I love all the celeb judges! And OT, but Polina looks taller than Max at 1:40... isn't he 5ft8? How tall is Polina?

On-ice photo of Max and Polina standing side by side (late Apr 2015):
He looks a bit taller than her to me. A bit
I could be wrong, but I think good-natured Max has said in the past that he is 5' 7" -- "on a good day".

I just went with his ISU bio for height
: Well if she hasn't had a small growth spurt, she is still a little on tall side for a single female skater. I love to see her representing the taller girls.
Again, sorry for going OT~
I saw Gracie in person once. She is not 5'6". More like in between 5'4" and 5'5". Around Yu-na's height.

Gracie Gold is listed as 5' 5", and Polina was listed as 5' 5 1⁄2" as of last year, but Polina has grown another inch since then. I'm willing to bet that she's closer to Carolina's height now.

I'd say the best lutzes today belong to Liza T, Gracie, Wakaba Higuchi, Courtney Hicks and Karen Chen.
Yu-Na's lutz was a thing of beauty (speed, height, coverage) as was Carolina's (speed and cleanliness of the riding edge) and Agnes Zawadzki's (major height). A little further back, Julia S., Shizuka, Volchakova, Slutskaya (though it often lacked a fast clean riding edge), and Fumie Suguri (lovely pop into the air, tight rotation, clean landing). Ito comes to mind and Oksana Baiul had a monstrous lutz as well.
