I have been depressed. Games are not fun. TV isn't either. So I picked up a task I told myself I would do: I am rewatching every episode of Forged in Fire from @HISTORY and compiling data for a long-standing hypothesis... most of which serves no one.

Hypothesis in question is: Bowie knives, while popular for creation on the show underperform (are cursed). Because I'm that guy, there is also highest density of states won from, and average perceived attractiveness of the winners.

Certain tournaments will be excluded from overall stats due to inconsistent format... and I'm being sure to make note of guest judge effect on results,as well as forced choice builds. Season 1 is complete, but this will take a while to rewatch and record data completely.

If you (anyone) want this data, let me know. I'll share the Google sheet with you... and you too can suffer with me as I descend further into madness. Please send help... I clearly need it.
