Poor Le Chard, i can't imagine how difficult it is to have to look at that disgusting fat fish across the net, surprised he lasted as long as he did.
Soooo happy for Evgeni, have been wanting him to do well for a long time. He is soo hot and soo sweet. I hope he can stomach the vileness tomorrow.
Go Evgeni! I am going for the upset.
