For a couple of years now at Golden Skate I have seen the term "Cheesefest" mentioned for a couple of events like the Marshalls. After watching the so called competition, I see why the pun.
Clearly it is more of a popularity contest. Sasha should have won over Michelle, for instance, but Michelle is the most popular skater in the US and I hate to say this but most of the votes were favoritism. Now you know what the judges go through and get criticized for. Not such an easy job, eh?
Sasah clearly had the best two skates of all the ladies. I would have voted Alisha a close second.
I think technichally Michael Weiss could beat Johnny Weir, but not artisically. So that one came out at least fairly.
It will be interesting at the US Nationals. Michelle is going to have to really work hard to compete with all the new kids on the block and Sasha on her heels. In my books Sasha is the best female skater on the planet hands down and no appologies folks to the Kwanatics here at Golden Skate.
Great skate from Kurt!!! Enjoyed his commentary.
The whole thing did sort of remind me of American and Canadian Idol though with the text and phone in votes.
Though I may not always agree with them, I think I'll leave the juding to the judges.
Best to all the skaters.
