#yesterday I said the primary bracket would be easy for me to vote in but when I said that I thought for sure disco would lose to cupcakes

Best K.K. Song Primary Round 4 Results:

Steep Hill 54.8% / Spring Blossoms 45.2%

Robot Synth 54% / Lovers 46%

Bubblegum 53.5% / Cruisin' 46.5%

Jongara 52% / Forest Life 48%

Bossa 51.4% / Metal 48.6%

Disco 50.3% / Stale Cupcakes 49.7%

We're entering the semi finals of the primary bracket, but since this is double elimination, these songs will have to win three more times to take the whole thing. Round 5 starts tomorrow!

Since I've already placed songs in the secondary bracket in reverse order and mirrored order, this time I've manually placed the losers in the secondary bracket based on what was least likely to result in rematches. Below the cut are the potential future rematches as well as which ones I avoided by placing the songs where they are:

All these rematches would potentially occur during the green three way round. It's still possible that there will be rematches in the yellow round, but that is impossible to avoid.

Stale Cupcakes: Avoided: Drivin', Salsa Possible Rematch: Soul

Forest Life: Avoided: Ragtime Possible Rematch: Ska

Lovers: Avoided: Two Days Ago Possible Rematch: Lucky

Cruisin': Avoided: Animal City Possible Rematch: None

Metal: Avoided: Rockin' Possible rematch: None

Spring Blossoms: Avoided: K.K. Rider Possible rematch: None

so as you can see, the songs on the right hand side are there because there is no way they could end up in a rematch. Lovers and Forest Life are equally as likely to end up in a rematch on either side as there is still one song in the running they've faced before on both sides, so I just avoided putting them near those songs so they won't run into them until the three way poll. Stale Cupcakes is twice as likely to rematch on the right than on the left, as there are two songs still in the running on the right, so it had to go on the left.
