  4. Nichim: yeah, I actually held him back a bit because he was getting overexposed by all the tiebreaking.

    I'm going to ignore that first obnoxious Caravaggio, and vote Caravaggio.

  6. I'm really glad Dali existed, but Caravaggio's facial expressions stun me every time I look at them. Caravaggio, per piacere.

  7. Zowie! It's a real slugfest, but when you only count one Caravaggio vote for Candida and one Dali vote for Dali enthusiast pfly, it's Caravaggio by 8 votes to 6. Caravaggio's going to the semis! Caravaggio's going to the semis!
