I wonder who picked the Chrono Trigger scene? Waffel or Mr. B I can't tell from the write up.

I knew that whoever picked that Daily Show clip was probably going to advance. A great pick.
Sad to see Waffel go, but it easily could've gone the other way. In fact I'm surprised it didn't. Well played all the same, my friend.
Going to be very interesting to see how things progress from here.

I wonder who picked the Chrono Trigger scene? Waffel or Mr. B I can't tell from the write up. My fault on that. It was Mr. B Natural. I'm going to wait until tomorrow morn to try to post a new round. Exhausted and not on my A-game. Bask in the glory of an exciting Stage Five we just witnessed for a couple more hours while I sleep. Else, I know I'll mess something up as I post the next round.

Glad one of the Judges ranked Blood in the Water 2nd. I figured I'd be pressing my luck if I chose it, but we did Legally Blonde at my school recently, and since it was a great experience for me, I wanted to pay tribute to it somehow. Best of luck to our final four contestants! Whoever wins this has definitely earned it.

AS a guy from an entertainment performance background and is currently in law school, this wasn't going to be lower than 2 for me.

==================================================================== ====================================================================It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. This happened on YouTube today ...Well, far be it from us to make light of a tragedy, but the interviewer doesn't seem to mind. Roll that clip again please, and tell me those aren't dollar sign eyes. Or "is this really happening" spit-take lips. Contestants, aside from tears in an interview, tell us something else that has never happened to Kanye before. MGH: After liking a video, instead of rushing a stage and being a douche, he put a ring on it. MR B NATURAL: Auto-tuning ... an instrument that he can play. FW91: Failing to get it up for Kim. And by "it," I mean the life-sized cardboard cut-out of himself at the foot of the bed during whoopee. Welcome to World Series of Pop Culture STAGE SIX. We are now TWENTY-ONE ROUNDS into this competition. The bar is raised and the game is tougher and fresher (perhaps?). It's time for another @midnight EDITION! -------------------------------------------------------------- CHOICE #1WELL, THAT'S A FIRSTWELL, THAT'S A FIRSTThis theme is open to any Pop Culture medium.Contestants, for your first choice this evening, you are to make a submission that features the FIRST time a character makes an appearance within that particular Pop Culture franchise or representative body of work. We are looking for debuts/first appearances only. Please limit your selections to under 6 minutes for this category. ------------------------------------------ CHOICE #2THE STRIP IN QUESTIONTHE STRIP IN QUESTIONThis theme is specific to the Pop Culture Medium of COMIC STRIPS.This one has been missing from our game thus far. In order to stifle the Google game slightly and to make the category much more than just "pick a comic strip," we are looking for a comic strip in which the final line uttered by a character is a question OR the strip itself features a question being asked and then addressed in full. We are not looking for a comic book, mind you. This is for comic strips. Might take some digging (or hopefully thinking more than anything), but that's not why it's chosen. A well-rounded Pop Culture guru might reflect back on this particular medium and conjure up a winner from their frequent exposure to this "other" genre of our game. ----------------------------------------- CHOICE #3COMMERCIALS FROM THE 70sCOMMERCIALS FROM THE 70sThis theme is specific to ADVERTISING/COMMERICALS across any Pop Culture medium.Keeping in line with Stage 5's "directness" for the final category of each round (and the randomness of the "time-hopping" rather than going in decade order), for your third choice, the category is as direct as it sounds. Choose a commerical or advertisement that originated in the 1970s. Simple as that.

Our Final Four have begun Stage Six with another set of diverse picks. The range is another reason they stand here among us. Anything can happen with any Choice a contestant makes. And this round is an example of that. Someone might find himself at the bottom with one choice and find themselves among the alphas of the herd with two rebound results with the other two picks. There is little room for error, however. With everyone facing the pressure of Bottom Two head-to-head, and not only that but the idea that an auto-elimination IS a possibility by the end of Round 23, each selection is critical for advancing to the Final. WELL, THAT'S A FIRSTIn this category, contestants featured a character's first appearance. The judge weighed in and the leader after one category and their first impression with the judges during this Stage looked like this ... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}] THE STRIP IN QUESTIONWe haven't had a comic strip submission yet. Lots of opportunities for contestants to have used them thus far in the game, but no appearances yet. It's only fitting that this category follows our "First Appearance" category. Here were the results of those selections ... {Spoiler}{Spoiler} COMMERCIALS OF THE 70sSo, with the rankings varying for our contestants in the first two Choices, could one person stand out above the rest. Would two take the lead? Can the person that finds themselves at the bottom keep pace to avoid the auto-elimination? After Round 21, the leaderboard now looks like this ... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}

It's really weird that I was listening to a podcast the other day (can't remember which one, there's so many in my queue) and they were talking about the relationship between Aunt May and Doc Ock. And damned if a Spiderman strip with Doc Ock and Aunt May doesn't show up in this game. I'm really getting weirded out over here.

Wow @ Doc Oc coincedence!
--------------------------
Amazing job with the timeliness of our judges! Much appreciated by one and all! Very consistent participation this season overall. Can't let that go unrecognized.
---------------------------
I have to wait to hear back from a player before I post the next Round. Categories and such ready. Just be patient while I do the thing the game mod has to do. I'll post the new round as soon as I can.
