The website traffic has been falling for a few years now so that plays a part. One other change is that we don't get as much traffic from Facebook or Twitter as we used to. People on the forum used to wonder why the voting didn't seem to match what seemed like popular opinion here. Often it was because there was a different fan base on FB and TW. They used to drive more people to the episode tournament pages, but changes to their algorithms seem to have meant not as many people see those posts now. I have the data for tournaments going back to S1-6 in 2013. That is a bummer. The last thing I want is for the tournament to turn into an echo chamber of forum opinion. It is always refreshing to see something that doesn't reflect the forum opinion completely.

Most of the people here would have preferred 10.7 to win, but apparently 10.24 was a much more liked by casual fans.

Tripper Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 The season finales have proved to be popular in the past. Obviously we're running these tournaments, particularly the season specific ones, not long after the episode aired so maybe they are more firmly lodged in people's memories. 424 won back the Season 4 tournament back in 2011 even as an episode which tended to split opinion on the forum.

Oh I wasn't talking of finales in particular. Completely unrelated to the latest match. I was referring to a very early post by you. Just that it was mentioned that the traffic to the website is falling and unable to reach as many Twitter and Facebook folks due to algorithm changes. So that left me wondering .

3ku11 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) In any case their are far stronger Finalies then 10.24 imo. So it's about Quality for me. Looks like it's going to beat Barbarian Sublimation. Not because of Supeior Quality. But I have to suggest a lot of Shamys are voting because Sheldon proposed.

serena_1995 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) My top 10 episodes are pretty much what is top rated at IMDB atm (except Robotic Manipulation, i didn't like that ): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898266/eprate?ref_=ttep_ql_3 2.11 The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis 9.11 The Opening Night Excitation 3.22 The Staircase Implementation; 3.8 The Adhesive Duck Deficiency 2.15 The Maternal Capacitance 2.3 The Barbarian Sublimation 7.9 The Thanksgiving Decoupling 2.7 The Panty Piñata Polarization 4.1 The Robotic Manipulation 7.3 The Scavenger Vortex @Tripper thank you for the information about finale of 4. 24 . Thats very unexpected. BTW, Did 4. 24 also win season 1-4 tournament ? Edited July 23, 2017 by serena_1995 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's your conversation from last year's thread with all the winners: On 3.8.2016 at 10:15 PM, Tripper said: Last year was won by The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis. It's won almost all of the multi-season tournaments we've done dating back to 2009. The Adhesive Duck Deficiency, which is usually the runner-up, won the Seasons 1-5 tournament back in 2012. Here's a list of the episodes which have won the single season tournaments. Apart from for Season 1, which was run late in 2009, all the individual tournaments took place in the summer months following the season finale. Season 1: The Pancake Batter Anomaly Season 2: The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis Season 3: The Adhesive Duck Deficiency Season 4: The Roommate Transmogrification Season 5: The Beta Test Initiation Season 6: The Love Spell Potential Season 7: The Locomotive Manipulation Season 8: The Prom Equivalency Season 9: The Opening Night Excitation On 3.8.2016 at 10:32 PM, serena_1995 said: Tripper, thank you So Bath Item Gift Hypothesis has won every year, save for 2012 when Adhesive Duck won ? I'm assuming Bath Item would have been a runner up that year then right ? On 3.8.2016 at 10:38 PM, Tripper said: Yes, Bath Item Gift Hypothesis has won every year except 2012. I looked it up and actually The Staircase Implementation was the runner-up that year. The back story to that was that Bath Item was knocked out in the first round by Adhesive Duck. The seeding was not ideal that year after a rewrite of the episode tournament system, a flaw vividly displayed by that pairing. So that year the #1 went up against the #2 early on. The system was changed to the current one (#1 vs. #9, #2 vs. #10, etc.) the year after. In all tournaments before that it went #1 vs. #5, #2 vs. #6, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, despite being a huge Shamy fan (not that anyone would've thought I was ), I went for Barbarian. 1 hour ago, bfm said: I went for Herb Garden but that was a hard choice. For me, it was one of the easier choices, and not because Herb Garden is a Shamy episode. I voted Barbarian over Long Distance. I just felt Panty Pinata was an episode full of nastiness, plus, Herb Garden is just a terrific episode. The next two rounds will be very easy choices, but the final round will be another hard choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Hilts Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I generally find the comparisons between episodes too vexing to make a choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ku11 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Never liked Herb Garden. I felt Shamy were a tad creepy. And diddnt like them manipulating their friends like that. Panty superior to me. Just a lot of classic comedy between Sheldon and Penny sparring. Johnnys delivery the whole episode too was world class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ku11 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Yes Panty Pinata one of the all time classic TbbT episodes, laugh out loud through out. Is beating Herb Garden. By 124 votes to 105 votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the B plot of 43 is also better than that of Earworm... I also think Earworm is a bit too sacharine. Of course my major draw to 43 is that amazing ILY scene...

3ku11 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) 8 hours ago, Stephen Hawking said: Really, 43 over Earworm? Well yes IMO 43 Pec is the far superior episode writing wise. I agree it prob comes down to what ship your invested in. As I'm more invested in Lenny. It comes Down to personal preferences. But you got Penny telling Leonard ily for the first time. One of the all time iconic moments from this series. And the B plot of Howard/Raj finding out what Sheldon is up too, is just hilarious. And far stronger then the B plot in Earworm. As it is Earworm has Shamy getting back together. So it's winning by allot logically. Edited July 25, 2017 by 3ku11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ku11 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Next two I'll prob go Luminous Fish and Scavenger. I was never a big fan of Prom Equivalency. Just a persons preference. But it was too much like How I met your mother for my tastes lol. The whole limo. Dancing at prom. Not the tbbt I'm into.

bfm Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Prom vs Luminous Fish will be hard for me because I like them both because of very different things. I like Scavenger way better than Gorilla. Gorilla was funny but I thought the way they ended it was meh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hawking Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 It's the reverse for me. I'll pick Prom over luminous, no problem, but Scavenger and Gorilla are, IMO, both excellent episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
