As I understand it the competition will be, at least in part, subjective. "What is your interpretation of this song." and "Tell us which TMDR video is your favorite, and why." Oh, I suppose there will be the requisite "How many versions of Airhead were published?" type questions - but anyone who takes the time to research it can get that one - what will really set the contestants apart will be their answers to the subjective questions. This is to be a contest of *wit*! So please don't count yourself out, Robin, or anyone.
