Weekly Faction Forecast: November 30 to December 4, 2020
THE COYOTE HAS BEEN CUT!!! THE COYOTE HAS BEEN CUT!!! Deception and The Odd Couple were tied for most of the match, but it was in The Final Round the match was decided. Marisol answered the two-point question with ease while Marc Andreyko had some difficulty with his question: “What holiday are the Mad Hatter and the March Hare celebrating in Alice in Wonderland?” Disney fanatics know the answer was an Unbirthday Birthday, but since “Birthdays” are not usually a holiday, the question was challenged based on the wording. The challenge was upheld, a new question was asked, and Marc Andreyko received two points after answering the question.
Adam Collins faltered with his three-point question whereas Jeff Sneider was able to score his question. After taking the lead, Adam and Marisol received a difficult question for their five-pointer and incorrectly answered it. Even though, Adam Collins lost this match, Korruption is still in first place and has multiple paths to secure first place. More on this in a bit.
Founding Fathers had a great start in their match against Final Exam, scoring a perfect Round One eighteen to sixteen. However, Round Two is where things took a turn after landing on Eddie Murphy. John started to second guess himself rather than trusting his gut on several questions, which they went to multiple choice. They also allowed Final Exam to steal three points rather than two.

The score after the first half of Round Two was twenty-five to nineteen and things continued to get worse for the Founding Fathers. Final Exam choose Audrey Hepburn after landing on Spinner’s Choice. Lon and Paul talked it out and managed to score eleven points in Round Two, making the score thirty to twenty-five. The Founding Fathers fought back to avoid the TKO, but after two questions, Final Exam won the match. The Finals will have The Odd Couple facing Final Exam next week.
With two weeks left in this season, here is how the points-race will look going into Spectacular:

If Final Exam wins the Teams Tournament, this ties the RoxStars and The Quirky Mercs with the same score, Threshold Range, and rank possibility. Both factions will be fighting for fourth/fifth place and have two matches at Spectacular that are worth seven points. And honestly, I think Kevin Smith and Chris Jericho will win their matches. The Star Wars and Teams Title matches will most likely decide their outcomes. And if they manage to still be tied, then their records will decide their rank.
That’s not all. The Finstock Exchange will remain in third place regardless the outcome of the Singles Title Match. SWAG is the only faction that has a shot at taking down Korruption. They’ll be in three title matches that are worth five points each. If they can manage to win all fifteen points, SWAG will overtake Korruption and win the points-race.

However, if The Odd Couple wins, the RoxStars have a chance to climb up to third place. overtaking The Finstock Exchange. Dan Murrell would have to be defeated by Adam Collins and every RoxStar competitors will have to win their matches. If all of this happens, Korruption will be in first place, SWAG will remain in second, RoxStars will be in third, The Finstock Exchange will drop to fourth place, and The Quirky Mercs will be in fifth. Next week, I’ll go into further details in describing all the different scenarios of what will happen if one faction wins a particular match once we know who wins in the finals.
