The post-opening opening frenzy has subsided and the second series of votes has been collated.

Anna Steele is still holding Caitlin Telford at bay but they have been pegged back a little by the rest of the field. Sue Comrie currently holds down 3rd place.

Michael Carolan has passed Karen Bragg who has also almost been caught by big mover, LC Sands. Beka Hannah has dropped off the pace a little, Jean-Jacques Lale-Demoz’s vote is steady and Lucie Hallenstein is making a valiant push, but may have timed her run a little too late.

There has been little change within the overall battle for intergenerational supremacy. Generation X is still displaying no sign of happiness at maintaining its lead. The Baby Boomers have ruffled their denim a little and lost a little ground to Gen Y but the youngsters would still need to get a rush of votes to make up the gap; or as they said “Whatever!”
