Any updates on the verdict front? Still on two. I'm going out to see Cap 2. I'll be back later tonight. Tomorrow, I'll be gone for the day but I'll be back at night to accept songs and such. Keep them coming.

A verdict has been reached for Sing-Off #8, played between Mega B Natural: Also a Robot and Moonie. The judges have chosen not to use the Save. With this Elimination, the contestant pool will go down to 12 strong. Each Round gets tougher and tougher, each set of songs chosen by the contestants becomes more and more polished. Confidence rises, ingenuity is on full display, and risks become bigger. We've had some rocky moments but the season has solidified itself well. Everyone playing has an excellent chance of winning and, with this elimination, we shall say goodbye to someone who had the potential to become FAN Idol for Season IX. Mega B Natural. Moonie.
Please step forward. Mega B Natural chose Progressive Metal pioneers Dream Theater and their Pull Me Under, while Moonie chose Break On Through (To the Other Side) by California's own classic rock legends, The Doors. This was a very close match-up and, earning 3 votes to 2 and moving on to Round 21: Really Deep Thoughts is... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Mega B Natural!!!
Congratulations on moving forward. You took a big risk and, as you said, you went with what brought you here. So, awesome job and I hope you use this momentum to go even further!
That means that, unfortunately, we will have to say goodbye to Moonie. Moonie, you do so well whenever you play and, this Season, you upped your game. You have always represented classic rock strongly but I really appreciated your use of punk music and more experimental rock. I'm a big fan of both genres and I know we're losing a quality player.
Everyone, please put your hangs together for Moonie!!!

Good job Mega B Natural. You brought your A game and it paid off.
I had some highlights, but I suppose elimination was inevitable judging the last few rounds.
Good luck to everyone!

With Demented's departure, we need another judge. I decided that the next Eliminated contestant would join the judging panel if they wanted to do so.
So, with that, welcome Moonie as our latest judge!
Moonie adds an interesting perspective and will, no doubt, be a fine judge, so it's great to have him aboard. Judging will work as always, with the first five judges' rankings counting for each round and elimination sing-off. If more is indeed, they will be used.
Now, as for Round 21: Really Deep Thoughts, we have 8 out of 12 songs in.

I have to admit I was worried because it could have easily gone the other way. I'll have to step my game up from here on out for sure. You played well yourself too.

Dang Moonie. Lots of good things I can say about your playlist. "Psycho Killer" ... HUGE HUGE FAN of that song! I would've gone nuts as a judge with that. And Black Snake Moan. If I have one pat-myself-on-the-back moment as a player, it would go back to the "pick a song from a movie" round and I chose a song from the Movie Black Snake Moan with all attitude that I figured no one at the time would've thought of. So, sentimental props for seeing that choice on there from you. Also, you introduced Television to the competition for the first time. I think a lot of people were on board with you for doing that.
Congrats on the Mega Man advance. Your sig ... yeah, that's the good stuff.

Do I need to start throwing tomatoes at people? Because I will. And I haven't done it in a long time either.

Update on World Series of Pop Culture 2 hosting:
I was available to do this and tentatively still am. However, that announcement was made with anticipation that this game not going to be held up into late summer.
Tyger gives us the categories for the rounds a week before the results from the previous round get tallied and announced. It baffles me how it can take anyone in this field of competitors two weeks to submit one song.
There are 12 people left. At our rate, that's *at least* 12 more weeks of game here. If WSOPC doesn't start before August, it's likely you'll have to find another host. I was thinking July was going to be free for me and I could get the thing going then. But I also thought submitting one song would take a day, two days maximum.
EDIT: Looking back, that's not intentionally callous. I can be that way on some things, but not the intent here. It's meant to be a matter-of-factly stated announcement about WSeries hosting duties and less of a passive aggressive stab.

yeah, I made a commitment as a judge, and I am sticking to it, but this has been quite tedious as of late (the waiting game.) I feel like as a contestant last season, we went at a pretty decent pace. Late February to September if I remember correctly. 7 months. We are this close to surpassing that bench mark, and we're not even close to the homestretch of the game

Maybe the 2 who have not sent in their song are on Spring Break.

Of course the longer it takes people to get their songs in the more time I have until I'm finally knocked out of this thing. I can't believe I've lasted this long. Surely it's only a matter of time.
The suspense is killing me.

Can we at least get a sneak peak at what the next round will be while we wait on the last two songs.

Whenever Peg gets really fired up over something, I just imagine him as Mr. Anderson when he's doing his "IT'S TITO!!!!" shtick. Right about now, he and I are probably feeling a bit like this:

I wanted to wait for at least one judge's set of rankings before revealing the next Round for the surprise factor but it's fine if we reveal it now. It's a little involved, so contestants should have some time to think things over. We're going to revisit something introduced last Season that I felt went over very well. This time, though, it's time to up the ante. So, Round 21's theme is... Foxtrot. Alfa. November.FAN: The Three FAN BandFor this Team Round, the 12 remaining FAN Contestants will be sorted into 4 teams of 3 Contestants each using random.org. Each team member will be responsible for 1 song that highlights one element that helps make music so memorable: The VoiceChoose 1 Song that features great vocals (any genre, any number of singers, etc.) Guitar HeroChoose 1 Song that features fantastic guitar playingand finally The Rhythm Section Choose 1 Song that features amazing bass guitar playing and/or drumming The songs will be judged in one pool. The winner of Round 21: Really Deep Thoughts will be able to choose 1 partner of their choice to team up with, their other partner decided randomly. The two lowest scoring members of the bottom two teams will meet in the Elimination Sing-Off.
