The Drama
The vote process that led to Angel, Bob and Rafe winning was the target of huge drama.
The Dallas (Hansel von Quenzer, Helena Jones, Fasciogoth, Dorothy, L3g3nd Q) and Hollywood (Bellz, Marissa, Alumiere, Becca, Guy, Christal, Boon and Trid) bids violated the bid process rules, and as such had to be disqualified.
This upset a number of people.
