Powers. Alex and I were musing that Poussin might have fared better were he shown earlier in the tournament.

I find it hard to say anything bad about Powers, but it's also tough to get too excited. I'll go with Poussin

Susan casts a vote-by-mail for Poussin: "Surely there are better Poussins then these?"
