Julie Berman: Before viewing the episodes I truly thought Julie Berman would run away with this, as she had so much buzz around her episodes. Her two episodes are good, but she kind of fades into the background when in the scene with Genie Francis and Anthony Geary.

Alexandra Chando has a great first episode, but her second episode is a bad pick. She said she was going for something lighter and different, which is a good approach to show range. However, this particular episode doesn't do it. It's too bad she doesn't have some of those daydream episodes from when she first came onto the show.

Stephanie Gatschett's tapes brought back bad memories. When her first episode originally aired, I remember thinking that her mother should be locked up forever. I mean, who locks their kid in the morgue with a corpse on purpose!!!! While the Inside the Light episodes work for other actors this year, it almost works against Gatschett in this first episode. The second episode is very good, but voters might be a little tired of her after the ITL episode.

Jennifer Landon rocks it in her episodes! She could also go back-to-back and will give Berman a run for her money.

Ramblin is great, but the storyline she submits is not great. If voters can overlook that, she could be a surprise winner on Friday.


Who will win: Berman

Who should win: Landon or Berman

I would vote for: Landon
