Unlucky Claw - I will do my best.
Pleasantly surprised - toughest set of questions yet for me (as in I had to guess more answers). Fashion designers not a good subject for me.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Well done sharplea and the other round winners.
I'm comforted in the knowledge that I lost due to inferior knowledge of Michael Jackson's albums!

Will do the draw in a minute. To me it looks completely open and picking the winner seems super tough. TightEnd would have been odds on so his departure has left it open.
Nakor and sharplea are two time semi-finalists with sharplea only one point behind TightEnd in the last final.
Longines and HutchGF have both scored 20/20 previously and will be hard to beat whilst POWWWWWWWW has been consistent and ruud of course defeated TightEnd.
Every match in the semis will be tough.

Nakor will play:
Longines
And as it happens, a quick check back shows that Longines was also a semi-finalist last time. Great match.
