VARSITY
In case you're curious, here's a summary through Heat 131 of the scenes that are moving on to the next round.

These all have a pass to Round 2 because they obtained the highest percentage in their heat or because they tied for the highest percentage. I list them in descending order of the percentage of votes that they received. Of course, the percentage is based on the power of the scene, but also on the quality of the competition it faced. So there are some powerful scenes that are lower on the list if they faced tough competition, and some weaker ones could rise higher if they were in a patsy heat.

Further down, I list a handful of scenes that are battling for a wild card spot.

Because we've had several ties and a few late additions, I'm not sure exactly how many wild cards will get in. It'll be an amount that makes a nice even number in the number of Round 2 heats.
