Episode 8: Gliding Over All

After the final episode of 2012, I'm tied with Josh Morgan for first place.

I plan to keep updating the scores for this contest through the end of the show.  But I was also thinking that it would be fun to do a separate round of predictions for the last 8 episodes knowing what we know now.  We could answer new questions and revise answers to unresolved old ones.

As for this episode...

Episode 7: Say My Name

Just one more episode left in 2012?  So sad.

A couple of updates and a new leader: Josh Morgan.

Episode 6: Buyout

Great episode, but nothing new to report.

Episode 5: Dead Freight

I'm allowing two new participants, because I've known them since I was 8 and people trust them to inject paralyzing chemicals into their gums.  They're solid.

And one of them, Don, is the new leader.  Suspicious, I know.

Episode 4: Fifty-One

This show is so good.

And we have a new leader: Chris Flesher!

Episode 3: Hazard Pay

We have a 3-way tie for first place.  Things are heating up.

Episode 2: Madrigal

I think we can agree that the biggest revelation this episode was the existence of "Funnel Cake Fries". I'm horrified. I'm intrigued.

Walter Jr. had him some breakfast, but not one "bitch" was spoken.  We got a few answers.  And Wen held on to the lead.

Episode 1: Live Free or Die

Negin had to comfort me last night, when I realized that after months of anticipation, I had missed the live stream of the first episode by an hour because I suck at understanding timezones.  When the little-girl sobs subsided, I quickly bought the season pass on iTunes.  I watched the episode first thing when I woke up.  Whew.

We got a few answers and a few surprises in this episode.  The current leader is: wen.  Congratulations.  The summary and leader board are below.

Summary of survey results

All in all, we got 12 people to fill out the prediction survey.  Thanks everyone for participating.

If you're interested in seeing some stats on the responses, check out the Google Docs summary [pdf].  Is there wisdom in crowds?  I'm curious to find out if our combined predictions are better than anyone's alone.


I'll send everyone an email of their own responses soon.  I'm sure that, like me, you've already forgotten what you said would happen.
