10.) The New Girl in Town
9.) It Came From the Depths
8.) I, Monster
7.) Baxter's Gambit
6.) Turtle Temper

2.) The Alien Agenda
1.) Never Say Xever

Yes, I actually like Turtle Temper enough to put it in my top ten. :P No, I'm not expecting it to make it into the bracket, lol.

Actually every episode will be on the bracket, you'll just be jacking up the seed it gets. And with this, only 1 episode has yet to get a Top 12 spot.

While I'm thinking about it, I'll bring up tiebreakers, if episodes have the same amount of points, tiebreakers will be decided by:

1. Number of Top 12 showings
2. If Top 12 showings are the same, then by place average.

Ahhhh, I misunderstood then - I thought only the top 12 would duke it out, but that makes sense. Thanks!

1 Enemy of My Enemy
2 Never Say Xever
3 Showdown
4 The Gauntlet
5 TCRI
6 I, Monster
7 New Girl in Town

I think a lot of people are making the mistake of putting their LEAST favorite episodes at the number 12 spot...this is supposed to be your top 12 FAVORITE episodes from the series.

I actually like Turtle Temper. I didn't think it was that bad of an episode.

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was for everyone in general. Now that you say that though, I could be wrong.

Well, I'm calling it a night. I'll be posting the updates each night I turn in so you can get a sense of everything.

Funny that we're doing a Top 12 list, because 12 episodes have completely pulled away from the other 12.

Here's the updated stats as of right now:
1. The Gauntlet - 103 points
2. Showdown - 98 points
3. It Came from the Depths - 63 points
4. I, Monster - 53 points
5. Never Say Xever - 52 points
6. Enemy of my Enemy - 51 points
7. Rise of the Turtles - 49 points
8. TCRI - 47 points
9. The Alien Agenda - 46 points
10. New Girl in Town - 43 points
11. Operation: Breakout - 39 points
12. Baxter's Gambit - 37 points
13. I Think his name is Baxter Stockman - 17 points
14. Metalhead - 14 points
15. Parasitica - 13 points
15. Karai's Vendetta - 13 points
