I strongly believe that this Detour set is one of the best we've seen, ever.
Plus I would've killed to be a judge in this PAR wars round and single handedly eliminate the team that sent "Look What You Made Me Do" with my 10/10 score :kii:

Here's our exit interview with The Real Housewives of Pulse, walt91 & Crimsonio
How do you feel about your time in the race?
Walt: I sure wish it was longer! I feel like we sent songs we both really enjoyed as opposed to what we thought the panel of judges would like, so I'm proud of our authenticity.
Crims: I think my short time together made an impact.
Do you think you should've/could've done anything different?
Walt: I mean... if we sent different songs maybe we could've survived but I'm still happy with our picks, it's not our faults the judges are tasteless :kii:
Crims: No, the judges were tasteless and gave Madonna last place during Pride Month.
Any predictions?
Walt: jaden is going to win
Crims: Enya is coming to sweep.
Results for Leg 3 are coming in a couple hours

Making a big improvement this leg is...
1. Team Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. (filthy & tanooki ) Overall Score: 102.35 | Detour Rank: #1 | Roadblock Rank: #8 | PAR Wars Rank: #3 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.2Detour Results:(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.5)District: I was introduced to this song a few months ago and I instantly loved its sound and energy, it's just perfection. (10)Eidde: The piano throughout the song has always given it a really nice touch (8.8)Crimsonio: A song that sounds exactly like heaven, I added this to my playlist after listening! (9)Overall Score: 37.3
Roadblock Results:(Sent by Filthy)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: Such a danceable, feel good song. It's hard to not smile while listening to this (9)District: (8.7)Austin: I’m gonna be the lowest ranker for this . Sounds like it inspired Mambo #5. (5.4)Walt: (8.8)Overall Score: 31.9
PAR Wars Results:(The Light Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8)
District: I never really loved this but it's a solid song. I can enjoy her sound, but this has never fully clicked for me. (7.6)
Cynthia: I always think that I like Fiona Apple more than I actually do, and then I sit down to listen to almost any Fiona song not named Criminal and remember...oh. Fiona’s obviously talented, I just am not usually drawn to her sound. With that said, Shameika is such a beautiful little story. We as humans constantly underestimate the impact that we can have on someone’s entire life with just one passing encounter or random thing said in a fleeting moment, which is funny bc our own outlooks on life are the grand sum of several passing encounters and random things said to us in fleeting moments. If we are that easily affected by others why would we NOT think we can easily affect others just the same? This is a tangent no one asked for, so I’ll stop. But Shameika is the kind of song that reminds me why I always forget that I don’t like Fiona as much as I think I do. A good lyricist will make you forget that. (9)
Jtd: All of these were good/borderline great, and worthy of adding to stallie ’s “Chill” playlist or whatever she calls it these days (8.35)
Overall Score: 32.95
Solid performances across all three challenges boosted you two up big for your first leg win! You'll get a +2.7 bonus next leg

Continuing their rollercoaster of a run is...
2. The 17 Year Olds (@trilogy & woods )Overall Score: 99.8 | Detour Rank: #2 | Roadblock Rank: #6 | PAR Wars Rank: #5 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0Detour Results:
(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.0)District: If I had had to imagine what Quick Pace songs would sound like before the submissions came in, it would be this lol. The production makes the song, there's so many things happening but it works really well. (8.7)Eidde: The verses here have always been fire, it won the Sonemic RD for a reason (9.2)Crimsonio: Now why couldn't people submit more rap for this category? This is one of my favorite Outkast songs too. (10)Overall Score: 36.9
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Trilogy)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: This is a very nice song. It's got a pretty instrumental and some pleasant vocals to go along with it (8.6)District: (8.1)Austin: I loved this one. I wanted to waltz away with the vocalist and felt like I transported into the song. Really great vibe here (8.2)Walt: (8.0)Overall Score: 32.9
PAR Wars Results:
(The Dark Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (2.6)
District: the Nelly addition is not good... (3.3)
Cynthia: so I did not realize this was on the playlist so I’ve just been letting s**t play while I type up my thoughts in another window right? The SECOND this came on I immediately rushed back to Spotify to hit pause on this s**t lmao. I don’t even know how to explain why this song is so bad – does anyone? It’s just one of those things you have a visceral reaction to and you don’t ask questions, you just get the hell away from it before it does even more damage to you and you break out in hives. This choice is EVIL. f**king diabolical. (1.0)
Jtd: This gets worse every time I hear it… (3.1)
Actual Score: 10 ---> Reverse Score: 30
Here's a +2.2 bonus for the next leg, maybe it'll help with your team's stability!

