Metsu. Matisse does nothing for me.

Matisse is something else.

They're both something, but I'll go with Matisse.
Metsu.
Susan votes for Matisse.
I feel a little funny about this, but I'm going to go with Metsu here.
Metsu all day!
Wow, that one went down to the wire! Metsu hung tough with Matisse, but came up one vote short: seven, to Matisse's eight. Matisse advances, but Metsu stays alive on the Left side, where he'll take on the winner of the Marc/Manet bout.
