As sure as Shannon Noll's injustice fuels his current degenerative state, everybody's favourite knockout competition is back!

A simple game...
The lowest scoring team is eliminated each week, until we have a winner!
You can get immunity from elimination if you had the highest score the week before (up until round 10) - in which case the 2nd lowest scoring team is eliminated.
So, who has what it takes to be World Idol?
Eliminated TeamsR1: Christchurch (1021)
R2: Buenos Aires (1237)
R3: Mexico City (1164)
R4: Dublin (1068)
R5: Cape Town (1193)
R6: London (1077)
R7: New York (1122)
R8: PNL (1250)
R9: Moscow (1227)
R10: Berlin (1285)
R11: Tokyo (1201)
R12: Cairo (1209)
R13: New Delhi (1215)
R14: Rio de Janeiro (1167)
R15: Pacific (1281)
R16: Toronto (1479)
R17: Beijing (1441)
Winner: Seoul
You can't take over Idol from me and then diss my boy Nollsy like that. The disrespect is disgusting.

Haha :P oh Nollsy
Whilst still fresh in my memory, I will re-use a good ol Simpson quote that jumped in my memory to describe our first eliminated team from World Idol...

With a score of 1021, we say hello, and goodbye to Christchurch.
I will officially use simpson quotes to describe all eliminations this year, come to think of it.

Well! This is one of those rare teams that immunity has saved a club from elimination :o
Scoring 1175, Dublin would normally be eliminated. But, having top scored last week, will live to spud another day.
This means we say farewell to Buenos Aires, with a pretty reasonable elimination score this early in the year of 1237.
The true fans will get this caption-less one, which I feel captures how Buenos Aires lost with a higher score.

You can keep the shoes!
Hahahaha, what a reference!
This week, we tip our hat to Mexico City (1164). But it's not all bad, as Sam Walsh announced himself in the same week. It's almost like Mexico City don't need to be careful, coz...

Ah, how the mighty have... injured.
Dublin had to call upon debutant Lachie Schultz to take the lead at one point, where things went astray quickly...

The other choice I had was clear, but subtitled.
I'm not doing the uneducated any favours.

They've had a good run of form recently, but will feel the full brunt of a poor performance today, with Cape Town (1193) the latest team to exit World Idol.

A much better start to a season, yes, but London hit the wall with a tired 1077. Their exit was longer than usual but, eager to join the rest of our eliminated teams, they are finally...

They may have defied expectations in the first month of the year, but New York have parked it somewhere. Can they get their form back?

*PNL reading they've been eliminated with the 5th lowest score of the round - a decent 1250*
What the hell is that?!

They were second place not too long ago! It's hard to believe Moscow (1227) is really gone...

They've done well making it this far, but there is one 136 scoring team that is thanking their lucky stars Tokyo (1201) is leaving the idol this week. In the end, Tokyo were just over stimulated?

Is Cairo (1209) the latest elimination from World Idol?
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fF0Havte3Os/hqdefault.jpg)
Remaining teams in World Idol are:
1 Toronto Wolves
2 New Delhi Tigers
4 Beijing Thunder
7 Rio de Janeiro Jaguars
8 Seoul Magpies
10 Pacific Islanders
(https://media.tenor.com/images/b210f026b779a795619dd1a6d1660aff/tenor.gif)
I'd say they've been either the 2nd or 3rd best team so far, but a couple of their players went missing this week as New Delhi slumped to a score of 1215. Below, is real footage of Ricochet trying to find them, before elephants had to step in and de-escalate the situation...

Using a slight change in the probabilities [Favouring the last 5 weeks more than the previous 8], the probabilities of elimination for this upcoming week:
Elimination %
Seoul 31.90
Pacific 28.34
Rio 19.31
Beijing 18.65
Toronto 1.80
The up-and-down team of the comp (to paraphrase PB) hit a big low this week, with Rio de Janeiro (1167) succumbing to its lowest score of the year. Interestingly enough, Toronto were next in the gun this week!
I think Ralphy best describes the mood at Rio week-to-week

Whilst I'm out venting, I got eliminated with the highest-low score so far, all the way back in freaking Round 10...
Bah, humbug
The final 4....
Elimination %
Seoul 36.04%
Pacific 34.47%
Beijing 23.49%
Toronto 6.00%
They're not normally a praying team, but if you're up there, please save us Tom Mitchell, as Pacific (1281) exits the World Idol.

Three remain!
Elimination %
Seoul 44.54%
Beijing 38.49%
Toronto 16.97%
They might have been the favourites for the Idol & the premiership, but we say goodbye to Toronto (1479) with... the first decent elim score of the year. Despite form, you're out.

It was a tremendous H&A season, with many top-scoring weeks to show for it. But despite having HGA, and matched directly up to their opponents in Seoul, Beijing (1441) couldn't get the job done.
This would be them if the lightning came after the Thunder!

CONGRATULATIONS TO SEOUL for taking out the World Idol!
It was an incredible finish to year, where despite finishing 6th on the ladder, they averaged 154 in the last month to take out the Idol!
