    Stephen Amell advances to round 2, though Bruce Lee had a good showing. This next tie will be the final tie I'll post this evening. I hope to continue this same time tomorrow evening. We finish the night with an intriguing clash which is a Power Ranger vs Power Ranger battle...




    David Yost (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)

    Thuy Trang (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)

    It's David Yost, who played Billy, the Blue Power Ranger, taking on Thuy Trang, who played Trini, the Yellow Power Ranger.

    I guess this comes down to which of these Power Rangers do you prefer. Well folks, cast your votes now.

    Gonna go for Thuy Trang on this one. I always thought Yost was the weakest actor of the group.

    This is a tough tie, performances aside all I'm thinking is do I choose the guy who was bullied on-set and felt he was eventually pushed out because of his sexuality or do I choose the girl who died in a car crash a few years after she finished on the show...

    Ultimately just going on who I personally liked more as an actor I'm voting for David Yost, but RIP Thuy Trang. :(

    :eek: I didn't know any of that regarding the power rangers, awful stuff.

    only thing I remember is fancying the pink one so I won't bother voting here

    The stuff about David Yost only came out in an interview there a few years ago, but apparently some of the production crew on Power Rangers were pretty horrendous towards him and consistently using homophobic slurs, and saying that he couldn't be a superhero because of his homosexuality... It must've been pretty bad because after he left the show he spent years trying to "cure his homosexuality" through conversion therapy and eventually had a breakdown, ending up doing a stint in a mental institution before finally being able to accept himself. I was only reading about it there again the other day because I saw an interview with some of the new Power Rangers for the movie and they were talking about how the Power Rangers is so open and accepting of everyone because the new cast are all from different ethnic backgrounds and there's "always been good diversity in the cast" and I just thought these new lads clearly don't know the whole story...

    Anyway, gone slightly off topic, but there's your not-so-fun fact of the day.

    Ciara Renée was not good and one of the weak links (Falk Hentschel being the other) in Legends of Tomorrow, but Cam Clarke was amazing as Leonardo so he gets me vote (and also it gives me more hope Rob Paulsen may appear in this tournament).

    The only thing I disagree with in this post is the implication that there were only two weak links in LoT. :pac:

    Cam Clarke!

    To make it emphatic Cam Clarke

    I gotta go with Masi Oka, I only watched the first two seasons, but I really enjoyed Hiro's enthusiasm and he brought the fun side to Heroes...

    I never watched 6MDM but I'm gonna vote for Majors because I think Katie Cassidy is worse than awful.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,297 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Lee Majors.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I'm gonna give it to Katie Cassidy (although I never think she was used properly in Arrow until Season 4)...

    Lee Majors shades what I believe was the closest tie thus far in this game and moves on. Our next tie...
