OT: Ms. TMB Bracket Poll Winner - Raquel Welch!

[Midnighter]

If you know, you know. The most ambitious and meaningless poll in McAndrew Board history has a new home. Will try to have a couple of polls later today. With the exception of Bracket IV, all other polls are in the Elite Eight. So, will try to finish the Sweet 16 for it first before getting back to Bracket I.

You know how we do.

Grand ambition.

 

[Goldbanger]

I do believe this would be a clear violation of "Nittany Lounge Forum Rules."

@Midnighter needs a couple more trophies for his work.

Barbara Eden was smoking hot back in the day. Great opening bracket for ON3, Midnighter.

BTW, T-minus 16 days and counting until the Wheel of Time series kicks off. Bezos told his minions "I want my own "Game of Thrones," and Amazon is spending beacoup bucks to try and make that happen.

Be sure to "Like" his posts. Below is the way Trophy Points are earned. Any guess who'll be the 1st to 1000 posts?

Awesome! So, will this be bingeable? Or will it be a weekly release? I think the weekly release really helped with GoT, but it's passé these days to do that. What worked so well in GoT was a not very complicated mythology. Sure, they overwhelmed you with 'history', but the magic part was relatively simple - few if anyone can do it, and there are ice zombies and dragons. WoT I think has a lot of lore related to magic and stuff so it will have a delicate line to walk.

I'm not sure, but my guess is weekly installments. Reports I have read about WOT is that they want the series to go 6-7 seasons. GOT went, what, 5 seasons? And there is a considerable amount of material to cover in WOT if they want to give it a full exposition.

Re Ms. BWI, I'm trying to think if there has been a bigger mismatch than the current Keri Russell vs. Jessica Alba matchup. (I seem to recall that you had one with Cher in it. She likely got slaughtered, but I do not recall her opponent or the margin.)

What would you suggest for a trophy polish ?

Gotta be honest - really thought the Tantot Twins would pull that one off. I am guessing Stone got the benefit of home cookin'

Yeah, it was a close one - 109-100. Aniston got blown out; 163-103.

Elle McPherson vs. Anniston is like Alabama vs. Vanderbilt. In football. It's not "if", it's "by how much".

It was one of the closer races I recall in the poll. A day (or perhaps 2) before the poll ended, the twins were tied with Ms. Stone. I believe that Sharon was 4 votes ahead on the morning of the last day of the poll, and I posted a bump that informed folks that the poll would end at 1 something that afternoon. It appears that the few that did add their votes that day voted for Sharon.

More nonsense than the Heisman voting.

No way the twins lost. Let me guess the eye test put stone in? Stupid committee.

I think the eyes in general are an issue - remember, Phoebe Cates lost three times in this poll.

Have we established that, in the current political environment, all polls are rigged?
