1. Shoma Uno
The adorable Shoma is now the King of Quad Flip. It is hard to believe how much he has grown from last season to today interns of both the jumps and his presentation, the impact from Worlds in Boston must have changed him a lot.
The SP this season is almost a warhorse. The choreography is to be enriched further, but there are still some good moments in the program. The 3A right on the music and the step sequence are lovely.
His FS is starting to grow on me. He is giving more and more to the program. The second half is brilliant, though it would be even lovelier to see more steps and choreography when the music reaches the climax. But if was nevertheless a brilliant program.
2. Jason Brown
Jason is one of the most elegant male skaters, due to his flexibility he can do awe-inspiring spirals and spins that just capture your heart. His FS this season is an absolutely gorgeous masterpiece. Though the music remains calm, but you never feel bored, because of his excellent emotion and presentation. I was so blown away by his grace and serenity in his FS, no wonder the door lady was in tears. With his new quad toe, he is souring himself a place on the podium. I wish to see him on there again this season.

I love his sass in his SP, and the costume, and everything is absolutely #gaypride. Needless to say he sold the program well. Besides that, I just want to say I am SO grateful that he changed his FS. The music is better, the choreography is better, and his connection with the music is also better. It is a smart choice to make. With his new quad toe (again) this season, he might have a bigger chance on defending his national title. We'll see how his biggest fellow opponents do.
4. Sergei Voronov
Well believe it or not, I always have a kind of feeling on Sergei. Of course he takes a long time to set for big jumps and his choreograph is sometimes so weird. but I just feel something and I don't know why. I am so happy that he is still skating and gave a really good program, which is his FS. You can feel the connection between him and the music, and he undoubtedly expressed very well. I feel like a more sustained and deep music suits him better than those funky weirdo rock piece. I hope he can fight for the podium at Nationals. He certainly has the potential for it.

I have never expected the long-awaited "Spiderman" SP would be one of my favourite this season. Okay, aside from the nerdiness, his skating really has improved A LOT. He skates faster with deeper edges, and he also performs better. The choreography is just insanely fantastic, with a lot of web-shootings and that shimmy, O M F G.
I am still not yet interested in his La Strada, the choreography seems a little junior-ish to me. I hope they would amend it a little. But again his improvement is evident in both of his programs. This might not be his best technical day, but surely there will be one soon.
