It was mostly Blowout City today, as Sara, Lanisha, and Claudia cruised to wins, with the most surprising win being by Sara. She pulled off the shocking upset by not only beating top-seeded Ursula, but absolutely crushing her, 7-2. Lanisha and Claudia both had easy 8-1 victories, which I kind of think has to do with the TPIR bias. I hope that bias didn't get in the way, but those results almost say otherwise. Because of this, it should be interesting when the two of them face each other on Mother's Day. Anyway, the one close matchup of the day was between Sonia and Jenelle, and they battled right down to the wire, with Jenelle edging Sonia, 5-4. I think Saturday's second round matchups should be much more exciting than today's. Voting is underway in those matchups now.