I'm pretty sure the 1950 "Mambo No. 5" by Pérez Prado is what inspired the 1999 "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega, actually

Slipping slightly for the second leg in a row is...
3. Anne-Marie's Ninjas (MoD & maine )Overall Score: 96.25 | Detour Rank: #5 | Roadblock Rank: #5 | PAR Wars Rank: #7 | Bonus From Last Leg: +2.4Detour Results:(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.4)District: This was great, loved the delivery and how they reigned the song in for some parts before blasting it all back in the choruses, which was also really catchy. (8.8)Eidde: Probably the best song I know from NBT. The build-up to the last chorus is godly (8.6)Crimsonio: I was pleasantly surprised at this, sounds like a male version of P!nk. (8)Overall Score: 33.8
Roadblock Results:(Sent by James)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: That little guitar line never gets old. I can't imagine disliking the joyful energy of this song (9.1)District: (8.6)Austin: What a talent we lost too soon. such a good entertainer. Pretty predictable selection though. (7.5)Walt: (7.7)Overall Score: 32.9
PAR Wars Results:(The Dark Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (1.2)
District: This isn't the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. The spoken parts were specifically catchy, but everything else was not that good lol. (3)
Cynthia: yeah I don’t like how this sounds and the lyrics are on the shallow end. Jekyll/Hyde complex is not exactly the most original thing to explore as it is, so if you are going to go there you really need to dig deeper/be exceptionally creative with it. This...does not do that. (3)
Jtd: :joy::joy::joy: This sounds like a WWE theme song, but its worse than usual. (3.25)
Actual Score: 10.45 ---> Reverse Score: 29.55
You two have managed to be top 3 every single leg, but have been declining in placement all the while! Which will be more indicative of your long term run? You'll get a +2 bonus next leg

Experiencing a continued rise in their placements is...
4. Red Planets (BB🌕 & Fire )Overall Score: 98.15 | Detour Rank: #9 | Roadblock Rank: #2 | PAR Wars Rank: #8 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.8Detour Results:
(Warm Embrace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.6)District: A classic, it sounds more amazing every time. I love how bouncy this is, and the song doesn't feel as long as it is. (9.7)Eidde: (9.5)Crimsonio: This doesn't fit the theme at all? (4.0)Overall Score: 32.8
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Fire)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: The fun of this one really never gets old. I could listen to it a million times and still enjoy it as much as I always have (9.3)District: (8.5)Austin: This is a classic but it’s also one I would expect to be submitted so a few points deducted for being predictable. (7.5)Walt: (8.9)Overall Score: 34.2
PAR Wars Results:
(The Dark Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (1.8)
District: as a basic country ballad I don't hate this. gabby trash tho. (3.5)
Cynthia: this is actually my first time hearing this song. I didn’t intentionally go out of my way to avoid it, it just kind of worked out that way and then I found out she was a MAGAt and I was like, well, things happen for a reason. I don’t absolutely hate the sound of this, though. Melodically it's where I would expect a standard country ballad to be. Really it just makes me shake my head at how spineless it is. Look, I’m from the Before He Cheats era of music. Ain’t no hoping over on this side excepting hoping a hoe would. Cheat on a Xennial and see wtf happens, bih! Tell Gabby she's making gen z look soft, this is weak sauce. (4.0)
Jtd: This would’ve been like a 2.5 or 3/10 before I started working at Cracker Barrel but I hear it EVERY F*CKING DAY I work. (1.35)
Actual Score: 10.65 ---> Reverse Score: 29.35
You guys are having a nice upward trend! Here's a +1.8 bonus to help keep it up!

