Having a more themed list seems to have its advantages, eh? What do the call letters stand for?

The names of the drafting members, KiNgMyC, Kingzrool, ryanandty, and D-Mass. The W stands for the western affiliation.

 

[Emma]

You know, I would watch D-mass's programs all the time. It's the kind of station that you just turn the TV to and every once in a while, between tasks, you look up and learn something. Too bad he's my competitor.

 

[D-Mass]

Hmm....this seems to be happening to me a lot this year. I get a fairly high seed, then lose in an early round. Where are all of the people who ranked me high? Come out of the woodwork, people!

Then again, I'm losing to a list that I like very much. Personally, ryanandty, I think you should be ranked much higher than 11th.

 

[Emma]

Hey, did you notice? No reality TV shows in my lineup. Well, besides Mythbusters and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I think what hurts my list is the lack of a fake news show ala The Colbert Report. I was hoping that the variety shows (Muppet Show and Sabado Gigante) would pick up the slack.

 

[VF21]

This was the toughest set of first-round matchups for me to vote on. I had favorite shows on each of the four lists; the dfiference for me finally came down to a complicated +/- system where I gave points for shows I really liked and took away points for shows I didn't like. Shows I was ambivalent about or I had never heard of weren't counted. Even then, it came down to a difference of only two points.

 

[Jespher]

Congrats D-Mass. See you in round 2.

Looks like we have a tie between KiNgMyC and Kingzrool. We'll have a tie-breaker 1 day runoff ASAP. Please PM me a top 5 list of your shows (order specific) for the citizens of Kingstown to vote on. Thanks.

Good job D-mass.

I just hope people got a good little peek into my personal tastes in these drafts.

Thanks! It's pretty tough to beat Star Trek, Mythbusters, Sesame Street, and the Muppet Show...I would have loved those on my list!

 

[Kingzrool]

Somehow I missed this and did not get to vote for myself. That would have avoided a tie. Oh well, I'll send my 5.
