Have we all stopped guessing who's song is whos? It's kind of quit around here...come to think of it MoFo is kind of quiet lately.

I think most people made their guesses in the first round. I'm more concerned that people have stopped admitting which songs are their nominations after they're out.

Some are probably not paying as close as attention towards the end of the tournament, I think I had a song get knocked out but didn't realize it so never commented on it. Funny thing is I don't remember even seeing it, but I must have.

BTW is it a requirement that we reveal our songs at some point?

No, it's not a requirement, but I think most people are curious about everyone else's nominations. The idea of this tournament was to get to know each other, and it's hard to do that if we don't know who nominated what songs.

Maybe just for fun, when the winner is announced, we all take our best guess at who the song belongs too.

I'm quite disappointed that some of the songs haven't been explained.

While we're waiting for the last few votes to come in, I'll reveal another song that I considered nominating, but didn't.

This is a song that I thought about a lot, and I couldn't decide whether or not to nominate it for a few reasons. The first reason was the obvious one, that everyone would immediately know that it was my nomination. The second reason was that there was a very good chance that nobody but me would vote for it. But the main reason that I didn't nominate it was that it's from a very emotional time in my life, and I didn't know if other people were going to open up the way they did. But since some of you have opened yourself up, it's only fair that I do the same.

This is a song from a few years after I graduated from college. I had been in a relationship with a guy, and after 5+ years, we had a huge fight and broke up. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with this guy, so it was one of the most painful times in my life. I spent many, many hours after the breakup just lying in bed listening to this song, most of it with the song playing on continuous repeat, and just thinking about what might have been.

Collin Raye - It Could've Been So Good

GBG, that's a heartfelt sad song Thanks for sharing that story.

GBG do you know what ever happened to that guy? Have you ever looked to see what he's doing today?

I met Hubby years later, so he wasn't a "rebound catch".

About ten years after we broke up, I saw him again, very briefly. Just by coincidence, were both on the same flight from New York to Florida. I found out that he moved to Florida and got married. (His wife wasn't with him, so I didn't meet her.)

I haven't seen him since then, and I've never looked him up on Facebook, Twitter, or anything like that, so that's all I know about him now.

My hat's off to you and everyone who told deeply personal stories. I tried, I really did but I just couldn't do it. It's like an invisible force reaches out and stops me. I wrote several post that were about myself, including one just minutes ago, but no matter how hard I tried I could not hit the submit post button.
