Hall I don’t know much about you but I perceive you as a humble, upstanding, intelligent and talented young man who stands for all the right things. You deserve the wild card. And Erik you did a terrific job in your first year (I think its your first.) You’ll outright win a contest next year.

2nd place is my favorite position. Now I am going to go jump off a bridge, thank you.

Eric, Make it the Brooklyn Bridge. You may float into the Atlantic Ocean, wash up onshore at Coney Island, and make it to the Finals after all. But beware, I think there was some rotted human flesh in the hot dogs this year – BUT, I’m not saying they didn’t taste good!!

Oj, sorry, I was using brats as a synonym for hot dogs. They were definitely hot dogs and they were definitely skinless.
Paul, thanks for the advice.
