2.Davis/White
3.Navarro/Bommentre

Realities:
Ladies:
1.Ashley Wagner
2.Rachel Flatt
3.Alissa Czisny

*If Sasha Cohen does compete I think she can finish either 1st or 2nd. I doubt she would actually show up if she didn't think she could skate well enough to at least make the Vancouver team.

1.Evan Lysacek
2Johnny Weir
3.Jeremy Abbott

Pairs:
1.McLaughlin/Brubaker
2.Inoue/Baldwin
3.Denny/Barrett

Dance:
1.Davis/White
2.Belbin/Agosto
3.Samuelson/Bates

From what I've seen of the programs I think B&A skating their best could win at least the CD and FD but seeing how the judging has been going all season, 1st and 2nd placements could/should go either way depending on the performances.

[Tonichelle]

I'm so tempted to participate, but I'm tempting the skategods as it is for doing the USFSA Fantasy Skating thing...

GO KEEGAN!

2.Abbott
3.Weir

But personally I'd prefer it:
1.Abbott

Dance:
1.Belbin/Agosto
2.Davis/White
3.Navarro/Bommentre

3.Inoue/Baldwin

[gold12345]

My hopefuls are pretty much the same as my realities!

Ladies:
1. Flatt
2. Wagner
3. Czisny

This is what I am hoping for, too, except that I'd rather see Nagasu get 3rd.

Men:
1. Lysacek
2. Abbott
3. Weir

But I wish Abbott would win. I don't really care so much about the others, but I believe these 3 guys belong there.

Pairs:
1.McLaughlin/Brubaker
2.Denney/Barrett
3.Inoue/Baldwin

As long as M/B win, I will be happy.

Dance:
1.Belbin/Agosto
2.Davis/White
3.Samuelson/Bates (but right now I would rather watch N/B)

[Poodlepal]

Realities:
1. Evan--he will have to be carried off in an ambulance to not win.

2/3--Johnny, Jeremy in either order.

I wish: Johnny would skate the performance of his life and get more fame for that than his outfits.:chorus:

Dance:
1. Belbin and Agosto
2. Davis and White

I wish: The order were reversed, but I think Belbin and Agosto will be held up.:chorus:

Pairs:
1. Rockne and Keauna
2. John and Rena

I wish: Some pair really, really good with realistic medal hopes would burst onto the scene.

Ladies:
1. Sasha
2. Rachael
3. Alissa
4. Ashley

If Sasha doesn't show, push everyone up a notch.
I wish: Someone with realistic medal chances internationally beats all of these underachievers.

Barring that, I hope Sasha skates clean, Rachael speeds up a little, Alissa skates clean and Ashley stays true to herself and doesn't try to become a cookie cutter skater.
