---------------------

One thing that's helpful about this format, from an organizing point of view, is that I don't have to wait for yesterday's poll (for Group C) to finish before starting this one. This poll is not reliant on the results of yesterday's. I mean, I usually try to keep them fairly close together, so we don't have too much going on at once, but it's just a bit more relaxing, and it doesn't push things too late into the day for me, which was a minor inconvenience of running a survivor.

Wowee! It's a tie-fest today! Let's do this then.

9. VENENO PARA LAS HADAS (3pts / -20 / 21-41 / 1-0-6)

Routine has booked its place in the last 16, and Transience, Permanating and Veneno Para Las Hadas have all been eliminated from qualification. Meanwhile, Raider II and Don't Hate Me have notched up their THIRD ties of the tournament. Looks like Raider II in particular is a pretty divisive song. Equal amounts of love and hate for it.

Deform to Form a Star currently leads the race for the best 4th-placed song, being the only such song on 13 points. The 4th-placed songs in all the other groups are on 12 points.

What a round! Only 2 of the 10 songs in this group won their Round 7 match. Three matches ended in a tie. It's pretty tight in the middle of the table, with 2 points separating 3rd and 7th place. Refuge, despite only tying its match and dropping points for the first time, has clinched a place in the last 16, while Nowhere Now and Remainder the Black Dog are out of contention.
