Winner!

Well well well, what are the results. Take a look at the chart and you'll see one bar beyond the rest. First, quick props to the 4-way-tied Second placers.

KT started out extremely strong and even took a late prize with the random Best Doc category. But alas, she couldn't close the deal. Franchise, from the deadline-beating submission all the way to contention. Quite a showing. Irene showed up with another great performance, so we can no longer question her previous victory when Yong ran the contest, I guess. Lastly, Loc, poor Loc, what a simpleton. Humility may do him some good.

Ah, but on to the winner. Laura wins! Laura wins? What? Yeah, she of last place from one year ago, literally getting a full 6 right, now steps in to win it all? Wow, I guess all those links provided were helpful afterall. Good job Laura, you won!

You'll be getting your prize right after Jenny gets her prize from last year's contest...whoops.
