I don't agree with your assessment of Showcase. You couldn't have surveyed
1500 people as there weren't that many in attendance. Everyone I spoke with
felt that Ronnie and Loreen's first-place win was well deserved. Angel and
Debbie did a remarkable job of showing us what clean smooth WCS is all
about. They rightfully deserved 2nd. I thought Parker and Jessica did a
great job. I had them in 3rd. 

As for Yuval and Natelie, apparently you missed the timing error that forced
Natelie to correct herself in midair. Granted she did a remarkable job
correcting, but why did she have to correct? The judges saw it because
they're trained to catch the subtle little mistakes that separate these top
level performances. Most in the audience, surely you, don't comprehend these
subtle errors. 

As to names, if you're going to openly criticize others, please have the
courtesy to sign your posts.
