Hopefully there are some people out there who are as addicted to these survival games as I am and are willing to play another one, because I've played this game on other threads and it's insanely fun! It should also be interesting to see if the results mirror those of the other episode survival games. I'm shamelessly stealing the below rules from Karoline:

Rules:
Vote for your FOUR least favorite episodes.
After several hours have passed and (at least) 5 people have voted, the round will end.
I'll tally up the votes, and the THREE episodes with the most will be eliminated (with tiebreaker rounds as needed). We'll then begin a new round. (There will end up being about two rounds in a 24 period)
This will carry on until we go down to voting for three eps and eliminating two and, when we have our final 10, voting for two and eliminating just one at a time.
This should be a challenging game, particularly when it comes down to having to vote against episodes you love to save episodes you love just a little bit more!
I'll post a list of all episodes here and edit to debold eliminated episodes to make it easy to keep track of what's been eliminated. Since obviously no episodes have been eliminated yet, as of now they're all in bold:

Pilot---Eliminated in Round 19
Credit Where Credit is Due---Eliminated in Round 9
Meet John Smith---Eliminated in Round 6
The Wrath of Con---Eliminated in Round 13

Round 1 is now open and will end at about 8:30 tomorrow morning! Remember, you're voting for the four episodes that you most want to see (or can most easily bear to see!) eliminated!

My Votes:

Donut Run
One Angry Veronica (Need I explain?!)
Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough (This is probably a wasted vote since I know most love it and won't eliminate it until much later on, but I just hate this episode)
Nobody Puts baby in a Corner (Like a bad Lifetime movie-of-the-week, IMO!)

My votes:

One Angry Veronica- aside from the last 3 seconds of the episode when Wallace came back, this has to be one of the most boring hours of television I've ever seen.
Drinking the Kool-Aid
My Mother, the Fiend
The Quick and the Wed

My Votes:

Meet John Smith
Betty and Veronica (It used to be one of my favorites, but I grew to dislike more and more)
Driver Ed (The worst episode of Veronica Mars)
The Quick and the Wed (Worse than One Angry Veronica)

I actually feel the exact same way, though your vote for Meet John Smith hurt my early-S1-loving heart ;)

I'm so glad I'm not alone in disliking this episode!

I like the survival games also.
I think that one of my choices is an epsiode that a lot of people around here like. I still had to put it out there.

One Angry Veronica
Clash of the Tritons
The Quick and the Wed
Donut Run

So very sorry. If it makes you feel better, I hated Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner.

It does ;) (And you know I was just kidding around in my post, right? Obviously, people can and should vote for whichever episodes they want!)

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Round 1 Results. Unlike the poor players on the GG and AD forums, you'll be spared my bad episode puns (i.e., 'Love, Daisies and Troubadours has wilted...') because I'm way too caffeine-deprived!

It was a close first round, and I'm glad so many people wanted to participate. After receiving seven votes, One Angry Veronica was sentenced to elimination. (OK, so maybe even a pre-caffeine me can't totally resist the lame puns!) The Quick and the Wed and Drinking the Kool-Aid were the other two eliminated episodes, receiving six votes apiece. I'm not a fan of either of those two, but am shallow enough to like Kool-Aid a tiny bit purely because I find Casey so appealing.

I'll de-bold the eliminated episodes on our first page list to remind everyone that they're now out of contention. Meanwhile, Round 2 is open and will close at about 5:30 this evening.

My Votes:

Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner (So very Lifetime Network, IMO!)
Donut Run (I actually would have expected this to go in Round 1
My Mother, The Fiend (Shut up, Lianne)
Green-Eyed Monster

Donut Run
Lord of the Bling

Donut Run (I actually would have expected this to go in Round 1)
Likewise. It shocked the hell out of me that it didn't get that many votes. I would have preferred to see this go over Drinking the Kool-Aid. I agree that Casey was has something about him. Plus he's pretty hot!

