- Nice matching leg lines through the Rhumba with a nice big pattern and a nice flow across the ice; everything seems a little placed and they don't let the movement really take them
- Really off on their timing on the twizzles
- He's skating backwards on one foot and she's arched back, he struggles to hold the foot up
- Their circular step sequence doesn't go to the edges of the rink and instead stays closer to the middle
- They competed as novices last season at nationals, so this is quite the jump for them
- Good speed through their opening section into their twizzles with good unison
- Haircutter rotational lift with her free leg in a stag position
- They really try and pay attention to the details in the music and hit the accents
- She really needs to stretch through her free leg, especially since the hot pink leg warmers draw a lot of attention to them
- This step sequence seems slow compared with the music they're skating to but they have really nice unison and a good spatial relationship between them
- Nice speed and latin flavor through the opening section
- Nice timing, speed and flow through their circular step sequence with a lot of arm movement and nice expression
- I like her arm choices through the rhumba but I'd like to see her not lean so far forward through the whole sequence
- Split rotational lift with her leg on his shoulder
- A small bobble getting into the ending pose but otherwise a really nice program
- Nice Latin flavor with some samba rolls at the beginning and some nice Latin steps
- Nice solid twizzles with really good unison
- They really ride some deep edges in their circular step sequence
- Nice flow through the rhumba sequence with nice matching leg lines
- Heel stretch standing in his hands with a cartwheel into a cradle exit
- 2nd sequence of the rhumba with some nice arm positions from her
- Nice twisting split transitional lift to end their program
- Nice expression right from the first moment of the program
- Really great edges and soft flow over the ice in the circular step sequence
- Nice spread eagle position for him with her holding her body horizontal over the ice
- Nice ease in their rhumba with good flow
- Pretty good unison on the twizzles
- They have really nice transitions and flow through their elements and it's a very solid well put together program where you don't just see them checking the boxes
- Rotational lift in the cradle position with a few dance moves into their ending pose
- So much fire from the start of the program and really nice transitional moves with a lot of Latin flair into their rhumba
- Good leg positions with matching lines and nice stretched legs with good edges
- Signature lighting fast twizzles were great today and they had good distance between them
- They hold on to their edges for a really long time in their second rhumba section
- Cute hip section in the middle gets the crowd cheering
- Nice speed and great flow through this step sequence with everything very nicely in sync
- Haircutter rotational lift and a huge cheer from the crowd and a standing ovation
- I love this hot pink color on Charlotte
- Compared to the Shibs, their Latin moves seem more forced and more like choreography instead of flowing naturally to the music
- They do have nice flow through the rhumba but have a really small height difference so he has to watch how deep he goes in his knees to not appear shorter than her
- Nice arms and edges throughout the circular step sequence
- Haircutter rotational lift with her wrapped around his body
- Lots of nice genuine emotion and Latin flavor at the beginning of their dance
- Flip up to a curve lift with position changes for her and a spread eagle position from him
- Nice big pattern on the rhumba with good hold on the edges and nice flow
- A little off on the unison in the first and third sets of twizzles
- Good matching leg lines through the second set of the rhumba
- Nice choreography in this circular step sequence with some unique and interesting steps but a few spots where unison is off
- Cartwheel around to the ending pose
- What happened to his hair?
- Lots of sizzle and hip action at the beginning of this program--she was born to do Latin
- Nice twizzles with the leg held in front but they completely lacked unison on them
- Lots of nice arm movement from her and a nice transition out of the rhumba--really seamless
- Hop up to two nice positions for her with a spread eagle position for him
- Good speed and flow through the second rhumba sequence
- Nice transition with her in a split position on his boots
- Nice choreography trhough the step sequence but I'd like to see them do a better job of keeping a more constant distance between them instead of drifting together and then apart
- A few of her hand positions in the rhumba could be a bit more turned out
- Nice twizzles with the leg extended out and a nice movement betwen each other on the twizzles
- Nice one arm rotational lift that changes heights with a nice easy set down
- Good speed and flow through the rhumba and I like how she uses her head and shoulders to really sell the sassy feeling of the program
- They have such great flow and transitions in their program that you don't see the elements as asll as they are part of one cohesive program
- I really like the way they attach their program and always seem to give it their all--they also seem to really enjoy the high energy latin rhythms
- I like that they are equally matched in attacking the opening of this program and really selling it to the audience
- Nice deep edges and good one foot sequence on their circular step sequence with good timing
- Nice leg lines in the rhumba and I really like the natural use of her arm that just adds to the quality of the sequence
- Cartwheel up to standing on his hip and twist down to a cradle position--very smooth and very solid
- They cover a lot of distance on their rhumba and have really nice edges
- Good unison on the extended leg twizzles and she is really going after the end of this program
- I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear gauntlets with a wrist poof before
- Her face looks very tentative in the rhumba and she keeps her hand in the hold the entire sequence
- Their edges are not as clean as Hubbell and Donohue's were
- She really drifts away on the second set of twizzles and has an awkward hand position
- Split on his boot with him holding her top leg
- Decent circular step sequence
- They're lacking the Latin fire that we've seen from a lot of the other teams tonight
- This dress is absolutely stunning on Meryl. It complements her so much better than the orange
- Love that she is totally in character even before the music starts
- I think they hit every accent in the music through this opening sequence
- Really solid twizzle sequence with amazing unison, good distance and speed
- This middle section with all the hips going into the rhumba is a really nice transition
- Such deep edges from them, a lot of free arm action with easy changes of hold in the rhumba with a nice transition out
- Nice unison on the circular step sequence with a lot of coverage on teh one foot sequence, lots of upper body movement
- Hop up to the lift on his hip and arching back over the ice as he goes into the spread eagle
- Cool ending transitional lift where she goes through his legs and lands on his hip
- About a half rotation off on their first set of twizzles but back together for the second set
- At the beginning of the rhumba she didn't quite seem to get her free leg fully stretched, but it was better by the end
- Awesome lift--she is laying on his skates, he picks up her leg and pulls her up to a handstand with one leg held to her head in a haircutter; definitely the most creative lift of the evening
- Nice deep edges through the rhumba and right up into a nice transitional dance lift into their ending pose
