Aha! Now we get down to it! I will also abandon my attempt at rationalising my vote (at least we tried, right? And it's only a guess, after all...but it does make it all so much funner) and say that I think Eliana is cuter than the lot of them. I stand by my vote, may the hottest team win!

You think that is bad, check this out! Arizona Sex Offenders Database Do a search under any AZ zip code (eg Eloy is 85231) and peruse the mugs on the beauties that come up. Nasty. Since it's so obvious that all sex offenders and most murderers look f***ing weird (take Michael Jackson for example), why don't they just round'em all up on suspicion of looking like a sex offender in the first place? Save a lot of hassle. It would also make an interesting study if you could ask people to rate photos based on how much like a sex offender someone looked and match it with their true level of sex offender-ness. I'm sure the % would be HIGH!

LOL Men and women get treated differently WHERE EVER they go...If I'm at the store, at a bar, at work. It may not be right or fair, but it's the law of nature. I don't see why the dz should be any different, it's just a microcosm of society where everything is more intense. It aint necessarily a bad thing...What's the big deal if someone helps you get air out of your canopy or offers some advice on body pos or safety? Be flattered, be nice, smile and don't be overwhelmed by it. It's all good 'slong as you have your head screwed on right chicks

I just think they are training in an environment with more seasoned (and more consistently successful) world competitors. I also think the new Airspeed guys have been selected for the team based on the evaluation of those seasoned world champions that they will be able to hack it. Fire didn't beat the Knights at a world level (did they? was it an NSL thing?), the pressure is not the same. But I guess that's why competition is so much more exciting at that level, the pressure is that much more, no-one really knows what they can do until they get there. It will definitely be something to watch and root for all the new guys, just being there is quite an incredible achievement. But I hope that explains my vote.

This is a reply to the whole thread not just the last post... At the moment Fire are in the voting lead....But really folks...as a team they have NO experience on the world stage...teams (and individuals) crack under real pressure...That's what makes Airspeed the winners... (for more than just the odd season). So I vote odyssey.x
