It was four years ago, just after the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket was complete and I was filling out my bracket for the 2014 FIFA World Cup that I thought it might be cool to do a The Simpsons Tapped Out bracket. Here we are at the next World Cup and it’s time for our fourth TSTO Addicts Bracket Battle!
How much longer EA can keep Tapped Out going is up for debate. But what isn’t debatable is that there are plenty of character skins in the rich history of The Simpsons universe still not in our little game. We present to you TSTO Addicts’ Most Desired Skin Bracket Battle.
We created a Bracket of 32 awesome character skins for characters that don’t have a second skin that we believe would bring a smile to your face, have great visuals, could make for an awesome event, or simply be a nice idea for a new Friends Point prize.

Now a recap of last weeks votes:
Boys: Stay Puft Uter beat Mexican Wendell 76% to 24%.
Girls: Trinidad and Tobago Sherri and Terri beat Tiara Amber 69% to 31%.
Men: Texan Matt Groening upset Two Arms Herman 58% to 42%.
Women: Human Maude destroyed Summer Wear Quimby 92% to 8%.
Here’s what the Bracket looks like after week 1:
Now without further ado, our second set of head-to-head matchups featuring the #2 and #7 seeds in all four conferences:
BOYS
My Sharona Jimbo (First appeared S17, E05)
VS.
Janitor Dolph (First appeared S18, E21)
Tale of the Tape: Vote for my little pretty one, you make my motor run, m-m-m-my Sharona Jimbo.
GIRLS
Wedding Dress Mary Spuckler (First appeared S19, E17)
VS.
Swimsuit Shauna (First appeared S23, E18)
Tale of the Tape: In what should be the toughest battle of the week, most will say “I do” to Mary in this matchup.
MEN
Prom Tux Artie (First appeared S02, E12)
VS.
Bullet Proof Vest Sanjay (First appeared S03, E19)
Tale of the Tape: Even a bulletproof vest is not enough to save Sanjay from the pain of going up against a Simpsons season 2 classic skin.
WOMEN
Ghost Edna (First appeared S28, E01)
VS.
Casino Helen (First appeared S26, E16)
Tale of the Tape: If you don’t vote for her ghost counterpart, Edna will haunt you!
Reminder, voting is open until 6pm EDT Sunday, July 15th.
What are your thoughts on this weeks four match-ups? Of the four match-ups above, which was the easiest decision and which was the hardest? What do you think of last weeks results? Did you vote for the four that moved on? What do you think of the bracket? Which character skins would you have added? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you.
For some reason I am attracted to the cartoon Shauna, more than any other character in the game. I only wish she could be “devil” costume Shauna for more than 4 hours. So a swim suit Shauna would be awesome. I like her because she is such a bad girl. I wish they would add the woman that Jailbird goes out with too!!
I’ve wanted a Human Maude ever since we got her character as I’m not a fan of how many ghost characters we have.
Plus Human Maude is SO iconic to the show and it would be perfect for her to come back in a Halloween event where all the ghosts, statues and dead people come alive
Human Maude feels like a character / character skin Tappers have longed for (along with Mrs. Wiggum). It was an impressive selection this time –
My Sharona Jimbo
Swimsuit Shauna
Prom Tux Artie
Casino Helen
those are my picks
I agree with Safi on which was the hardest to pick, but at the end of the day I disagree with him on every choice this time.
Am I missing how to vote somehow?
These were tough…especially Edna and Helen!! Thanks Addicts for all that you do!!! I really hope EA adds a bunch of these characters! Happy tapping everybody, have a lovely day!! : )
When are you due, Alissa? Looking forward to pictures! 😊
I agree that that ghost Edna and Casino Helen was the hardest pic. Want them both!
Prom Tux Artie is from a classic episode. Love it.
Yessss I was just thinking how much I’d love a ghost Edna!
Hardest was ghost Edna vs Casino Helen. I’d want them both in my town!
I think your skewing the vote a tad by posting who you prefer on each matchup. Also I miss the competition aspect of picking the winner(s) from past bracket challenges.
We did that once (last summer)…and it was a ton of work for me (as well as Safi). I’m far to pregnant to be able to dedicate the time needed to stay on top of that…
You do what you need to do! The amount of time that goes into this blog is mind boggling.
