a cam facut misto de baieti cu raspunsurile alea )))

[Al Locust]

M-am uitat si eu la toate episoadele.

Daca ar fi sa ma iau numai dupa alea atunci as spune ca nu-l pe David Rheem avand prea mari sanse sa ia bratara; calca stramb destul de des.

Eu zic Scott Montgomery sau Dennis Phillips.
I like Craig Marquis, dar e cam short.

[marcoskaloo]

Dennis Phillips era in vana mare, eu pe el merg. Scott Montgomery ala mi se pare un fel de fish-maniac cu foarte mult noroc. Ylon Shwartz ala vad ca tace si face. Suharto mi s-a parut ca joaca mult prea tight si nu-l vad in primii 3. Craig Marquis imi place si mie, dar nu prea are "munitie". David Rheem joaca bine, da cum ai zis si tu, cam da cu bata in balta uneori.

[cristiano23]

eu cred ca Ivan Demidov castiga,mi-a placut cum a jucat pana la masa finala..

[SilviuOR]

v-a fi transmis undeva live?

[cereala]

eu mizez pe trioul Dennis Phillips , Ivan Demidov , Chino Reem.
singurul MEGA FISH care nu merita sa fie la masa aia de 9 e scott mOntgomery

[lyncks]

eu zic ca ivan ii arde, parerea mea

[adymoflita]

Eu zic atentie la ala short..... eu cu el tin desi cred ca ivan castiga.

[ActionBoy]

v-a fi transmis undeva live?

Chiar..stie cineva?

[touche]

Peter Eastgate de departe ...

[alexbv]

putem vedea undeva live?....stie cineva?

[SeNzi]

Chiar..stie cineva?

stie? stie cineva ceva?!

[Al Locust]

Nu stie nimeni?

[obs]

Neinteresant, atata timp cat HU se joaca in martie...
