PJ is single handedly responsible for the Oceanics dominance. Bro is giving out free bulletin board material.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Sometimes teams look light sometimes heavy. I guess it boils down to what side of the bed that marble woke up on that day.

[@HeatherAckroyd]

I only just learned that this podcast existed. As a Raspberry Racers fan, I hope they do end up in the top 2. I think Rezzy still has some surprises. As an aside, I had to crank my volume up to 100% and I could just barely hear you guys.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Rezzy is the most fascinating marble remaining because they have yet to be on the podium, yet still remain in the top 10. And thank you for the note Heather, we will make sure to continue to improve on the recording!

[@sorenbarker443]

I’m just glad they didn’t put Razzy in as the racer. Rezzy is a superior racer when it comes to endurance.

[@maximeloon]

As a Chocolatiers fan, this has been so much fun to watch. I can't believe my normally middle of the pack team is competing with the big dogs, and they actually have a decent shot! Week 9 was a huge scare and I totally thought it was over after that DNF in race 5, but we've had two consecutive great weeks! Go Chocs!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Great resilience from BonBon to pull himself out of elimination that week. Expecting big things from him going forward

[@Magicwillnz]

As an Oceanics fan, I was just hoping they'd make it to the 50% mark. That first week performance scared me. But they've been surprising me every week so maybe their losing streak is finally broken. I refuse to jinx them by making a specific prediction but I'm hopeful.

[@Cruz_rivetti]

Yesss I agree

[@lyntruza]

Same here.

[@user-lc6ix4tg7y]

After reviewing the footage, I found that the Swax dnf in race 76 was due to the bell carousel. Swax came down the bottom, and was struck by 2 silver bells, the first not being too big of a hit, and the second sending Swax directly into the chaos tubes and causing a DNF.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Thanks for clearing that up. Scary DNF that was.

[@aqueousmink5128]

I’ve been a huge fan of the Oceanics for years, and for years they’ve had a terrible record spotted with the occasional triumphant victory. I’m really hoping they can make history here.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

It hasn't been great to be an Oceanics fan, but their time might be coming here soon.

[@Spyro_62]

Bumblebees fan here...in the beginning, I was wondering why we went with a reserve to run. Nowadays, I'm advocating for my boy Swax to be more than a reserve. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I really like how he races

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Agreed let's get Swax on the team full time. Could be running great as a reserve because he doesn't have a ton of mileage though.

[@Spyro_62]

@@JellesMarbleCastPodcast I think this whole event has been a great way for some marbles, especially reserves to show what they're made of. Just look at Swax and Slimelime for example.

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

The only thing that can stop the Oceanics is a water section on one of the final courses.

[@EricSundquistKC]

RIP to the O'rangers, but they really had it coming. Over the last 5 weeks, they have only scored an average of 5 points* above elimination, while all other remaining teams have scored between 14-23 points* above being eliminated. *Points above elimination, last 5 weeks* Oceanics - 23 Purple Rockets - 21 Bumblebees - 20 Team Primary - 16 Thunderbolts - 16 Chocolatiers - 15 Limers - 15 Mellow Yellow - 15 Raspberry Racers - 14 O'rangers - 5 _*Points are adjusted to Week 12 equivalents to account for weekly point deflation_

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Absolutely. This was coming from a mile away. Hope they can carry some momentum from being top 10 into M1

[@No_Sleepee]

Day 1 Limer's fan here. All my other back-up teams have fallen short minus Primary & Bees. Ngl, I'm pumped we're top 10. I just love the team because I'm here for that underdog story. A team that everyone always underestimates, but doesn't let that hold them back. And if all else fails, the fans riot and storm the field in an act of raw, sportball hooliganism. Either way, the Limers ooze entertainment at every aspect, and I can't take my eyes off them. Doing me proud, SlimeLime!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Couldn't have said it better ourselves. Best of luck to SlimeLime

[@NicholasHayhoe]

exact same reason i support them. (and that their from the mediteranean.) gooooo limers

[@jhenderson421]

I'm not gonna lie, this is actually a hilarious concept...I just hope MY team ends up winning

[@si3gnal]

Raspberry Racer take was spot on... that's exactly where I had them and THAT'S MY TEAM. We have the ability to finish strong!!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

They absolutely have what it takes, just worrisome that they haven't podiumed yet, but that could be part of their plan!

