Chocolate Column 10: Getting up there
A aay late because I forgot to upload yesterday but here we are! 3 more marbles are set to be eliminated, putting us into the top-8 of this event. Who will be the elite 8? Can Fudge go further and maybe for the win?
Chocolate Column 10: Forza Fudge!
The first race was nervy, calm, then a little nervy at the end as Fudge gets a little too casual but cracks the top-10. The next round obstacles were more aggressively activated but Fudge was able to avoid the chaos and win their first race. Starting in the special first spot for the first time, Fudge acts as a front runner early but drops back into the pack. It matters little as Hop was so far back that most of the rest of the field could cruise home. Fudge is now in the top-8 and shows no signs of stopping!
Other News
In other news, the Midnight Wisps are getting a facelift. News broke across the paddock as the Midnight Wisps pulled a 2019 Thunderbolts and changed the whole makeup of the team. Wispy will remain on the team however, but they will be joined by Twila, Eve, Amaya, and Yvaine going forward. On my way out of the paddock and back to the hotel I could already see updated merchandise being freshly printed for tomorrow. I feel bad for the fan I saw with the “Wispy, Wespy, Wispy, Wispy & Waspy 4 EVR” tattoo on his back, but choices are choices.
Misty’s elimination after a good top-10 showing ensures no captains will win for their team. This is an opportunity for potentially a less-celebrated marble to win it all for their team and maybe even snatch the captaincy for themselves…
After languishing at the back for a number of races this batch, Hop is eliminated in 9th place. This is a good showing for the Jungle Jumpers and I am sure fans will be pleased with their results. Hop said after the race, “It’s sad to lose so close to the finish, but overall I am happy to have given my all and given the fans a result to cheer for.”
The top-8 is upon us. When you hear from me again we will have reached the end of Marble Survival. Can Fudge go the distance? I hope so! Stay tuned, and Stay Sweet!

The Return of Marble Survival Ratings!
With the finale of Marble Survival Season 2 looming, it's time to revisit the individual marble performances to date! This type of ratings system did a great job predicting the finale of MS100, so let's see if it does well for Season 2. Score is just the inverse of finishing position (e.g., 1st place in the 18-marble race is worth 18 points). The rating more or less scales this score by the marble's average finishing position relative to the middle finisher, with a bonus for surviving each episode).
https://preview.redd.it/olwsjzhyp0xe1.png?width=351&format=png&auto=webp&s=12a8024196b4ba9807503d416072f475d6f56ecf
My key takeaways:
Gnome and Pinky Panther are the clear favorites to win it all. Going by wins to date, Gnome leads the pack with 3 and Pinky Panther is next with 2.
If looking for a pick to round out your podium prediction, I would suggest Yellah, who leads the field in podiums with 7! 6 of which have which have come in the past 8 races, in which time their worst finish has been 4th twice. Much like MS 100, Mellow Yellow seems to know how to survive these things and is again trending upward late. Until they show they know how to win and not merely survive, however, I would keep them as a 2nd or 3rd place pick.
Sheet has a very real chance of claiming the overall points and ratings championships and has guaranteed a scoring podium despite the 12th-place finish. Despite the drop-off in the middle rounds, such consistent performance at the top of the pack for the large-field rounds has to be admired.
Gnome and Pinky Panther are the clear favorites
Prediction: I never rely exclusively on these model picks and Gnome is trending down a little more than Pinky Panther, so I will pick Pinky Panther to win it all and Yellah to take 3rd place. Dash is the only other marble with two wins to date, so they seem like a reasonable 2nd-place pick. Pinky Panther - Dash - Yellah, lock it in.
The extended race-by-race results are below

Why so little hype for MS finale?
Pretty much the title. The previous season, despite receiving much more criticism over here, had lots of hype and daily discussions and what not.
I remember the hype for the final. This time there are more teams and a full week before, yet no one seems to be talking (or caring about it). Why?
I think this proves what I have been saying. The previous season was better than this one. The views support that too.
Either way, it is my favorite competition so I really hope they dont end it. Just make S3 a mix of S1 and S2 like detailed in my my previous post and I think we are good to go.

Petition for Letting the Marble Survival Champion to Secure a M1 Spot
The Oceanics last year got the Marble Survival Champion, and they prequalified for M1S5, so I think this should become a tradition. If any currently-not-in-M1 team got the Marble Survival Champion (e.g. Dash, Shimmer, Diego, Fudge), they should secure a M1 spot regardless of their previous performances or their popularity.
Since JMR consider Marble Survival as a main tournament just like ML and M1, then its Champion should get some recognization.
