4 Andrea Chong / Guillaume Gfeller - 34.11
5 Allie Hann-McCurdy / Michael Coreno - 33.59

Not too surprising there, but wow, look at that score for Tessa & Scott! The CD is always one of their strengths, but that's still exceptional. Of course Nationals scores are frequently somewhat inflated, but still.

Missed this on TV so cannot comment but Tessa&Scott got a new season's best in the OD with 70.15. There could be a little bit of inflation.

As expected, Tessa and Scott set yet another record with their free dance. What a difference it makes, having the whole season injury-free! I love, love, love this FD, and can hardly wait for Olympics.

But the other great news was how well they did the OD. They've had some technical glitches with it all year, so it was great to see it clean.

And great news for Vanessa & Paul. Kaitlyn & Paul would also have been a good pick, and it was sooo close, but I love how Vanessa and Paul really attack their programs. I also like their clean lines -- Kaitlyn & Paul's programs are sometimes too busy.

I really wished we could have sent all three teams to the games this time around but sadly that was not an option. I loved Vanessa and Paul's new outfits for the free dance. There free dance seemed to have more potential to grow even more as the season goes on than Kaitlyn and Andrew's. Vanessa and Paul also attacked there free dance that little bit more..

I still however don't like the dress that Tessa wore for the free dance.. it blends right into her and washes her out.. Also I find the skirt gets in there way for the lifts..
