Terminator and James Bond have tied.

Everyone hates the Terminator and Wolverine.

But the Terminator is also the only opponent that can perhaps best Wolverine. Also, if they face each other, they can destroy each other.

Option 1: Award Bond the victory. Wolverine probably wins the tournament.

Option 2: Award Bond the victory, dump Wolverine.

Option 3: Award Terminator the victory. Chance of Wolverine and Terminator killing each other.

Eliminate Wolverine and Terminator.

Hold a round between Bond and whoever faced Wolverine.

Winner moves on.

Bond could take Wolverine.

Much easier than the T-800 could. His claws could decapitate the Terminator in one slice.

Why do people hate Wolverine? He is awesome, but I would say he is unbeatable. Maybe just give him the gimme, and decide the winner of second place. My vote would be Bond to beat the Terminator.

BTW, as it pertains to the outcome of the Bond v. Terminator battle, I hope we're combining the first two options' votes. Otherwise the poll unfairly favors T-800.

Stop trying to change the rules after the tournament has already begun.

All that needs to be done is to determine a suitable tie breaker for the match up between The Terminator and 007 . . . and then proceed as planned.

If you don't like the results of this tournament, start a new (and more restrictive one) afterward. Perhaps you would enjoy it if they all competed in their birthday suits without benefit of weapons or gadgets...

I think the fact that the Terminator has come within a vote of losing here is proof that everyone is vulnerable.

Ditto. Figure out a way to break the tie. Figuring out some stupid way to rig this contest or arbitrarily throw people out because you don't like what's happening is dumb. You need to include a "none of the above, find a way to break the tie" option. (These 3 options would also presumably split the "I like James Bond!" vote, if that matters)

If Wolverine wins, fine so be it. That is not an invalid outcome, and if people "hated" him he wouldn't receive votes.

Tie breaker. Bond has an even number of letters (4), The Terminator has an odd number of letters (13). Use the last digit of the Dow at tomorrows closing bell. Even number, Bond wins, odd number The Terminator wins.

The majority will not be satisfied with a Terminator or Wolverine asterisk-esque victory of the whole Herolympics due to the fact that neither of them should have been allowed in in the first place, so just eliminate them both.

McClane, Batman, Bond, and Jason Bourne advance. Batman would face McClane and Bond would face Bourne.

Batman would beat Wolverine. He'd survive long enough to figure out Wolverine has regenerative healing and indestructible bones, but that the connective tissue is vulnerable. He'd then find a way to sever Wolverine's arms and legs knowing that they could be reattached later when Wolverine was properly restrained.

Bond's getting jobbed based on some serious Chicago politics here.

We have dead bodies voting for the terminator then a 'runoff' vote that's stacked against Bond by creating the possibility of a vote split.

Bond has to advance. The tourny continues unmolested.

Quit fucking with the rules because you don't like the outcome.

right now theres 20 votes for bond, and only 13 for terminator... yet terminator is ahead due to split vote...

So, 62.86% of those who have voted want 007 to go on to the next round, but The Terminator might go on based upon plurality of vote.

This poll = FUBAR.

That is why we apply fuzzy math to it. Bond has 24 votes and Terminator only has 14.

This tie breaker poll was asinine from the start. Like I said, just put them both through to the next round and have a 3 way battle royale vote.

This isn't as FUBAR as you think. It looks like option 1 is going to prevail anyway, which takes care of the majority vote for Bond and the bitching about changing the tournament.

It looks like option 1 is going to prevail anyway?!

What poll are you looking at? Option 1 is still down with less than 45 minutes to go. If the poll was closed right now, The Terminator would advance even though only 15 of 39 respondents indicate they believe he should advance. 24 of 39 respondents indicate Bond should advance.

The poll is FUBAR--and you know it.

Just relax. I'll probably take one of the suggestions for moving three contestants on to the next round. Seems that's the only way to prevent massive bitching.

Bullshit. Your poll is so flawed it is absurd.

You only gave one option for the Terminator to win. That option included a stupid and unnecessary clause that suggests that person also wants Wolverine and Terminator to kill each other. You have no way of knowing that people who want The Terminator to win also want Wolverine thrown into another unnecessary match up. Truth be told, people who are voting for the Terminator probably have no problem with Wolverine being in this tournament because they clearly don't have the narrow definition of "hero" that you do.

Wolverine won his match up against John McClane. He is one of the three heroes in the final four.

All you need to do is set up a rematch of Bond vs. The Terminator to create the final competitor. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

I'll give you one more opportunity to do what is right before I just set up the correct poll myself and offer the true alternate ending to this tournament. Everybody sees through your ruse. Wolverine won his match up and is irrelevant to the Terminator/007 confilct...

I understand that sentiment, but more people voted for Wolverine than McClane when given the opportunity to do so putting you in the minority on that issue.

This vote needs to be about the tie--nothing else--to determine who is the final participant in the final four.

That is part of the inconsistency of this tournament though. People will vote for their favorites and then all of the sudden decide they want to vote for who would win in a fight. Then they go back to voting for favorites. Whatever is convenient to them at the time.
