Cause the Blue rat won the swamp witch. Blue rat capture the audience with his charismatic stage presence and humorous song. Most contenders were nervous but he seemed to get the loudest house response which was really cool. I'd have to say he looked like a kid at Christmas when he was called up for his prize. I think he's mentioned how much he loves the swampy. We're waiting on a video.
Get on it! It's anybody game. Entry's needed for review board to choose a top ten list that will contend for the final 3 winners. If you enjoy writing and playing, come join the contest for a chance to win big prizes. The prizes are adding up. Check this beauty out! Hell, I wish I could inter to win : (
