Why's Duke kicking so much ass this year? Who knows, maybe the guy got bored of waiting for his game to come out. Maybe he just finally exhausted his supply of bubble gum. Meanwhile, this is the end of the line for two of the contest's biggest bombs, Marth and (especially) Lucario.

Consensus:
Altair - 32.30%
Duke Nukem - 25.46%
Lucario - 16.87%
Marth - 25.37%

Best Five Picks:
1) Tomoyo - Altair 29.41% - Duke Nukem 29.72% - Lucario 14.74% - Marth 26.13% (+48.51)
2) amyvitality66 - Altair 32.00% - Duke Nukem 33.00% - Lucario 14.00% - Marth 21.00% (+48.28)
3) yoblazer33 - Altair 28.00% - Duke Nukem 30.00% - Lucario 16.00% - Marth 26.00% (+48.21)
4) Team Rocket Elite - Altair 31.25% - Duke Nukem 30.75% - Lucario 12.00% - Marth 26.00% (+48.20)
5) Weird Kirby Dude11 - Altair 30.00% - Duke Nukem 28.00% - Lucario 15.00% - Marth 27.00% (+48.07)

Tomoyo gets the top pick today, followed by amyvitality - apparently she was lucky that she posted her change 12 seconds after the match started instead of on time. Yoblazer takes third today and becomes the first person this contest to hit the cycle (a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th) which is pretty impressive with this many people in the contest. TRE gets his 5th top 5 as well today (a 1st, three 2nds and a 4th), and Weird Kirby Dude claims the #5 spot.

Meche!!! After a painful miss on day 31, the second Happyist has worked his way back into the top 5. The top 5 all remain the same today.
