Okay just so you understand, I've kind of left this one alone. But we will explain -- One competitor told a story on the other (and it wasn't a pretty one) and another told a story of stretching some liberties in a NASCAR race.
When it became apparent, just 6 hours into the event, and a 600-plus vote lead, plus a call from one of the competitors asking us to please take the story down -- we showed compassion and followed the request.
I know it's not the explanation you want -- but it's the truth. Sorry we disappointed you, but it became evident this year that we will have to implement some rules for the second annual competition.
I think you can put A and B together considering the two finalists.
