This is it. The final showdown. In one corner we have Hollstein, who after last year's Elite Eight elimination pulled in an impressive 13,556 votes last round. In the other corner we have Clexa, who has reeled off victory after victory this year after an elimination in the second round in 2016. Who will come out on top? The poll closes on Monday February 20th at 9:00 PM PST. No voting limits this round to make an even playing field. Don't think I don't know about that cookie workaround ;) And results will be hidden starting at midnight on Sunday. You'll need to turn in to the next episode of the podcast to find out the winner! Shortly after we release the episode, results will be made visible again.

Remember, be nice and HAVE FUN!

Congratulations to all the ships that made the Elite Eight! I've been out of commission most of the day with a pretty awful headache (except for a short Gaga reprieve), so the next round of polls will be up tomorrow afternoon. Get your voting fingers ready!

EDIT: Hey everyone.  Looks like Polldaddy is experiencing some technical difficulties.  They must be overwhelmed by how awesome you all are being!  Everything should be fixed now, but let me know if any of you are experiencing any problems.  And thank you for being so wonderfully passionate and kind this round!
