KC saves its best for last. We now know that pressure has literally no effect on Nathan Chen--in fact, pressure makes Nathan Chen even better. Every time he hit a quad there was an enormous cheer, and when he was done, even Tara and Johnny were on their feet. He got another standing O when his scores came up.
The other performance I absolutely loved, and thought was underscored, was Mr. Grant Hochstein. Looking at his protocol I see the problems, but he is seriously an incredibly soulful performer.
To be honest, a major highlight for me was Sean Rabbitt. What a skate, what a performer, what an athlete!!! He connected with the audience the best of anyone, and he gave really a fun amazing performance.
... and thanks for your candor and sense of humor:
Yay and good for them!
