It's officially time for an UPDATE! I ended up taking a nap earlier today, which means I'm wired for at least the next two hours. It shall be a nice little journey. (I hate naps, mind you.)
There was a 10-Spot yesterday? Results are in the air!
Shinichiro Kurimoto YES: 5 | NO: 0
It's as simple as that.
33 players still remain, but we have a person in the Danger Zone, two up on the chopping block, and one looking for insurance with a 10-Spot. Vote.

UPDATE time, internets! In a little less than three hours, there are new Pogo badges to obtain. I'm just sayin' this 'cause I'm a member there myself. Life's nice when you have a free six month membership via friend of yours.
Oh, we have two Sudden Deaths to check!
Anthony Dias Blue STAY: 1 | GO: 3
Jeffrey Steingarten STAY: 3 | GO: 1
So, it's settled then. Steingarten stays, while Dias Blue heads for the exit. Now then... What about that 10-Spot?
Cat Cora YES: 0 | NO: 3
Uh... Yeah. I mean, no. Not getting it.
I've got an even 32 players remaining. Two are in the Zone, the maximum of three are on the block, while another two are nominated for a 10-Spot. Since I didn't go and confuse you like I did yesterday, you can safely go and vote for today!

Here's an UPDATE! It's a big day night here at UICS Central tonight, so let's get right to it. Three Sudden Deaths at once? It's time to see who shall stay and who shall go.
Kerry Simon STAY: 0 | GO: 5
Bobby Flay STAY: 1 | GO: 4
Todd English STAY: 0 | GO: 5
The three of them are going, going, gone. And then there were two possible tenners in the mix. Is anyone going to get one?
Masaaki Hirano YES: 4 | NO: 1
Roy Yamaguchi YES: 1 | NO: 4
We're batting even there. Hirano gets it; Yamaguchi falls a bit out of reach there.
29 players officially remain in this game. One is in the Zone, and that's it. Why? I've bumped the aggregate up! It now takes six votes to send them to the dugout (four puts them in the Danger Zone). Let us vote.
Yutaka Ishinabe -- 1 Komei Nakamura Masahiko Kobe -- 1X Kenji Fukui -- O Shinichiro Ohta -- 1 Yukio Hattori -- X Mayuko Takata -- 1 Shinichiro Kurimoto -- X Kazuko Hosoki -- 1 Tadamichi Ota -- 2 Toshiro Kandagawa -- X Lin Kunbi -- 1 Yasushi Akimoto -- 1 Tenmei Kanoh Masaaki Hirano -- X Mario Batali Wolfgang Puck -- 3 Cat Cora -- 1O Jeffrey Steingarten -- 4 Kevin Braunch -- 1 Mark Dacasos -- 1 Roy Yamaguchi -- 2O Ariki Omae Julie Dreyfuss -- 2 Korn -- 3 Ron Siegel -- 1 Kyoko Kagata -- 1 Nagisa Oshima -- 1 Michael Symon -- 1

Time for an UPDATE! It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood this evening, though it has gone from the strange to the joyous to the happy-tears-in-your-eyes and then back to the joyous. Boy, I think that's enough for me. *nods*
