I LOVE THEM.

Also love seeing enthusiasm around Fat Bear Week again, not often so many people are excited about National Parks stuff and it warms my cold, cold heart.

@Snackness omg, 747 is sure numbered right, that baby is a JUMBO JET.

[Snackness]

@Tez Right!? I love him, but I’m sort of a die-hard Holly fan.

I was talking to a friend about fat bear week, and another friend who was partially overhearing our conversation got a really weird look on their face. When I asked what was wrong, they were like ‘wtf you guys talking about?’. I explained and they looked really relieved suddenly. They replied with, ‘that is NOT what I thought you were talking about’

As for the bears, I feel conflicted about who to vote for this year.

[Third Eye]

So far I think 747 but I CAN’T DECIDE YET.

[Tez]

@Third-Eye TEAM 747. THE URSIRPER.

[Snackness]

@Testament A very different week.

[Snackness]

@Third-Eye I wish they would show before/afters of them because I weigh (lol) my votes on how much fatter over time.

ETA: Found before/afters here…https://explore.org/meet-the-bears

This might swing my vote to 856.

[Selira]

@Snackness 901 chunked up, too. Damn.

[Tez]

@Snackness fight me

[SpaceKhomeini]

I’m all in on 747 without a doubt.

[Tez]

It’s time.

LET’S GO ️ TAKING OFF VICTORY VOTES LANDING

[Snackness]

@SpaceKhomeini It took me a long time to decide, but I voted for him too.

[Third Eye]

Ultimately I also went with the majestic airplane of a bear. Though putting him up against 856 was unfair, I would’ve voted for him in any other match-up.

[Selira]

856 and 747 probably should have been the finals. But, single elim brackets are what they are. Both are majestic but my heart was called to 856 from the beginning.

[Tez]

@Selira I respect your choice, but I appreciate 747 for overthrowing 856’s rule.

I’m glad to see many others also appreciate 164. APPRECIATE THE SMARTS.

[Snackness]

@Selira It took me a lot of tummy-comparing to make my decision, and even now I doubt myself, but the vote has been cast!

I feel like the pictures snapped in rivers are cheating. It makes the floof and therefore fat look smoller!
