SCORES!Somewhat surprisingly, I won again. I genuinely wasn't expecting that.
A shout out really should go out to Shin here. The story as far as I can remember (those involved may wish to correct some aspects of it) - She'd originally picked The Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" as her next track, only for me to respond saying it would surely fit more with the theme of "NSFW" rather than "Anti-love songs". She'd replied saying she'd been mistaken, and that she'd pick another song to go with the "Anti-love" theme, with the Bloodhounds to go towards the following week. In the meantime, Myoptika popped up, also nominating "The Bad Touch" for week 6. I PM'ed Myop, making the same point that I'd made to Shin (and adding "and someone else has already chosen it, so you'll need a different choice, soz"), but as midnight neared, no response.
In response to Shin's replacement Week 6 track PM, I'd mentioned another user had chosen The Bad Touch, so maybe it did fit in with the theme after all (it's probably arguable that a song about mindless doggy-style rutting qualifies as not being wholly about "'love"). Shin graciously said that the other person choosing that track could have it after all, she'd go with her new choice of track and come up with a new NSFW song. THEN! Myoptika PMs me the next day apologising for getting mixed up, and he'd meant The Bad Touch for the "NSFW" theme after all. Slapped foreheads all round.
Shin's reward for her selfless act is seeing her original choice storm up the voting charts, but Song Wars Karma finally kicks in to give her Puddle Of Mudd track joint third, and her first point. There's possibly a moral in all of that, but I'm jiggered if I know what it is.
LEAGUES!Group A looking pretty done and dusted, there. Second spot well up for grabs in groups B and D, with an open race in group C.
VOTES!Mimi and Craig joint top.
