fat bear week
-
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.
-
@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.
-
So far I think 747 but I CAN’T DECIDE YET.
-
@Third-Eye TEAM 747. THE URSIRPER.
-
@Testament A very different week.
-
@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.
-
@Snackness 901 chunked up, too. Damn.
-
@Snackness fight me
-
I’m all in on 747 without a doubt.
-
It’s time.
LET’S GO
️ TAKING OFF VICTORY 
VOTES LANDING 
-
@SpaceKhomeini It took me a long time to decide, but I voted for him too.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@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!

856 FOR LYFE

Today’s bracket is open! I won’t tell you my picks yet though because I promised my kid I wouldn’t vote without him today.
