I love seeing everyone else’s choices, but we all seem to agree a lot more than I expected. There are only slight variations.
lol, I’ve been pretty surprised too. I was trying to hold back posting these up because I didn’t want people choices to be influenced that early but it appears that people tended to answer the same things anyways. It’ll be those slight variations that determine the winners though, I’m looking forward to seeing what the actual nominees end up being
I know what I’ll be watching on Thursday, January 10 at 5:30 a.m. PT.
