I agree, the figure skating drags on FOREVER.... - Subversive Feb 18, 10:37
Really...they should keep a camera on the judges so you know exactly how much money is changing hands. - Will Hunting Feb 18, 10:37 4
- I do feel that each judges scoring should be individually posted so it can be analyzed -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 10:41 2
  - I don't think the viewers really need to see it, and I'll bet actual officials *do* have access to them. - mara Feb 18, 10:43 1
    - posted so that those who want to know could find it - I said nothing about broadcasters talking about it - crash davis Feb 18, 10:46
- Yeah, I know it brings the ratings. I am just bummed out at the taste of the viewers. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:38
