Vieira da Silva!
I appreciate Tissot's dresses, but I'm going with da Silva.
I like both. My vote goes to James Tissot.
Tissot
De Silva has his moments, but Tissot has him beat. Tissot!
Mariah is going with Vieira da Silva (who I believe identified as female) on Facebook.
Nora and I split, with her going Tissot and me going Vierira de Silva. Nora, "I like that Tis blah blah blah is more realistic."
Susan votes-by-mail for Vieira da Silva.
It's weird not to vote for Tissot until the Third Round, but I'm starting to find Vieira da Silva a bit thin. Plus the woman making eye contact with us on the top Tissot cracks me up. "Goddamn men, spending the whole freaking vacation digging through their Baedicker's when we could just ask this kid for directions, amIright?"
da Silva
As I was scrolling, I was thinking, hey, this da Silva has some lines I could get behind if their opponent isn't all that hot--but then I saw Tissot and am now grabbing on with both hands, with apologies for the mixed metaphor.

Tissot
And we have, it seems, tied it up, with seven votes apiece for Portugal and France. That will send Vieira da Silva up against much-tied Raeburn for a tiebreaker, and bring his latest non-victim, Zorn, down here to resolve things against Tissot. And YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT!!!
