Announcing — Winner of the 2016 BoB Undead Poll
Day 1 of the Undead Poll had Goodbye Stranger and Nimona neck and neck with The Hired Girl and Challenger Deep a few paces behind. By Day 2 Echo was sneaking up with Nest making a valiant stab as well. Goodbye Stranger inched into the lead on Day 3, but barely as Nimona was breathing heavily on her tail. While a far distance behind, Gone Crazy in Alabama, The Marvels, and The Boys That Challenged Hitler were…er… making a healthy challenge in the rear. Day 4 saw Goodbye Stranger and The Hired Girl matched, stride for stride, barely staying ahead of Nimona.
In the end, it was Nimona who made it out of Hades with a 9 point lead over second place finisher Goodbye Stranger. A strong voting push on the final day tied Echo and Challenger Deep for third.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
NIMONA
for coming back from the Dead
to make it into the final contest!
