Yikes! Edelstein in my first match! I'm sure NEA is not pleased either.

No NEA is not...again, higher seed but given a more difficult draw. Fair play to dav this time: Yodavitch, really tough. But PSALT!!!!!! What on earth is THAT?! Jbors and Tricatrina! Please can be ranked 4th or 5th or whatever he is! I get Edelstein, Agassi and Jennacourt! Ludicrous...

Obviously Yodavitch is a favorite to get through his quarter, but if you remember he has a terrible record against Phobe especially in slams. I just remember "Yodavitch upset by Phobe" many times before.

You are very worthy but I think it would take a trainwreck to stop Yodavitch from getting to the Final; only Edelstein could possibly do it - in some kind of pathetic fairytale story - I think!

Hey percy, I definitely would be online if I could, but after school I had to watch a basketball game, then play one, then come home and have dinner, then have music practice, then come on at 10:35!
Sorry. Those brits should be able to though
Congrats NEA, yeah that was a good match.
And PSALT, way to fight!
Oh, and PSALT in your preview you said Agassi loved yoda, but its me that always says I love that dude, he's the coolest personality percy made. get it right!
vanessa/yoda is a great rivalry, but we need a more "out there" person to make it really great. its like Justine-Amelie, lame.

LMAO!!!! 65-35? I was number 1 ALL of season 1
ALL of season 2
Season three you were in front for about 10-15 days (game-wise) alltogether, it kept chopping and changing if you remember.
I have been in front near enough ALL of season 4.
Hmmm...65-35, yet another gross exaggeration - nowhere near.
You might be right on the changing though!
