Ok here we go, I was discussing this with my boyfriend tonight, well I discussed and he laughed and said,"and so it begins"
to which I replied,"it never ended, Ive always got skating on the brain"
I will be honest I SUCK at predictions, since most of the time its a roll of the dice and I have personal feelings that I want to add into the mix but try and leave out
Ladies: I think this is QUITE tough to call
1) Yu-Na Kim
2) Miki Ando (depending on the day)
3) Mirai Nagasu/Rachel Flatt/Yukari Nakano (Im hoping for Mirai)
Men:
1) Johnny Weir (I hope)
2) Evan Lysacek
3) Adam Rippon
I was hoping for KVP
to be on the podium but he withdrew 
, Im rooting for Shawn Sawyer as well but I doubt he will be on the podium.
Pairs:
1) Savchenko/Szolkowy (I think the only easy prediction I made)
2) McLauchlin/Brubaker
3) Inoue/Baldwin
Ice Dance: another toughie
1) Delobel/Schoenfelder or Belbin/Agosto
2) Belbin/Agosto or Delobel/Schoenfelder
3) Samuelson/Bates
4) Kerrs
Now since I made these predictions Marchei, Reynolds, Yankawskas/Coughlin,
& Carron/Jost may just take the Gold medals like Joesitz is predicting

The main reason it is difficult to pick the Ladies Division is because how much have we seen of the Ladies this season? They do improve since the last time we've seen them.Ok here we go, I was discussing this with my boyfriend tonight, well I discussed and he laughed and said,"and so it begins"

The easiest way to predict, if you must, is to predict the podium in no particular order.Your odds on being correct are more in your favor.
I'm surprised to hear Miki is flirting with trying the quad again. The last time she successfully landed a quad in competition, she was 14, and it was under the 6.0 system; she is now 20, and we have CoP and UR calls and penalties.
Every time she has tried the quad in competition since, she has fallen, the quad was underrotated, or both, and the adrenaline from the attempt disrupted the rest of her program. Under CoP, a failed attempt gets heavily penalized.
I don't know why Miki feels she needs the quad. If she lands all her triple jumps and skates clean, she has just as good a chance to win as anyone else. IMO, gimmicks are a distraction and can be disastrous. Kimmie Meissner found that out a couple of seasons back where she insisted on trying the 3A in a GP event. Not only did the 3A attempt fail, but the rest of her program was a hot mess.

Hi Betty07!
Yeah, I agree w/chuckm. I don't think Miki should be too wrapped up on doing the quad. She should focus on skating clean programs throughout the GP series because she seems to waiver and falter at the conclusion of it.
Ladies:
1. Yu-Na Kim
2. Miki Ando
3. Rachel Flatt>Mirai Nagasu
Rachel might have a slight advantage over Mirai since Mirai grew a few inches & her jumps seemed to be a bit underrotated because of it. So just assuming that it takes time to adjust to being taller, I think Rachel has a good chance @ the bronze. Who knows though, Mirai could get an adrenaline rush & might be able to rectify her underrotations rather quickly.

:agree:
It's great if Miki lands the quad in competition, and it would boost her confidence. Especially since she often lands them in practice.
On the other hand, with a clean skate, she has a good chance to win without it. So I have mixed feelings about it.
I think it's frustrating for Miki that she lands quads in practice, but hasn't landed one successfully in competition since she was 14. She wants to show all her potential, but for the quad it hasn't worked so far, in competition.
I hope she's able to fight through, and land one again ( or more throughout the season ! ). I think this would make her more happy, that she's showing all her potential. I hope this season will be a great one for her
