P.S: Jack you can still post one of your old parodies that may fit under bad habits instead of dropping out completely.

Guys once again... I reposted my parody with a few corrections, minor ones this time, because the original was pretty good, but it still needed some work. So if you can hold off on your voting until I can get the new version posted it would be great. Thanks.

Hey Matty, can you change my video

That's an awesome version but because it was a somewhat live performance, it's a bit different from the album version on my home computer.

Hey Matty thanks (yet once again) for posting my entry for me, youtube link and all. It was another late night painting for me, and I was wondering if it was going to be posted or not.
You're my hero... ;)

5 points - #7. Arwen with "I Hold Scissors When I Run (And Other Bad Habits)"
4 points - #4. Jeff Reuben with "Bad Habit"
3 points - #9. Matthias with "Get Stressed!"
2 points - #6. Stuart McArthur with "Stuff!"
1 point  - #5. Kristof Robertson with "Yelp!"

This was one of the most difficult rounds to judge so far, for me anyway.  Honourable mentions to, well, everyone else as I kept wanting to include nearly all of 'em.

This was easily the most even decathlon2 round so far imo.  I'm sorry I had to leave out Kristof and conqueror - just a cigarette paper between all of them

My word, that was close... I'm not surprised, though: I think Arwen's and my ideas shared a few concepts - if one was going to do well, so was the other.  Many thanks to all those who voted for me, and congrats as usual to Arwen, Jeff and well, everyone: it was a very good round, IMO.
