I had trouble viewing the scores during the telecast. I did NOT realize that Bradie was 0.01 behind Satoko, and had the 2nd highest TES of the night behind Med! I saw that Satoko was given 2 URs and earned a GOE of -1.20. Seems like that should've been greater which would've put Bradie in 4th.
Rules are rules, and if under those rules what Osmond did is considered a combo, then she deserves her score. It seems to me that it wasn't a true combo and in a perfect world, should have been penalized more heavily, especially in the strict rules that are normally applied to SPs.
That said, I would flip Bradie and Satoko (but I found her skate charming), and kept Med's score below 80.
