Bobrova and Soloviev made a smart choice in changing coaches. They are awesome to watch live, now, and they were SO BORING before!

How do you know that Marina favors the Canadians? I suspected it for a long time, but were there any interviews or anything? I personally really dislike Tessa and Scott's attitudes... they get in the way of their skating. Also, I can't stand their FD this year... did Marina choreograph it? Because if so, THAT looked like it was done in less than a few hours.

I heard from Tessa that a program which was made by Marina didn't go that well and the current one is from Tessa's ballet choreographer.

I just found this on icenetwork (not trying to prove you wrong, polosatik - who knows, Marina might be taking credit for this FD when it was really created by someone else, as I really wouldn't put something like that past her at this point): http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121027&content_id=40086726&vkey=ice_news

But I wish that they would work with a modern dance choreographer for it. It might make that dance watchable! Meryl and Charlie always tend to work with some famous dance instructor for a couple days or a week in the middle of the season, and I have never really heard Tessa or Scott do something like that. That could just be because I live in the US, though.

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Bobrova/Soloviev this season. Such a wonderful transformation, it made me wish they'd go to Zhulin sooner.

About Marina; I read somewhere a couple of years ago (I think it was around Olympics) that Marina prefers Canadians and Igor the Americans.

Interesting Tessa said that at COR press-conference.

Huh, that is weird... because also, their choreographer is officially listed as Marina. Hm. Maybe Tessa is trying to say something here?
