He landed a nice one in his SP at 4CC, and then another one, in combination, in his FS at 4CC as well. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsmYLGijC_Y (SP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBqT4DgqkEI (FS)
Also, Dornbush's score at Finlandia was higher than Miner's at NHK, and their results at the other two internationals each attended in the fall were pretty comparable - not bad but not great. Dornbush also had the flu at Nationals which definitely didn't help matters. With clean skates I think he could have maybe placed 6th at Worlds.
A bunch of naive fans who think he is actually going to show (snickers) will buy tickets, and thus boost ticket sales.
How do you know he's in need financially?

As for Abbott being finished? I don't know that any of us has that crystal ball to determine he's done. I still think Jeremy has some great skating left in him and when he's "on" he's fabulous. Just wish he could skate with his skates instead of his head.
Evan won't be pulling out this time. He needs the Olympics financially and he knows that he needs to compete before Nationals to make sure the programs are comfortable enough.
I don't think so.
According to this site, Lysacek is worth US$ 10,000,000.

I don't believe it. More conservative estimates say he made about a million from his Olympic gold medal, another million from Dancing with the Stars, and maybe another million for other stuff like touring with SOI, along with endorsements and public appearances.
I'd be pretty made if Miner or Aaron were left off the team thanks to inflated PCS from Abbott/Lysacek, when they're so much more capable (even if they aren't as big a name).
Evan got about 350,000 for his DWTS stint.
Hey, CSG, a miracle has happened.
We agree on something!
If any US man doesn't need financial help, it's Lysacek. Did you forget he's the reigning Olympic gold medalist? And he has immense popularity with the American audiences, particularly after placing 2nd on Dancing with the Stars.
