Tony Pool Winner Announced! And How Did You, Me, and My Dog Do?
Alright ladies and gentle-blog readers, it’s time to announce who is taking home that fancy dancy Apple Watch!
But before we announce the winner . . .
If you remember, last Friday I posted my predictions on who was going to win, along with your predictions (based on the Tony Pool) . . . and my dog’s. Let’s see how that little bitch did, shall we?
- I scored an 83%, getting 20 out of the 24 correct (I missed both Featured Actor in a Play and Featured Actress in a Musical, Leading Actress in a Musical and the big prize of Best Musical). B-. Not bad. Much better than last year’s score of 69%.
- You scored a 79%. And this is where I stick my tongue out and say, “Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah. I beat you!”
- And how did Koda do? She got 5 out of 24 correct . . . or 21%. I guess that means this business is definitely not going to the dogs. Heyo! I’ll be here all week!
And now . . . the winner of the Apple Watch is . . .
Drumroll please . . . .
Drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrddrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrd . . .
Vanessa Raffio!
Congrats, Vanessa! You won the Apple Watch! Email me for details on how to pick up your hot new item.
Vanessa scored a magnificent 92% (22 out of 24 correct) missing only Featured Actress in a Musical and Featured Actor in a Play (Me too, Vanessa, me too). And, get this . . . she wasn’t the only one who got 22 out of 24 correct! We had a tie this year, but Vanessa’s answer to the tiebreaker is what put her over the top.
Oh man, this was exciting. I can’t wait for next year. I wonder who the favorite is for Best Musical?
See you then!!!
