I agree with Dick & Peggy that Sasha was good, but not brilliant. That program can really make her light up, and that did not happen.
As to Emily vs. BeBe. I think the "wuz rubbed" sentiment in this case is rather a throwback to the old 6.0 system, where judges actually had to decide which skater was better. In this case, though, BeBe scored 0.25 higher than Emily on the elements. BeBe's components score was indeed rather low - in fact that alone would have placed her in fifth (patrially due to very high components score that Alissa got - in my opinion deservedly so). But actually Emily, Bebe, and Kimmie were essentially tied on the second mark.
