Did I appear to be serious about all this? Good. My little plan is moving right along.I don't know man. I think you might be taking this too seriously.
But I strongly agree with @sablebrush52.
This thread is "fascinating", and "someone ought to write a doctoral thesis" on it. There's some commonality here with the Stanford prison experiment. Maybe Robbers Cave. But it remains to be seen. We're only half way along...
Nearly 40 pages in & we’re only halfway……yet still many pipers are double plussing their faves instead of poo pooing & downvoting the weak & floundering blends. Not cricket!

Wait. This isn’t serious? I thought we were ending the “desert island blend” threads once and for all with this process?

Skiff got snuffed out today. It's been a long time coming and every now and then a bystander or two would sweep in with some + votes, but Ennerdale has been hogging all the attention.
Brown Twist and Sir Robert's Chocolate Flake have achieved noble status for the first time in the game, up from their former status as mere peasants, cleaning Pegasus's stables or polishing Luxury Navy's boots. As the field winnows down, the unexpected becomes likely, and background blends may rise and then die.
We've reached that inevitable turning point in the game where it's about 2/3 over. Were this the office, Steve Carell would be moments away from exiting stage right; Everyone knows the show must go on, but nobody knows what in God's green Hell that might mean.