Rounding out the top 5 is...
5. Feeters (@chartf**ker72 & samo🦕 )Overall Score: 97.05 | Detour Rank: #8 | Roadblock Rank: #14 | PAR Wars Rank: #2 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.4Detour Results:
(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.5)District: This has been on non-stop rotation for me along with BBTC. Flawless track. (10)Eidde: Easily my favorite song from their recent album, the song is so simple in nature but makes it work really well (8.5)Crimsonio: The production is great, but the lead singer on vocals is so boring. This is like a guitar lullaby, please put me to sleep. (5)Overall Score: 33
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Samo)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: This is such a fun song. Kinda odd considering the lyrics, but it's still an example of the greatness of this era of music (8.9)District: (9.1)Austin: I have to be honest oldies are NOT my genre (I don’t even like 80s sounding songs) so I’m probably going to score these classics a lot lower than everyone else but this song sounds like a parody of a real song for me more than a real song. This is also like...way too predictable of a selection for this. Wish they mixed it up here. (4.1)Walt: (7.2)Overall Score: 29.3
PAR Wars Results:
(The Light Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.1)
District: Loved this for a while now. Simple but works really well. (8.6)
Cynthia: this is a vibe. How have I never heard of this chick before? I’m losing my touch in my old age :’( Imma go check her out now and for that, I want whoever made this pick to know they did their job even if it doesn’t ‘win’ here. (8.5)
Jtd: All of these were good/borderline great, and worthy of adding to stallie ’s “Chill” playlist or whatever she calls it these days (8.15)
Overall Score: 33.35
Despite losing the roadblock, having an otherwise consistent performance across the leg carried you two to the top 5. You'll get a +1.6 bonus next leg

Bouncing back is...
6. Mylo Shark (Mylo13 💜 & razorshark )Overall Score: 96.65 | Detour Rank: #13 | Roadblock Rank: #12 | PAR Wars Rank: #1 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.4Detour Results:
(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.9)District: Pretty good, definitely a very fun song. (8.0)Eidde: (7.0)Crimsonio: What a classic song, can't go wrong with this one (7.0)Overall Score: 30.9
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Mylo)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: The storytelling here works for me. I would've appreciate if the song changed a little more musically over the course of it, but as is it's pretty good (7.5)District: (7.9)Austin: I love the melody here somehow had never heard this before but this is so singalongable and kinda makes me feel like I am on splash mountain so I dig that (7.4)Walt: (7.4)Overall Score: 30.2
PAR Wars Results:
(The Light Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.3)
District: I was really feeling this! I was imagining myself listening to this live, the instruments sound great and I can't really nitpick anything I disliked here. (8.9)
Cynthia: people are tanking The Who?! Rankdowns are the devil. Too many of y’all are far too comfortable waving your bad taste around like half-washed draws on the clothesline blowing in the wind. (8.5)
Jtd: (8.45)
Overall Score: 35.15
Great rebound, here's a +1.4 bonus for the next leg!

