    Riopelle is kind of fun, while van Ostade is most demonstrably not. It's the new year! I'll go with fun.

    This is not the most promising of matches in my humble opinion. I was thinking Ostade, but Chuck's careful reasoning changed my mind. Riopelle it is.

    I quite like Riopelle, I find.

    Susan voted for von Ostade a while back, but I've been lazy.

    Van Ostade ends up on top by a single vote in this slugfest! He'll take on Jan Steen in Round 2. Thanks for voting!
