NOTE TO SELF: Do not undertake anything like this ever again. There’s a reason I don’t partake in any sports pools at work – they’re tedious. Creating and maintaining something similar is no less time-consuming.
That having been said, it’s been interesting and it’s been fun. There have been definite upsets; there have been close calls. Some rankings I got right (the Round Outs battle is between the first and second seeds); some I blew completely (or the Wild Cards lived up to their unexpected expectations). I might have had different (and more varied) outcomes in my mind, but I can’t wait to create the ultimate Final Foursome’s group shot when this is over.
Remember to vote as much as you’d like… and tell your friends!
We’re getting closer to creating the ultimate Final Foursome. Without further babbling, here are the results from Round 2 and the brackets for Round 3!

The Round Outs bracket had a few surprises, and a couple of blow-outs. Plus, it allowed some foursomes to be represented for the first time, and it marked the third winner in a row for some groups.
THE ROUND OUTS (Round 1 Results)
– Eric Cartman (#1) continues South Park’s success at making it to Round 2. He defeated Laa-Laa easily (at the time of this posting), 29-1.
– B.A. Baracus (#2) wiped out Stephen Baldwin (#15), 16-3, making him the second A-Team member in Round 2.
– Much like the kids from South Park, the kids from Liverpool are cleaning up. George Harrison (#3) used Peter Tork (#14) like a mop, 19-1.
– Donatello (#4) became the second Ninja Turtle in Round 2, knocking out the Tin Man (#13), 11-5.
– Princess Toadstool (#5) was the only character I used to defeat Super Mario Bros. 2 (because she floated). Alas, she sunk Johnny “Drama” Chase (#12), one of the Chase Bros. if you will, 12-4.
– The American Idol judges finally have someone on the board! Kara DioGuardi (#11) upsets Elaine Benes (#6), 22-9.
– The same thing goes for my favorite show on television right now! Deandra “Sweet Dee” Reynolds (#10) makes It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia ring true. She defeats Sex and the City’s Charlotte York (#7) barely at 10-8.
– Another bracket champ so far! Egon Spengler (#8) makes it three Ghostbusters still hanging in there. He defeats The Thing (#9), 15-5. Things aren’t looking too fantastic for the Marvel heroes.

Welcome to the Round Outs bracket in the quest to assemble the greatest Final Foursome.
These are the players that “round out” each of their respective groups. They’re the brains, the brawns, the beauties, the talent, the bullies, the Born Again, and the, um, yellow.
