Thank you! I wasn't able to go, so I really appreciate the pics. They're good quality.

Ooohhhh - I like the phrase 'audience pandering'. It totally captures how I feel about Elvis's exhibition #'s, most of Candeloro's professional #'s and exhibition #'s and Alexei's Shout.

Thanks for the great review and photos. I was also in the audience that night, and had a great time. So sorry to read in your review that this years Ice Wars was Brian's last. The event will miss him.

Wow I hardly recognized Butyrskaya.

Teena, great pics! Thanx for sharing!

[Teenes]

You're welcome! I'm glad you guys are enjoying them!

BTW just an explanation for the two photos from warmups where Kurt's in front of the judges and then you see them laughing - he had decided to sneak along the boards out of sight, and then pop up in front of them to scare them. The first photo is the moment he popped up - as you can see, Christine and Isabelle haven't even had time to react - and the second is the after photo, with Christine, Lloyd, and Isabelle laughing. I realized upon looking at the photos that they didn't at all make sense if you didn't know what happened =).

Who was replacing who? Maria replacing Nichole? Is Nichole OK? Was there someone else?

Yuka replaced Katarina Witt, who was out b/c of an unspecified injury.

Maria replaced Nicole Bobek - I heard she has a kidney infection and has pulled out of other events in recent weeks as well.

Yuka wasn't their first choice? That's amazing.
