Contests can still be plenty of fun even if we know what the strongest entrants are. There are always going to be debatable matches at some point unless the bracket is dreadful (like this one, though there were still a few). I think people are majorly overreacting because this contest has been so dull. I don't understand people saying they want contests to end when they can just choose not to get involved in them if they prefer, it can't be worse than endless polls like "what is your favourite colour" and "how often do you eat dessert" lol...
