I have tallied the votes for the final round, and while cookies may be a sometimes food, snarky commentary is always appreciated. The final vote:

1. Cookie Monster - 21  
**vs 4. Statler & Waldorf - 29**

Thanks to everyone who participated in this Madness!

I was so shocked Kermit or Rowlf didn’t make the top spot I couldn’t vote.

Nothing wrong with Statler and Waldorf though, I’m just glad it wasn’t Elmo! :eek:

While I’m sad Animal didn’t eat the cookie monster … thing … and take second spot, justice (and snark) prevail over all.

And on the Dope, could there ever be any doubt?

Go Go S&W!

So, what you’re really saying is that the score was:  
Cookie Monster - 21  
Statler - 14.5  
Waldorf - 14.5

Cookie Monster wins!!  
No? Damn…
