Blog Madness FINAL ROUNDS

After weeks and weeks of voting, the original 116 entries in the Blog Madness Tournament have been whittled down to 8 survivors. Based upon the average number of votes received in previous matches, the final eight contestants have been seeded to determine the matchups in the SINGLE ELIMINATION FINALS. There are no second chances.

Interested-Participant has been lucky enough to join seven others in the FINAL ELITE EIGHT. The blogs, the average votes per match, and the entered posts are:

#1: KevinDonahue.com (42.4 vpm) - I'll take "Torment My Wife" for 1,000, Alex

#2: You Don't Know Jackson (28.2 vpm) - Scenes From The Otherside Of The Tracks

#3: Panama Journal (27.0 vpm) - Santa Comes to Panama

#4: R80o (22.8 vpm) - No "ping"!

#5: The Dim Sum Diaries (36.0 vpm) - Remember When...

#6: Wizbang! (21.3 vpm) - The ACME Guide To Women

#7: The PurpleMoose Gazette (19.9 vpm) - Timothy

#8: Interested-Participant (18.5 vpm) - MEDIA BIAS

For a number of reasons, it would be absolutely foolish for me to even attempt to beguile myself into thinking my chances are good. Besides the fact that I have the lowest average number of votes per match, I have myself voted for every single one of the remaining entries at least once, and, sometimes, more than once. But, it's like a whole new contest with eight entries and the voters will decide.

The voting started a few minutes ago HERE. Polls close on Sunday night at midnight. Your continued interest and participation is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
