Hey Howdy Hey Tappers! It’s time for Week 8 voting of our Addicts Bracket Challenge! We’re down to the Elite 8…who will move onto the Final Four? Vote now to find out!
Once again….here’s Safi:
How much longer EA can keep Tapped Out going is up for debate. But what isn’t debatable is that there are plenty of characters in the rich history of The Simpsons universe still not in our little game. From Homer’s college mates to his look-a-likes, from Bart’s crushes to Lisa’s idols, from four-eyed friends to four-legged pets, there is plenty of ‘untapped’ potential (pun intended). But which character do we really want?
We present to you the TSTO Addicts: Most Desired Character Bracket Battle…..
For all the rules on who was picked and why, and when/how voting works check out our week 1 post which can be viewed here.

So here are our 8 Conference Champions, the Elite Eight:
Just to recap the stats on our 8 Conference Champions competing in the Elite Eight:
Four #1 seed, two #2 seed, one #7 seed, and one #8 seed won their Conferences (clearly most of you all want Pinchy and Mr. Sparkle more badly than I do).
In the eight Conference Final match-ups, no winner received over 90% of the vote, none received 85.01% to 90%, 1 received 80.01% to 85%, 4 received 60.01% to 80%, 2 received 55.01% to 60%, and 1 squeaked by with 50.01 to 55%.

This week, we will narrow down the field from 8 (the Elite Eight) to 4 (the Final Four). After 7 weeks of intra-Conference match-ups, our 8 Conference Champions square off in four challenging inter-Conference match-ups –
ELITE EIGHT QUARTER-FINAL #1
ELITE EIGHT QUARTER-FINAL #2
*Reminder, Pets are considered playable characters (similar to Mr. Teeny or Stampy) and Combos are considered one playable character (similar to Sherri & Terri or Patches & Poor Violet)
ELITE EIGHT QUARTER-FINAL #3
ELITE EIGHT QUARTER-FINAL #4
Reminder, voting is open until noon EDT Thursday August 4th.
What are your thoughts on the eight Conference Champions? Who would your eight Conference Champions have been? Who did you vote for in the four Quarter-Final match-ups? Of the four match-ups above, which was the easiest decision and which was the hardest? Was it easier voting inter-Conference this week or intra-Conference the last 7 weeks? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you.
Smell you later, Wendell. Smell you later… forever. That was an easy choice, picking Bleeding Gums, but a hard action scrapping the Prince of Puke. I’ve enjoyed seeing Wendell pop into random episodes for 20+ years. Not feeling too bad though… all my picks from last week made it.
I have a bias of my own as well, my fellow Canuck!
Leon would good, but to make him great, he would have to be voiced. Which, like the Phil Hartman characters, may unfortunately be unpossible. I’m not thinking about the actual voice actors having passed on, but b/c of possible copyright issues. Mr Sparkle, on the other head, could ger away without a voice. I read that Hank Azaria did some voiceover for a video game version of FishBulb, hmmm.
I voted for Wendell, Pinchy, Mr Sparkle and Allison. I think they can have great outdoor tasks with Wendell puking in a bag or bucket. Pinchy 3 going for a walk with Homer on a leash while being dragged around Springfield or the beach and playing outside with the birds. Allison having a jazz off with Lisa and giving a diarama about The Telltale Heart. Finally with Mr Sparkle floating around Springfield advertising his brand to various shops and to combine the logos from two factories to become fish-bulb. P. S. I know that it’s a crab but I can’t find a lobster one! 🐟💡🦀🏖🎶🤒
I won’t crabby about it 😃
If Leon became a character in the game he must have the task “sing happy birthday to Lisa” it could be done with Bart. Would be awesome!
Safi, why weren’t itchy and scratchy in the poll?
They’re already available in the game, in NPC mascot form in Krustyland
Yeah but I want them to be characters! Not NPC’s lol
Some NPC’s have been promoted to fully playable characters (FPC) Maggie had even been promotend from sack of flour to FPC.
Exactly what Alissa said,
🙁 I wanted rabbi krustofsky to win
Oh well……
Bleeding Gums does have one advantage: He’d come with The Jazz Hole.
Looking forward to seeing the jazz man obliterate Wendell (jk….sort of…..sorry Wendell fans). I’m one of the few that is still pulling for pinchy but you already knew that. I also really really want leon. I come from a family of big MJ fans, my sister being the biggest. I struggled choosing between allison and Sarah but in the end I gave it to Sarah because I like the idea of a complete family unit. Can’t believe we’re already down to 8…..looking forward to seeing how it all ends. Thanks again Safi!
My father used to sing: “Hit the road, Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more!” whenever he heard an MJ “song”.
Lmao tiny bit racist but funny as 😂
How is that at all racist?
Nottingham racist about this. he didn’t like his voice. The most most important lesson my father thaught me to be skin-colorblind.
I thought your dad got confused like that guy who got Lawrence fishburne and Samuel l Jackson mixed up.
That first part of your comment freaked me about since I live in a town called Nottingham lol
Bloody iOS spelling control 😡😡😡
. Please remove the “ham” out of that city
