more speed, and successful integration of the ballet attitude into the character of the choreography. Superb. #SCI25 #GPFigure

Bratti & Somerville falling into the trap of most White Crow programs: it's generically pretty but that's it. It's Fine™. #SCI25 #GPFigure

I love the white crow music I’m not mad to hear it again. Maybe we should go back to compulsory and have a white crow-off #SCI25 #GPFigure

Had forgotten just how much I loved this program from them. The twizzles alone are a work of mastery but the whole thing is just wonderful

And — hot take — the simplicity of her look gives superior skirt presentation #SCI25 #GPFigure

The skirt was cool, but the stationary lift is questionable for a sibling team, I’m just going to say it #SCI25 #SkateCanada #GPFigure

Not sure how I feel about this one
Great skirt work on her part and I liked the layout of the program

They’re still babies in ice dancer years — Hannah is 20! — I’m so ready for whatever amazing developments await them in the next quad. #SCI25 #GPFigure

Beautiful program. It’s an impassioned concept and they wisely don’t overplay it. Those vocals are not to my taste but I can nearly overlook it just watching these two dance
