I guess you find reruns of Coronation Street exciting then. I have a couple of friends in Quebec City who were going to see the Grand Prix final but who dont follow as much skating as me. I wasnt able to make it but copied the entire schedule for them but advised them to use the senior mens short and long programs at 9:15 pm Saturday and 5 pm Sunday as the time to get dinner and lunch as they were the most worth missing. They followed my advice last night, and much to their benefit as it turned out. I spoke to them on the phone late last night and they very much enjoyed the rest of the competition and the juniors last night, so happily that was not ruined for them by seeing the senior mens "competition".
Hey, have some respect for the mens competition. None of the skaters had a clean program, but it was definitely a competition since the results were not fixed. Patrick went in as a favourite, and although wasn't clean, he skated fairly well. He deserved to win the SP, and his score is not ridiculously high that other skaters don't stand a chance of winning. I think with a fairly strong FS, he will win - but will he deserve it? That will depend on the other skaters. That's why it's a "competition", Patrick's placement is going to be dependent on the other skaters' performances.
