Give Terri some credit. She's never won before. Hasn't Martina gotten this one three years in a row?

Two in a row, three overall.

I give Terri credit, but I'd honestly pick Sara over Terri. Plus, I still think Martina's the best!!

I still think Reba's the best. I don't think you want to start that debate.

You never did answer my question in my initial response. When are the awards?

Eh. It's one of those lose-lose situations anyway. It's just an opinion contest. And no one's opinion ever beats mine. LMAO!!!

Okay, good. I think I may actually be able to remember that. That's the same day Stepford Wives comes out on DVD.
