We have two brackets going on right now, and we have a third on the way. We’ll start with The Biggest Weirdo.
***
We’ve reached the championship of The Biggest Weirdo. Marilyn Manson beat Kanye 28–19 in the semifinals (24–16 on Instagram, 4–3 on the Google Form), while Michael Jackson smoked Tom Cruise, winning 34–15 (28–14 on Instagram, 6–1 on the Google Form). It’s Marilyn vs. Michael, then, two musical stars with unconventional appearances and a history of accusations of sexual violence.
I don’t think the music and unconventional appearance part *has* to go with the other part, but I’m not going to do a study on it.
As always, there are two ways to vote: Instagram and the Google Form. As always, there is one rule with the voting: Be cool. In our case, it means not to spam the vote. We’ve made it so far. Don’t do anything reckless.
Here’s the link to our Instagram, where voting is live in our stories.
Here’s the link to the Google Form.
Instagram voting will be live until the stories expire. Google Form votes will be accepted if they’re in prior to 1:15 PM EDT tomorrow, Friday May 26th. Our plan right now is to announce the winner tomorrow afternoon, and to publish The People’s Rankings as well, so we can get these weirdos all in a row.

Second order of business: Nominations for America’s Bracket will remain open until 10:00 PM EDT tonight. Nominate here. We’re looking for regional chains. Regional institutions. You’re doing a great job. We just want more. We’re aiming to get more than 64 nominees so we can do a narrowing-down process over the weekend. Stay tuned for that.

Third order of business: We’re onto the second round in I Think You Should Bracket. The updated bracket is below, and full first round results can be found here. It is a rush going through these with you all.
Again, there are two ways to vote in the second round: Instagram and the Google Form. Again, just one rule: Be cool.
Here’s the link to our Instagram, where voting is live in our stories.
Here’s the link to the Google Form.
Instagram voting, again: Live until the stories expire. Google Form votes will be accepted if they’re in prior to 2:00 PM EDT tomorrow, Friday May 26th. The current plan is to do the Round of 16 on Saturday (and then the quarterfinals on Sunday, semifinals on Monday, and championship on Tuesday when Season 3 comes out).
Let’s slop ‘em up.