Finally breaking out of 9th place is...
7. The Invisible Hand (Red & Sambalada )Overall Score: 95.1 | Detour Rank: #12 | Roadblock Rank: #4 | PAR Wars Rank: #6 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1Detour Results:
(Warm Embrace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.1)District: I love how much of an easy listen this is, I find myself coming back to this randomly. I love how delicate it is, and the singer's voice works really well with the song. (8.7)Eidde: Not gonna lie I’ve found this one to be a little overrated at times, but it’s still a pleasant tune (7.3)Crimsonio: This is an outstanding song, but I can't help but think this was not right for the theme. (7)Overall Score: 31.1 Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Samba)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: The instrumentation here is genuinely fantastic. I love the piano, and it only gets better once the horns come in later on (9.6)District: (9.2)Austin: I like when I get submissions I have never heard before. This was not one of those. I get why it was chosen and it is a fun song, good for a piano bar background music or an elevator. (5.3)Walt: (9)Overall Score: 33.1
PAR Wars Results:
(The Dark Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (1.5)
District: yeah nah (1.6)
Cynthia: I...don’t know what to do with this. Like I hate it but I don’t hate it at the same time? I’m confused. I think this might be a ‘good concept, now where’s the execution’ king of song. I'll drop it just below average. (4)
Jtd: These lyrics (3)
Actual Score: 10.1 ---> Reverse Score: 29.9
So far, Red has kept his promise that you two will never be as low as 9th again. You'll have a +1.2 bonus to continue this momentum next leg

Falling way down is...
8. The Ranimals (rom & ry4n )Overall Score: 94.6 | Detour Rank: #4 | Roadblock Rank: #3 | PAR Wars Rank: #11 | Bonus From Last Leg: +2.9Detour Results:
(Warm Embrace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.3)District: While I prefer Dreams, I thought this was still good. (8.4)Eidde: (7.7)Crimsonio: Yeah, you picked my second favorite Fleetwood Mac song. (10)Overall Score: 34.4
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by ry4n)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: An appropriately dreamy song. It's got a ton of the charm characteristic of the era. Really dig this one (9.4)District: (8.6)Austin: I feel like this song is used in every romantic comedy I have ever seen, but that’s because it’s good. (8.0)Walt: (7.7)Overall Score: 33.7
PAR Wars Results:
(The Dark Side)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (2.5)
District: sorry this bops. (6.4)
Cynthia: this song was so annoyingly mewling. I strongly disliked most of the album, too. Coming off Rude though, I really have no energy left to rip it. It’s just there. Points earned (well, lost in this case) for being the lead single to the album that gave us Dancing With Our Hands Tied, which I like to pretend is a loosie that we got on a soundtrack or something. (3.0)
Jtd: It’s bad but I kinda like the instrumental. (4.5)
Actual Score: 16.4 ---> Reverse Score: 23.6
You two had good detour and roadblock showings, but a poorer PAR Wars score cost you a few placements. Here's a +1.0 bonus to get back on track.

okay I know my signature says that I'm on a break from pulse but "dreams" gets docked points for not fitting the theme but "go your own way" by the same band on the same album doesn't?

Wheezing along into 9th place is...

(Quick Pace)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.8)District: I've been getting into a few Grimes songs lately, and between this and Kill V. Maim, I think I really need to check her albums out! I enjoy the quirkiness here a lot. (9.5)Eidde: (8.2)Crimsonio: Grimes is boring, this is boring and just goes nowhere. (5)Overall Score: 31.5
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Will)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: I like how the horns reflect the pace of the vocals at various parts of the song. The song just feels like a jam session which I honestly enjoy! (8.5)District: (7.7)Austin: LOL I want sunshine and ravioli too. Overall a nice listen and a rather strong choice to mix up the playlist here. (7)Walt: (8.3)Overall Score: 31.5

District: this was annoying for the longest time (3)
Cynthia: this latent misogynistic bulls**t. I don’t think whoever picked this knew how triggered I would be at this selection but whoo boy are YOU in luck to-f**king-day! I HATE this trash. They really wrote an entire song about ‘asking’ some girl’s dad for permission to marry her, then declaring ‘well I’m going to marry her anyway’ in some dick measuring contest, meanwhile the girl herself has NO autonomy or presence whatsoever in the entire 3 minutes and 45 seconds of space that this wastes. And the melody and production are basic as piss too. Not one redeeming factor to be found. f**k the patriarchy, and f**k this bulls**t ass song. I hope she cheated on him with a basketball player.
