They're still in it, they will play the winners of these two contests.

Basically, since we had 9 people, we'd have 1 then 4 then 2 then 1 matchups. I just took two matchups from the quarterfinals and put them in the first round poll to even it out a little.

I'm surprised micah isn't doing better. I'd have probably voted for him if he wasn't against my list. Roosevelt and Twain were great picks and I loved Guttenberg in Short Circuit.

Micah vs Charlie was a particularly difficult choice, but I had to go with Charlie with Einstein. Gotta take the physicist over the microbiologist

Went with charlie, only cause I figured that Luther, Paul, Constantine, and maybe even Gutenberg wouldn't have had as big of an impact without Jesus. :p
