The chat feature is kind of silly because we are all talking in here

 

Absolutely not allowed to tell outsiders how much fun you are having

 

Hell yeah!

 

That's actually @irthesteve Rannazzisi

 

Being in dead last this week is not helping my tenuous hold on the bronze medal

 

I am pretty much in last too so I feel ya

 

I’m actually not doing too hot this round either, but I kinda didn’t expect to. I knew the risk with my pick

 

@bobsheiskawy don’t forget to vote!

 

I'm submitting imminently!

 

My worst round ever with the AAR pick, ugh.

Anyway, being a part of this has been the most fun I’ve had on Chorus in ages, so thanks! Hope I can get into the next league.

As someone who does not like baseball or wrestling, I want to say thank you to everyone who voted for my Weird Al song hahaha.

Also, shout-out to mariuscjz, who was my biggest fan and got the same exact score as me in the overall league haha

 

Shoutout to @Jay182 staying on brand with 182 points

 

I finished in seventh with 165 points. I’m glad despite not doing great the last two rounds that I still finished top ten. Go me.

 

"This Old Heart of Mine" coming in last in that parents' songs round is a disgrace and you should all be ashamed!

 

Shoutout also to parity - only 10 points separating 7th and 15th place.

So much fun.

When's the deets on next round??

 

I have learned a lot about you and that is the cool part. I didn’t really “play the game” safe and it shows. Oh well. It was fun.

 

From 2nd last season to 16th this time, stay in school kids!

 

You’re welcome haha

 

Did anybody play the game “safe”? We’re all just out here picking songs we like man lol. There’s some strategy about what’s appropriate of course but most of these rounds had very obvious picks that went undrafted

 

That was incredibly satisfying… 182 for life

 

Thanks for being the main homie @ghostedaway

 

I actually need to know, was I your 'biggest fan' this season?

 

You and @Elder Lightning for sure! Most just didn’t get what I was submitting and that’s ok.
