The Thanksgiving Fantasy League: Round 3 Results

by Kathleen Richards

Round 3 is over and the results are in!

Those of you riding that Deep Fried Turkey wave are going to find yourself very disappointed this round. After some strong showings in all of its matchups, Deep Fried Turkey has been defeated by the number one seed in the Meats division. But hey, at least it still netted you a cool 204 points before it went out. That's not so bad, is it?

I guess it's no real surprise that the final four we're left with is all of our number one seeds. These foods are Thanksgiving classics, after all. But now that we've chosen our favorites from each category, we're left with the difficult task of choosing our most favorites from our favorites. Does White Meat Turkey all on its own have the strength to make it to the end? Will we skip straight to dessert and crown Pumpkin Pie the winner? Did any vegetable ever really have a shot at taking home the title? Is stuffing really as good as everyone thinks it is? (Yes.) We'll answer all these questions for ourselves in the upcoming rounds.

The winner of each matchup is highlighted in bold. Remember, if one of your team members lost their matchup, you still get points for every percentage point they scored, you just won't earn any more points for that team member since they won't be in any future matchups.
