Round 2, Seraphina v. Stair
It’s with this match that my predictions crumble so that they start becoming more fantastical. Or wrong.
So this match is Seraphina vs No Crystal Stair – Judged by Paul Griffin.
I had predicted “Seraphina v. The One and Only Ivan, Judge Paul Griffin. Prediction: Griffin likes animals, right? So he’ll select The One and Only Ivan.” So, not only was I wrong with the match up, I selected the title that had lost last time around. So there is no way for me to be right.
You know what would have been nice? If I had used my logic for the prior match for this match and tossed off a “coin toss” as a rationale for Griffin’s decision. Because, I kid you not, Griffin said “Okay, Rick just pleaded, begged, implored me to please flip the coin. So heads No Crystal Stair, tails Seraphina. Heads. It’s No Crystal Stair.”

I KNOW. It’s like picking the winning lottery names for the wrong day.
