Redhead - 3 votes
Blonde Red Tights - 5 votes
Brunette Driver - 5 votes
Background Dude - 1 vote

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

As with all ties, I must call upon the sitting Vice President of the United States to make a ruling.


"From my observation, Blonde Red Tights edges out Brunette Driver through a variety of factors. The placement of Blonde Red Tights in the right side of the frame gives her a position of dominance (at least to the eyes of this left-to-right reading individual), but more importantly, she's not pedaling. Brunette Driver is doing the legwork, because Blonde Red Tights is in charge."
