I don't know about anyone else, but I find the return of VoteBot oddly comforting.
Ditto. This forum seems so quiet without him scuttling here and there.
I don't know what that says about us. Maybe I don't want to know.
As for the wait, we're down to three contestants and the top level of the contest, so the pressure's really on them to revise until their last submission moment. Also, when there were more contestants, they tended to stagger their submissions more, with some posting early, some in the middle, and some late. With just three contestants, they don't have to worry about the voters having enough time to read them all thoroughly and repeatedly, if necessary, so posting late doesn't press the peanut gallery into speed-reading.