The Girl Next Door (It was embarrassingly predictable)


I know what you mean, but the Weevil-Logan interactions are among my very favorite scenes of the entire series for me.
maryBK
Credit Where Credit is Due (Paris Hilton...enough said.)
You know, I can actually overlook her and put this as one of my favorite S1 episodes.
kemmek
Versatile Toppings- Ugh Kristin Cavelleri. Also, Kristen Bell seemed to be off this episode. This also marked the point where the writers began to overuse Corny.
My Mother the Fiend- I didn't mind this one the first time I saw it, but I've liked it less and less as I've seen it again and thought about it. The Trina adoption storyline really bugs me.
Blast from the Past- Boring.
Kanes and Abels- It was good the first time watching, but once I knew who killed Lilly this episode lost all of its power. Plus, Sabrina is really annoying.

Donut Run
Drivers Ed (I didn't hate everything about this episode at first, but it was the one episode my mom happened to catch, and because it has more sex than than all of S1 combined, it prompted her to believe that the show is corrupting me. And now I despise it.)
Green Eyed Monster
Versatile Toppings
surfsup79
I actually didn't mind Donut Run upon rewatch. Vinnie craks me up, and certainly not worse than OAV.

Drived Ed This episode should be eliminated soon just for the V/D parking lot and sex scene.
Lord of the Bling If The Girl Next Door is embarassingly predictable what does it makes this MoTW?
Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner
Credit Where Credit's Due
marlaas
You know, I can actually overlook her and put this as one of my favorite S1 episodes.


Me too! I actually adore this one and think it's among the best plotted MotWs of the series.

*ding ding ding* Round 2 is now over. Donut Run was devoured with five votes and Lord of the Bling will now be rapping up there in episode heaven after receiving six.

However, we need to have a tiebreaker round to determine the third elimination. My Mother, The Fiend, Versatile Toppings and Driver Ed all received four votes. Within the next two hours, just post the name of the episode you MOST want eliminated.

My vote: My Mother, The Fiend. I hate Lianne, and not in a 'love to hate' sort of way.
holly96
Driver Ed -- Same reason as before.
Poor Grace
Versitile Toppings --I just found it silly and inane. The payoff with the jock sucked, too. My favorite part was when Mr. Wu was like, "I thought Peter was your friend?" to Veronica when she asks if he was interested in art. Ha! He told you, Veronica!
cinaminsweet281
Hmm, I trying to decide which episode I hate worse, Driver Ed or My Mother, the Fiend. I don't really like either one. I'll go with My Mother, the Fiend, though, simply because Driver Ed at least has Wallace acting all adorable and that hallway scene between Logan and Veronica, which I do like.
marlaas
Well, I guess My Mother, The Fiend is the winner---er, loser---since it received two votes while the others each received one.

Round 3 is now open!

- I have no idea how this episode went from being my favorite of Season 2, to a bummer. I guess after you rewatch the episodes your perception can vastly change. Donut Run is actually now one of my favorites and I used to hate it.

Why is Blast From the Past getting all the hate?
marlaas
Heh----yeah, holly, I remain convinced that you and I saw an entirely different version of ANMMHE from everyone else ;) By the way, you don't happen to love Troy and belong to that tiny minority who feel the EARLY part of S1 was the strongest part of the entire series, do you? If so, I'll know that we officially share a brain.

ETA: Oooh, look, one other non-lover of ANMMHE has joined us!
Trizzie
Since I still love ANMMHE (sorry guys:))...here are my votes:

Driver ED (V/D sex - enough said)
Versatile Toppings (Kristin C. - I didn't think it could get worse than Paris Hilton)
Blast from the Past (Wallace left and I hated that)
The Girl Next Door (Found it boring upon rewatching it)

Good morning, everyone! It's a lucky morning for those who happen to like tiebreaker rounds ;) Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner and Blast from the Past were both eliminated after receiving five votes each. However, Driver Ed again finds itself on the chopping block after reciving four, along with Green-Eyed Monster. Over the next couple of hours, just vote for the ONE of those two episodes that you most wnat eliminated.

My vote: Green Eyed Monster

Driver Ed

ETA and good morning as well!

Good morning everybody!

My vote is for Driver Ed as well.
