RD's Probable Final Four
- Circus (but, the would-be match-up with TWIMTB could be tough)
- The Beginning
- Thursday (or Leave It All Behind)
- Harder To Ignore (pending it's defeat of Darkroom & See You Thru)

Circus VS. Harder To Ignore???

Those are my only real disappointments, so I gotta say I'm pretty happy with the way that round went. I guess I wish Action did a little better, but TWIMTB is some pretty stiff competition. I'll be a little more ballsy with my final 4 and predict:

TWIMTB
The Beginning
Leave It All Behind
Harder To Ignore

Based on what we got left, I HOPE the final 4 is:
TWIMTB
GSRNR
Buffalo Head
See You Through

I will be voting against it every round, but I'm gonna predict Harder To Ignore winning in a big upset (at least as far as seeding is concerned).

To me, the matches to watch are H2I v. Darkroom and the coming showdown between TWIMTB and Circus. I think those are two tough calls, and they make predictions tough for me.

The other big wild card is the fact that the number of voters will continue to dwindle for the rest of the tournament, and the loss of interest will have a major effect on the already close matches.

So, you're saying you think Harder 2 Ignore will be final four if it beats Darkroom and See You Thru? Going out on a limb there, aren't we?

I'm happy to see TTWIMTB and S/S have made it so far. I fear the next two rounds, though.

I say it will be Circus, The Beginning, LIAB and See You Thru. I'm pulling for TTWIMTB, The Beginning, S/S, and See You Thru.

wow. this one is tough.

Just for future references... TTWIMTB is now officially TWIMTB. Word has been brought down from Mt. Daigle.

On other official bidness, Harder to Ignore is officially my favorite new song... and Situation Gone Bad is a officially a close second.