[@UnknownRager96]

Primary getting the respect they've been working for 📈 I have confidence in them! A rough week in event 10 but that really was a wakeup call!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Rolling with the best of em right now.

[@jhenderson421]

I will say, from my 3+ years of watching JME, Yellah seems to be lighter than the opposing teams and gets affected by being bumped more...So it's nice to hear another team's fan complaining about them bumping them, like maybe it's not just me lol

[@westonpaschane8995]

Have been a fan of the oceanics since they got 3rd in the marble Olympics and since they have not shown up but this is there run to win

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Hasn't been easy to be an oceanics fan, but your time is coming.

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

I beelieve that Swax can win! He was beeten up in that one race and struggled to finish. Now he’s rested and ready to buzz past the competition! Victory will bee sweeter than honey! 🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@Tiggggerr]

Im glad my Thunderbolts have been able to bring it together. For the first 3 weeks or so, they were ALWAYS on the brink of elimination. But ever since, theyve really barely scared me. Ive been more worried about the Jungle Jumpers/Purple Rockets eavh week

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

This week is worrisome, but hopefully they can pull it out.

[@PhillyBlerd215]

This is AMAZING

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Appreciate you!

[@EricSundquistKC]

Regarding race 77 - I've been watching Jelle since 2018, and like any good fan I get my conspiracies about rigging races. But I have to honestly conclude that there has never been any reason to doubt the integrity of any event. Even if that means admitting the Speeders are more clutch than my O'rangers! 😂

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Couldn't agree more. Even if they tried to rig it I don't think Orangers could get it done...

[@mathewurias2288]

This tournament has been such a delight! Even though the Jungle Jumpers got eliminated, I would say they performed amazingly. They haven’t done well in any tournament in general for several years so it was a nice surprise to see them do good. Have my fingers crossed hoping they can finally qualify for the upcoming Winter Marble League 🤞 Keep up the great content!

[@BearsFanAllTheWay]

You can’t ignore that as the inaugural run of this endurance based event, we have seen so many approaches to performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our lower end competitors are saving their energy and clutch strategies for the final events. Don’t want to peak too soon.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Agree for sure, plus nobody knows the correct strategy yet since there is no blueprint for this event.

[@legendarywiimaster]

As a Savage Speeders fan, this series has been awesome, and it’s still nice knowing they finished top half. Part of what makes this series so great is the amount of mid/scrub teams that are still remaining, meanwhile some of the top dogs are already long gone.

[@veryamusic]

I've been an oceanics fan probably since 2017, I was there for our 3rd place in the 2018ml and our subsequent last in 2019, I'm so proud of sea making it this far and performing so well. I have to agree that we need new leadership, we've shown we can do well if try, but when it comes to the league we suddenly lose all confidence, something needs to change after the end of the survival 100 for sure

[@StretfordBear]

I've always joked about the Oceanics (or the NOceanics as I call them) but Sea has turned me into a fan during the Marble 100. He's had a great run and his determination is coming through!

[@EricSundquistKC]

I love that their captain is called Sea - that makes them a "Sea Captain" 😋

[@StretfordBear]

@@EricSundquistKC that never occurred to me! I love it!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

NOceanics is awesome

[@GTRichardson7]

Rezzy should have been in your top 5. Raspberry Racers are really good at playing the consistency game, its what won them ML19, and its what has been keeping them, as you say, "under the radar" here. don't get me wrong i understand your arguments, but i'll be surprised if they don't make it to the last few weeks if not take the whole thing.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Cant disagree Raspberry Racers have a great pedigree, and we dont doubt they are playing the MS100 strategically, but there is some worry that they have yet to podium any races.

[@sarazzielh6518]

Yeah as a O'Rangers fan it is a hard tournament. The new week shows how hard the bell carousel can be. But I still believe in Mandarin, scratching the elimination every week is enough to be at the Podium. Keeping your energy preserved every week is a risky strategy but it can be unleashed in the final 💪🏻🍊

[@dreams6752]

Need to be linked in the videos or pinned in the races

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Working on it!

[@hollywoodliberal1]

I've been an ORangers fan from back in the day, im not feeling confident about this week. I think this is the end for us.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

We still have hope

[@brianbiggs5664]

Love and respect for your fear and loathing for Sea! LOL! Excellent power rankings. I agree that your top 5 could finish anywhere in the top 5 in the end. That said, however, GO OCEANICS!!!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Can't take anything away from how well the've raced so far

[@StretfordBear]

Regarding the race 77 controversy, my theory is that the Limers fans threw debris into the equipment. They have history of interfering with events

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Big claims against the Limer camp

[@thebrianbanks6139]

Thunderbolts have been falling off I think the best they do is 8th or 7th

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Been a tough week so far

[@mikezard1311]

that's it---throw shade at the rockets. love it, bozos!

