It's too bad that she can't get her jumps together..her programs are really nice this year.

I'd have to see her do a program where Yuna or Irina from 2005 jumps for her to really judge. I can't really enjoy her programs with all those mistakes.

I thought only the top 5 picks actually count and the sixth is an alt- am I wrong? (I hope this doesn't sound rude or mean- I really am just confused)

Yes. That's why I said might have gotten rather than did get.

 

[tulosai]

Yes. That's why I said might have gotten rather than did get.

Oh got it I think everyone is going to be very low scoring on the ladies here...

 

[Mrs. P]

BTW, I just want to put it out there that everyone who wants to will be allowed to participate in the GPF. No one has to worry about placing top 6 in an event or any of that.

Right! Just wanted to put the top 6 for those who want to brag!

I'm happy I nailed the men (top five!!!!!). Because I plan on being really stupid with my CoC predictions, so this will give me some leeway. Macassar88, you've made the fall season even more fun, so thanks!!! And kudos to all the talliers too.

[Macassar88]

It's weird, but I have this odd feeling that Bobrova and Soloviev will either finish first or third, but not second. I can't completely explain it, but I feel like CoC is where they get their best scores, and if the judges are willing to reward them, PB and WP are close enough that BS could leapfrog the both of them, but if the judges don't find them to beat one, they won't beat the other.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

The positive thing is, it can't get any worse than SC!
