Came here to see this! Really didn’t think you’d do it.

Cora the other day was desperate that it not be in the top 10, so it being top 5 counts as a victory against historians.

I'm just surprised you were working to keep such a genuinely bad person in the game!

I will grant you that one of my picks was an Elvis song, but I went with a cover for a reason

Elton John - Step Into Christmas

Time to go!

I wasn't working towards anything, the votes are the votes. I only vote when things are tied or if there's an opportunity to move the game along.

This eliminator was also about the songs, not the artists or their personal lives. Lennon is complicated but he's also been dead for 43 years.

Sadly, the song is much like Lennon himself - strawberry floating terrible.

As a Limp Bizkit fan, your opinion has not been counted.

Not going to make a difference now, unless there’s another late voter, but Bing Crosbow - White Christmas.

(I would have voted Elton John, but he’s already got enough to be kicked out.)

For transparency, I voted Ronettes in the PM vote, as an anti-Phil Spector move.

We should all post our PM votes afterwards, to make sure Moggy doesn’t massage the figures to bring a swift end to this right now.

(Not that I don’t trust him.)

Results


Thread Votes:


Elton John - Step Into Christmas - 5

PM Votes:

The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride - 2

Therefore, all of the above are eliminated!

We now have finalists! Bing Crosby v Wizard!

For suspense the final will be a PM only vote. But the voters names will be publicly posted along with the results.

You will have until 9pm tonight to vote.

Edit: In case it isn't clear, you will be voting to eliminate, not voting for a winner.

Just under 3 hours to get your votes in.

Just over an hour to go. The votes are very close at the moment, if I end up with the deciding vote, then I think rinks might go full Giuliani and call a press conference at a landscaper's.

Congratulations to Wizard! Gandalf and Merlin are very proud of you.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this. It was fun but a little too manic - which was all my fault. It might be interesting to do this properly another year, but starting in November so we have time to eliminate one per day!

Merry Christmas

Thanks for running this Mogster, Merry Christmas to you!

yaaaaaay my pick at the beginning won.

Such an outsider, too!

Thanks for running this, really enjoyed it

Have we ever done a Christmas movie eliminator?
