Ashley has 6UR.... Kanako needs a triple triple combination

I can see Mirai improves a bit. Ashley... No.
Kanako is a headcase.
Not really... She removed 3Lz from her programs, so now the layout she used here is actually the most point-efficient - by doing 2A in combination with 3T it receives better GoE-factoring. I miss her old layout, though - I prefer a 7 triple program with a flutz from a 6 triple program without one... Plus, in the new layout she can no longer do her signature 3S-2L-2L combo.

Huh?
Despite the fact that 'headcase' is a pretty harsh word in general, Kanako surely isn't one. She has UR issues that often catch up to her, but that's a general technical problem, not a consistency thing. She surely isn't less consistent than the average girl right now, if Kanako is a headcase, so are Mao, Akko, Carolina, Gracie, Ashley, Adelina, Liza... well, pretty much everyone except Yuna and maybe Julia, Elena and Satoko.
Of course, I can't watch the majority of the videos - stupid music rights
But for Patty, Lena and Satoko:
This program suits PChan really well! The outfit is lame, but it was probably just for this one competition, so who cares. He looked in great shape though, so much speed and power!
And Elena is just lovely. Keeping my fingers crossed she'll manage to skate like that the whole season. Go Elena!!

^the problem with Kanako is that I don't know if she is competitive enough. She can fix her jumps IMO, but from what I've heard she doesn't look like she want to continue much longer after this season. At this moment I haven't seen any improvement from her (jumps, not really).
Her choreoraphy and the music cuts are just... I mean now I think I should have treasured Gracie's POTO a week ago.
I think if she tries harder for the next quad, she can be more competitive. But it seems she only tries for her final season. I am not sure.

None of that is making her a headcase though.
And I can't watch the video, so I can't speak for this performance, but IMO, Kana had some of the best programs from the last quad. Fixing her jumps isn't that easy either I guess.
And if she wants to quit after this season, I'd be very sad, but it's her right to do so. That's not a bad thing itself either.
Wow, I think Ashley has reason to be upset about how she was judged; I would estiimate an average -2 on every jump, never getting a level higher than 2 on spins. The elements often didn't look as crisp and clean as they should be, but this seems overkill to me.

I'm watching the videos now, and the program that impressed me the most so far has been... ashley's I'm sad for all those URs but the performance itself wasn't a bad one at all and this program is just completely different from everything else we're seeing righ now and from what she did in the past, too, it almost looks like an EX program. You can see that she's really trying hard to connect to the music and feel it, this is really a difficult music to skate to and I got the impression that she needs a lot more time to be able to "handle" the choreography and go through the program without making it seem an "emotional marathon", but I see great potential (and some crossovers too many... 
)

Satoko Miuyhara 
She skated again a clean free. I hope she will be in the GP final!

Her POTO is even worse choice than Gracie's IMO.

Is anyone else having trouble watching Anna Pog's program? I keep getting a video not available message on youtube. Wonder if it's a music copyright issue?

I'm prouf of Mirai!! She did attack her program and execute all her element! She deserved a better score for that skating And, I'm happy that she prove to USFS that she beat for a second consecutive time Ashley Wagner

I'm afraid this POTO season is going to mean that we will be watching some of the worst POTOs ever - Joined

But, after watching Wagner, I must say that I feel really bad for her and Mirai, both of them should have score higher. I can understand why they looks upset with their score
