I think it was silly for them to put Katie Hoff in two of the spots in the same category. She might split her votes and lose by default. Although she still has other categories she is nominated in. So she is sure to win one. I really love to see the swimmers all dressed up. I cant make sense of the skinny arms thing though... We KNOW Brendan doesn't have skinny arms ;)

You're thinking along the same lines I was.
Brendan has like...anti-skinny arms. Which I am totally ok with. I embrace it even.

Here's the latest Golden Goggles update.... lala and I just talked to Sarah and Terrie. They are both outside Hammerstein Ballroom awaiting all the swimmers. They've always seen Rowdy, Eddie Reese, and Scott Usher and can't wait to see more!
