That was an impressive stretch and probably helped Besler’s case.

I thought that Victor was going to win this based on all the articles leading up to this. It was interesting to see how the voting broke down and that media vote was what pushed Matt over the top.

Can’t really complain about the top five guys though. All deserving but I would have had Jay and Carlos 3rd and 4th over Collin. He was not quite as good down the stretch.
