Waffel: It's time for you all to get the heck out of Dodge. MGH: Yeah right. I'm taking first place this round. Better be prepared to catch me if you can. Felicity Smoak: Not so fast. I let the top spot of a previous stage roll right by me when I had it won, and I don't plan on letting that happen again. fw91: *says something in Flemish* *people laugh* Pink Shirt Mod: Have you guys ever heard that mash-up of me winning with "We Are the Champions?" Keep listening. Mr. B Natural: Wow. Now THAT's the American Way of Life. {Spoiler}Freddie Mercury was British. ------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 18JUUUSSST A BIT OUTSIDETELEVISION FROM THE 1950sThe results are in. The first pair of picks from Stage Five sets the stage. The bottom three will be in danger of elimination. We will have two rounds following this to conclude Stage 5. Use the results below to reassess as we move forward with more challenging Pop Culture ventures around the bend. Or, will the next round prove to be down each players' wheelhouse that any of the previous rounds? Prepared to be kept on your toes as we reveal this round's results ... {Spoiler}

==================================================================== ====================================================================It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. This happened on an analog antenna thirty years ago ...Annnnnd cue the cigarette commercial? Who would've thought that people rich enough to have a concession stand near their home pool would be chewing Doublemint Gum? Apparently, in the 80s you didn't have to be the same height or complexion, just white and bare-chested to be confused as a twin. Contestants, after these 80s creepos make their movie, what was the conversation muttered under the doublemint twins' breath? Felicity Smoak: If those are supposed to be twins, why do they only have three nipples between them? Mr. B: Cool, I've never filed two EPO's in one day. fw91: You know, Wendy, you're right: we do have the most genuinely nice, no-ulterior-motive brothers two gals could ask for. Welcome to Round NINETEEN! It's World Series of Pop Culture @midnight Edition!------------------------------------------------------ ROUND NINETEENDOUBLE DIPDOUBLE DIPContestants, it's time for one of my personal favorites of these games. It's the Double Dip round. We've now have 18 rounds of picks from several different angles and several different players. In the World Series of Pop Culture, there are a couple of imaginative ways you can approach this round that is different than FAN Idol. At its core, what we're asking is that you review the list of picks from THIS season on the original post of this thread (thanks once again to Tyger for taking this upon himself) and take something already chosen and feature another clip or usage of your choice from that same original source. Each contestant will enter two picks. Special rules: judges will be given ALL of the 12 picks at once. They will rank them in order from 1-12. However, the way final points for the round will be figured will be to take each contestant's highest ranking entry among the judges and from that will be a set of six scores (ranked 1-6). Then, each contestant's lowest ranking entry among the judges' combined tallies will make up another set of six scores. At the end of it all, the rankings will look identical to the previous round. We have to score it this way so that this round does not have added points values that drown out the impacts from the totals of Round 18 and Round 20. If any of that confuses you, just ask. It's math. Example: I pick Toodle Lou: The Musical and Fancy Pants McDuff: the TV series. Judges 1, 2, 3, and 4 all have Toodle Lou ranked 1st overall out of all 12 entries. Ok, let's say Fancy Pants didn't fare as well and it gets a couple of last place and a couple of 2nd-to-last place votes out of 12. So, what happens is that Toodle Lou will be in the Top set of rankings against each player's top ranking entry (6 total, just like the previous round). Since Toodle Lou got 1st with all judges, it will obviously rank 1st among the other five players' entries for that "Top Bracket" or "Top Set of rankings." (Each individual judge will weigh into the total points just as before. So, I said I got 1st among all judges, so we drop one, and that's a total of 6 points x 3 judges = 18 points for the first pick.) Fancy Pants obviously stunk with the judges, and it will probably rank at the bottom of the second set of scores. Sooooo, even though I rocked it with Toodle Lou's pick, the Fancy Pants pick at the bottom of the second set of rankings will likely even it out for an "average/not great" score for the round. Let's say two judges had it second to last (2 points total) and two judges had it last (one judge dropped and one point from the other judge). That would be a total of 5 points for the second entry. Add the top pick 18 with the 5 points lower-ranked pick, and that's 23 points for the round. It really helps if you look at the previous round's Choice 1 and Choice 2 format to wrap your head around it. The most important part of this round is to pick strong for both picks. They will both operate on their own merits in two separate sets of rankings for this round.It is still certainly possible to rock it with three judges at the top and have one judge who didn't get it and still end up with that pick as your "High Tier" selection. One judge still gets dropped. Heck, you could potentially finish 1-2 overall and that just means you'll like walk away with a fairly huge lead after this round. But not insurmountable, because I've adjusted the points distributions--as stated above--so that it mirrors what would happen if you have a top entry for Choice #1 and Choice #2.

Now that's efficiency y'all. Business is picking up, and it's picking up quick. So quick that one of my first picks was taken less than 20 minutes after the round category was posted.

One replacement, one set of picks out. Maybe tomorrow morning judges get their picks to rank. Appreciate everyone back on track and at a lightning pace.

Told you this game would have twists!
No judges will be dropped this round. Breaking Bad has spoiled two judges from participating this round. It's up to the three other judges. Lots riding on this round. Interesting!

We have five judges.
Four scores are tallied from that set of four (the fourth and fifth judges that submitted have their ranks averaged together).
At the end of all that, the lowest score out of the four gets dropped for each contestant.
All of that has been the case from the get-go. What has happened is that someone pulled a True Detective and submitted a clip that will ruin Breaking Bad if someone watches it that hasn't watched it all before. Two of our judges are opting out of judging because they haven't made it to the end yet. My previous post was in reference to that. What now happens is that the three remaining judges who are NOT opting out will be the only three scores and there can be no dropped score in that case. So no lowest score dropped rule for this round.
It's a twist I didn't expect. But we roll with what we have.
