Who Is The Least Fishy?
One of the great things about Hugh Hewitt's radio show is the high caliber of guests that appear on a regular basis. Hugh is smart enough to realize that there are many informed and entertaining voices out there with a good deal to offer. He provides them with an opportunity to speak to a national radio audience and they provide a wide ranging variety of insightful commentary for said audience.
But who is the Alpha guest? The guest that would most be missed if they didn't make their weekly appearance? I have my opinions on the matter as I'm sure do most listeners of the show. But rather than engage in a long and fruitless debate over the merits of each guest, we've decided to settle the matter with a little competition.
The format is simple. We've assembled a list of twenty of the regulars on Hugh's show. It's mostly based on the listing from Hugh's webpage, with a little bit of tweaking. The twenty names were divided into two pools of ten each.
The preliminary round will be an elimination round. Voters will select their favorite from among ten choices. The top eight vote getters in each pool will advance. The two at the bottom will receive lovely parting gifts. The Time-Life folk series if I'm not mistaken.
After voting is completed in both pools the remaining sixteen will be seeded #1 through #16 based on the number of votes they received. Then tournament play will begin with #1 facing #16, #2 facing #15, etc. So it's not only important to survive the elimination round, it's key to get as many votes as possible to improve your seeding.
We'll play down to eight, then the final four, and finally the showdown between the two survivors. And then the Guest of Guests will be crowned.
Today the competition kicks off with the first pool. Voting will remain open for only two days, so get in early. On Monday voting on the second pool will begin and by next Thursday we'll be ready for the first one on one face-offs.
