Would you rather: (Sorry for this one!)

Introduce a new judging system

or

bring back the 6.0 system

 

[Layback11]

Trying to make this one hard:

This one is hard, but am more familiar with skaters from the Big 4, so I choose only skaters from Big 4.

Would you rather eat very spicy and hot food with any drink of your choice or very dry food without any drink (risk of choking)?

Very dry...can't take the heat, LOL.

Have all of your favorites fall on non-jump elements at worlds and barely miss the podium because of it
OR
Have them all skate perfectly but barely miss the podium because three other skaters made mistakes but got marked up in PCS?

 

[skylark]

Have all my favorites skate perfectly but barely miss the podium, because my favorites will always have the experience of skating their best at worlds, no matter what!

(this in fact, did happen at Worlds 2016 to one of my new favorites, Adam. He skated his best, even with one UR, but really everything else was perfect, and by that I mean not just with brilliant technique, but with beautiful presentation and performance. I felt that Shoma was overscored in PCS in the SP; and if he hadn't been, then Adam would have placed in 5th.... and that would have been enough for our 3 US men's places. Ouch! But I still think the experience for Adam was the most valuable thing.

Would you rather see Johnny Weir dressed "normally" while commentating, or let him continue wearing whatever he wants?

 

[merrywidow]

What is Normal? Let him be himself.

This or That category or Would You Rather category?

Would you rather have Kurt Browning have one Olympic medal or 4 World titles?
