Tough one. Kahlo.
Homer, in a fairly easy decision.
I like Frida but have to go with Homer.
Kahlo
This is some star power! We must be getting down to the Elite Eight. I'm a big fan of Winslow Homer. I have to give him the nod in this one.
Homer, in a not very easy decision. But I guess I'm more of a classicist.
Homer, Kahlo still does nothing for me.
Khalo. I do like Homer but my allegiances both to female and Mexican artists might win out here even if I didn't like Khalo's art significantly more.
Homer
Winslow slams another Homer!
Homer!
Susan votes for Homer.
Homer.
Homer wins this match, ten votes to three. He'll continue on to another tough match -- Homer has probably had one of the toughest schedules of anyone in the Tournament -- and Kahlo bows out after a enviable 3-2 run.
