"we are needing an explosion!"

[jaina]

Tanith and Ben still rule the world, but Melissa and Denis just plain rocked. I'll be rooting for them at Worlds for sure. And dear God, julietvalcouer, I totally see what you mean about Morgan Matthews. She looks-- well, gross. Very sad.

Pairs? Um. I really did not see this great American pairs renaissance that the commentators kept going on about. I mostly saw couple after couple heave each other about and gasp around the ice. The kids with the big triple twist though, they were good, but they've got a ways to go to be really competitive internationally. And what the hell was up with John Baldwin's I-got-mugged-in-Russia story? Seriously weird.

The little junior girls were adorable, but I kept thinking, "Oh, just wait till you hit puberty, kids. We'll see who's laughing then."

Tomorrow night! Evan Lysacek and His Manly Stubble try to dethrone Johnny Weir and His Inexplicable Hair! Oh, and there might be some girls skating too or something. (Go Alissa! Don't choke!)

See, I had him classed as "aw, adorable" but then suddenly it was like "whoa, hot!" Maybe it's the stubble.

I really hope Morgan gets some help. They could be really good. :(

I really liked Davis/White but was not terribly crazy about their program. But they're sure to be around for years to come so maybe I will like next year's better. :)

I agree, Rachel Flatt, *totally* robbed. You could tell the commentators wanted to say it too, but were too chicken. Give her a couple years to grow up and get some artistry, and she'll be great.

I think it's the intesity thing-Evan's ON this year. And has the eyes to pull it off.

I think with Flatt, they figure they can't send her to worlds, so they might as well not bother placing her.
