17. Mar 2010 Comments 4 comments

Well, after a ridiculous results show last week America has finally made a rational decision. The result wasn’t very shocking, but it was interesting to see Tim in the bottom three, even if it was for just a few seconds. Maybe the force isn’t as strong with Young Tim as I would have assumed.
