  1. I voted Morgan #1, Joey the Rat, and Farkle Minkus.

    Seriously this may be the biggest bloodbath yet; if Yogi and/or Aubrey make it through, I'll eat my plaster cast of a Sasquatch footprint.

    1. The award for Bloodiest Slaughter is currently held by the "Turner vs Harper" matchup. These might get close.

  2. Morgan #2, Joey, Farkle.

    This whole round feels very lopsided.

    1. It is. The decision came down to having a fairly predictable first round or starting with a 32 man bracket and having to deal with a lot of "why did you leave out ___?" There's a few good ones though. Eli/Bolander is way closer than anybody would have thought.

  3. Morgan #2, Joey and Minkus.

    Lindsay's Morgan seemed to have a real personality as opposed to the little witch of a girl that was Lily. Joey was always funny and sadly Yogi really doesn't do much but smile. Minkus is great and Debby Ryan's character was not. That and I don't really think Debby is a particularly good actress, though I have to give her props for putting up with 7 years of terrible Disney shows.

    1. Hey now--while I admit "Suite Life on Deck" wasn't a great show, its finale was one of the most iconic in Disney history. The twins, and London and Moseby, had been together on two shows over six years. It was very cathartic.

  4. Yup, I'm going to be the only one voting for Aubrey.

  5. A thought occurs to me, and seeing as the Morgans are dueling in this round, might as well bring it up:

    Could Cory and Morgan be estranged from each other, for one reason or another?

    We've seen Eric and Josh a fair few times (Though it's curious that Eric and Morgan weren't mentioned in the Christmas episode. Sure actually having them would be too crowded, but a mention would be nice). We have not heard so much as a mention of Morgan. I don't think it's that believable but it'd be a change of pace if nothing else and allow a foil for Riley's amicable relationship with Auggie.

  6. 2, Joey, and Farkle.

    I like both Mrogans equally, but the second one got actual storylines and dare I even say character development.

    I actually dont mind Yogi. It's nice having one of the kids in class regularly appear with a real name and everything, but not be a part of the main group. That said he doesn't hold a candle to The Rat.

    Farkle is dearly underrated IMHO, but surely not enough to be defeated by whats-her-face.
