So, on the tiebreaker. Does this mean we might not have a winner for quite a while? lol. After all, they are "America's couple" and those always work out so well (sarcasm font). On a serious note, I doubt they will break up in the next 2 weeks (or will they? lol)

If he's a Joe Alwyn, yes. If he's a Joe Jonas, no.

I've come up with tiebreakers in the past that were a bad idea, including one that created an unresolvable logical paradox.

I feel that this one honors the 2023 season by focusing on what matters most.

I've decided to call an audible on the tiebreaker: There will be no breakup date, but Travis will propose Feb. 11, 2024

Knuckle slurve has been thrown! Ice Spice will break in and propose to George Kittle!

Yeah, I had a fun time explaining Ice Spice (including her new hit, "Think U The Shit (Fart)") to my nearly 75 y/o mother this morning.
