Congratulations to Lane for winning week 20 of the Tie Showdown! Lane was there in the beginning, competing valiantly in Week 1, and has repeatedly produced some of our favorite presentations (writing on his computer). This week, twenty later, Lane has finally entered the Tie Showdown Hall of Champions with 44% of the total votes cast, beating out some other close competitors. It's rare that such an obscured tie wins (to my knowledge, it's never happened, and I know everything...), but the Lane's tie-tease was all the voters really needed to see -- several shimmering striped shades of red is a stupendously satisfying succulent success recipe. Ben got 2nd place. Big surprise. (It's getting really boring writing that! I don't know how many more jokes I have about being in second place... )
Other notable participants: Derrald with his flow chart and severely out of context holiday tie were a fan favorite (29%). Cat (26%) and Jeff (20%) also brought some fantastic ties this week.
Congratulations again to Lane for winning the twentieth week of the Tie Showdown, his first wooden key, and his rightful place in the Tie Showdown Hall of Champions.
