Max Aaron: 45.49 TES + 33.64 PCS = 79.13
- They started the wrong music for him so he took a few seconds to reset while they found the correct music
- Really big quad salchow + triple toe--so much ice coverage he almost hit the boards with his free leg at the end of the second jump
- Big triple lutz with tons of height and flow
- Nice camel spin into a decent camel
- Big triple axel in the bonus, slightly forward on the landing but hangs on
- He could be a bit faster in some of his sit spin positions
- Starting to relax a bit in the step sequence, the crowd is really liking the choreography
- Good speed in the final combo spin but getting a bit wild and losing his edge on one of the changes of position--might cost him a Level but overall very solid
- Huge, gorgeous triple axel
- Triple lutz very forward on the landing but manages to get the triple toe out
- Good speed in the camel spin with a good catchfoot position
- Difficult lunge into a triple flip
- Good speed and flow through the sit spin
- Nice camel position, decent A frame, good sit spin and nice upright spin
- What I love about him is that he has the difficult jumps but is also a very expressive, lyrical skater and can get the PCS marks as well as evidenced by this nice step sequence
- A little down on the left side but otherwise a nice quad toe
- Two footed and a hand down on the triple axel
- Gorgeous sit spin position
- Triple lutz + triple toe big and he fought for both landings
- I really love the expressiveness of this free skate and seeing him let go and almost skate with a bit of abandon; the musicality and the edges are nice as well
- Great camel position into a decent catchfoot maintaining speed
- Good speed through the combination spin but a little wild on the flying change of foot
- Two footed and falls on the triple axel; under-rotated as well
- Big triple lutz + triple toe
- Great flying entry to the camel spin with a great catchfoot position picking up speed
- Stepping right into a nice sit spin

- Lots of unique elements in his step sequence, good ice coverage and musicality
- Really nice twisted camel spin and great speed throughout the change of foot combo spin
- Fall on his opening triple axel but it seemed to be rotated
- Triple lutz + triple toe and he ekes out the free leg
- Nice triple flip
- Really nice illusion spins and good speed throughout the combo spin
- Really good camel position but a little wild on the change of foot and losing speed through the position change
- Nice ease and flow to the step sequence with a good variety of steps, use of his whole body, and good timing with the music
- Nice outside spread eagle into a sit spin, but he could be a tad bit lower in his position
Harrison Choate: 27.52 TES + 30.14 PCS = 57.66 and into 6th place
- Triple lutz turn out + double toe--that's going to really hurt him points wise
- Triple flip barely holds on to the landing
- Camel spin a little slow
- Spread eagle and a big hike into the double axel
- Super fun start to his step sequence and he's really turning on the personality
- He's made a few mistakes here but he has a habit of rebounding in the free skate and he's looking for a score higher than Shotaro Omori's set in the junior men's event if he wants to go to Junior Worlds
- Nice toe point in the triple axel and good height--odd landing where he kind of bounced and looked like he was going to fall but managed to land back on his feet
- Triple loop
- Wild on the flying change of foot camel spin and it almost gets away from him
- Triple lutz + double toe with both arms up and no flow out
- I don't feel his connection to the audience in this step sequence and he has a couple of bobbles
- This just seems to be an off day for him and he's making lots of little mistakes that are really going to add up
- Nice headless scratch spin to end his short program
- Really nice triple lutz + triple toe
- Gorgeous spread eagle into a double axel
- Nice stretch through his sit spin but losing speed through the tuck position

- Nice broken leg camel spin but might have ended slightly after his music
- Partial standing ovation
- Good triple lutz
- Step out on the triple flip but adds a double toe
- Decent positions in his combo spin but a little slow
- Good double axel
- I feel like he's holding back on this step sequence and could be a little less cautious and really go for it; he also could do more with his arms to finish off the movement
- Decent camel spin into a catchfoot but slow throughout
- Triple flip + triple toe good
- Really big triple axel
- A little off on the triple lutz and has to step out and put a hand down
- He never quite gets centered on the camel spin
- Good choreography in his step sequence but I feel like he could give it a bit more to really give it the suave factor the music calls for
Armin Mahbanoozadeh: 30.84 TES + 33.01 PCS -1.00 = 62.85 and into 8th place
- Fall on the opening quad toe
- Nice triple axel right on the music--really fights for the landing though and hangs on to it
- Good camel spin position and speed with a nice catchfoot
- Triple lutz + triple toe, really tight and scratchy and falls out
- Losing speed in the sit spin
- He has some really nice choreographic elements in the step sequence but I think the jump errors have sapped his performance and he's not skating this to the best of his ability

- Good speed in the camel to start off his final combo spin
- Triple axel was huge, turned out of it but kept his free leg up
- Hard fall on the quad toe
- Neat spread eagle, kick jump into a sit spin with a nice low position
- Tons of energy in this step sequence with lots of edges and personality
- Good camel position but losing speed through the catchfoot
- Triple lutz + triple toe--in the bonus and not sure how he held on to those landings but he did
- Good speed on the final spin and finished just a hair after his music

- Triple loop a little off in the air and held onto the landing even though he turned out of it
- Nice triple toe + triple toe
- Nice camel spin position and picking up speed through the catchfoot

- Quad toe and barely hangs on
- Triple axel step out
- Nice camel spin position and good change of foot with a good catch foot
- Triple lutz + double toe--can't quite get the 3rd rotation and no flow out

- Nice a frame into a broken leg sit spin and ending with a scratch spin
- Triple flip + triple toe nicely done
- I really love this program for Jeremy and think it really contrasts well with his lyrical free skate
- Nice triple lutz
- Nice sit spin position with a great toe point and nice flow out of the spin
- Hit the triple axel
- Now that the jumps are landed he's in his element and there is so much interesting choreography in this step sequence and Benji Schwimmer really did a great job bringing this character to life for Jeremy
