Ah well I knew I was screwed in the bottom two for not knowing much about Football but you know what I had a lot of fun in this game so no hard feelings.
I'm a bit disappointed in my performance last few rounds I tried my best and it wasn't good enough.
Congrats Sweet 'n Sour for still being alive in this I wish you all the luck in the world as I do every other contestant.
Also to Z-A Sandbaggin I'm sorry for posting some of the picks I would of used I didn't really think those picks would be unusable by me posting them I hope you can forgive me for that.
Its been fun guys I'll still be keeping my eye on this game and maybe even playing along by myself you know after the theme gets announced I'll probably search Youtube to see what I would of used if I was still in the game, I wont post nothing though so don't worry about that I'll just do it for fun.
I really love this game and hope to see it come back for another season sometime because it was really fun thanks for letting me be apart of it and God bless you all.

Wow...2 Eli Manning plays. What are the odds? If I were guessing, I'd say identical to those odds of Eli Manning having two Super Bowl rings vs. Peyton Manning's one. {Spoiler}In other words, not high.

Small gripe. And I usually don't gripe. But can we PLEASE not post potential choices that didn't get chosen. The reason I say that is because by listing them you kinda make them dead. It makes us not be able to use them and if you show a pick that someone may have potentially waiting on a chance to be used then it's pretty s***ty for them. Like I said, I understand why you'd wanna say this woulda worked better or I thought about using this one, but just think about it. Don't actually do it. Again I'm not trying to be a dick by saying something. But I've seen this way more in this game than ever in idol. So if we could cut this out I would be happy. And isn't that what we all want. For me to be happy. That was something I was extremely mindful of in the last game, but now... I guess I'm kinda dropping the ball there because it's not just songs, but everything is in play.

[glow=gray,2,300]WELCOME TO ROUND EIGHT![/glow]READ CAREFULLY PLEASENow, contestants, we are down to 7. This round, please take note: you will be submitting two choices since the field has been reduced. At the end of this round, there will be a Bottom 2 and that Bottom 2 will be going head-to-head into an elimination challenge just as we’ve done in rounds previously. If you are in the Bottom 2 and you have exhausted your category theme, then one of the judges will be selecting the Death Match category for you and will announce it in the main thread once results are posted. Again, this is only if you find yourself in the lead at the bottom 2 and you have already exhausted your choice in theme. Please pay attention to both of this round's themes: Number 1: I’m Melllllting … Melllllting…This is a NON-MEDIUM-SPECIFIC round. Choices can come from any realm of pop culture.Contestants, this round you will submit your favorite choice of a meltdown/someone losing it. There are many different ways someone could “lose it,” so just try to think in terms of the more aggressive form of losing it and capture a phenomenal clip where someone has reached the point of no return and has that classic meltdown moment. We’re not looking for tear-jerking scenes here where someone has “the big cry” type of meltdown. As long as you’re avoiding the dramatic cry/passive types of meltdowns, you should be fine. Number 2: Did I Do Thaaaat?!This is a NON-MEDIUM-SPECIFIC round. Choices can come from any realm of pop culture.Contestants, this round will be all about Unintentional Comedy. Simply select a clip that features a moment from any pop culture medium you desire in which something is done that was not overtly for the purpose of comedy, but boy, was it sure hilarious. As always, you have to keep it fresh. No picks this round specifically from any of the previously used picks. If you have a question about this, feel free to let me know. For instance, we’ve used the TV show Friends, so don’t use a clip from that show again. You submit your picks to pegasuswarrior and Cageking via PM (both of us just in case one of us were to go missing in action for an annoying period of time so that the other one could pick up the slack). We'll sort it out, send it to the judges, and all that. Haven’t seen Cageking lately, but I’m still around, so it seems to be working alright. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ALSO, when you send your PMs, please include the actual web address link of the pick you choose. This would reduce my management time 10 minutes or so, no joke. You can still embed the videos, but you MUST copy and paste a link in there -- definitely helps me out. Please submit your picks in the following format: Artist – Title of Song Ex: Animaniacs – Countries of the World www.youtube.com/PLEASE-QUIT-EMBEDDING-WITHOUT-INCLUDING-THE-LINKS-TOOAgain, if you have a question, just ask. Deadline is Monday night. I would like to sort it all out and send to judges by Tuesday morning. Reminder: we have had two Mulligans used thus far in the game. This option will not be available the entire game. Your use of Mulligan is exhausted once we are down to 5 contestants. You can’t use a Mulligan for both categories above, only one. That being said, I’m not begging you to use it this round or any particular round. Just reminding you all that you can use it in a round when you feel vulnerable to lower rankings than you normally might get with just one pick. Good luck to everyone. I’m thinking this is gunna get goooooooood.

