ReplyDeleteDe Heem for me. I don't think Matisse would have lambasted Matta, it's my understanding he was very polite.

ReplyDeleteSusan votes for de Heem.
ReplyDeleteY'know, I'm surprising myself by digging Matta's playful sensibilities. I'd like to see him stick around some more.
ReplyDeleteAnother rip-snorter that came down to the last vote, this one will see Matta advance by an 8-6 margin. De Heem leaves the Tournament with a 1-2-1 record.
