Round 4 Week 2

Only 8 icons remain, and a few more teams join me in the "complete" pile. Lora has jumped into the lead as she cashes in points for Grover and Kermit (really? Both Muppets eliminated?), tying the "best of the rest" team at 19 points.

Hutch and Melephant also are on the outs, with 12 and 11 points total, respectively.

The most observant among you will notice that Winnie the Pooh was given to two teams (BaconWrapped and Melephant). You would think it would be easy to make sure this didn't happen, but I managed to bungle it, and didn't notice until Round 1 was well underway, and so made an executive desision to allow the teams to persist the way people were told they would be.

Round 5 is one week only. I predict more company on the list of "finished" teams!

moxywoman didn't have mulder on her team?

Moxy told me that she picked icons she thought had the most potential instead of "picking with her heart".

Maybe I ought to have taken that advice...

Yeah, that sounds smart.
I should have done that too.
Vive les sous-chiens!

i know a-bear. i know.

i WANTED to pick Mulder, but in the end i knew that my beloved G-man didn't have what it took to take down Bugs Bunny. i kept thinking about his propensity towards dropping his damn gun and thought: 'Nope. Can't do it.'

the team i would have picked with my heart would have been fun, but long gone.

Mulder
Calvin
Mal Reynolds
Dr. Who
Gollum
Buffy
Arthur Dent
