Wow, just wow. Is there any advantage to plan a 3+3+3 in a program if you don't have a quad?
Not much.
For women, it would allow you to do 7 triples in 5 jumping passes, plus one more pass for a double axel (or triple axel if you've got one, which would also allow you to do 8 triples total).
So then you'd have one extra jumping pass left. You could use it for another double axel, or for a low-base-value jump, like delayed axel or split-flip, or an interesting jump sequence with single and/or double jumps, that might help your PCS more than it would help your TES.
WOW, stunning and so easy-looking. The base value for that would be huge. The only more difficult combination by a lady I have seen in my life is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8P0TkVTXjM 3Lz+3Lo+3Lo by Miki Ando .

Okay. A lot of female skaters already skated/planned 7 triples +2a. I guess Gracie is trying this to make her 3+3 combo more consistent. She can certainly replace the 3+3t to 3+3loop to increase base value.
Do you guys think that 3+3+3 combo was fully rotated?
Gracie's 3x3x3 look fully rotated.
Miki's 3x3x3, the second one maybe get a < depends on the caller, the third will get a <<
Gracie can do this layout

2A3T

2L
Her base will go up by 1 2A, 1 2L on the technical side. (should be 3.3 + 2.4?) That's 5+ points + GOE.
Her PCS should go up by a few points. People will take notice immediately.
Her jumps are huge, and cover a lot of ice. Her GOE will be significantly higher than the Russian girls.

The ones I've seen her do personally are fully rotated. They are more impressive in person than vid because you can't see the speed/height/flow the same way as you can in person.

Hopefully training something this difficult won't lead to any injuries because, like gkelly said, it really won't allow her to do anymore triples and there isn't any combination bonus. It really is incredible to see but it scares me to think how practicing this combo will affect her body 5 years from now.
I wish there was some kind of combo bonus because as of right now you are just getting tons of points in one jumping pass that other people would do spread out. She can run out of triples to do if you do that.

You'd be better to do 3S2Lp and then do a 3Lp by itself for the ?

She's competing in juniors, AFAIK.
What's a real shame is that she only got 1 JGP assignment (which she won), and so will not be at the JGPF.
Last year she didn't make it to nationals (she went through her growth spurt).

If she has gone through her major growth spurt her growth plates should be pretty much closed. I believe most damage is done for anyone on ur jumps, as they put so much tork on the joints.

I had no idea Gracie had the 3loop available as a combination jump ender. I know she has that 3toe ender down pat. With this, I'm starting to think Ms. Gold may be one of the best jumpers US ladies has ever had. And she's not just a jumping bean. She has excellent skating skills and decent enough spins. She has been consistently dominant in her last two competitions. She basically has all the fundamental building blocks of a great skater, lacking only artistry, which I mostly blame on her being saddled with two horribly choreographed programs.
But this is repeating four different triples. You're only allowed to repeat two.
