Easy?  I think most of them are coin tosses as to who will win!

I forgot to do the last grand prix...oops.

It's a lot easier to choose when (a) there are fewer choices; and (b) you know the names of the competitors.  For me, the tossups were between the ice dancers in pool A and the men's pool A.

Everyone else, I'm pretty comfortable with my choices.  Moreso since I looked at the "expert's picks" and saw that she didn't agree with my picks.  Last time I changed my picks to match hers, I tanked in the rankings, so I'm on my own.

Alissa - voted with my heart, not my head.  *chuckles*

I think she has a really good chance.  But the other two ladies in that group have had good seasons too!

It is going to be a great competition, for sure!

Asada withdrew - update your picks if you had her.

I completely missed the picks for Europeans.  The competition started before US Nats, but the pick list was available after US Nats, so I assumed there was no pick list for Europeans.  Plus, my picks for Men's in Nats didn't pan out the way I planned, so adios ranking, lol!  (Skittl, you're ahead of me!)

Oh well, Four Continents is open for your picks.  They have the strangest-looking pools, though.  1 or 2 in A, 2 to 4 in B and 16 in C!  It was difficult to choose. (Although, you can't go wrong with Javier Fernandez.  ;-) )
