Challenge 2 Progress Tracking and Results (Ranking Unova's Gym Leaders)

Rubric

20 pts total

14 for including all 14 gym leaders

1 for listing them correctly

1 for spelling/grammar

3 for reasoning (great=3, ok=2, poor=1)

1 for showing a sign of attempting the challenge (pretty much a free-bee point)

I only explain the scores for anyone earning less than 20/20 but I will list each players favorite and least favorite

Excused players get a score of 0/0, not 20/20

KJS: 179/260=68.85%
MRS: 117/180=65%
GDA: 192/260=73.85%

1st Victini SS (immunity)
2nd Genesect DA (vote 1 player off)
3rd Keldeo JS (vote 1 player off*)
4th Meloetta RS (vote 1 player off)

*=Simipour-MrLaughtybot2 quit the competition for reasons not yet explained but he is sure of his decision. He will get 68th place but will be officially eliminated at the elimination ceremony with the other voted off players. The Keldeo Justice Swords are exempt from voting because of this.

Voting ends Monday (8/12/13) morning, most likely at 8 am. Once that elimination concludes, we will be left with 53 contestants. Be sure to explain your votes and send confessionals.

Intrigued by the fact that the standings are exactly the same as in challenge 1? Shocked by who was viewed as the most common Favorite or Least Favorite gym leader? Any thoughts? Reply to this blog post! Thank you!
