Lesser men would have physically attacked people, but Tyger is not a lesser man.
Seriously, good on him for agreeing to take over so quickly after finishing up last season.

The judges have reached a decision for Sing-Off #17. The verdict was not unanimous and, with this elimination, we will have our final three contestants for Season IX of FAN Idol. The Sing-off contestants are no strangers to each other and have participated in many Seasons as players, judges, and, in Pegasus Warrior's case, host. They were invaluable last Season as judges and they have added a great deal to the current one. Regardless of who moves on, we will have to say good bye to a contestant who had a very good shot at winning the entire competition. To reach this far, through many demanding categories and among a shifting panel of judges, says a lot about someone's musical knowledge and gamesmanship. So, while someone will be eliminated, at this point there are simply no losers. Orangetuan. Pegasus Warrior. Please step forward. For Sing-Off #17, Orangetuan selected Shaking in the Water by The Xcerts, while Pegasus Warrior countered with Live's aptly titled Selling the Drama. Earning three votes to two, the winner, advancing to the Final Three of FAN Idol Season IX, joining Felicity Smoak and Thank You Based Suave is... {Spoiler} Orangeutan!!!Congratulations on moving on! Fantastic and risky song choice at this late point in the game. Keep it up and you'll be tough to beat!
That means that, unfortunately, we will have to say goodby to Pegasus Warrior.
FAN Idol Contestants/Followers new to FAN Idol might not know that Pegasus Warrior was the Host of the first complete Season of FAN Idol, won by Widow's Peak. He was also Season II's winner and would go on to win Season VII. Outside of Anonymous GM, he is the only multi-time winner and has been a judge and host as well. So, when one thinks of FAN Idol, one should also think about Pegasus Warrior. He played an amazing game this Season, adding a great deal of diversity to the song lists produced for each Round and helped the game to move on smoothly, so let's all give a round of applause to Pegasus Warrior!!!
On a happier note, that means that, with Peg's elimination, we will be guaranteed a NEW FAN IDOL, something that hasn't happened since Season V!!!

He's said this on the elimination of others, so I think it only appropriate to return the favor on the occasion of his.
Everybody, round of freakin' applause to Pegasus Warrior! Consistently came up with some of my favorite songs in the entire competition, went through all these different Rounds and gimmicks without missing a step, and never really settled into a rut where he'd pick a particular kind of song.
So again, standing ovation for Peg. Fantastic job man.

So, we now have our Final Three Contestants! {Spoiler} Felicity Smoak. Orangeutan. Thank You Based Suave. This is what the Round structure will be moving forward: The contestant with highest combined Round 43 and 44 score will move on to the Finale. The remaining two contestants will Face-Off in an additional Round in order to determine who will meet the other contestant in the Finale. So, let's make this a showdown for the ages!

sigh.... Selling The Drama was my biggest markout of the season. Why doesn't Live ever do as good as they should in these competitions? Tremendous band, and Throwing Copper is one of my favorite albums Round of applause for Peg. Great run through the game

Yeah, that was one of the toughest votes I've ever had to make, but one song just edged it out for me over the other.
Honestly no matter who lost here we were going to lose a quality contestant in the process. That just speaks to how far we've come in this game and how talented everybody still in the game is in terms of musical acumen. Everybody who has made it this far has absolutely earned the right to be here, and to be the latest FAN Idol.
It's a shame though because Peg always provided some great stuff with his submissions. Gonna miss listening to the stuff he had up his sleeve.

Peg, you've been a fantastic contestant throughout this entire game, and you definitely deserve to be here more than me. You played a fantastic game, man!

1 out of 3 quartets of songs are in for Round 43: Judges' Round II. I'm hoping the other two contestants will get their songs in soon. I'll reveal Round 44 sometime tomorrow. I want to give them some time to consider what to pick but they need to get on board this Round first. We only have three more Rounds after this, so I don't want to spend too much time on this one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the winner of this round automatically advance to the Final? I think that's how it went last Season.

This Season it'll be the combined total of two Rounds and then a Round after that for the other two contestants. That was one thing that I think I could've improved on Last Season, in that if you did well in one Round, you made it to the Finale and, conversely, if you did poorly, you were up for elimination. This way is more fair.

So what you're saying is that I'm reinstated? I imagine that you'll find some way to ultimately win, yes. Maybe popping out of a giant birthday cake for Roxie, with a bunch of legal papers declaring your reinstatement. 2 out of 3 contestants have their quartet of songs in, with the other needing only one more song. Going to announce the next Round in the next post; give me a moment.

Honestly I'm surprised Peg hasn't jumped at the opportunity to be a judge yet. I'd be interested to see where my opinions line up with his.

The contestant with the highest combined Round 42 and 43 point total will receive their spot in the Finale. Round 43, then, will be the last time that the Final Three Contestants will compete against each other. After all these Rounds, after a year plus of gaming, after 2 Hosts, 11 Judges, and 21 contestants we have finally reached Round 43: The End Choose 4 songs that fulfill the following categories related to Endings:1 Song from the Final Album of a Band or Solo Artist that has officially retired (passed away, disbanded, retired, etc.) 1 Song that is the Final Track from an album by a Band or Solo Artist (cannot be from a compilation album; live concert album would be acceptable) 1 Song that references an aspect of time (Songs that reference a specific year/decade/century etc.; Songs that reference a month or day of the week or a unit of time like a second, minute, hour; Songs that reference a holiday or other event day; Songs that reference time; and so forth) and 1 Song that deals with the End of the World (can be about the End of the World as a specific concept; could be about something that causes the End of the World: widespread disease, war, natural disaster, zombies, and so forth; could be a song that you feel would play during the End of the World)
