I agree about Bross, mentally. I think she's disgruntled and tired and, as you say, talent can only get you so far if you just don't have the competitive mentality.

Chellsie is one who saddens me. I'm still sad she couldn't go in 2004 and nail it then, because that was probably her best bet for an Olympic medal beyond the team one she got in 2008.

Considering there are only 5 on the team this time around, it's really risky to take someone who doesn't even attempt an event. Yes, you need event specialists (like Maroney), but everyone needs to be able to pick up the slack, if necessary. That's why Alicia and Nastia are weak options (I believe Sloan competed everything, but she's not much of a safe bet, either. This is her first time competing in, like, 3 years).

If someone needs to watch her back, IMO, it's Aly. With Gabby and Jordyn as likely AAs (I've been thinking that, too) and Aly so weak on bars (not that Jordyn is good at bars AT ALL, but Jordyn's Jordyn), she's the one who should be sweating a little.

ETA: KSU, you think she'll go Finnegan over Ross?
