Once again, this is likely going to be a popularity contest. Not enough of us know this new judging system to make a fair assessment
Or predetermined voting. I just looked at the list and decided who I wanted to see competing in the final round. I will probably vote for them, so I can see them skate again!
Guilty pleasure confession: actually, I am kind of curious about that.Does anyone really care who is the most popular?
So true.just remember, if ratings for marshals and other cheesefests tank, they won't even bother putting real competitions on their airwaves... so you can't have it both ways as a viewer
I think Belbin and Agosto might have a chance. They won the Skating magazine popularity contest last year, in competition with singles skaters. Tanith is awfully pretty. :yes:Pair and Ice Dance teams don't have that many fans, so I don't see that I/B and B/A have a ghost of a chance to do a second program.
But Joe, can you really blame network TV for not wanting to take CSI off the air so they could show the ladies long program in the junior grand prix event from Czechoslavakia last Friday? (The winning performance scored 78.56 points, she fell on her flip, staggered out of her Salchow, and got negative GOEs on both of her combinations -- sort of reminded me of the recent Marshall's competition.)I, in the meantime will be studying the results of the Junior Grand Prix which, of course, will not be shown on American TV.

You and I would have loved to have seen it. That makes two. Doesn't sell much Budweiser.
It's that capitalistic system, MM. The Soviets knew how to do it.
