Yes but taken my Olympic example, people can view and make their own judgement, which shouldn't effect judge's voting since they have no way in persuading or influencing the judges. It's basically just to have a look at the entries.

It becomes a little lackluster to see the winner announced then we get to see the entries.

Then we come to the simple fact that they said they were going to release the images the day after.

I personally don't see how simply looking and admiring the efforts made in each team's entries will effect judging in anyways.

Look, I'm sure the pork chops don't WANT outside views to affect their voting, but we're a pretty close knit community, and other peoples opinions hold MERIT to us. (sometimes. half the time. I don't know.)

When you see a half done chop that you wouldn't vote for FILLED with praise and acknowledgement for "little details", well, I'm guessing you'd go back to see if you missed something. And I bet they would go back and look at an entry they weren't going to vote for if they saw the rest of us gushing about the details.

It's unfortunate, and I wish we could see the entries too... but I get it.

For fucks sake mate. Stop acting like a child and wait patiently like everyone else.

Christmas? Really? I suppose nobody does anything festive before Christmas to prepare for the holiday? Everybody waits to Christmas Day to decorate, sing carols, party, catch a holiday flick or two? Bad analogy. Whatever. I can wait. I didn't think it would hurt to ask for a glimpse of the entries. Does it hurt? I offer my most humble and deepest heart-felt apologies to those I have offended. May your crushed spirits be healed by the magical tears of Anfa's llama.

Only 4 teams made it through the gauntlet, so only 16 members have a vested interest. David and I aren't the only ones who asked to see the entries. Look back through the thread.

I know that, but only 2 are still being asshats about it.

We(The Space Monkeys) released everything after the judging was done last year because that's how it's always been done and I can't remember any complaints. It's the fairest way I tells ya!

You know what would make everyone feel better? Chopping my source for tomorrow!

Yeah great idea kittie! yay!

Edit: do it

Thats yours. I chopped it already.

My parents allowed us to open one present the night before Christmas (when the anticipation was at its peak)

Actually that was a family tradition of ours too.

After a while we chose not to do that anymore. My brother would always open a present that required another present.

My mom would get really mad, and no one had a holly jolly Christmas

Me too!!!! But you already stated the Christmas analogy sucked.
