Good.
It's just that there was a TON of people here last night for the ladies team, and doesn't seem like many tonight. Feels weird.

These announcers are basically guaranteeing he'll win. "Here comes the decent to the top."

I have no idea. The announcers have never fully explained the scoring system. They're too busy praising the Chinese.

Would it be that hard for NBC to have a running total to show the standings in real time? It's not rocket science, as each guy goes take his score and add it up, and show the current order.

I don't think there's technically a "perfect score". How it works is, before you begin your routine, you start off with a certain number for degree of difficulty. Tougher the routine, higher that number. No matter what you do, that number does not change. There's no limit to that starting score, so technically no perfect score.
Then the second thing that factors in is "execution". That starts out at 10 automatically. For each mistake you make, the judges take off from that score. So for your final score they take the "difficulty" score and add it to the execution score.
A score of 17 is absolutely outstanding, though.

I wish it would've been the Chinese guy, instead of the Japanese guy.

As they show the replay, "This is a mistake." Really? Thanks for telling us.
