Ugh ... why is Caroline there? I don't want to be rude, but she was 12th at Nationals this year. WHY??

I would assume it would be because she has a Grand Prix assignment

She has a Grand Prix Assignment at Skate America and therefore qualifies for Champs Camp

Why is Ashley Wagner blond? Yuck, go back to brunette please...

I see Rachael hasn't let her sassy soccer/PTA mom hairdo grow out any...*sigh* I guess we're looking at another season of this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/lakersgirl712/rachaeljpf-1.jpg).

I think both Ashley and Rachael look great. :shuffle:

Caroline is there because she has a GP assignment.

Lynn Rutherford tweeted about Tom Z saying Brandon Mroz had been landing 4F and 4Lo in practice. :eek:

Yeah, he still hasn't figured out/learned that he should shut his mouth. :rolleyes:

His tweets are always hilarious! :D You know I think Alex had a growth spurt this summer. He looks slightly more filled out- more like a young man and less like a boy.

Looking forward to everyone's new programs this year.

He's a funny guy, all right. :)

You scared me with that! I thought she'd gone platinum or something. :yikes: It doesn't look so bad. Just a few shades lighter, as far as I can tell.

She's a Cali girl now - gotta be blonde. :cool: I think she looks great.

Caroline is there because she has a GP assignment.

I realize that ... but I guess the bigger question is why does she have a GP assignment? Give some of the other up-and-coming skaters the chance. *sigh*

[Jenna]

Well, that's a different question. ;)

I understand your concerns..
