Best Blend of 2023: An Elimination Game

I’m just hoping it’s sorted out by Christmas so I know what to send for Secret Santa. And by the looks of things, we better get a move on.
I'm really enjoying this thread!
I'm really glad it's worked out, because for me this is a revival of a near-forgotten memory. I used to love games like this from a gamefaqs.com forum nearly twenty years ago. (Coming from a 24-year old, we're talking half a lifetime). I got this game from the social forum that spilled over on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic page. We'd choose favorite characters, vote them out, and talk sh@t with people you felt like you knew as real people, because the internet was new and you felt the novelty of knowing people in a new way.
I'd hop online, cast my vote just to piss off whoever was leading, and my mom would ask if I could please hurry the f&ck up because she had a call she needed to make. (It was circa early 2000's, when internets still ate phone lines for breakfast, and people still made phone calls on purpose.) Sorry for the diversion down Memory Boulevard, but all that to say... it's great to see nostalgia in translation and I hope it carries on.
Yeah I really had to lean on you there to get you to see it my way. It's amazing what can be accomplished with a simple taser! Next time I'll just lock you in a room with an open pouch of Captain Black Grape and count the seconds (probably on only one hand) before you cry uncle...
Yea its sure does beat the “ tobacco is not as good as it used to be “ threadsI'm really glad it's worked out, because for me this is a revival of a near-forgotten memory.

For that to have been my only typo is ridiculous

Whoever the idiot is running this game, he's allowed voters to cast double-positives and now we're seeing several blends crossing the 20-hit point threshold. Even still, From Beyond has been sent to meet its maker, and by that, I'm not necessarily referring to Jeremy Reeves. This is the third C&D blend to fall in battle and only two of their creations remain. Once so high and lofty, Pegasus now finds himself alarmingly at risk. If this game is an all-out drunken barroom brawl, Oriental Silk is cowering on wobbly knees beneath a table, trying not to piss himself, and praying nobody notices his presence. In short, Cornell & Diehl blends are performing about as well as a pack of winded fat fellas in an uphill foot race.
