Thankyou so much for posting these - I can't seem to get my butt into gear to obtain Saturday's West since I moved to the country, and besides I've usually got S here or I'm at S's place in the city so I can't spend time BA-ing anyway. It's nice to see the tradition continuing . . . you could do awards too if you felt like it :-P

Ethan George - meh
Hayden Simon (Declan) - attack of the ns

Riley Shae (Kaitlyn) - enough already

Carissa Rahni - cute

Mitchell Nevin & Ella Renae - boring, no, boring, no
