1. Is the fun I had posting with people here. I think it's a lot safer for the rest of you when the competitions don't make those of us in N.A stay up so late. We get rowdy. Why is it Europeans, Asians and Australians can stay up without losing their minds?
2. P. Chan's long. I don't know if it's just that I was really fighting off sleep but I found his performance very moving. He doesn't normally move me. I'm not always the biggest Patrick Chan fan so this was surprising.
3. The 3 lovely chinese pairs and the 3 lovely chinese dance teams. I hope they get them out there and send them to senior bs and give them more exposure.
4. Daniel Samohin's short to Tom Jones is my own personal red bull. I give me wings.
5. Osmond's short and Tuk's return to the form (hopefully).
I second the tech caller for ladies praise as well. They can't keep allowing underrotations and flutzes. And don't start with the prerotations because I think they should figure out what do about those too. (I do like the idea of playing the Grinch music when Mr. Shin AMANO name is announced in the arena)

Peng/Jin SP - One of my favourite Pairs SP this season. It is so charming and suits them well. I'm so happy to see Peng relaxed, happy and landing her jumps.
Kaetlyn Osmond SP - Her entire season has been amazing, especially after all her injuries the past few seasons.
Boyang Jin's SP: The program really came alive here when he landed all his jumps (+ home crowd). He's improved a lot since last season
Patrick Chan's FS: His skating is beautiful. Full stop.
Ladies' Technical Panel - I'm sad that Ashley will probably not make GPF. But it's good to see clean jumps rewarded, and the calls were quite consistent for everyone.

Peng/Jin SP. They are really an interesting, young couple, and I liked this program soooo much! It suits them really well and the choreo matches the music beautifully! Great for them 
Shin Amano, obviously ahahahaha
Boyang's SP. Really happy he delivered a good performance after the disaster at Skate America :agree:
Elena's SP, I'm just in love with the flirty Radionova in that program! It suits her capability of interpretation and performance amazingly well! Great job by Shae Lynn
Tukt's FS, well done! She seems returning to her best form, slowly, and I can't wait for Russian Nats
Bonus: Kaetlyn's SP, maybe my favourite SP of this season till now! Go Kaetlyn and good luck for the GPF! :gclap:

Chanās free skate was beyond beautiful despite a fall, which always brings down a performance for me. (Though sadly Iāve almost got used to men falling. Nearly everyone with quad attempts do ā¦well, shout out to Max Aaron and Voronov who didnāt at this event).
Radionovaās both programs and winning GOLD. Sheās such a fighter and performer and tackles her growth so well.
Osmondās both programs and winning SILVER. Iām so happy sheās back strong from all her injury problems. Hope she can skate two clean programs and challenge for a medal at worlds.
Peng/Jin having fun together, performing and skating well winning SILVER.
Boyang Jinās free skate with four quad attempts + fun attempt to charm the judges for better components. Better luck next time!
Honorable mention to Inna Goncharenko for:
* Bringing up a star
* Training and nurturing a silver fox
* Having patience with a naughty boy

I loved Jin Boyang LP so much, I watched it several times. It is childish but nice. The SP is also super entertaining. I am so happy he came back with strong programs. I only hope judges become more kind to his presentation marks. He improved so much, still marks have not changed.
So Jin grabs my first spots.
Next, in no particular order, come Kaetlyn SP, Voronov LP, Daniel Samohin SP.
Honourable mention: Weaver and Poje programs, both SP and LP

Can I give my "worst five" instead? What can I say, I'm the princess of positivity.
1. The overhead camera on the spins. I had to look away every time. Nauseating.
2. Dylan and Lubov's free program. All my teeth have cavities after watching that, I'm currently on my way to the denture clinic. I bet even Marie-France watches it and thinks: "This is too much mush, even for me. I need to immediately listen to some more Sam Smith to get my hate back."
3. Liza's black garbage bag dress. Why are her people so adamant on trying to make her appear ugly?
4. Kovtun after his short program, tossing his dirty snot tissue into the kiss-n-cry planter right on camera, and coach Goncharenko fishing it out in disgust. She was probably thinking: "How did I get so lucky to have such a graceful, classy student? Such a good skater too, that program was pure bliss!" Actually no, she was probably fantasizing about hitchhiking herself right out of China.
5. Kovtun, yet again! Spitting on the ice like a camel before his free program. Epitome of class. Such a gentleman.

She's a saint and has a lot more patience than I would have.

I'm seriously convinced that in January of 2014, somebody in the Russian fed actually had the ability to see into the future, witnessed Kovtun's behaviour this weekend, and said "Yep, this is why we're sending Plushy to the Olympics".
