Well, we held off the jinx for another day. Contested won the 8th with 5 lengths to spare. The lone wolf who picked the fav in the 9th also survived.

I appreciate all the fun support in this thread!

Thanks, guys.

I'm probably going to regret this, but at literally the last minute, 12:51 on the Showvivor clock (I thought it was supposed to cut off at 12:50!), I switched from Stormberg in the 2nd to Cheese Danish in the 5th. Hell, I already regret it.

We'll see.

Here are what people chose:

Top 15 ShowVivor Contest Favorites: Thursday April 19th

6 people selected #03 Stormberg in race 2
2 people selected #07 Courtside in race 7
2 people selected #03 Arinyes Love in race 5
2 people selected #01 Outperform in race 3
1 person selected #03 Saddleranch in race 7
1 person selected #07 H. J.'s Kitty in race 5
1 person selected #01 Cheese Danish in race 5

egads, I made it. (Cheese Danish finished 2nd to the horse I should have chosen if I was going to pick from that race!). Regardless, it was an awful pick. I feel like I've been given a gift by not being eliminated.

One player has been knocked out already. 3 more have picks in the 7th.

Thanks for the cheering!

PLAYERS STILL IN: 12
PLAYERS OUT: 6559
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571


A total of 3 players were knocked out today, leaving 12 of us.

Tomorrow is Day 29, and I'm looking at Blingo in the 5-horse 7th race.
