I saw it in peson. First of all, let me say that attending an event that is broadcasted live is a pain because of all the unnatural interruptions due to commercial breaks. Plus, I had two chatter boxes right behind me who kept comparing all skaters to the great ones. :scowl:
For the men's first skate, Matt was incredible. I am a big Johnny fan, but he was totally off. Mike's tricks plain annoyed me - even if it's exhibition skating, it's still skating. While I wasn't crazy about Tim's program, he did display some good footwork. Overall, Matt should have gone on to the next round with either Johnny or Tim.
Among the ladies, Alissa looked better than Emily; her spins are quite impressive. Michelle's skate was just uninspired. Sasha, though, was terrific, her skate really eminating energy. I was disappointed that she got far more votes than Sasha did, the difference between their performances was significant.
For men's second skate, Johnny did skate very well, and had a deserved win.
Sasha's second skate was incredible! She really tore the roof off! Michelle's second skate was far better than her first. Normally I wouldn't like anyone skating to this song, but she is one of the few skaters whom this music suites very well. While her skate was still far inferior to Sasha's, it was a nice skate. It lacked the elements (jumps were not an elite skater's jumps), but sill had the "Michelle" energy.
One thing I'd like to add is that I truly hate this viewer voting. I hope they never use it again, though I'm sure they will.
