She most definetly did two 3-turns. One turn from the backwards landing of the 3F turning to forwards and another to get from forward to backward again to get into the 3L.
She did two - RBO3 on the landing to RFI edge, then RFI3 to return to the RBO edge for the loop. One three turn is only 1/2 a rotation.
It definitely seems clear to me that the judges at SC are trying to ensure Osmond has no one in the way preventing her from winning this one. Osmond skated with no pressure seemingly, but it certainly helps when the judges keep scores of others relatively low. With the way most of the competitors were being scored, the judges relented and were more generous with Pogo and especially Sotskova, but it's surprising that Pogo didn't get scores at least in the low 70s for that skate. 
Marissa's dress is absolutely the secret to the success of that program.
Oh I forgot about the hair. This is not a good look for her. Those fabulous features pop so much better with her regular color. The thing that bothered me the most about her hair was that the hair in the pony tail looked like it had been fried. It was brittle and messy looking.
Yea very fried. Hopefully it can be saved.
What the heck are they looking at? Sotskova should score well on skating skills but her choreo and interpretation are not the best -- average at best, as she's rather bland and boring, albeit intense and determined with her delivery and expressions.
^^ Hmmm, it looked like Ashley made the rotations and I was listening to Eurosport guys who also thought she made the rotations. But yeah the judges are always nitpicky and hard on those who've had a rep for under-rotating. When it's close, the judges refuse to give skaters with UR reps the benefit of the doubt, particularly Ashley W and Mirai. I didn't see the slo-mo. Fair enough, as Ashley wasn't quite as sparkling with this recycled program as she can be.
OTOH, quite clearly the judges weren't so skimpy with Sotskova who clearly under-rotated her 2-axel. I see the judges took off on the 2-axel, but they were not harsh. And Sotskova is over-rated on PCS.
Looking at the protocols, the Canadian, Australian and Russian judges were overly harsh on Courtney's PCS, especially the Australian judge. The competing political interests' impact on the scoring is so obvious. Interestingly, Canadian and U.S. judges also seem to have blinders on re Sotskova on PCS! The Russian judge's scores for Sotskova on PCS matched the U.S. judge's marks, with the Canadian judge scoring Sotskova even higher in several categories.
Under COP, that's not supposed to happen.

Obviously, it happens all the time in figure skating, regardless of the scoring system. The judges can follow the rules as the messy system allows and still reserve scores and manipulate PCS as they always do. Of course, the top-rated skaters have to perform or the reserving of scores doesn't always work. But Pogo and Osmond performed. In fact both were quite brilliant, Osmond moreso than Pogo, but the point spread is still laughable. 
She did do a small local comp, but I agree that she might have benefited from a challenger series comp, but only if she was ready.
It's more believing in herself and putting it out there confidently that counts.
I was happy at least that she was able to tack on a double toe to the loop, even though I'm not a fan of the tano, or the SP itself. I'm looking forward to seeing her new free. She seems like she's been having a lot of issues with the second lutz in her free recently, I'm curious to see how she'll do. Historically, she has seemed to do pretty well in the LP on the grand prix, though obviously expectations are a bit higher for her now after being 4th in the world.
