Okay, I've watched my tape of last night's show, and I agree with TeKay: if you count Mikalah out of this, the remaining ten are -- as a whole -- the strongest group we've ever had. About the only ones I'm comfortable with predicting will not go all the way are Mikalah and Scott; there are several extreme longshots among the rest, but no clear deadweight. (Granted, Bo should beat Constantine, but an upset is not inconceivable... and if the former weren't in the competition, the latter would actually be looking pretty decent.)
Anyway. There's no question that Mikalah should go this week. No question at all. But I'm going to stick to my guns and suppose that we're not going to get that lucky, because... well, just because. Especially after finding out that a certain friend of sockgirlie's actually voted repeatedly for John Stevens last season just to continue everybody's torment.
Whom I'm voting for, barring some unexpected reason not to in tonight's show: Vonzell. Simon was exactly right in that she wasn't even on my radar before... but I thought her performance was definitely the night's best.
Other random observations: I wish Simon hadn't pinned a giant target onto Carrie. And Paula was so totally flying without wings. Pain pills, perhaps...
Anyway, I'll have my predictions in the relevant entry shortly. And, incidentally, in the unlikely event that anything happens tonight that you think might skew the voting, feel free to submit a modified entry before tomorrow night's show.
