Alissa's long program, particularly at the GPF. Her reaction in the kiss and cry was priceless.
Kanako Murakami's short early in the season when she was still wearing the polka dot dress. What energy. The ruffly dress later in the season was a distraction.
Kozuka's long at worlds. It was a lights-out skate and I've never seen his coach so delighted.
Jeremy Abbott's short at national's. It was full of energy and fun but by the time he got to world's, his verve was gone.
The Shibutani's long. I liked it, and I find them refreshing.
And speaking of things I liked, I liked Cynthia Phanuf's early season white dress with the shoulders. It was different, but I only saw her skate in it once, I think. Maybe the shoulders made it harder to skate. Christina Gao had a similar dress in black that seemed to make it through the season. I liked it too.
I forgot to mention that I absolutely love Mao's Ballade. This is probably my favorite program this season even though it's an exhibition.

^^ Do you mean Tomas Verner's SP? I agree his SP was great and suited him very well, but I found his MJ FS to be disjointed and a little boring, too many music cuts, didn't particularly play to his strengths.
Oh! Yes. Gah, I can't believe I typoed that. Yeah, the MJ program was a disaster. And regardless of what you think of Florent's, I think Tomas's did not compare very well. He should have dumped it after the GPF.
