What Jonathan decided

1907 Water wins ("1907 is going to be moving on to the next round"); Waiakea eliminated: "you can really taste the volcano," which he dislikes

1907

He picked 1907 over Waiakea because "you can really taste the volcano" in the Waiakea, and that was not a compliment. In the next round Starkey edged it out, but second place in that crowd is nothing to be ashamed of.
