I know BB said he had finals, so that definitely takes precedence over the game. No need to be disrespectful.

Sorry about the lack of updating. I was working "behind closed doors" to avoid Brainbustaaah's straight up elimination. He DID get picks in, but there were fixes to be made. All I'm waiting for are the fixes. Thanks for the patience. I know it's always hard to tell what's going on when the game hits a standstill like this, but I assure you that I'm still involved and still here. It's just the nature of every season of FAN Idol/WSOPC, it seems. Since the picks have been sent in, I want to wait for him to get me the fixes so we can have an actual Semi-Finals cut for Top 3. Call it an executive decision and boot me out of office if you will, but I just think it would be a jerk move to kick him out of the competition since he really has made an effort to contact me. In past cases of FAN Idol and such, complete shutdown of participation in the game (especially in the early going) is clearly a case for elimination. Brainbustaaah has earned his keep by participating and being here all the way to the Top 3. Just the way I'm looking at it here. It's not like it's the standard sign-up and drop participation after Round 2 or 3 that we tend to get from people.
Because there are so many picks in this round, the elimination process will pivot on the Bottom 2. If there is close ground separating the Bottom 2, we will have a quick "extended round" to determine elimination. (If you want to look at it another way, it's really the same thing as head-to-head elimination that we've been doing.) If the Top 2 is a "definitive" Top 2, then the 2nd Place competitor will not have to pull all his eggs in a basket (so to speak) on a head-to-head, since he already determined in a 5-selection head-to-head-to-head that he would already be deserving of Finals. In other words, we were having head-to-head-to-head eliminations long before Semis and I always thought it counterproductive to have the Bottom 2 of a 3-person Semi-Finals ultimately be decided on ONE head-to-head selection after having such an intense pre-final round to begin with. So, if the top 2 separate themselves from the 3rd place competitor, then those 2 WILL advance to Finals.

Got the fixes sent in. I'm just sending what I have to judges when I get home tonight even though there is still one problem. Just letting you know.

So, I totally used Doctor Who in an earlier round. Thought you couldn't do that.

But when you have picks coming in right and left and everyone and his brother is breaking the rules and everything else, it comes to a point when the delays and the back-and-forth PMs are too much and you just have to let it go. I can't tell judges what to do, but I know exactly what I'd be doing.

My rankings are in. Good work to the final 3. A few of the categories were especially hard to pick an order.

I just got to say one thing I am a game show fanatic and one of those Game Show moments is beyond epic in my opinion, I've seen it several times before and it just gets more epic each time I watch it.
I got to say the three guys left in this definitely deserve to be in the final three.

One more judge and then Finalists (possibly) announced. If it is deemed "too close to call," then the elimination head-to-head will be in effect.

Picks are in. I'm excited to see how this one comes out. The game show category in particular was furiously strong.

I coulda/shoulda had results by yesterday afternoon, but I somehow missed last judge's update. Working on it now. EDIT: Will be up when I get some feedback from judges.

I'm just going to spill the beans. I hate seeing you guys have to wait so long to find out the results. Don't read ahead if you don't want to be spoiled. {Spoiler}In my book, you're all winners.

There will be no judges save leading to a head-to-head elimination for the round after talking with judges. (See an earlier post for more info if you missed how this round's elimination works.) Below are the results for the round, which--as was already stated on the main thread--was a tough round to call. {Spoiler} Congrats to our Finalists! Since there is no "decision-making" that has to be done in the Finale, we should have a pretty straightforward results show and everything like that, assuming we get entries in a reasonable amount of time and catastrophe doesn't strike. The game has been tight throughout and now we have two very worthy finalists (overqualified for "worthy" actually). We're sorry that our 3rd Place contestant is now out, but going back through the results, it's obvious why those were our Top 3. Very good entries in this first installment of WSOPC!
