Jeremy on heading back home rather than staying to root on Wemby in the skills challenge Saturday night:
“I want to have some vacation, some rest time,” he said.
Oh, and one other thing:
“Otto is at home on his own,” he said, referring to his German pointer. – 11:26 PM

It’s been a long day for Wemby, and he’s still got the skills challenge to complete tomorrow night. So is he tired?
“I was tired before it even started. I can’t wait until it’s over because I need these couple of days of rest to get back to be good during the season.” – 10:47 PM
