Mediocre was strong favourite from the start, but in the end it turned out to be...just mediocre

Maybe I expected too much from Mediocre, but it needs an update to catch up with the close competitors...

Neurosis was a convincing winner. I expected it to be tighter at both ends, but both Surprise and Warrior were disappointing.
