Since the numbers were all given by judges, I'm going to go ahead and say they don't speak for themselves, they speak for the judges who gave them.

Also, this is maybe OT, but: I loved Kostner's Ave Maria, but felt like the sultry-ish Bolero routine kind of missed the mark. Is Bolero a sexy piece of music, and I just never realized it? It's always felt really dramatic and kind of military to me. I have nothing against sexiness, but I feel like different music

But you didn't put your unmade bed on display for the world to see, and judge, and contemplate. To me, it's the idea and the action that's the artistic element, not necessarily the difficulty of the execution.

I get what you're saying, but men and women's figure skaters are still explicitly judged on artistry and choreography as major component.

Meh. I'm a big Yuna fan, so not at all impartial, and I definitely think Yuna was the better skater on the night. People are right that Adelina's program had a higher base score, but I felt that her grades of execution and components were overscored. Yuna was relying on those two factors to bring her ahead, and they

Oh believe me, Koreans are making pleeeenty of noise over this. I still disagree with the original comment.

I kinda dig modern art, and I love it when this happens. I feel like the art is in how people react to it. Especially the un-made bed. I mean, what does that say about art, and women, and cleanliness, that some random lady saw an unmade bed in an art museum, and decided it needed to be made up.

"Hey, speaking of racism, have I ever told you the story about how my grandpa lynched a guy? Haha, good times, good times."

Honestly, I think we deserve an apology that all men aren't Idris Elba.

Also, as an adoptee, adoption can come with a lot of baggage and isn't right for everyone.

I love Yuna the most, and I want the gold for Mao in a next-best kind of scenario, but I'm worried about the influence of home ice and Russia's excellent handle on figure skating politics.

As a former college jeopardy contestant, :((((((((((

But why is there no white history college jeopardy! category? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Exactly. Also, it feels like it's based on an old episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

I have a bet with my fiance on which of the US ladies (all with long blonde hair) will have the Frozen themed free skate next season. Whoever it is should commission the costume from this girl: http://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/els… (My money is on Gracie Gold)

Unless, god forbid, the tie-dye party isn't real either.

I'm pretty sure you can't get into heaven unless you send people mean, judgmental notes.

No, you're totally the prettier one.

Yes! (I'm not sure I spent much time in an orphanage)...but I missed you so much, twin!

Honestly, I'm not really in the right place for that. Without a twin sister to message over facebook, all roads lead back through my biological parents, whose last involvement in my life, as far as I know, was to agree to never see me again. So.... that's a little complicated for me, emotionally.
