We need some commentary....

"The two leaders are neck and neck, with several forming a pack directly at their heals, as they move around the track...."

Where can I place my bets?

I just voted. It was really hard to choose only one! Good luck to all of you!

[MrRoland]

I did expect there to be more votes by this time. That being said, it was extremely hard to pick a favorite out of this group. Good luck to all of you on keeping your sanity. I would have bitten my fingernails down to the first knuckle by now.

The 125 eligible is only a rough estimate. That number could go up as the week goes on, as it's based off of a minimum post count, then the forum automatically promotes you to a new usergroup when you reach that level. I'm not going to say what the count is, but it'll be pretty obvious if people are spamming posts just to up their count.

Great plot twist for this saga. I am enjoying the drama. :-)

Hi Dan,

I’m just wondering if that estimate includes the initial 110 contest participants, or is it just the number of non-junior members.

Awesome idea!

It would be nice for the finalists if all 125 eligible voters cast a ballot asap. It would likely save some nerves and stomach linings.

Yep. Welcome to hell week. :P

It's a tight race so far! Someone is going to win by a severed tongue for sure.

All the stories are very good and it was a very hard decision but I finally narrowed it down to 3 choices. The only problem, I liked the 3 stories equally but I can only chose one and I lost my 3 sided coin last week so what do I do. Eenie meenie minie mo. No. One potato, two potato. No.
Then I had it.

My mother and your mother were washing clothes,
My mother punched your mother right in the nose.
What color was her blood?

Found this a fitting way to choose.

well actually I read the 3 stories one more time and finally picked one.

Good luck to all the finalists

I'd be happy to, Draven. Flattered that you asked.
