But...nooooo! Lexxy and Monica are my favorites- I really don't want to see either of them go, but in the end it's going to come down to one artist. From here on out these eliminations are going to be tough to watch.
Weren't Lexxy and Monica the two close friends on the remaining cast? (a la Amy and Erika?) Shrewd choice, Katie. Shrewwwd.
- Surprised it took so long for anyone to pick Khoo even though he said he was the worst doubles player. Clearly that was a smokescreen to try and scupper Katie.
- I know jack about ping pong but this time distinctly different styles between the 12 became clear and seeing how they meshed as teams and clashed as opponents was intriguing.
- Speaking of which, even though she didn't win the MVP was Monica for her grasshopper kung fu style of ping pong.
- Katie broke Khoo. WOOHOO!
- STOKED to see the Thunderdome match-up everyone was calling and hoping for.
Lexxy "Cutthroat" Douglass vs Abby "Rising Finger" Howard.
Sadsad Vs Sadsad,
Crouching Erika and Hidden Monica.
Khoo, Grandmaster, falling from grace, and eating comfort food in the end.
"Shitting . . . dicknipples!"
Monica was a given, but Lexxy was not. Each elimination episode is going to suck from now on.
I don't understand why people keep saying this. Are you seriously telling me you'd turn down 75 grand because you just won a $15k cash prize? Please. I don't have any inside information or anything, and since there can only be one winner, it's quite probable just based on the numbers that both Lexxy and Monica go home at some point. But I don't see how their Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaigns have anything to do with the price of tea in China.
Either way, looking forward to the elimination episode.

No, someone is getting eliminated because they didn't draw a comic as good as the other person
Steam | Origin: MazPA | 3DS: 1848-2888-3654
But they ended up in the elimination phase due to ping pong. So, yes, while drawing the better comic will keep either Lexxy or Monica from going home, they were put there due to not winning at ping pong.
The only question remains, are they going to bring back Lexxy again after she's eliminated again? I'm just kidding. Sort of.
(You just say the letters)
Ping Pong was not relevant to Katie's reasoning
hell Lexxy was the runner up
No, they were put up for elimination because they hadn't won an elimination yet. Ping pong merely chose the person who got to put them up for elimination.
Runner up (i.e. "first loser") is still not winning at ping pong.
You know what's not entertaining? bad table tennis for 20 minutes
very weak episode IMO
As for the elimination I hope Monica wins, she's just so nice!
I mean, I don't understand it for Monica, given her Indiegogo was to fund a print run of a book. As for Lexxy...I dunno. Like, I don't have anything against her, but given that she was the only contestant not to have a webcomic already, if she really needed to win this AND do a crowd-funding campaign just to get started on her webcomic? That'd kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Once again, I am conflicted.
On a completely unrelated note, Erika's sporty-punk look is amazing.
Also enjoyed the giant Desert Bus cheque in the background. Interesting place to keep it.
Looking forward to seeing Monica step up for elimination.

The main reward is to win a year at the PA offices, where ping pong is a pretty big deal. It's not weird for them to want someone to win who would fit in with that culture, and I mean all of life is not work - you gotta be able to relax and have fun too, especially in a creative profession. Plus, the actual challenge was a doubles tournament with PA staff, so really the challenge wasn't "hey how good are you at ping pong" it was "how well do you work with PA staff".
Not to mention that Katie chose people to go up for elimination based on entirely non-ping pong-related reasons, so...
I guess so long as you don't mind being wrong, keep banging that drum.
This was filmed in December, and probably wasn't all that far off from the Child's Play charity dinner, held on December 6th, where the check was presented

(Alternatively, If Khoo follows the PA player, you're effectively neutralising any good shot that comes in from them, and passing difficult shots to the artist player. You'll win most rallies on attrition.)
As for kickstarter campaigns, remember that the prize is integration into PA-offices, it's not (so far as I can see) a paid job for a year. The winning artist will get to use PA's incredible marketing engine and infrastructure, as well as technical expertise, to make their own product, but the money they make out of such a thing is still going to be from their own independent work. A kickstarter is no indication of loss at this tournament. You might as well instead look at their own webcomics to see who isn't updating these days...
Personally, if I were in the position of Monica, I'd use winning such a competition as a chance to do a new comic (She's said she wants to draw all the ideas for comics she has) - and in that situation, I'd use a KS to wrap up my current work and get some closure on it before embarking on a new voyage. Lexxy has been working on CF for way longer than the start of this tournament, and you don't just throw that away because you're working for PA.
