Memling is good. Too good to get knocked out right now? No. My vote goes to Laurencin.

Mm, Memling, I guess. But it was close.

It was close all right, as Laurencin sneaks by Memling by a single vote, seven votes to six. That knocks Memling out of the Tournament, and advances Laurencin to Second Round Elimination!
