Reason:

Conduct goes for the forfeit.

Pro was much funnier; quotes like “Gloat like a butterfly, sting like a G,” and “This is more a trillion-on-1 gangbang than a 2-on-2 foursome” made me laugh much more; the complexity of the second round from Gatorades first stanza was amazing and cast a long shadow over the rest. Con was let down a lot by the end of the debate with what felt like a half-hearted rap. I felt here that the main issue with cons parts is that while the rhymes were good, the focus was more on making the rhyme than trying to make the insult make sense, there were a few reasonable insults but the whole thing felt a lot more disjoint.

I’m awarding a balance of 1 point here on that basis; that with the forfeit, I felt pro clearly did a better job of the typical rap battle, but the difference was not so huge as to warrant a bigger point value win
