I don’t think anyone would want to see the pic of Lil Kim anyway. She looks really fake. But she was good on the show. I can see her in the Top 5. Ty Murray has got to go. Steve Wozniak does too.

softnpynk,please understand that there is nothing foul or suspect going on in regards to Lil’ Kim. No one has a gripe against Lil ‘Kim. We would be more than happy to place her photo. However, being that we get our photos from the Associated Press, who gets the photos from ABC, sometimes delays occur. I searched our database and as of now it looks like there was no release of a photo to AP from ABC of Lil’ Kim and her partner. We will get it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I’m wondering where is the pic of Lil Kim and her partner? Wow! Come on Dayton Daily! Looks a little suspect to me.

First four to leave (in order)… Wozniak, Carlisle, Murray, Steve O. Top three contenders (not necessarily in this order) Rycroft… Marini… Johnson.
