Important Rules!!
We'll be watching the same-day evening rebroadcast of the day's stage on OLN, so if you know how the stage went, DON'T TELL ANYONE and PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY RESULTS ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. Also, try to avoid looking at the OLN taxis that are cruising town or logging on to the New York Times (can you believe they are giving such coverage? Wow!)
