Adam’s FS (with honorable mention to his SP)

Nathan’s SP (Quad Lutz, Triple toe, Quad flip, and a double axel, lol)

Laurine Lecavalier’s SP – her PB and some beautiful skating

James/Cipres FS – should’ve won the FS, IMO

Gabby’s SP – her 3T/3T and personal best

in no particular order:

- Adam Rippon FS - he really came a long way to a place where I can enjoy his skating and presentation, he felt free and happy
- Gabrielle Daleman SP - a spectacular performance, definitely the best for me out of all ladies: power, attack, technique, expression and the program itself is my favourite this season
- Piper and Paul's FD - my favourite FD this season, insane chemistry, sharpness and sensuality and Paul looked smoking hot #suaveoverload
- Aliona and Bruno SP - my fav program in pairs so far (they have probably the best set of programs this year) - fun, sassy, well-choreographed and Aliona is still a queen of pairs
- Wakaba Higuchi SP & FS - probably the biggest positive surprise for me, her presentation does not feel juniorish at all, love her coverage, that 'spring' in jumps and musicality, definitely one to watch for me - she could be a mix of best from Mao and Akiko for sure

honorable mentions (bit shallow mostly, but that's just me):

- Laurine Lecavelier outing in general - a stellar SP and the goof of that Grease FS which will be my 'guilty pleasure' this season I feel
- Vanessa James and Isabela Tobias in catsuits - seriously, if I had that kind of body, I'd wear sparkly catsuits on a daily basis, Aliona - the queen of catsuits - must be proud!
- Nathan Chen outing - this young man has some guts in him and I really admire his strive to push himself
- Natalia Zabijako FS dress - this is one of the prettiest dresses in FS I've ever seen

In no particular order:

Gabrielle Daleman's SP
Evgenia Medvedeva's SP
Papadakis & Cizeron SD
Gilles & Poirier FD
Adam Rippon's FS

Bubbling under: Denis Ten Ex, Javier Fernández Ex

Some of my fave non-skating moments:

Brian Orser going whoooooo-ooooo-oooo really loudly after Daleman's SP combo
Piper Gilles leading Paul Poirier to ice before SD - he kept his eyes closed and held on to her shoulders
Guillaume Cizeron fixing something in Gabriella Papadakis's make-up before SD
Javier Fernández's not very happy face towards Brian Orser just before FS steps
The first appearance of the pigeon during So Youn Park's SP
