Ok, here we go. The start of the Who is Louie tournament.

Our first matchup in the Survivor bracket

The number 1 seed



Rudy Boesch - 3rd place finisher of the original survivor and 2nd boot on All Stars

vs

The number 16 seed



Victor Ebuwa - 7th place finisher on Big Brother UK 5

This seems like a easy choice, but maybe not. We all know Rudy, we all love Rudy. He's an American hero, and an American icon. Not since Archie Bunker has a grumpy old guy been so endearing. He was loyal to a fault and came up with some of the great quips in Survivor history. There is not much bad to say about the man. However, his All Star appearance was a tad disappointing (aside from the dream alliance with Rupert). He went out in classic Rudy style though, saying he's got friends who do things to people like that.

Now for the unknown Victor. Well maybe not unknown, cause for those who watch BBUK, he is one of the best known housemates in history. What I love most about Victor is the contrast he brings. He looks and carries himself most of the time like a thug. He got into some of the craziest fights in Big Brother history (He was one of the main causes of the infamous fight night). But not only was he that, he was also the most intelligent person in the house. He could switch on and off from wildman who hates everyone, to intelligent teacher discussing politics or art. Here is a great clip to sum him up, after he was evicted they showed his best quote in the Diary Room. I love the end when they show what Victor has to say...about Victor

Victor's best quotes



This is a very tough decision for me, I love them both. However I will have to vote Rudy.

Next matchup is from the Big Brother Bracket


The number 6 seed



Wendy Pepper- 3rd place Finisher on the original Project Runway

vs



Jack Owens Jr. - 6th place Finisher on Big Brother 4


I consider Wendy to be one of the best villains of all time, if not the best. The main reason for this being, at the start of the season she would be the last one you would expect to be the evil one. She was the sweet stay at home mom with kids, who you would figure would take the motherly role. But not Wendy, see Wendy was there to win. And she did absolutely everything in her power to win. She didn't sugarcoat things and was willing to badmouth anybody she had to infront of the judges. One of the main reasons i felt she was so hated by the general public was the fact that every week she would be right on the verge of going home and every week she would manage to just hang on. Over designs that were arguably better than hers.


Jack to me was the saving grace of Big Brother 4. It is still the worst BB season in my opinion, even worse than season 1. I have never seen a more vile group of people, especially Alison and Jun. However, Jack stayed out of all that. Jack was a honorable, former FBI agent. Everybody loved him, and he brought a dynamic to the house that I don't think had ever been there before. He held intelligent conversations, had great stories to tell about his past. And gave us great moments like dressing like a strawberry and saying Dana had the appeal of a buzzards crotch. Which was very true

My vote here, goes to Jack

Next up, in the Idol bracket

We have the 4 seed



Yau-Man Chan-4th place finisher on Survivor Fiji

vs



Al-3rd place Finisher on The Mole 2


I predicted before I seeded everyone that Yau Man would probably end up winning this whole thing. And it's funny, cause originally Yau Man was not my favorite. In fact I thought he was the for sure first boot. I picked Gary, and I still love Gary. But unfortunately Papa Smurf just couldn't hack it. Yau Man however thrived in the conditions and turned out to be not only the most valuble asset to the tribe but one of the biggest immunity hogs in history. He proved that brains can outdo brawn. We all know how his story ends, but we will save that discussion for another time.

Al to me is extremely unique. If you ask me to list some of the most "real" reality contestants ever he would be right at the top of the list. Simply for the fact that he is basically every hard working father, coach of their sons little league team I have ever known. I grew up with people like Al. He wore his Mets hat, had a blue collar job and loved his family more than anything in the world. It was great to see someone like him get on a show like this. And boy did he shine, everything he did provided for tons of laughs. And none more than the Tiny Bubbles incident, which if I ever rank the best reality moments of all time would be top 10 for sure.


Another tough vote for me here, but i'm gonna shock you all and actually vote for Al. I didn't expect to do that, but after typing all that out I changed my mind.

And now for the last match of the day. From the Amazing Race bracket


The number 3 seed



Neleh Dennis - 2nd place finisher on Survivor 4

vs

The 14 seed



Shandi Sullivan - 3rd place finisher on America's Next Top Model 2


Oh my heck! I recieve so much flack for adoring Neleh, but I can't help it. As most of you know, I just love all things cute. And she is about as cute as they come. She had such a innocence about her on the show, but unfortunately that sweetness made her prime for ridicule. To this day I don't get why people disliked her so much, but I guess when you are that cheery when everyone else is starving and grumpy it is to be expected. Her relationship with Paschal was adorable, the mint incident is classic and her outwitting Kathy at the final 3 challenge will forever be etched into my mind.


I do not condone cheating on ones significant other, however I do still like Shandi despite it. And that unfortunately is what she will always be remembered for. She was such a feel good story, the ugly duckling who became a beautiful swan and was shocked when she became so beautiful. But when the models went to Italy and Shandi had too much to drink she cheated on her boyfriend who had stuck by her even when she was ugly, with some Italian models. And then we got the great fortune in watching her call him to confess, and the inevitable freak out that ensued. It was a great yet uncomfortable moment. You had to feel for the bofo, however they are still together and he got a model back in return. So I guess he kind of got the better of the deal.

My vote is for Neleh, by far the easiest choice of the 4.


So, Rudy, Jack, Al and Neleh get votes from me this round. Time for you all to vote too. Voting lines close at 2 30 tomorrow. And lets hope some discussion springs from this, cause that is always fun.

For those of you who don't watch ANTM, this is how Shandi started out looking



and they turned her into this

Naj has made his votes from beyond the clubs wall

Rudy
Wendy
Yau Man
Neleh

Random Rudy moment from Naj, at the reunion how the crowd would laugh at anything he said.

Rudy:I'm gonna keep trying till I win
Crowd:Bwahahahahah

Rudy:Being in the Navy was harder than this
Crowd:Bwahahahaha


Reason for the Wendy vote was there was someone named Wendy Peppercorn in the sandlot and he hated Al.



Naj's Favo Neleh moment

At the final 5 Tribal Council during the Pachal and Sean fight, Neleh says "I have something to say" and Jeff was like "What?" and she goes "Just a minute, i'm trying to figure this our right now." And really had nothing to say
