It was an up-and-down seesaw for Deceiver Madness contenders in Round 1 yesterday.
But eight celeb-u-phonies emerged victorious, and eight more headed back to the bench to wait for next year’s Deceiver tourney (or the MTV awards, which is kinda the same thing when you think about it…)
Below you’ll find Monday’s results, along with an updated bracket. We had three upsets, including the 11-seed Bono trouncing Ashton Kutcher, and 12th-seeded Aussie “vegetarian” Sophie Monk walloping the NBC television network with her KFC drumsticks. And in the most lopsided contest, sushi-phile Jeremy “The Thermometer” Piven pinned “Wrestler” Mickey Rourke by a colossal 4-to-1-margin
But there’s no rest for the wicked — today brings eight more Round 1 matchups.
Can you handle the excitement? (I know … me neither!)
We’re just getting started, so tell everyone you know — especially those unfortunate souls who lose money betting on hoops brackets every year by picking the prettier mascot. But as Dave Letterman used to say during “Stupid Pet Tricks,” this is only an exhibition. So please — no wagering.
