Nope. The hype is all about his personality & flamboyance, not necessarily his talent. IMO he's very good, but not gold-medal talented. Although, he skated very welll in the short program, so you never know - if the top guys f*ck up badly, I guess he could have a shot at bronze.

the 2 american male figure skaters are fighting off the rink over a women's skater~ i guess she was dating one of the guys, but staying w/ the other~ such drama behind the scenes  ~ |
Shaun is awesome. I can't help but like him, always smiling. One of the few ginger kids that I like.
Heartbreaking about Lindsey Jacobellis. I saw her go off course. So sad for her.
And nobody is fighting over Tanith Belbin.
Weir is staying with her & redecorated her place with Audrey Hepburn posters. Somehow I don't think her partner or boyfriend have anything to worry about.
