Price is Right - Bob Barker barely beat Adam Sandler

West Wing - President has MS, Leo has had two heart attacks. And literally anyone can beat Josh - he can't even stand up against a secret plan to fight inflation

the friday night lights cast is definitely not just kids. it's literally about a high school football team and most of the guys end up pretty jacked by the end of the series, particularly tim riggins.

Stranger Things - yeah David Harbour could kick my ass but he doesn't need to, Eleven would literally kill me
Price is Right - one old man and then maybe a couple people in silly costumes, easy
12 Monkeys - this is one of those shows where the actors don't look like characters, they just look like actors, but yeah sure sci-fi stuff makes it a rough fight
Better Call Saul - Mike kills me and everyone else here, including the sci-fi people

Dinosaurs - Really dinosaurs? Probably not. But these goofballs would be like fighting Barney
Friday Night Lights - I wouldn't like go down hard but I'd definitely go down
The West Wing - a bunch of old rich people. Easy fight. Buuuuuut...
Succession - a bunch of old rich people, except one of them is actively near-death and none of the others have ever had to lift a finger because generational wealth.

To be fair, unlike Barney, these dinosaurs are scaly. Your fists are probably going to be skinless by the time you beat up the dad or after like everyone but the dad and the teenage boy. And with claws they'll probably shred your face off.

So yeah...
Price is Right- Only got one old man to fight over anything else in that tier
West Wing- These people are White House workers, you can literally target them at a time when they're exhausted from a 22 hour work day for like 5 days for an easy win.

This and pretty much every round of this is wildly left up to interpretation.

The way I imagine it is that it's a fist fight, so no like weapons are gonna be involved, but if Eleven punches me and I just so happen to go flying across the room, what am I gonna do, say she cheated?

Hey, there's also the models who show off the prizes. And these days some of them are men.

Yeah, Price is Right is still the answer here but it wouldn't be the free fight everybody's saying it is.

Price is Right
Succession

If the PiR wiki can be trusted, it's only had three permanent male models, so I figure that should be much easier than Better Caul Saul or whatever weirdness 12 Monkeys has.

West Wing's cast looks older, but it also looks way bigger, so I feel like I'd maybe have better luck with Succession.

Hm. This is just vague enough that it could be different answers depending on how I interpret things. Do I fight them one on one? Do they all bum rush me at once? I'm going to guess its the former as there are very few mobs I could deal with regardless of the people in them.

First group -
Better Call Saul - There are too many killers/crime lords/generally dangerous people here.
Stranger Things - I would say this might have the best chance depending who I'm fighting first, because it is a group of weird looking kids that all weight like 80 pounds. However, the kids in this show have some of the dumbest plot armor I've ever seen. I feel like I could be given a gun, one of the kids would be blindfolded and hogtied, and when I pulled the trigger it would explode in my hands. That's not even considering 11 or Harbour who would absolutely destroy me.
12 Monkeys - I don't know much about this show, but it looks like a show of relatively healthy young people. I don't see anyone that looks particularly dangerous from that photo, but that's still a lot of people and I'm sure some of them are fairly strong.

Which means...

PRICE IS RIGHT. Drew Carey and a bunch of models? I would absolutely win this fight. Models thrown into the Plinko board, Drew Carey stuffed in the trunk of a new car, it would be a massacre.

Group 2 -
Dinosaurs - Why are you maniacs voting this? What is wrong with you? "Dinosaurs have little arms" who said this was a boxing match? When the t-rex starts eating you are you going to ask the ref to stop the fight because they aren't playing by the rules? This is a cast of dinosaurs and you wouldn't be able to hurt any of them other than maybe the grandma or the baby.

Friday Night Lights - Football players would definitely beat me in the fight. Maybe if I only fought their punter and their backup punter I'd have a shot

Succession/West Wing - I know nothing about either of these shows so I'm going by pictures. One looks slightly older, slightly more tired, and slightly more likely to be distracted by the North Korean government threatening to nuke us.

As someone who occasionally edits the TPIR Wiki (I know in my heart you think I'm white & nerdy), I can confirm that this is true: Rob Wilson, James O'Halloran, and.... former NFL receiver Devin Goda, the one who singlehandedly would clean most of our clocks. You also have to take the announcers into account, so there are more guys than you realize. That said, of them, only Rich Fields is a threat, though Rod Roddy's sequined jackets are... something. All that and me refusing to hit Alexis Gaube after how many times she's made my day are why I wouldn't beat that cast in a fist fight.

It really sounds to me like most of you don't know anything about the show, so I thought I would say.

Based on the pictures given:

Stranger Things -- my first reaction was TPIR, but Drew Carey was a marine and he has a few male models and announcers backing him up. ST just looks like a bunch of kids. (Edit: I realize this is flawed logic, but then I have to learn what the other two shows are, too, and I'm sure they have caveats to them as well.)

Dinosaurs -- I'm not scared of a bunch of animatronics.

I am pretty sure they have some kind of mutant powers, which is why I didn't choose that.

Friday Night Lights and Price Is Right are obviously shows we have no chance against, so I went with a drug-infused older cast. Pretty simple.

For the latter, I operated under the presumption that the West Wing has secret service agents.

The funny thing here is that I didn't. I made my choice and then read the thread. Because that's how IMO Bracketeering works. People give their own uninformed snap reactions since there's only like 10 seconds to decide.

Which is how I ended up picking a show with mutant powers and undoubtedly much scarier things than what was depicted in the picture. Sidenote: Is it really a fistfight if you're unarmed but they're using superpowers?

I led with you having a bias is fine for a reason, as these are supposed to be snap judgments.

You did also quip at Suprak, so glass houses and all that.

But there's nothing wrong with having those biases, that's what makes these topics fun (in theory). I'm also not trying to argue anyone into changing their votes since, again, the fun of these topics is the snap pick not the arguments.

And this is fair. I misconstrued the wording of your previous post. My apologies!

Obviously I only have minimal experience with Bracketeering. I've played it a couple times but I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be the same snap pick format.

And to add, for everyone: Sorry if I'm being a buzzkill. I'll shut up now.
