Thanks to all the participants for making this an extremely successful Friday challenge, the various outfits will certainly serve as a good reference for pairing light jackets and dark pants in the future.

The voting, however, will be rememberd as being right up there with the Florida recount of 2000........ :tinfoil:

Do we need voter IDs up in this place?

Congrats, Stitch.
I'm just thrilled to have come in second. Highest placing for me.
Thanks for the votes, fellas.

It's an interesting conundrum. On one hand, all votes are equally valid, and in general I'm more curious about the thoughts of the SWD crowd than I am MC (as of them I am well aware). And FC has always has been a bit of a popularity contest (as well as a photography contest...thank god Victor never played).

On the other hand, Stitchy banked on well earned goodwill and name recognition (in an MC fit). I don't think his outfit appealed to SWD sensibilities any more than those who had been in the lead for most of the voting.

Regardless, it's not going to be an ongoing problem. The SWD vote will only be garnered by familiarity for so long, and in the end, I think their input and participation is worth a normalization period.

Besides, last time Butler won we were assaulted with a bevy of crotch shots (best fitting pants challenge). So we have SWD to thank for sparing us that.

No hate Stitchy. I voted for you. And I approve of the SW&D vote. And I definitely want them to vote next week, and the weeks after.

But now I'm curious about ********* response. Is it "neener neener neenerz"? Because it should be.
