Good luck to them! 4Tw is one of the most beautiful moves in pairs skating, imo, and it'll be a treat to see more of it.Of interest to people who watch pairs: per Lynn Rutherford's tweet, S/K will be debuting a quad twist!

I'm rooting for Josh, Max, and Ricky.
I've been waiting for Josh to light up an arena. He's got the goods. Now is the time to deliver.
This will sound perverse, I know. I'm a huge Jason fan, but I hope he skates well, but does not make the WC team.
He's going to need the quad to be a real contender on the World stage, not just an artist... a real podium threat... and it's past time we got over the whole semi-flirty "I've been practicing, maybe next competition" stage. So Jason, I hope you stay at home this year... you've got to figure out what it is you want exactly out of this sport.

I need to say I disagree; as far as I'm concerned, he can flirt all he wants. I totally agree with the concept of putting together a clean program with tons of triples. I would prefer to see that than a quad stuck in for the sake of a quad, or for the sake of a world medal.
Here comes my auto-pilot response to Jason and the quad and world medals (all who have read before can skip): Toller won very few world medals. And his Oly medal was essentially the "great career" bronze, which he barely won. We (all his fans) knew that the judging system wouldn't reward his talent. Because, after all, figure skating was a sport, and if you can't trace school figures, which is a verifiable, we-can-measure-it, aspect of sport, then you shouldn't be competing in a sport. Sport sport sport.
Jason is playing the game he needs to play; I think it's a shame that the system requires that game, but good for him. I want to see him and Misha Ge at worlds because I want to see them skate. With or without quads.

He has changed his SP...is that the surprise? Seems risky, although I wasn't particularly enamored with the previous SP. Maybe he thinks he has nothing to lose. But whatever it takes to make him feel confident is ok with me.
Maybe he liked the TEB outfit so much he changed the music to match better. . . cuz sorry but that **** did not match tuxedo junction.
I hear what you're all saying in defense of Jason on the quad issue. As I said, I'm a huge fan.
I still hope the WC team is Josh, Max and Ricky. If they hit the content they're capable of, then they have a chance at podium. Granted, the cards would have to fall just right, but it is possible. If Jason hits his planned content, it will be a great show, no doubt about it. But it almost certainly will not be enough.
Just one man's opinion.
