- A new program can transform your season-"Take Me To Church" clearly elevated Kayne & O'Shea's level of skating
- An emotional song will pull in the crowd over a rock song any day of the week
- You can never rely on US Pairs to perform the way you expect
- Too much confidence is always a cause for concern (I learned this from Ann Jensen)
- Castelli & Tran have a future if they can.....eh hem.....stay together!
- Never underestimate the power of real ballet training-Aaron & Settlage show us that in their posture and extension through each limb
- If Denney and Frazier had not been injured, this would have truly been a 4-way race and the most competitive US Pairs event in years
- A purple unitard is something we all think about wearing but most of us leave it in the back of the closet with the gold lame hot pants
- Todd Sand still looks as fabulous as ever......like a real life Ken doll
- I love Jimmy Morgan for his skating, but also because I met him in real life and he tweets with me
Ladies
- I want Kori Ade to be my coach when I go back in time and become an elite figure skater; the respect between pedagogue and pupil is palpable
- Heidi Munger's costume was far and away my favorite
- Mirai Nagasu has done some living and that showed in her performance in a great way; her struggles have taught her to skate like a woman
- Karen Chen has "it" but "it" just wasn't her night, don't freak out people, she will come along
- Tyler Pierce blew me away with how effortless her program looked
- Ashley Cain should stop fighting the urge to skate to Frozen, she clearly already has the dress
- Abbott & Rippon are a breath of fresh air as choreographers
- Polina may not wow me as a performer, but she knows how to COMPETE at Nationals
- Ashley Wagner...well that broad sure knows how to put on a show
- Gracie Gold, you had one job and you singled a lutz?
- We had our moments, but I just wanted some clean skating; too much to ask?
