And the winners are…

@almacy vs. @matthewgagnon

WINNER: @matthewgagnon
MAJOR UPSET!  Early money in Vegas was on the side of @almacy. He even had JMU’s Digital 101 students helping him out and @krempasky unlocking his super secret tweets , but in the end it was all @matthewgagnon.

The "Howard Stern of Social Media" had more endorsements today than we thought we’d get for the entire tourney. He also had some of the funnier links (some NSFW ) we’ve seen. Good luck in the next round Matthew. You’ve earned it.

@ontheredline vs. @patrickruffini
WINNER: @patrickruffini
While it’s true that @ontheredline enjoys taking people to and from work – and occasionally home at the end of a night out drinking – the truth is she/he couldn’t carry his/her own against @patrickruffini today. We’re pretty sure Ruffini created the @BlueOrangeLine Twitter account just to talk trash to @ontheredline. Well, it worked .

Ruffini, with his tons of major endorsements and co-chairs , skates into the Elite Eight. Although kudos to @ontheredline for not wearing any pants.

@erickaandersen vs. @robertjameson
WINNER: @robertjameson
What happened to @ErickaAnderson?  She was all a twitter about the tournament – but spent more time posting about conservatives in snuggies and not enough concentrating on matters at hand.

Even after breaking the news about TI getting sentenced to prison, @robertjameson still had time to become the first participant to ask for a FamousDC billing code . [bonus points] His strong honesty propels him into the next round. Ericka, thank you for playing along and yes, first round is on us .

@leslieann44 vs. @levydr
WINNER: @levydr

@levydr brought the early noise by leveraging America’s favorite game show. – And then followed up with a bunch of strong endorsements.  Maybe @levydr was inspired today because he really wants a yogurt named after him , or maybe it’s because he was bored off his ass.  Regardless, strong work.

As for @leslieann44:  We hate to see one of our favorite competitors knocked out, but for someone who makes love and not war , it’s comes as little surprise that @leslieann44 had more important things on her mind.

WINNER: @mkhammer
Hamburger got a lot of endorsement love today.  And although @notlarrysabato didn’t play nice, she did show off her big gun – which was enough to knock of a seemingly sleepy Soren Dayton who admited he’s stolen robes from hotels. #FAIL
…

These girls like each other so much, they’re going out for drinks . That’s what we’re all about. Better friends through FamousDC. But someone has to win. @AlbrightDC straight brought the heat by working with the 5-0 . She also made us feel safe …and hungry . And everyone loves the Jesus Horse . Plus, the Democrat got a prized endorsement from across the aisle . @KatieFavazza was once again brilliant, and proved her popularity with the crowd. But maybe jumped by the shark . And really, @Albright risked arrest . That’s dedication.
…

Nothing at all from @ryangrim. Game, set, match, @seanhackbarth even though the "Flavor Savor" is getting cocky and cared more about seeing @mkhammer in a snuggie.

How do you fight a ghost? All you have to do is show up. Fortunately, Turk did a lot more than that. He also got into it with @notlarrysabato. Honestly, though: David, Mr. New Media, how did you not even show up for a contest that trended so high on Twitter, it was beating the iPhone?
…

PS: The answer to this is YES.

PSS: Line of the day – MichaelTurk : I like the #fdc prize, but naming fat free yogurt after me would be like naming a Cheeseburger after Nicole Ritchie.
