The Rules

1. Put the name of your choice for this week's bootees in the subject heading.

This is really easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: Tar 17 Fans ..." and replace with your vote, i.e. "Nat & Kat." This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately.

Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they're really obvious, so please save the nicknames for inside your post and only use their proper names in the subject header.

2. Non elimination episodes.

If you feel there will be a Non-Elimination Leg (NEL) put down "Non-Elimination (or NEL) -- Team name" in the subject header to tell us who you think will finish last. If you feel there will be a continuation of this leg (Superleg) put down "Superleg" in the subject header.

3. Reply only to this post.

We like a nice straight vote thread around here.

4. Vote changes.

However, if it just so happens that you want to change your vote for whatever reason, reply to your own vote post! Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Brook & Claire."

5. Have fun!

Then we take Berlin.

Go the @#$% away!!!!

I hope your relationship lasts -- though I doubt it. Anyway, I see a U-Turn in your future and since there are two U-Turns in this leg, I doubt it'll be a NEL.

First to worst

Three teams left I like, two I don't, please let one of the ones I don't like be gone soon.

Chad and Stephanie are likely to be first to the U TURN, so I don't think they will be able to be U-Turned. Most likely they will be U-Turning Jill and Thomas. I think they are strong enough however to avoid a last place finish. That leaves another team to arrive and U-Turn another team. I think that NIck and Vicki are the most likely to suffer this fate as a pretty scrappy team and perhaps not as well liked as the others.

So, Nick and Vick will be last, but it's a NEL...

And there probably won't be another NEL this soon. So they go home.

I think they'll suffer from the U-Turn curse.

Capn2patch put me in motion!
