I do believe he's hitting on you Judi! ;p

Nah...the Bear would never hit me...he is too cuddly for that...hehehehe!!

Here is the text from a PM sent to KIWINESS from PEDRO that I intercepted using my computer skills.

And I quote:
"
Pedro: Do you think people will vote for me?
Kiwiness: Heck yes! I'd vote for you.
Pedro: Like what are my skills?
Kiwiness: Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.
"
And I stop quoting.

Looks like I'm already in Pedro's head...he's worried...and the Challenge hasn't even been announced.

Seriously, you better hope it's not a self-portrait Challenge...we actually look like we could be brothers (really), if it weren't for the fact that you are so small.

ZING!!

YEAH!!

Hm. Double crossed by two DPC Legends.
This reeks of collusion...Heck, I'll just knock you both out of the Competition. One at a time...KiwiNess, your next.

Don't let my portfolio fool you into overconfidence, my bald friend...I have thousands of images that are priceless fine art works that aren't here. I'll give you one chance to retract your "Bring it on" statement.

But I'm done with you for now...I got my sights set on little Pedro.

Look at you, LOOK AT YOU!
I'm on to your little game, mister...trying to garner sympathetic support from the DPC community.

Oh I can see through your scheme...oh yes, I know what you're doing - and it won't work.

The skillz of age, my son, the skillz of age... It's easy to flirt when you're 60 years old (or near enough as makes no difference) and none of the objects of your flirtation take you seriously. License to flirt and a golden tongue; what can I say...?

Meet the Contestants:

KELOWNA DIVISION

ursula: Headlining the Kelowna Division is Ursula who has managed to collect 16 ribbons and 14 more Top 10s while handicapping herself with a Nikon. A master of all genres, her 10 highest rated photos include examples of landscape, portraiture, candid, and studio prop shot. This means she will be bringing her A-game each and every week no matter what theme is selected.

RANDOD300: Having been registered just over two years, Randy has earned himself 2 ribbons and 2 more Top 10 finishes. His style strongly favors animal shots and other natural subjects. Will this give him trouble if the wrong theme is selected? Time will only tell.

spydr: Eric has also just passed two years on DPC and has likewise earned two ribbons and 2 Top 10 finishes. He appears to enjoy macro work with insects (always a DPC plus) and landscape. Will this self-confessed addict to the update button have what it takes to advance?

Brent Ward: Mr. Selective. Brent has been a member for nearly 3 years but has entered only 2 challenges. This has allowed him a gaudy average vote received of 7.21 which likely ranks him in the Top 3 all time on DPC. Brent has also earned himself a blue ribbon. While his challenge entries have both been rugged landscape, his portfolio shows other skills in portraiture, prop shots, and animal photography. With Brent possibly tripling his entered challenges while participating in the League of Death, the question is whether he will be able to handle the pressure of week in, week out challenges?

First Round matchups:

ursula vs. RANDOD300

and

spydr vs. Brent Ward
