OK, so...this is a thing. It's going to be very difficult to do, but I think I've gotten three....

This is nitpicking more than anything, but PURELY the fact that Apollo still can't flip Sir Killalot. I love the fact that the fight is clearly over, the battle music (which is great to hear back again, BTW, although it might take some getting used to) has faded out, yet Apollo is still after Sir Killalot, so TPTB are just like "screw it!", turn the music back on and let Apollo try to complete its mission. They WANT it to flip Sir Killalot. Three attempts and it very nearly manages the last one...it's so frustrating.
 * 3 - So close....yet still so upright!

Yeah, basically, Gabriel's performance left a bad taste in my mouth. After such an amazing clash against Carbide in the main competition, it just felt so lackluster here. Especially its battle against Rabid M8, where I would have had it down as the favourite going in, and all credit to the Portuguese team for taking the thwackbot-thight to it, but it was still so disappointing.
 * 2 - You survived Carbide, how are you losing to a loanerbot!?

The second battle. Do I really need to say anything? Pretty sure Terrorhurtz and Sabretooth would have won anyway, but it just felt like it was cut much shorter than it should have been.
 * 1 - Damn you, removable links!

I dunno, doesn't it just feel like there should have been one more battle? I mean, I get the captains should fight in the final, that's all well and good, but it feels that should have been literally that...a designated final. Have Apollo fight Rabid and Gabriel fight Diotoir and it might have felt a bit more complete, perhaps?
 * Dishonourable Nitpick - Just one more battle?

Still, when all is said and done, I did have to grasp for this. That being said, I already know what my number one Wooden Spoon for next week's episode is, and it hasn't even aired!
