I think he's third. I hope he'll be first when it's all said and done; anyone who can make me sit through Blues for Klook and even like it deserves respect :D
I considered ignoring this, but it needs to be addressed.
Seniorita is quite possibly the nicest person I have met in my years as a skating fan. She is super-friendly to other fans and open-minded about skaters who aren't her favorites, and doesn't expect everyone to like her favorites; I know this from personal experience. If you can't get along with her, I suggest you look to your own behavior and the language you use. Or utilize the ignore button for everyone who doesn't agree with everything you write.
1. All the judges gave Chan a -3 for that quad. Clearly, they thought it was a fall. Yes, I'm aware that you can get -3 without a fall, but to get straight -3s without a fall is unheard of. Hell, Chan doesn't always get straight -3s even when he does fall. I think he deserved the -1 fall deduction. I've seen lighter slips nailed, and to not nail Chan definitely will add fuel to the fire for the ABC brigade.
2. I don't think he was that tight, seniorita, but I definitely think he was lesser than he's been with the rest of the elements. Less playful during the footwork, I felt.
3. IMO, Dai's PCS > Chan's PCS at this competition. Not hugely, necessarily - the technical side of PCS tends to favour Chan and Chan's TES should be ahead of Dai's so Chan should be ahead anyway - but I felt that Dai ticked the PCS boxes better than Chan here.

Patrick Chan DID fall. He did! I can't believe the point has to even be argued! Corrupt judging!
I guess the gap between Chan and Takahashi is already so big that Chan is going to win this.![]()
To me, he fell. But I would not go so far as to claim it corrupt judging. It was not a clear-cut butt-on-ice fall, and so I can accept a certain degree of subjectivity. But again, I would call it a fall if I were a judge. Anyway, Valentine's Day is coming. Perhaps the technical panel is in a love fest just as I am in a loving mood.![]()
Dai's combo didn't get downgrade or UR.
I can't believe it.
corrupt judging!

The second jump looked just slightly under-rotated to me, less than half a quarter (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzUwOT....html#t=05m00s).
