UPDATE time! Welcome to Friday. I'm so glad you could make it. We had three Sudden Death nominees whose fates were in the balance. I'd like to see how those results turned out.
Kazuko Hosoki STAY: 1 | GO: 4
Mario Batali STAY: 2 | GO: 3
Yutaka Ishinabe STAY: 1 | GO: 4
Three up, three down. I feel like I'm playing a half-inning here.
Sorry, misstee. I can't break down the vote total for Kanoh because Kanoh only has three votes to his name. You need to have four votes before you can be broken down. I'd like to give it to you this time, but it's not going to happen.
By my count, I find that 16 players remain. That means, ladies and gentlemen of the board, it is time to bump the aggregate up once again. Now it takes seven votes to eliminate any one of the players that do not claim an X next to their current total. Five votes will put one or more of them into the Danger Zone. Do I make myself clear? Very good. Vote for today!

UPDATE time! My ear, which has been out of comission since the beginning of May, comes back to life whenever I yawn. This is a miracle in science, ladies and gentlemen. I don't know what I'll do when I can actually hear out of both ears.
With the Seek Revenge that was used, we're back up to 17 fine folks in the game. That means that I have to drop the aggregate to six votes. Trust me... One more person gone, and that number will increase once again. Other than the SR used, one person is in the freezer. Guys, I request that you vote for today.

Who wants to see an UPDATE? Breathe easy, faithful voters, I've come bearing gifts of possible departures. What do I have in my trusted bag tonight?
I have 17 players still remaining, with the good news of one that is in the Danger Zone and one still frozen. I think you're able to vote now.

I'll let someone else pick off the Kishi of the ICA tasting panel. At this moment, I think Yutaka Ishinabe deserves at least a welcome back vote.
