The folklore survivor: THE FINAL

[Jark]

well, we made it. after several shock exits and some knitwear-adjacent theatrics, we arrive at another survivor final featuring a surprise selection of songs.

in the "vote for the best loser" round you chose seven and exile to return to the final, with 5 votes each, so we have four songs on the plate.

RESULTS

17. hoax
=15. illicit affairs
=15. peace
=13. mad woman
=13. betty
=11. invisible string
=11. the lakes
10. epiphany
09. the 1
=07. Mirrorball
=07. My Tears Ricochet
06. cardigan
05. the last great american dynasty

because there are 4 songs, you can vote either your fave or your two faves. hopefully that way we avoid ties. go!

 

[octophone]

The only justifiable winner is "this is me trying".

 

[Jark]

I vote exile, which I thought would probably win since the beginning

 

[Alex]

August is just pure gorgeousness
That bit at 3.28 in particular where the strings come in just wow

 

[GNL]

My top 4 would be 'Illicit Affairs', 'The Lakes', 'The Last Great American Dynasty', and of course, 'This Is Me Trying'.

1 out of 4 ain't bad.

 

[POP!]

1. seven
2. this is me trying
3. august
4. exile

All are great, though.

 

[joanne]

1. cardigan
2. august
3. this is me trying
4. exile

all are 100s, though.

 

[Iguana]

Of these:

1. seven
2. august
3. this is me trying
4. exile

But all very good!

 

[Iguana]

"knitwear-adjacent theatrics"

 

[Jark]

the voting is so TIGHT

we need someone to come in and SPICE things up

@COB @Pingu @jivafox @Sheena

 

[Jark]

exile and august take the lead how TENSE!

 

[Sheena]

Exile forever

 

[Jark]

do we have any more voters or has exile taken the ?

 

[Jark]

have there been any other survivors where an evicted-and-resuscitated song has actually WON?

 

[joanne]

august is Moopy's favorite solo folklore track we won!

 

[Alex]

august is the Moopy's favorite solo folklore track we won!

And it didn’t benefit from MEDDLING

 

[Iguana]

@octophone @POP! @GNL and @RJN potentially have the power to mix things up if they ABANDON their first choice (s) and can be bothered

 

[POP!]

Oh, there appears to be a tie.

 

[RJN]

@octophone @POP! @GNL and @RJN potentially have the power to mix things up if they ABANDON their first choice (s) and can be bothered

I decided I can be bothered for august

 

[Jark]

winner will be whichever song is leading at midnight

 

[octophone]

@octophone @POP! @GNL and @RJN potentially have the power to mix things up if they ABANDON their first choice (s) and can be bothered

My conscience forbids.

 

[RJN]

My conscience forbids.

Good thing @POP! and I had no conscience about this

 

[Iguana]

I am not sure who is more of an agent of chaos, me or @Jark. This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Sheena]

There hasn't been a more CORRUPT competition since Qatar was awarded the World CUP!

 

[octophone]

Moopy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory AGAIN.

This is me trying may have come fourth, but it also made it to the top two, so let's celebrate THAT.

 

[joanne]

54 Jark being over 24 hours late with the evermore survivor

 

[Jark]

I'm worried it might be too CONTENTIOUS!

...and I actually wanted to do reputation next because I'm obsessed with it atm.

thoughts?

 

[RJN]

I'm worried it might be too CONTENTIOUS!

...and I actually wanted to do reputation next because I'm obsessed with it atm.

thoughts?

I’d be fine with either but Reputation would be fun

 

[POP!]

We should do all the albums (bar maybe the debut)

 

[joanne]

i'm down for reputation! Midnights does feel like evermore and reputation's lovechild to me after all.

 

[Jark]

then let's do reputation first round incoming
