                             Notes from the arena champ.

I'm sure My Big Brother is simply confused.   He claims I mistreat Chad and kills me, 
and all that does is give me the throne the next turn. Sometimes Big Brothers just 
ain't so smart.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  ERINIKA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Like, GAMMA WORLD had 
to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by RYAN'S SHOWS!  Way to go 
RYAN'S SHOWS!  I couldn't believe it.  Did WHISKEY really go up by 20?  If only those 
guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  SWORD HEROES 2 had like a really 
albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 11th team!  I couldn't 
believe it.  Did MONGOL HORDE really go up by 33?  If only those guys didn't have so 
may missing teeth...  Gross!  WORLDWIDE GORE had like a really albendranius week!  
Those hunks got a 1-1-0 and wound up as 15th team!  Really, just how far can one team 
drop in one round?  GAMMA WORLD dropped 17, which I think's more than all the other 
teams combined!  See if I even talk to any of those losers in SWORD HEROES 6 again!  
Didja see where they got 0-1-0?  Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  Wanna hear about 
a real loser?  Listen to this--SWORD HEROES 7 got 0-1-0 and dropped 24.  Didn't see 
much of them after the fights!  What was the name of that team who got 3-0-0 this 
turn for a total 68-53-3 you ask?  (Sure)  RYAN'S SHOWS' their name, and fighting's 
their game!  MVP award for OTTAWA SENATOR?  CAPITALISTS' proud of it after beating 
CONVICTED THIEF and getting 93 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  LOOMPA got 
smashed by S.P.C.A., and lost 12 points!  What a putz!  AVRIL LAVIGNE fights so hard 
to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one said she was a 
genius...  And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh 
well, welcome KHANADIAN.  Aren't MONGOL HORDE proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team 
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for 
PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  DARQUE WATERS 
was ERINIKA's most avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Is there some deep 
dark secret why WHISKEY's been avoiding DARQUE WATERS so much?  Or is it just that 
they're too scared?  Can JUDGEMENT 20's EVANGELINA be more popular than me?  She was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ERINIKA ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!  SUN LIGHT returns from the 
Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at its SUPER STARS teammates...  It was so gross 
when A CHORUS LLAMA of BROADWAY LLAMAS killed RESTING B FACE.  They should start 
making warriors use safer weapons, or more shields, or something...  What if they had 
a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  ERINIKA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
