Most of them will get knocked out in the next two rounds, but season 8 is stronger than I remember it being.

[Simple Torture]

The only surprising thing about that spread--at first--was the big drop off in Season 7. But after quickly scanning the episode list, I think 8 is definitely better overall.

Great use of stats!

[stip]

3 of those were decided by a point. It's getting close!

[stip]

at this point I'm going to stop including the episode bios unless people miss them.

thanks for putting on this tournament, guys

Lemon of Troy beating Kamp Krusty is a fucking outrage. You people are nuts. Lemon of Troy is one of the most overrated episodes of the series, while Kamp Krusty is top 5 material.

[E.H. Ruddock]

calm down pete

[Norah]

This is an outrage!

[LoathedVermin72]

Nope, Lemon of Troy is much better.

[Jorge]

I'm more outraged about "Homer's Enemy" losing. Or I would be if I could muster up any strong feelings about this endless slog.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Pete gets it. I watched Lemon of Troy last week, and while it was still very good, it wasn't as amazing as I remembered it.

It would have been better as a season 2 episode.

Rightly confirming the dominance of Seasons 5 and 6, probably the best two seasons of television of all time.

[Norah]

I'm still angry about Lemon of Troy beating Kamp Krusty.

It's a good group. Not the final 8 I would have chosen, but I can't really look at that list and say something doesn't belong there.

[Simple Torture]

These should be the quarter finals, not the semi finals, right?

[stip]

yeah, probably. I don't even know anymore
