Thanks to everyone who played along with us – we had a great time, and we hope you did, too!
Note from Admin: Chris is away at a convention in Las Vegas, and if what they say about “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” is true, we’re unbelievably lucky this even made it to us.
Magic Bullet vs Tiddy Bear:
I’m feeling pretty good about myself right about now. With Hawaii Chair out of the competition, it’s down to it, and as I sit here on the plane armrest jockeying with the left-hander next to me (seriously? I got the only left-handed guy on the plane who wants to work on his computer? What are the odds? Well, I’ll tell you, they are about the same as the odds that my prediction of Tiddy Bear victory in the previous round would come true. But whaddya know… I mean, HOW. ABOUT. THAT.) We all agree – Berman and the Magic Bullet are far too strong for the Tiddy Bear in this round. This Magic Bullet commercial, it’s like a sitcom. I can’t wait for the next episode.
Also: this submission was late because I had to let my hurt feelings subside after Jess suggested I cheated in the last round.
Slap Chop vs Mizu Pods:
Slap Chop. If you beat the Snuggie, I’m pretty sure a title challenge is headed your way. That’s all I have to say about that. Forrest Gump… OUT.

So, did anyone predict that Tiddy Bear would put the Hawaii Chair out of commission? That Slap Chop would slice Snuggie out of the running? That Mizu Pods would soak Magic Mesh’s tournament dreams with its amazing watering technology, or that Magic Bullet would liquify the Bender Ball’s chance at victory?
Well, guess what! All of those things happened, and we are now down to four final commercials for your viewing and voting pleasure.