Oh man these are some good categories its a shame I've been eliminated I've already got some good choices in mind for this. In fact I think I have a perfect choice for Unintentional Comedy dag nabbit.
Good luck to the remaining contestants I'm sure you'll all have fun choosing your entries this round I know I would.
Don't worry I promise I'm not going to post anything about what I would of sent in I really can't wait to see what everybody does send in this round.

My Picks are in. I"m fairly certain they won't be duplicated... i'd be surprised if they were.
And guys that replied to my little rant, i wasn't trying to be all like bitchy or anything. It was just something that always was frowned upon in IDOL and i kinda consider this a spin off of that.

Picks in, Meltdown was very simple to find, comedy a little less so... I hope no one beat me to either because I think they're both winners.

I know for sure which meltdown I would have picked for this round and I'm going to be disappointed if no one uses it.

3. Weird Al- Gump: It's probably a bit blasphemous but I'm not that big of a Weird Al fan. I despise "The Saga Begins" because it's a contrived Star Wars referencefest that parodies a truly beautiful and deep song, an incredibly brave and unconventional one, about the death of heroes. That said, here he's on fire. It's amazing just how well the parody matches up with "Lump"; what fine writing, what deft echoing of the original's beat. The "Run Forrest, run!" moment was dead on accurate to the song; the rhyming of "Bubba was shrimp loving man/ his friend with no legs he calls Lt. Dan" was amazing. Weird Al chocks reference after reference to Forrest Gump but it really works. It's not overblown, it's not tedious, but it legitimately works as a song. You need to know the references but, if you do, it's fantastic. Glad you like Gump. Would it change your mind about The Saga Begins to know that Don McLean is a big fan of the parody and has admitted that he sometimes catches himself singing Al's lyrics when performing American Pie on stage? Not really because, right or wrong, I don't like the song for that reason. I'm a party pooper, I know. I also preferred the 3rd-and-Long - Giants reach Super Bowl pick because, while the other play was mind-blowingly amazing, it was a bit of incredible luck too. The 3rd and Long play was an instance of just a perfectly executed play and that resonated stronger for me.

Awkward silence, I know. Contesants needed a while to dig on this one. I've sent the picks I have to the judges though.

This is probably the overall best round of submissions I've seen. Interested to see the results!

Judges results now in. I will post as soon as I can get things compiled. I'm out of town, so I'll do the best I can tomorrow morning. This is certainly where our co-host could've come in handy.

This is the first round where I have the feeling that my rankings could vastly differ from the other judges. Obviously, other rounds didn't have a hive mentality but this one... damn, my top rankings could very well differ completely from every one else and I don't mean that to come off as a snob or anything, just that this was a tough, tough round. Props to the FAN scavengers on this one for dealing with tough categories and giving us such high quality choices.

Results tonight, I'm thinking. Got half done. If you only knew where I was at, you'd be impressed that I'm even able to get that much done. Sure, one day delay this time is on me. But it's the first time. Compiling all of this isn't the easiest, especially like I said, when I'm hip deep in what I'm hip deep in.

Sorry for the delay. I had planned on having them up sooner, but I was waiting for one set of rankings to come in and it through my weekend schematic off a little bit. No biggie, I hope. I can't make the time for a lengthy write-up, but I do have results compiled after adjustments here and there. Below are the rankings for each round: {Spoiler} ![](http://i39.tinypic.com/17tu80.jpg) And our Top 6 standings: {Spoiler} ![](http://i39.tinypic.com/308gk81.jpg) Junkenstein is eliminated because he never sent in a pick. Now, we have a bottom two head-to-head to cut for the prestigious Top 5. For the bottom 2: Since {Spoiler}Brainbustaah is at the top of our Bottom 2, the category he has selected is Swordfights. It is not medium-specific, so any realm of pop culture will go on this one. Show us your flair for swordfights in Pop Culture, and away we gooooo...
