hey good job, practically over night your in the top five.

and they are starting to round the third corner, its neck and neck folks!

Or are the days going really really sssslllooowwwww?

hang in there, it only gets worse tomorrow

Just 12 hours or so to go, folks. This is getting exciting! Those on the borderline must be super frustrated, but the final results are near.

Oh, and did we say VOTE!!!!!

I'm glad I'm not in the top 5 - I already have a slot in the Mega challenge and would have hated to drop a potential participant off that list.

Good luck to all of you!!

It was really hard to pick which ONE to vote for. I really liked them all and had a heckuva hard time narrowing it down. I guess that just has to mean that everyone submitted a wonderful photo. Great job, everyone!

Sherry

And it's congrats to Joyce, Kerry, Danielle, Paul, Dan, Corey and the rest of the field!

Good race
