I'll give this a try. :)

1. Who is your favorite skater of all time? I'll take this by discipline. Men: Brian Boitano Ladies: Shizuka Arakawa and Katarina Witt Pairs: Shen and Zhao, Babilonia and Gardner Dance: Bourne and Kraatz, Torvill and Dean

2. Who is your least favorite skater?
Evan Lysacek, Belbin and Agosto (don't hate, I'm being honest), Inoue and Baldwin (mostly Baldwin, I think Rena is a rock star)

3. Honestly, have you ever cried during a special skating moment?
I cried after the 2006 Olympics pairs free skate when I realized that Shen and Zhao had won the bronze medal, I also might have shed a few tears when B & K won their world title in 2003.

11. Worst costumes/hairstyle?
I hate it when male skaters are attacked by hair gel!

Hottest male skater? Maxim Staviski.

This is a tough one and honestly I'd rather not go there.

Not if I don't stop getting injuries. :frown:

4. Favorite Skating move?
A classic, not-overextended COE spiral on true edges for ladies, outside-edge spreadeagle for men

5. Honestly, who was FIRST favorite skater [maybe going back when you were little]?
Er...probably Paul Wylie.

6. Favorite program for 06/07 season?
Last season? Um...Don't have one.

7. Favorite TV commentator?
Gotta be Uncle Dick.

8. Favorite UNDERDOG skater [never won a major title]?
I don't know off the top of myhead.

9. Most annoying music skaters choose?
Romeo and Juliet. Any version. Ever.

10. Which skater has the best costumes/hairstyle?
I loved Shizuka Arakawa's LP program from the Olys.

11. Worst costumes/hairstyle?
Johnny's 'last temptation of Versace" or whatever that original costume for last year was (thank God he dumped it.)

12. Do you like the new judging system?
It's slwoly growing on me.

13. Who is the hottest female/male skater?
Ben Agosto. Gotta love that topline. He knows how to move. Alexei Urmanov was SMOKIN' when he was competing, too.

14. Honestly, which skater's personality do you dislike the most?
Johnny Weir needs a serious smacking.

15. One final question, can YOU skate?
Just passed the Fiesta Tango, which finished off Pre-Bronze dance, and at some point I really need to test my Pre-Juv moves.

ETA: How in the world are people calling Weir an underdog? Doesn't he have like three senior men's US titles? I would hardly call that 'no major titles!"
