ROUND 1

It's time to begin the Season 3 Best Episode Tournament. We kick off with the 16 vs. 17 match, and in the previous two tournaments, this match ended a tie each time. With the 16 & 17 seed winning in tiebreakers in each respective season tournament. Will we see another? Could very well as this match features two episodes that are ranked even all the way through.

Round 1 Polls will last 3 days and will be private polls, but of course you can still discuss who you voted for and your reasoning why.

But there is one big difference. Foombamaroom's #4 rank for Clash of the Mutanimals accounted for nearly half of the episode's point total, while Within the Woods received a more balanced continuation of lower ranks, which would lead that while it is unanimously agreed upon that Within the Woods is not a top tier episode, it is a balanced mid-tier episode, so IMO despite being the lower seed, I believe Within the Woods is a slight favorite here. Clash o.t. Mutanimals' point total may be a bit skewed by the one #4 ranking, and was deemed by many as a hit or miss episode that didn't really deliver in the hype that it built, and there may be still some sour grapes towards that episode. So for that, I'm picking #17 Within the Woods to get the clean win. #17 Within the Woods - 18 #16 Clash of the Mutanimals - 14 Which episodes wins in your mind, vote away. Remember...HAVE FUN!!!
