               Since my newsfeed is still having problems
               I decided to save bandwidth (via Cathy's help)
               and answer 2 different posts.

                  ****************************************
                  Your comments about Jack winning this time
                  were approximately the same as they were
                  the last time this poll was conducted.  
                  You stated a fact that a small group of
                  Jack fans give him most of their votes.
                  So what's your point?  Victor's fans or
                  anyone else's can do the same for their
                  favorites.  Jack still won!

                  ****************************************
                  Don't bet on it.  Carly brings everyone
                  down.  IMO she'll remain the same and,
                  since Larry will be paired with her, he
                  will unfortunately suffer the consequences.
                  I wouldn't be surprised if he drops down.
                  Larry's already lost a lot of his edge.  
                  Once he gets bogged down with the likes of 
                  Carly (catering to her every whim) it'll
                  be like watching Bo and Carly all over
                  again.

             ***********************************************
             If it's a general soap burnout how come J&J were
             singled out?  I DO AGREE WITH YOU that the show
             is b-o-r-i-n-g and if Viv,Vic, and Larry satisfy
             what you call interest that's great.  I like Vic
             and Julie myself because any storyline that Viv
             and Larry are in concerns Carly.  I refuse to
             watch anything more on that woman.  It still
             tickles me that you think J&J are yawn city even
             though they're not on much.  You must tire easily.
             Their scenes are sooooo brief.  The writers ARE
             a bunch of idiots!  When I saw the emergence of Kim's 
             third personality I went ballistic.  I never wished
             so strongly that I didn't have to set my vcr for
             one more day of this drivel.  As of Monday, Oct.
             19th, I'm counting down the days till Matt leaves.
             There's no pleasure in watching DAYS ignore Jack.
             Matthew deserves better.
