We’ve reached the exciting point in the random bracket challenge that for copyright purposes we like to call the Fantastic Four.
Here are the semifinal pairings:
2 Chili vs. 4 Ice-T
Chili won the Pat Frank Region as the number two seed.
Chili is a favorite soup or stew. Many recipes use a combination of tomatoes, beans or no beans, chili peppers and/or peppers, meat, garlic, onions, and cumin.
Ice-T was the winner of the Dean Walters Region as the fourth seed.
Ice-T is a rapper, songwriter, actor and producer. Since 2000, he has played NYPD Detective/Sergeant Odafin Tutuola on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He also does commercials for Car Shield, Tide and is on the back of my cereal box.
2 Patsy Cline vs. 5 Sony Walkman
Patsy Cline was a singer who was considered one of the most influential vocalists of the 20th century and was one of the first country music artists to successfully cross over into pop music.
