Breaststroker Erika DeBenedetto double-dipped, capturing the 100 and 200-yard distances in 1:06.86 and 2:25.30, respectively. DeBenedetto's wins helped patch-up a lagging gap in the Crimson breaststroke line...
Ahem: terrible calamity, anyone? For reasons the networks say they have yet to clear up, far more votes than expected quickly came in, including a flood for Gore that closed the gap at one point to around 200 votes.

Simon came on unpaid--and brought his own cell phone to save even that expense...
