I really need to set up a reminder to post these tournament results on time. :P
Anyway, we have a winner!
The Pancake Batter Anomaly (e1-11) is deemed the best episode of Season 1! It beat out The Peanut Reaction (e1-16) in a very close one: 19-18!
In the 3rd-place Consolation, The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization (e1-9) defeated The Middle Earth Paradigm (e1-6) by that same result: 19-18!
(The Pancake Batter Anomaly also beat out The Middle-Earth Paradigm easily: 24-13. So, no problem with the tiebreaker rules from the semi-final.)

CLICK HERE Thanks to all that voted in any or all of the Season 1 tournament rounds! I hope you enjoyed this tournament as much as last time. :D
In terms of possible future episode tournaments, I estimate this current Season 5 tournament to start in July this year and Season 2 to start around December this year.
So start taking notes on what were your favorite or best episodes. It feels like there are a lot of good ones so far this season. Sheldon vs. the chair in The Infestation Hypothesis. Wil Wheaton returns in The Russian Rocket Reaction. The Halloween episode The Good Guy Fluctuation. The girlfriend proposal in The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition. The tiara moment in The Shiny Trinket Maneuver. The 100th episode The Recombination Hypothesis. Everything in The Beta Test Initiation. You get the idea. Take notes!
Enjoy the rest of Season 5! :D
