Aww

Neme91
Aww

You still get me to get you into shape ;) It isn't fair just me knowing the scores over 3 other judges and besides, I've won two, time to let someone else have a go ;)

Aww? The rivalry continues between us

spinfur
Aww? The rivalry continues between us

It's for the drama and ratings, I promise ;)

At least that means spinfur and Neme can't beast mode the entire season
