Dont forget to award your extra 13 points when voting

Great show everyone...Good Luck!!

Just voted, good luck everyone

I voted. My votes aren't strategically viable since I disagreed with the scoreboard quite a lot (not just my own score), so I don't expect them to do me any favours, but eh, at least I didn't just parrot the judges. GL

Thats exactly how I vote in online games too, still............thats the point of opening the vote and letting people have their own say otherwise itd be pointless

Its not unusual for a shocking result as we've seen tons of times on DS. Thats what makes it more interesting

Tonight should be quite a tough one, apart from the odd few most people are pretty even

Its like u look at say.......Josh and Topaz............. by glancing at the leaderboard they look miles apart..............but they're not all that much different, theres only 2 points separating them.

I always find voting hard when people are so close (In other online games I mean Im not allowed to vote in this one)
