05/29/2006 12:16:22 AM · #1

We've determined the final four! Excellent results with two ribbons among the final 8 in the league.

Anastasia 6.344 over Shanksware 6.138 (close one!)
DrAchoo 6.035 over Marbo N/A
Qart 7.525 (and the blue!) over Ltsimring 5.556
Jenesis 7.230 (and the yellow!) over Ecce Signum 6.729

The final four pit Anastasia against me and Qart against Jenesis. We're down to heavy hitters!

Let the predictions begin.

I certainly feel better now after losing in the first week so narrowly cause there would be no way I could have beaten Jenesis this week so I now know it was apparently NOT my destiny to win this thing :) Am going to try again in season 3 though if youÂ´ll have me Jason. Good luck to the four of you, I am going to put my money on Qart since he is the one whoÂ´s work I know the least of and I always like rooting for the "underdog".

Whaddoyamean? You would have beaten him in all 3 challenges so far, DPC Cinema, Environmental Portait and also this week in Heat. Or is this your way to tell Jason that your Architecture entry sucks? Will be fun to see two Mag 7 members battle it out :)

Just because I put my money on Qart doesnÂ´t mean I am rooting for him, ofcourse I am rooting for my teammates, I just donÂ´t have faith in you, hehe :)

Thanks Larus for the vote of confidence. It's been a fun ride so far and I want to especially shout a praise out to my new opponent Jenesis who really brought her A game to the heat challenge and showed her amazing talent. It'll be interesting to see how we do against each other in the Architecture challenge as this is a subject I rarely shoot and find myself a little like a duck out of water. Gave it my best shot though but if I have to make a prediction, I'm going to have to go with Jenesis to move on to the finals and in fact win the whole thing. Can think of no one more worthy... :)
And Jason... great job once again.

Well, I doubt I'm moving on to the finals, which is ok, because I've felt like a fraud this season. I had so many shots which were mediocre but managed to win due to opponents not entering or such.

You had best beat me this week Anastasia. I guess I'm a sucker for a pretty face.

I'm still on cloud nine! Finally, the elusive ribbon. :-) Sadly, I don't have high hopes for Architecture. I didn't get to take the shots that I really wanted to and had to settle for what I could get. So, I guess it sounds like it's anybodys game. :) This should be an interesting week.

Don't feel guilty about that...it happens all the time. Look at the Edmonton Oilers: that's proof that being mediocre at the right time can carry you a long way ;)

I`m really sorry i didn`t enter a shot. Pedro was thrashing in me in our shoot-out and it didn`t cross my mind he may not be able to get a photo in and forfeit to me.

that was my bad, and I deserve some lashes with a wet noodle - humblest apologies. I tried to get a message to you from my vacation, but the hotels servers were toast and the webTV was so slow i wanted to poke my eyes out with a fork just to occupy myself.

Well we're well into it now and I just passed the hundred vote mark... How you feeling Jenesis? You still out there, somewhere, lurking?
So just to be the first to offer up a sign of good will... :)
I'm playing under my average but not by a mile. So in the end it's not going to be great but perhaps not as bad as initially thought... :)

No worries, i should have entered a shot just in case. I was well beaten so didn`t really deserve to go on anyway.

So Jenesis... if you're still out there... :)
Exactly the same place today as I was on monday. So the countdown begins.

Hmmmm, I'm up a little bit from then.... Seems like we have a race. :)
