Update: (spoilers to follow)
Who's More Catholic.
Fr. Jim is armed with a new pen.
1. Sound effect: "blood pressure"
--> dustin was the first caller, and votes for.... Fr. Jim!
Fr. Jim: 1
Lino: 0
Lino's state of mind: Calm. Acknowledges that Fr. Jim's answer was better.

2. Sound effect: "buoy"
Lino's answer: very verbose, and meandering.
Fr. Jim's answer: nice, succinct.
--> Sean in Des Moines, IA hates saying that he is voting for Fr. Jim!
Fr. Jim: 2
Lino: 0
Lino's state of mind: mildly irritated.

3. Sound effect: "Car won't start."
(Lou and Jared providing color commentary -- very nice touch.)
Fr. Jim's answer: Again, short and succinct. Decent. Solid.
Lino's answer: Verbose, full of metaphor, and mom 'n apple pie.
--> Cort in San Diego, CA. He picks Lino.
Fr. Jim: 2
Lino: 1
Lino's state of mind: he's speaking words of blessing and flowery-ness to Cort.
Cort gives him some fraternal correction. Nice job.

4. Sound effect: "Cattle."
Fr. Jim and Lino pass.

5. Sound effect: "Slide projector."
(During the color commentary, we learned that Jared leans toward the
overly flowery Lino answers.)
Lino's answer: Plugs his facebook and twitter. Talks of technology.
Fr. Jim's answer: Succinct. Solid answer.
--> Mary in Milwaukee, WI votes for Fr. Jim Chern. Calls Lino's answer is full
of "shameless self promotion."
Fr. Jim: 3
Lino: 1
Lino's state of mind: He's going to Hulk out soon. Lino attacks Mary and calls her "not honest."

6. Sound effect: "Smoke detector."
(Lou chides both men for being hostile to listeners. And by both I mean "Lino.")
Fr. Jim's answer: nice answer about selecting a pope.
Lino's answer: goes into conscience, and rambles a little.
--> Rock in Central, IL gives a two-part answer. He picks both. Rock's vote is rejected.
--> Pro-bono Brian is chosen instead. He votes for Fr. Jim.
Fr. Jim: 4
Lino: 1
Lino's state of mind: Slightly relieved I think. I think Rock was going to drive Lino crazy
with his double voting.

Lou: "Fr. Jim won. We all almost lost."

Lino: "It was like backing into the playoffs."
