  7. Leighton, with a happy nod to the pasting he takes in the fine novel The Last Samurai.

  8. Lord Leighton gets the win! Lord Leighton gets the win! His eleven to three victory here gives him a 1-0-3 record and has to make you wonder how he'll fare in subsequent rounds. We'll find out next weekend!
