Nice to have a scenario and a performer where all the inside information, bent judges and incessant NBC jingoism aren’t required. Oh, and no unpaid PR shilling by Christine Brennan (usually involving Michelle Kwan) required.
Kim was different class last night.
The pimping for Michelle Kwan always used to disgust me, especially after her pouty performance when Tara Lipinski creamed her.
The pimping was regularly of "The sun has finally come out ! There it is shining from Michelle Kwan's posterior !" level of gushing sycophancy.
In fact she was NOT as good as her competitors. Fortunately the judges didn't fall for it.
