From this and "America's Got Talent," it's hard for me to get too riled up about people anymore.

Way to represent footbag in this contest, Jorden! You hit big and became big in front of these people, and I think that's something more valuable than 50k.

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87

Thanks guys for the support.
So basically the 3 acts that sounded most "appealing" on radio came top 3. Yeah, the farter won. Every one of the performers got ridiculed pretty bad, no matter what their ability. I guess that's what they meant by "overcoming a series of challenges" under the rules part of the Gong site.

Regardless, Dean Blundell is still a moron.
No one had heard of either of the celebrity judges. :lol: The one female judge is an editor for a Men's Interest mag. Dunno the other one.

Each of the 3 female performers' attractiveness level was taken into account in the judging. No, seriously!

The Edge made a farce of their own competition, simply put. Oh well, it's over and done with.


However, there is a happy ending! Each one of the finalists got a call and can pick up a pair of concert (Casby Show) tickets from the Studio. Score. 8)

Hopefully some people that had never seen shred before got a chance to see it because of my Gong video. That's all I can hope for.

And to mark the end of this post....

Thats disgusting. Every now and then you are allowed to have some faith in people and their good judgement, but then they remind you how fucked up people can be by doing things like this.

Huge props Jorden for taking it as far as you did and proving your endless skills. A great deed done for footbag too.

that's how radio personalities are ''supposed'' to act - they were impressed nonetheless.
