Okay, here's how we'll go from here.

Vote for your top four in this round, and the four biggest vote getters will move on to the final four.

At that point, we'll go survivor mode. You'll pick three of the four and the bottom one will be eliminated. Then you'll pick two of three and the bottom one will be eliminated. And at that, we'll end up with the Gold Medal round.

So right now, vote for four.

That's shocking, right now none of them get in.

Rain Man, in his Denver-living, BBQ-hating ways, intentionally put as many iterations of a BBQ smell into the competition so as to prevent it from making the finals. He knew what he was doing all along.

This is worse than the 2002 Winter Olympics figure skating judging scandal. In fact, it is the moral equivalent of that the Denver Broncos did in the '97 playoff game vs the Chiefs.

Ya know, if we are weeding them out one at a time starting next round, then there's no reason to have a final four. This isn't basketball, maybe we go with a final 5 and then start weeding them out.

I might have to go to the store to get some cinamon rolls you bake up

There's a natural break in the data between 4th and 5th and a near tie between 5th and 6th. I don't think your modification can be justified on the basis of anything other than a grilled meat bias.

Edit: I missed the Hickory and meat entry which is a significantly closer 5th place than I initially believed.

You are the Mark Schlereth to Rain Man's John Elway.

Rain Man is going to mess you up if you don't take that back. Oh, and you owe me an apology since my edit was independent of your response.

I'm not taking it back unless I find that the comparison doesn't make sense. Right now it does.

I don't owe you an apology for your own mistake. Crazy talk.

Were you comparing me to Mark Schlereth because he's known for catching his own mistakes and fixing them almost instantaneously?

I can't believe you're sticking by your Rain Man is Elway comparison. I wouldn't want to be DaFace or anyone else physically near Rain Man when he reads that.

I chose my rhetoric wisely. He likely doesn't realize the extent of his [perhaps subconscious] actions here. So I want him to see just how fraudulent his poll has become. I could have made comparisons to other cheaters, but I chose the one that would sting the most. I mean, I feel betrayed and let down and I think he should know.
