Actually looking back.on this, I think one of my nominations (Angie) might have been eliminated in error, unless I'm counting wrong I think it should have won its qualifier against Are Friends Electric, which is still in play?

Yes, you are right. I had it put through on the thread, but wrote the numbers in reverse in my spreadsheet so put through Are Friends Electric by accident. :o:o

So given that the Round 1 match for Are Friends Electric was a draw and I had to decide it and put it through, I'm going to reinstate Angie in it's place.
