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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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