Kaitlyn Weaver and Bryan Bickell eliminated on 'Battle of the Blades'
4 remaining pairs will compete in the Season Finale on Nov. 26, 2020
Kaitlyn Weaver and Bryan Bickell went home on 'Battle of the Blades' this week.
After an intense competition that saw 5 pairs skating for a spot in the finale, Kaitlyn and Bryan received the lowest score and said goodbye to their spot on the ice.
"You guys delivered on my asks," said judge Natalie Spooner. "You had tricks and lifts, a headbanger, a handstand, I mean they were equally as exciting as they were scary, but you definitely had me right on the edge of my seat."
Judge Scott Moir was a little more critical. "I did love the new tricks," he said, "but a little mistake on the exit of the headbanger. We're in the Skate-Off. Is it going to hurt [you]? I don't know."
Unfortunately, their final score of 17.4 wasn't enough to keep them in the competition.
Watch Bryan and Kailtyn's performance:
Kaitlyn is a three-time World ice dance medallist, three-time Canadian ice dance champion and two-time Olympian. Along with Sheldon Kennedy, she was the winner of Battle of the Blades last year.
Bryan is a former NHL player and two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The remaining skaters will compete in the Battle of the Blades Season Finale on Nov. 26. The winning team will receive a $100,000 donation to the charity of their choice.
