Contestant 07 - hamburger helper 
(Memphis#7896, XTuneyX#3773, Animechu#1502)
Final Average Percentage: 39.8%

I’m the kind of person who likes to doesn’t like getting my hands dirty myself but I know art when I see it. This guy could paint a confectionary Mona Lisa if he wanted. Too bad my darker half has had other plans. - Tom Cardy.

Contestant 25 - Mining, A Minecraft Parody of Drowning 
(ElvenCatAccess, DunnaD#7699, Funnyguy 27#8979)
Final Average Percentage: 36.2%

Y’know like, I kinda hoped Mining had it in them. It’s hard being the most conceptual member of the tournament, as a song and all. While I didn’t like his music, I really hoped he could push through and show us what he had. Mine on in the stars my friend. - Tom Cardy.

Contestant 32 - Eevee 
(KirbyfanX#5331, Wise Mystical Tree#4574, ElvenCatAccess)
Final Average Percentage: 34.8%

Before CGR1, Eevee was still the lowest ranking contestant in the tournament and truthfully, I was hoping the little Pokémon that could might turn themselves around as the song goes. But what can you do if you’re dealt a bad hand. - Tom Cardy

Final Average Percentage: 41.3%

Hahaha. It’s the funny skeleton guy. After he lost the first time, his kindness really began to show, shifting from Terminator One to Terminator Two inspiration…. I really need to catch up on the rest of those films. I’m going to miss his comical badassery. - Tom Cardy.

Contestant 05 - UnHolySquid
(KirbyKid9#5636, David M#6022, SomethinStupid354#7499) 
Final Average Percentage: 41.3%

The Unholiest of Squids always was struggling to find who she was apart from her originating point and I don’t think she was able to discover who she really was before she was eliminated. I really wish all this conflict wasn’t for naught. - Tom Cardy.

Contestant 11 - man who is invisible 
(Johnny V#0369, nononn#9507, Luｉgicat11 🖤⚡🤍#8440)  
Final Average Percentage: 42.8%

I always thought of Invisible Man as one of the most creative and interesting contestants in the tournament, and it’s a shame he’s gone out as early as he did. I don’t even know how my robotic duplicate was even able to catch him. Maybe part of him got away - Tom Cardy.

(tisrack#2504, [REDACTED], ErrorMaster#4249)
Final Average Percentage: 35.9%

We don’t need to talk about what happened to Striderfan and the story up to this point. It’s a serious shame that as soon as he became a viable pick, he was up against one of the tournament’s most powerful goners the tournament has to offer.

(bruhs#6969, plaidScientist#0208, TawnyBarnOwl#3875)
Final Average Percentage: 31.8%

This one definitely hurts. Escher was a favorite of mine personally but he was always against a stronger or more comedic opponent. He was truly a contestant like no other though, and never really got a chance to shine. Maybe in another tournament. - Tom Cardy.
