[TQR 12,194]

Half way through the final now, and imo, apart from Diana Ross and Pump Up The Jam (the real champion of the game), we've kicked out the right ones so far. I foresee a storm brewing over the last 6 or 7 songs. It's gonna get very interesting very soon.

 

The battle for the podium positions on the overall kills scoreboard is wide open, too. Erm, apart from the top spot. In fact I could revive all of this round's fallers and personally feed every single song to the one in second place and they'd still come second. But apart from that, game on.
