Funny this topic comes up: I rewatched 2004 Scam a week ago. The lack of artistry and choreography among those U.S. WAG (sans McCool, who had her own issues) was stunning, especially with 2020ne eyes.
Patterson is a low-wattage OGM, though I don’t find her offensive. She had more charisma off the floor than on, but her work was generally clean, she showed confidence and mastery of her skills, and of course the beam dismount was a highlight. AFAIK she is still the only gymnast to compete a RO-BHS prior to the Patterson.
As for the other events, the prelims DTY was a one-off, bars was fine for not being a bar worker, and floor had nice acro with dance that was bargain basement. Her lightness on beam was my favorite quality of hers, and stood out even with a relatively bare bones interior. You barely heard a sound.
