He did seem to appreciate Fear/Gibson as being "the most professional" team there and seemed to enjoy them once they got into their groove outside of their official runthrough. But I do agree with your assessment that he was even-handed; always finding things to appreciate as well as things to constructively criticize.Jean Luc’s comments as to the skating skill levels of Davis/Smolkin are rather…pointed
Honestly, though, he is quite even handed, and no one yet has appeared to impress him
