And the news here from OT Central is that TIMO Baggins has stormed into the lead in an unprecedented night of polling action.

The shock of the night must surely be the vote from Japan going Timo's way and NOT to fellow scatologist Alex Hall of Florida.

Timo's supporters have been gathering expectantly in t' shire since this morning hoping to get a wave from the man who increasingly looks like the incumbent new moderator of TOUAVF.

The American camp is in disarray and some desperate closed-door negotiations are rumoured to be taking place, but we have had no confirmation of this report.

And it's back to the studio..
