Ahhhh! Jamie Foxx is so behind now! I think he deserves at least a closer loss if not the sweet victory! The reason why I gave him that name may become more apparent to you in this shot:
He's about to say "vote for me please!"

This is just too exciting! I think its time to drop by Medusa to see if Jamie Foxx is still there.

Thank you! I really have no idea, it was the first time that I met him when the photo was taken. From the looks of it I'd say they didn't.....

Everyone does realize the point of a tie breaker is to not have a tie anymore?
I feel like everyone is balancing out the score just for the suspense lol
