All in all ended up with a solid elite 8 imo.

The south is surprising to me.

Eric's prediction bracket is dead last of the group who sent them in...

GoT not being there is the most shocking thing to me.

A comedy sketch show going this far is insane. Really stupid tbqh. But the people have the voice and well here we are.

The content is good enough. It’s elite. My issue is 28 half hour episodes in which 1/2 of each episode was commercials and misc content. The longevity just isn’t there.

I think the vast majority of the shows in this tournament have provided great to elite content.  I agree with you when we dive deeper into the shows.  You make a great point about him producing 20 minutes of content for 28 episodes.   Compare that to GoT and do the math.  20min x 28eps / 60min gives you 9.3 full length GoT episodes.   So if you hated the last two years of Thrones they still provided 4x the content at the very same level of Dave's.

Yes you were, its literally what the OP says the link is for.    With that said I respect you went in a different direction.  The league thinks you have bad taste in TV shows.

the op and you in shout said multiple mutually exclusive things about what the tournament was for and what it was based on, including but not limited to the best tv shows, what you and dirt thought were the best tv shows, what objective criteria said were the best tv shows, and what an open vote said were the best tv shows, and all of those have distinct implications for what our bracket submissions were supposed to entail

given the complete lack of clarity and your active refusal to face those questions en pòd, i specifically titled my bracket "shows that should actually advance"

the truth is still out there
