There are no medals for Kwan, so who should skate in that coveted spot?
Who should skate LAST in the COI?

I didn't vote for Michelle, but I have no doubt that it will be her spot until she so chooses to not have it... or someone comes close to her star status (at least in Collins' pocketbook's eyes)

Who is the only skater I will sit through the hoola hoop girl & clowns to see? Michelle
Money trumps Medals... to quote Purple Rain: "This here is a business"

I could not decide between Plushenko and Kwan. Plushenko is the current Olympic champion, and 3-time world champion. Kwan has no medals in the last two years but she is an icon, especially in the US. I think it will be very appropriate to give her that last spot as an honor. However, Plushenko is equally worthy of it.

I voted for Shizuka, since she's Olympic champion.
Without having read the comments of others....
I vote "Shizzy" because then those people who only came to see Michelle (whom I do like) will hopefully be gone and I can get a clear picture of the Ina Bauer that people rave about but the camera operators keep missing the shot! (dreaming that I actually had tickets, of course!) Then, I could also get my car out of the parking lot without too much of a wait!

After seeing the show, I think casting Michelle last was a big mistake because Michelle had a slow program and she is injured so she didn't do anything spectacular. Sasha on the other hand was spectacular and it was a letdown that she didn't skate last b/c with the patriotic music and the wow moves, she would have ended that show on a high note.
There were no standing ovations in the show I attended and while MIchelle got the biggest response before she skated, after she skated her response was less than that of Weir, T&M and Sasha.
Also Lambiel, Shizuka aren't doing all the shows like Sasha is or else I would have picked Shizuka to close.
And seeing Yevgeny's Tosca in person... he was good but that kind of program really isn't good enough to close a show with.

I voted Shi-chan as well, just because of the Oly win - it is earned. You guys come up with some really strange nick-names. At least there is no negative translation to that one that I know of. Zuka translates as fragrance, so you just go figure how the translations comes into play. It really doesn't matter in the end, but .... just thought I would mention it again.

As much as I love Totmianina/Marinin, I voted for Plushenko, who has dominated Men's skating for the last four years. (They'd never let a pair close.) There have been arguments that if Kwan didn't close, people would leave after she skated, but if she had the penultimate spot, I doubt many would leave before Plushenko skated and the finale. And if they did, getting out of the parking lot would be easier for those of us who stayed.
Where is Arakawa skating?
