Looking forward to the reports. You mean you had other things to do with your phone than post updates on GS?
Also liked the news about Robin Ritros, if only to know she is a woman (Robin Cousins, after all ... )

I thought I saw one but can't find it now. There are these though:

sabinfire was kind enough to upload Jason's Skate America FS NBC commentary.

They were actually rather complementary! It may be the nicest we have hard them talk about Jason in a long time.

I would like to ask a question: Has Kori explained in some interview why Jason doesn't backload his short program more? in the free he goes for nearly everything after the halfway point, while in the short not only he jumps the triple axel before the halfway mark (which is understandable since he has still some problem with it, even though he has gotten a lot more comfortable jumping it) but also the 3 flip- 3 toe... It seems strange to me since she has always tried to build Jason programs so that he could achieve the best result possible in terms of TES eve with his base value deficiency...

The early clips we saw indicated that the 3F+3T was going to be the last jumping pass originally (we first saw it with a 2S as the first jump for who knows what reason - we originally though it could be a 4S placeholder but now I am not so sure).... anyway, originally it was last and someone found a post from Rohene saying that it was a choreographic decision as he felt the combo was best with the music there. So i am not sure what has changed. I don't know if he was struggling with that layout, was not comfortable with it, or Kori is still making him earn it through consistency.
Kori could just want Jason's SP jumps to go from hardest to easiest. His combo may be money, but I think a solo 3Z still is easier. However if his 4T replaces his 3Z that would be his hardest jump so the order could revert back to solo/axel/combo layout. I do they they are hoping to have it in his SP this year... i think they said by Nationals. So it could just be they are working up to it. Still... seems strange not to still keep the 3A and Combo in their intended place, but who knows. It could be Jason just likes and is comfortable with this layout or that the other was not working out well.

I think you also have to remember how hard this program is. Remember after Glacier Falls when he actually tweeted that he wasn't injured, just trying to get his arms around one of his hardest programs ever? And he did that because people were shocked that he fell on every jumping pass and botched one of the spins? So maybe they're keeping the jumps in the first half for stamina reasons. In any case, look how high he scored even while losing levels on spins and footwork- without those errors, he could potentially score 2 more points.

I'm so so so so happy that Jason seems to be back on track again! 
ETA: Not the best outing of Jason's FS this time, but on the positive side: there was another <4T, and this time he stood up! So we're going in the right direction for sure. Also, biiiiiiig PCS

Jason comes in and does commentary for the Ladies at Ice Challenge! He comes in around the 1:56:00 mark and is there for the rest. Lots of fun tidbits including that he wants to be a commentator after he's done with skating. He also talks about his FS and how he had to fight through the program.
Glad Ryan game him an opportunity to try it out today.

So since I didn't want to derail the Adam hair thread, I thought I'd respond to Stitch's question about Jason here. Yeah, I agree it looks very black. It's especially noticeable when he wears it down for the exhibition. My guess is Rohene wanted it darker because it's a more striking look with both his SP and FS costumes. But that's just a guess.

I also now think Jason's hair looks darker. I didn't want to say anything in response to other threads because some comments appeared quasi critical ( I really do think some posters would say, "wow, Jason crossed the street on *that* intersection? Really?" and I wouldn't be sure how to respond ....) like Adam, I liked the old color better, but it's not my hair.
And I am so glad I am not a Chan or a Hanyu uber. That SC men's thread is the gift that keeps on giving....

I thought Jason did a great job with Ryan - I only heard him talk about Tyler and Mirai but he has such nice things to say about both of them. He did not comment on Tyler leaving Kori - which I wouldn't expect him to do anyway.
My only concern if Jason ever becomes a professional skating commentator, is that he's so nice and upbeat, would he find it hard to criticize someone's performance?
Chan+Hanyu = Chanyu? LOL

He did say about a couple of the skaters that it "wasn't quite there" or "didn't quite work today", which was as negative as it got, if you could call that negative!
It would be refreshing. Like an American version of the British Eurosport commentators.I just chalked Jason's darker hair down to even more product and didn't think more of it.

And if it's a total meltdown, he could always borrow the BESP boys' "character building".
I haven't listened to it, but I think he'd be a great commentator - his "criticism" would probably be along the lines of positive, constructive feedback. "This or that in the performance/skate was great/good, but it could be even better if..." Or so I fancy, at least.
One of my fave insights from him was the one about spins. I forget where he talked about it but basically how the spins of the past are so beautiful but are quite simple because of the strict requirements. He explained how people have to be more flexible (physically as well as mentally) and more creative to meet levels.
He also talked about how important timing was in doing tano jumps after Serafima's performance. He said when the timing's good, it's almost easier to do it with the arms over the head, but when the timing's off it can be quite a problem.
