  3. Picasso. (I just voted in my first presidential election and, yeah, let's just say i'm hankering for my vote to count.)

  5. The second Pisanello is pretty good, but Picasso gets the vote for his astounding versatility.

  6. Picasso takes the win, with seven votes against three! He improves to 3-1, while Pisanello takes his bow with a record of 3-2. Picasso will need to win through in Third Round Elimination in order to beat Pisanello's final record.
