That's not really true; check out the scoresheet from the GPF. Aside from Ashley's UR salchow combo, their GOEs are comparable across the board, identical in some places (3-3 combo, StSq, ChSq). Elena has higher GOE on spins and the 3F, but Ashley had higher GOEs on the 3Lz and 2A. Heck, if Ashley had gotten level 4s on her spins, her BV would only have been a point less than Elena's, even with an UR jump.
Now, trying to beat Liza's GOEs, on the other hand...
Its probably really unrealistic to think Ashley will win, but I'm just sitting here hoping. I've always felt the Russians in general are always over-scored.. so I just really want Ashley to beat them hahaha
I thought Ashley and Adam were together. They went to Hawaii and looked very much together. Why would she say this on twitter?
To my soulmate: I'm always with you @Adaripp. I love you to the moon and back and GO FOR IT! #NC2015
I'm confused.

Ashley and Adam are best friends. Not to speculate too much on someone's personal life, but it may be that Ashley is not Adam's... uh, "type," if you catch my drift.
Looks like it's a trend: female figure skater+ male speed skater couple. Thinking of Yuna and her boyfriend...
Yeah. Its all speculation with Adam. Lets try and stay away from his off ice life until we get more reliable news.
Getting back into Ashley, do you think she can get that clear outside edge on the lutz by Worlds?
Its going to be hard to undo a habit.
She has been doing much better with it this season, and there was a recent interview with her where she talks about that. Here's to hoping she gets it done for Worlds so she can win a medal!!Yeah.

I was excited to see that she posted this on her Twitter last night. Shae-Lynn mentioned in her TSL interview that she wanted to get another chance to work with Ashley to fine-tine her FS, and now she has! Maybe we'll see a few more transitions in Shanghai?
well Yuna did use a lot of crossovers but she still won a lot.Yes. She needs to reduce her crossovers by about 50 percent!

Honestly, I think her freeskate is fine... It's her short program that's a little empty. I wish she'd add a split jump or something during the first musical crescendo.
But regardless of the programs, I'm feeling quite confident about Ashley's chances at Worlds. Imagine if she skated last in the free, completely blew the roof off, after Liza and Elena were already perfect... I'd be very curious to see how the judges would score them in that scenario.
I like it as well. It builds with the music and then it peaks with the spread eagle - 3f - spread eagle - split jump sequence (nice!). So you might call it empty in the beginning, but not after the 2A.I feel like I'm the only one here who loves her SP this year
Honestly, the choreo might not be the best, but she SELLS it. That's what I love about her!
