Round III begins today. I am done with moving and travel so this should continue at a normal pace going forward.

To help facilitate watching the episodes (for people interested) we are going to cut back to 4 matches rather than 8.

ST, you should post some stats about how each season of the show is doing.

We're in the top 32, and every one of these matches is really tough except for Das Bus/Treehouse of Horror. Das Bus is a solid episode, but it's starting to get outclasses by what's left

The four matches you just put up are all easy decisions for me.