[@EricSundquistKC]

I can't disagree with too many of their rankings, but I am watching for the rockets to take it all the way.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

I hope the Rockets prove us wrong, but havent seen enough positives to give them too much respect. Respectfully, bozo.

[@mikezard1311]

@@JellesMarbleCastPodcast fair enough, but we shall see.🛸

[@dylsmarbleruns3283]

Here are my Power Rankings 10 - Chocolatiers - I just think this Team is Doing to much, I think their goal was to be on top as much as they can, And I think that's going to destroy all of his power 9 - Bumblebees - I know, Horrible pick but, I just feel like they are Really tired and they are losing there power, Remember, He had a Horrible week and After having a Great week before than, I just don't have faith in them anymore 8 - O'rangers - Look, I'm a O'ranger Hater okay, But I just think they are done with this Tournament, I don't think they will do anything this week 7 - Mellow Yellow - I still do think this team has a chance but IDK, I feel like, Because they always do Sneaky moves and I feel like, Karma Will get them very soon 6 - Purple Rockets - I think this Team still have a Chance, They have very good Weeks, And They are still pushing, And I think they will come somewhere in the Top 6 or 4 5 - Raspberry Racers - I haven't focus on this Team a lot, But its good to see this team at the Top right now, I Think this team will get the Bronze podium at the end of the Tournament 4 - Thunderbolts - Again, I just think this Team is Pushing too much, And I think that will delete his Power, But again, This team has surprised a lot, So this team isn't out of the Question yet 3 - Team Primary - Like Thunderbolts, They are just pushing too much right now, Look, If they can just relax a little bit, That could be good for there Team, You only need to be in the top 8, So this team doesn't need to push too hard 2 - Oceanics - Look, I'm a Huge Oceanics fan, and too See them here In the Top 8 is a Miracle, They have been A interesting team, Some races, They are at the top, And some races, They are at the bottom, I think Oceanics, Are thinking smart and Working out What races to do bad in, and What races to be good in, And that's what I love about this team 1 - Limers - Honestly, At the start of this Tournament, I had no hope for them, But recently, They have just been smashing out there, and Now, I actually think they have a shot here, They have been so good, And just like Oceanics, They are working out which Races to be good at, And what races to be bad at, If the Limers win the Tournament, I will actually be happy for them, Because you barely see them get any success, So this could be the Tournament for them And that's my Power Rankings, I hope you enjoy Winners of Week 12?? I think 1st - Limers 2nd - Raspberry Racers 3rd - Bumblebees Losers 9th - Mellow Yellow 10th - Chocolatiers

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Great picks. Some in line with ours and some not. Interested to see if the Chocolatiers get bounced this week. We love the way they've been racing under BonBon's leadership. Limers at the top is very bold. I like your reasoning with racing well when it matters, but lets see if it catches up to them

[@Logaan777]

Going into this whole tournament from the start, my top 3 teams were; Hazers, Crazy Cats Eyes and Purple Rockets. Annoyingly Hazers and CCE were both eliminated at the same time in week 3 (I think). 2 weeks later, going into the 7th race Purple Rockets were in the bottom 2 and they came in 1st place on that day to avoid elimination. The week after, they were near the bottom and won the 7th race again! But, I think you guys got the Purple Rockets all wrong, you are falling for their deceptive strategy. Each week, all you need to do is not be in bottom 2. Winning only matters in the very last week. Purple Rockets are keeping a low profile, conversing energy, they are playing the long game. Staying in the middle of the pack, not using too much energy, but enough to avoid elimination. Look at the teams that are left, Bumblebees, Thunderbolts, O'Rangers. All running out of juice, showing off in the mid weeks, going for the podium to show off, using up more and more stamina. Now that its getting close crunch time, Purple Rockets will still be able to ramp it up out last the rest!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Fair enough assessment! Looks good for them so far this week

[@DanikaLeighEllis]

I went in with the Hazers, too! It was rough to see them eliminated so early, but it was not their event: Hazers have trouble throwing elbows. They're more about dexterity.
