It's UPDATE time! And it's a race to 25 votes. I've mentioned it twice. Sakai only needs two more votes before gaining access to the Hall of Fame. Will he get them?

UPDATE! Sanji's right. The countdown has started for Sakai. He only needs ten votes to ensure that he never has to go through another one of these tournaments. Can Morimoto break out of his slump, though, and prove everyone wrong? Who'll win this game? Vote for today!

UPDATE! I will have a long day ahead of me tomorrow, so let's make this quick. Sakai's got a one vote lead, but that can all change in a flash. Okay, kidlets. Time to vote for today!

This is it... Time for the final two UPDATE! Now we wipe the slate clean. No features, no Seek Revenges, no nothing. It's a straight out votefest to determine who joins Michiba in the UICS Hall of Fame. You have Hiroyuki Sakai -- the second Iron Chef French versus Masaharu Morimoto -- the third Iron Chef Japanese. The last time these two battled each other, it was in the 1999 Iron Chef Finale and the theme was bell pepper. Sakai edged Morimoto out, but can Morimoto avenge the outcome and triumph over the forces of the circle mold?
The first one to reach 25 votes takes it, so I think it would be nice if you all voted for today and chose the winner of the second Ultimate Iron Chef Survivor installment!
Hiroyuki Sakai Masaharu Morimoto
Platinum Division (21st through 25th eliminated) Shinichiro Kurimoto Chen Kenichi Takeshi Kaga Asako Kishi
Gold Division (16th through 20th eliminated) Bobby Flay ($) Masahiko Kobe Tadamichi Ota Masaaki Hirano Alton Brown
Silver Division (11th through 15th eliminated) Shinichiro Ohta Toshiro Kandagawa Tenmei Kanoh Wolfgang Puck Mario Batali
Bronze Division (6th through 10th eliminated) Mayuko Takata Yasushi Akimoto Kevin Braunch Lin Kunbi Yukio Hattori
Copper Division (1st through 5th eliminated) Kenji Fukui Yutaka Ishinabe Komei Nakamura Kazuko Hosoki Chua Lam
Okay... Vote one goes to Hiroyuki Sakai. Morimoto's cool and all, but I think Sakai's time is now.

Let's get down with this UPDATE! I thought I was going to go cold turkey with the internet today, but things were better as I went step-by-step in at least maintaining the computer's control with a friend. So it's not a total loss. Now then... Only four players remain. Nominations for 10-Spots are now permanently disabled because all four contestants have 10-Spots next to their names, and this game could end up being a final two affair in two votes. So let's get down to business. Vote for today!
Hiroyuki Sakai -- 6X! Masaharu Morimoto -- 7X Chen Kenichi -- 9X! Shinichiro Kurimoto -- 9X
Votes to eliminate: 8 Votes for Danger Zone: 6
NOTES: Seek Revenges are eliminated from play. Freeze Frames are eliminated from play. 10-Spots are permanently disabled.
Sudden Deaths to vote on today: None
Validation Sanji Himura -- sought revenge (Flay)
Platinum Division (21st through 25th eliminated) Takeshi Kaga Asako Kishi
Gold Division (16th through 20th eliminated) Bobby Flay ($) Masahiko Kobe Tadamichi Ota Masaaki Hirano Alton Brown
Silver Division (11th through 15th eliminated) Shinichiro Ohta Toshiro Kandagawa Tenmei Kanoh Wolfgang Puck Mario Batali
Bronze Division (6th through 10th eliminated) Mayuko Takata Yasushi Akimoto Kevin Braunch Lin Kunbi Yukio Hattori
Copper Division (1st through 5th eliminated) Kenji Fukui Yutaka Ishinabe Komei Nakamura Kazuko Hosoki Chua Lam
Wait... Did I say two votes could turn this game around? Uh, I beg to differ. Hiroyuki Sakai.
