I got to see the original dances while I was on vacation... it was so random. Disney World resorts have a Japanese TV Channel and skating was on... got to see Melissa and Denis

I miss when they show short programs on ESPN or ESPN 2 and they show long on ABC. Why did they stop doing that? And why did they stop showing pairs and dance on Lifetime? I miss that and the great fluffs they give.

Is Johnny a last season wonder or will he be a top contender this year. Let's check him out. Lindemann didn't really stand up to his best season,

What about Miki, is she going to make us think there is gold in the future?

Tune in tonight.

So what did you guys think????

I liked that fact that they actuall had a little coverage of the free dance .


I reall loved how Johnny Weir was singing the end of the the U.S. National Anthem. He has a really good sense of humor

I'd say Johnny answered that question fairly assertively. I enjoyed the program, it worked for me, even though it is somewhat solemn and melancholy. (The music is familiar... did Butyrskaya use it?) It's always refreshing when they skate well and I was thrilled with Johnny's marks. (I particluarly enjoyed the brilliant forward catch-foot position into the 3Lutz. Lovely!)
