I taped Kurt's show and will watch it when I can sit and relax through the whole thing. Looking forward to it.
My DH was watching the first few minutes of it as I was at the computer waiting for Skate Canada to come on. He wanted to know "who is the gorgeous blond Kurt is skating with?" I told him it was Shae Lynn and that he'd be seeing that gorgeous blond in person on Saturday when we attend Fashion On Ice. Now I just hope she doesn't have to back out for some reason. Angela Nikodinov has already been replaced by Joannie Rochette, which is fine with me as we've never seen Joannie live.

I have to admit that I found the show pretty boring!! I don't know why. Maybe it was seeing Sasha skating for the millionth time to Hurt. I sure hope she changes this program before Stars On Ice.
Yes, I saw this. I don't care either way, but she has had implants. I think they look nice and natural - they fit her body (not to big/small). The only reason I noticed was because I've watched her skate the past few years and I think anyone who watches skating is familiar with the general body type of skaters. If Kwan gained 15lbs, we'd notice it, when Sarah lost weight during the Oly. season we noticed. Nothing wrong with these things, we just notice.
I wonder if this will hamper her jumping if she comes back for Vancouver...as a well endowed gal - I find my endowments are a real consideration when skating - i.e they get in the way and I can't wear certain clothes without certain support that tends to not go well with skating fashion.
I seriously doubt any kind of "come back" on her part. Remember when S. Hughes was talking about a "come back"? Hogwash. It's just TALK and nothing else.
But for this thread's sake, suppose she does. Then if any problems arise, unlike "natural" growth, she can just have the implants removed.

Normally I'd agree with you on the comeback....it almost never works but we're talking about Cohen who most certainly has the talent to be on top (not sure about the mentality and willingness to work for it). Sarah was not anywhere near as talented and besides, regardless of your take on her winning Oly - she'd reached what most would call the highest point in a skating career - what was left?. Her "comeback" I think really was unwise and only underscored that on the night of the Oly, she was the best but on any other night, most likely not. Sasha, despite her issues, was far more consistent than Hughes and I translate it into more talent and potential for a comeback. JMO.
Yes, the implants could be removed but it takes time to heal from surgery and time may be her enemy now....too far away from Vancouver to really start training (risk an injury or burnout) but if she waits to long, not enough time to train to get ready.

After watching the show all I can say is please no more motown... at least not live performances. As much as I love those songs the music drained life out of alot of the show... it wasn't fresh... it was really a rehash in away of Star Skates does Motown IMHO just different faces and a couple different songs...
that being said it was nice to see the show... a good Pro show... but it didn't really meet the bar (at least TV wise) of Kurt's shows... it just seemed too generic... and it was pretty evident the musical guests weren't very into the skating aspect...
bring back BNL!!!!!

I don't have a problem with Motown as I actually enjoy that type of music. I guess though it's not the same when you don't have the original lead singer of the Temptations any more and only three out of four Boys To Men. I never really considered them Motown anyway though.
I was trying to watch Skate Canada, but it came on later than scheduled, because of basketball, so I gave up for a while, and turned to Gotta Skate, about halfway through Sasha's skate. She looked wonderful, and it was great to see her skate so beautifully. I like what Johar said: "Seeing Sasha skate again was like seeing a long lost friend." Yep. 
Because Sasha worked in the pre-CoP era, it would be a big adjustment for her to compete as an eligible again. I think she could do it, but I wonder if it would be worth it; after all, she has an Olympic silver medal, already.

Not really Sasha's first year as a senior was the 2002. The CoP was introduced in the GP series in 203 i belive. She won the silver at the olypics under CoP, and her National Gold!

As TinyMavy said... CoP is not something Sasha hasn't worked in, she saw her big wins with it... and she had some of the highest scores in it for a long while (if not still?) I don't think that's what will hold her back if she were to return.
I can't resist...what big wins??
(other than the '06 US title)
Well she did win an Olympic medal. I know it wasn't gold but still it was a medal.

gold is the most important, but it's not the only color medals come in... and a silver is nothing to sniff at
I'm sure Kurt would have taken a silver medal in 92 or 94
