JTH's Prediction:

Spoiler:

Oh boy. When the voting was playing out, I cringed when I saw this match was a possibility. Then I face palmed when it became official. I was wondering if I should even vote on this one.

Okay, rant over.

Now while these two are in my bottom three episodes. I still went back and watched them again for laughs and giggles. And having reseen them, The Croaking does have a decent amount of replay value to it. Mondo on the other hand is just not my cup of tea. It's a weird story with a weird concept, and...weird. Yeah.

So despite it being last on my official list, I'll more than likely vote Croaking to win, but for overall prediction, I think Mondo will prevail.

#14 Meet Mondo Gecko - 15
#19 The Croaking - 10

Which episode wins in your mind, vote away. Remember...please...HAVE FUN!!!
