Slow start, but he brought it in the 2nd half. Should be enough to maybe move him up a bit.
Score: 90.47+71.98-1.00 = 162.45 (PB), 238.36 (tie PB) and in 1st (out of 3)

So what did I miss?

He's had awful posture for years...
Good for him picking it up at the end of the program, but Max needs to go back to the drawing board with both of his problems. Minimal choreography and awful spins. I know he touted this as a "modern Carmen" but there's no modern dance influence that I can see. Doesn't hit the music, no acknowledgement of big music changes, and slow into the footwork.

I'm proud of Max for not giving up after that very hard fall and wonky first few jumps. He had great energy and fight throughout the program. and this program is MUCH better than his long. Happy for him!
He should cut his hair, this Rippon style doesn't suit him...

He seemed okay at start, but made some stupid mistakes at the end. Still, love his presence and presentation

Takahashi should seriously consider retirement now, that error-filled FS is just not going to make it.

Other than the jumps, I think Dai's program is starting to grow on me. The cuts are still a little awkward and the problem is that it doesn't really build at the end. His step sequences are still beautiful though.
