Rudy, as a skater you know the pressure it takes to perform not only in a show, or a competition, but on national tv; it made me SICK to watch you LAUGH during one of the performances. To judge any sport or person in this manner is not constructive- it is crude and inhuman. I am so disappointed in you. I have always admired you for your talent,personality, and individuality. This is not the DRAMA you need to create to make this reality show a hit. Judges should be honest not pompous, holier-than-thou b##ches! I know I won't be watching the show anymore and you have lost my respect. I can't imagine that anyone would want to be the "Star Skater" of this show.
