The wishful thinking caption scenario that I played out for Bloo in the thread last night just about played tonight.

They just need a competitive read in a few places and a mild break in the percussion caption and they will take 2nd.  They have already been above BD this year... It's neither out of the question nor should it be a surprise.  They are holding (and have been) a silver placement in GE nearly all season.

It's more of a feat (if you think about it) for them to hold in 3rd with that consistent GE placement.  The percussion situation is the anchor holding them in place.

Or tonight could be their one lucky break, and tomorrow they'll be back behind BD by more than a half-point again.

DCI scoring system is just baloney.  Why not call it what is is-- a ranking system?  Every judge scores up, there are no ties which is pretty unbelievable.  If they are going to use objective scores, then score objectively not comparatively.  Its sad to see great groups getting 8.x when in reality they would score higher, if there weren't 10 more corps to play after them.

I couldnt watch cadets with a prop turned out of the form. 

I'm far from OCD but, Lord please, let them make that last placement of those things clean tomorrow.  They've got EVERY single placement good enough for me (even the 'disunity' one looks right to my eye) except that last one.  The one between the 30 and 40 is almost always off kilter just a bit.   When they go to cover them, I'm thinking "fix it fix it fix it."  

I'm starting to think they do it intentionally just to annoy me.

It's not a lucky break... That's my point.  This spread and placement is closer to what we had seen most of the season with both Blue's together.  There's no reason to believe that Bloo WILL take second... but there is also no reason to be surprised if they do.
