Congratulations Ron Koch. You are very much in the game and so positive. Mr. ??????, just another troublemaker whose glass is always half-empty. How about let’s let Damon Wells speak for himself. Stonie!! You continue to be incredible. To be so close to the Bertoletti placement is amazing. Congratulations all. Funny that 2:25 am writes who cares…….Glass half full people and their postings are rampant on this site and awake at all hours protesting whatever. If you really did not care……..oh never mind, redundant.

Those are some excellent/respectable totals. Matt, I’m unsure how much you’ll further improve, but even if you improve no more, you’re totals remain very impressive.
When Pat gets topped by a pound, yoiu know the eater who did it is just about superhuman. That’s just about what Joey is. I’ll talk some smack her for Joey, and say he has pretty much always had Pat’s number.
That’s meant as a compliment for both!

What sucks is up to last week Joey and Matt weren’t confirmed.
If they skipped out, Damon would have finished in the money.
