That's pretty much the same decision making logic my wife uses

Given the details of the 70s tourney, I'm abstaining from voting in Numbers v d,t
Stip - This is another number to number tie. But Stip has Tangled Up in Blue and Martha.
DeLima - When in doubt, vote Stevie Wonder. Also, Working Class Hero is pretty great. Those two won this match.

But... "When in doubt, vote Stevie Wonder"

?!?

Yeah.....Wonder is right

You're wrong. One of these nights is a damn good tune.

REAL TALK: I specifically did NOT pick an Eagles song because I knew it would jeopardize the Chud vote.

I love the fucking eagles, chud's vote not withstanding.

Bugs
myself
Kaius
DeLima

These were all close, especially the first one.

I'm saying it again...I can't say I understand the "tournament" style voting where the presentation/play/action remains static. I mean, the choices aren't changing. And it's for the most part, the same people voting........why can't we be presented with the teams' choices one time and then just rank them?

I do understand the use of the tournament style scoring or tallying where each round is dynamic, for instance, in the song contests. Each round was a new song competing against another new song.


oh wait, maybe there is fun in what we're doing here

again....





















































never mind

I am pretty confident I could draft a team of chud's 10 favorite 80s songs and not get his vote. I am currently researching what they are to test that theory

Knee Tunes requested a text when it was her turn. If anyone wants a text just send me a number. Please let me know if you are comfortable sharing it with the people who would normally be alerting you when it is your turn

Do not, I repeat DO NOT pick a Don Henley song.

tallying

Damn it, more ties! (I assume--given my history someone should doublecheck my math)

Bugs over Varis 9-6
Numbers/Dct 7-7
Stip/Kaius 7-7
Delima over Rangi 10-5


Since we have two ties I'm going to leave this open until 9pm est tonight.

I have numbers over me: 7-6

I need to double check, but I'm also showing Stip over Kaius 8-5

It's 8-6

Good job Bugs - I knew my run couldn't last. Go get 'em!

Bugs (Tough one!)
Dct (Another tough one. Good lord. I think Joeys Big Star big sealed it for me though. And then you just cant beat helpless and let it be. Okay maybe this wasn't so tough. Great teams though)
Stip
Delima

Welp
9-6
