Not tech enough compared to Jay +and Francoise? he says he can sleep that jay eat john george: that is just jay's act... jay had awesome tech and was close to winning I know I'm just ribbing him :> i know was salberg a judge also? dad was the only one who wanted him to have a bronze Who to have a bronze? John or Jay? absolutley aboutthe german guy barry says John to have bronze hahaha, no he was the rtimer I guess he needed the 3 diablo suicides after all he says dont blame him!!!
