Mr. T – 55.7%

Frodo – 81%

Natalie Kane – 63.8%
Wayne Ellington’s Girlfriend – 36.2%

 

Analysis:

Frodo led all vote-getters in the Celebrity region, despite not being mislabeled as a “celebrity” when he’s really a movie character.  What will Mr. T have to say about that next round?

Taylor Swift gets revenge on Kanye, but something tells me that this vote had little to do with justice, and everything to do with the fact that mostly males were voting.

Lil’ John just snuck by John Stamos in the narrowest battle of the entire first-round

 

TV/Movie Character Region:

Macguyver – 88%
Macgruber – 12%

Pinky and The Brain – 58.6%

Chunk – 55.6%
Corky – 44.4%

Nadia – 78.1%
Fes – 21.9%

 

Analysis:

Macguyver ended up being the most dominant winner in the entire first-round.  He didn’t even need to use his paper clip to down Macgruber.

Cuteness had it’s way in this region with Chunk, Bert and Ernie, and Stay Puff’t all coming out as winners.

Nadia continues the trend of female nominees dominating any contest in which they face off against a male.

Analysis:

Again, the X chromosomes are proving dominant as the Japanese Softball team absolutely crushed the bottle of Rolling Rock.

The KFC Double Down made a statement and “banned” SnP’s Cheese Enchiladas from the tourney.

And finally, Baked Man KG Fan….

NO!  IT CAN’T BE!  THAT’S THE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE’S MUSIC!
macho man randy savage

OH YEAH! Did you really think you could hold a mascot tournament without Randy Savage?  The Macho Man has everything the Timberwolves need to land that #1 draft pick!  I’ve got the costume!  I’ve got the catch-phrase! I’ve got loads and loads of unintentional comedy!  I am a tower of power that’s too sweet to be sour, and after a first-round bye I am forcing my way into this tournament to take on both Malibu and the Rock in a triple-threat match! Can you dig it?  I’m gonna snap them like a Slim Jim.  OH YEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!
