This is where it gets interesting. It's customary in these games to reset the points to 5 for each of the top 5, but there's no clear contender for the number 6 slot. I know which I think is the least good of the remaining 6, but that doesn't mean we'll be able to reach a consensus.

This is what I was afraid of. And I really can't imagine voting against any of the others.

Yes, it's hard to see a way out of the impasse. To be honest, even if I got my wish and Sheena was knocked out, I wouldn't know what to vote against next. The other 5 tracks are all equally terrific. FYEO is good too, I just don't see it as being in quite the same class as the others.

They're all good, I just think GF is the weakest of what's left, though LALD might be a consideration, too.

We could reset them all to 5...
