The Cougar Next Door contest became history as Meredith Rahn won the final
(unfortunately) CND $500 prize. And, history was made---relatively speaking---Friday night at Flannery's in the insideSTL.com Girls Next Door competition.
We had our first tie, and so therefore Jenna Nast and Bella Lynn split the $500 prize, and both are entered for our Girl Next Door of The Year Contest to be held in January at Lush.
It's not unlikely that there will be a tie with our point system. That can easily happen. But, the chances of each girl having the exact same total of votes when we combine the online votes with the in-person votes are extremely slim. However, we have had it happen before. This past February at Lucas Park, we had a tie, and so we instituted the crowd vote to be our tiebreaker.
After the crowd noise vote at Flannery's Friday night, it was still too close to call, and so we have our first tie.

Further proof that we're living in exciting times.
Here's how the voting finished:
