NOw, while I have voted for Tara the last 2 rounds and I still enjoy her skating the least of all the skaters left, there's something very wrong with Meltdown Queen Carolina Kostner surviving for half of this game.

She NEEDS to go now!! Bye Carolina.

[attyfan]

I voted Shizuka for reasons already stated. I don't know if Kostner's recent success is a fluke, or if she is a late bloomer with more success to come.

Frankly it's beyond me how Kostner has gotten this far. She must have more fans here than I thought/expected...

Honestly, it's her turn this time.

I clicked on what I thought was a link to an image of Butyrskaya and found a map of Turkey instead.

ETA: Never mind. It works now. :)

Voting for Kostner again...

Perhaps it's just a browser issue on my end. I dunno.

[berthesghost]

Jezis effing christo how the eff is caro "Bambi legs" kostner still here?!?!

Eta: I get a link to turkey too. Does tugba a have hacking skills? :lol:

[victoriaheidi]

:( Maria

Ok, I'm voting Tara again.

[blue_idealist]

Well, now that Maria is gone, it's gotta be Carolina.

I don't get why people want Tara out now. Maybe she didn't have longevity, but saying she's worse than Kostner? *shakes head*

*gasp* someone voted for Kwan? I still think she's going to eventually win though.

[Cheylana]

Voted for Carolina again. Again, I like her a lot, she's a worthy World champ, but in terms of accomplishments, consistency, etc., she's a step behind the other ladies on this poll.

[shady82]

Carolina again, she should have gone two rounds ago. *Although I was very happy for her when she won Worlds this year.

[RD]

I'd argue Kostner should have been out from round 2...Hughes & Ando went out too early IMHO.

[Vash01]

Carolina really needs to go now.

[icellist]

i didn't really care about tara's longevity. it's really her presentation and skating skills that irks me.
