"I think we should find someone else to step up on hosting.  I told Randy I'd do it in the future but can't for a least a little while as I am swamped at work."

"Well as we are running out of time, it is awfully quiet out there.  I have to concur with T Kelly - Bob's last actions are our best clue at this point.  Therefore: Vote: Daniel "

"Continuing on that thought, if we look at Bob's "gut", the one he was most unsure of that is still left is Daniel. Also, Daniel, as T Kelly pointed out, you "hid" most of the last turn. Anything you'd like to share with…"

"OK so reading up quickly on Lovers, it seems that they are attached to another character so that if the one character goes, the other one does as well.  So I guess we can presume that because Bob's character died, Chris' did also,…"
