...there was a tie. So, I had one final challenge to settle what was supposed to be the final challenge: when was the movie actually released? Well, it was on the 28th of May, 1993, but the two remaining contestants had to guess this date. Whoever got the closest would be forever known as the UTDA winner. So, who won? Rocker put his money on the 20th of June, which makes a difference of thirty-three days. That number's certainly nothing to scoff at. SonicMario, on the other hand, hedged his bets on the 20th of May, giving him a difference of eight days. With the tie-breaker settled, it is clear who the victor is.

SonicMario, the former-intern, current-player, has triumphed over all others and is the champion of User Total Drama Action!
 
I went for late june to put my guess in the middle of the year, maybe up my odds, but SM apparently either guessed really well or knew the month, so congratulations, SM, you are the victor.

This has been a great game GD, and it was wonderful to play it. =D And you've definitely set the bar for BMB pretty high.

Also damn, I made it to not only the final four, but the final 2. Awesome.
 
Well holy crap, I couldn't believe it. This was a TOTAL guess on my part. And I couldn't believe I chose a date so close.

But really this was just too close for comfort. Had I got one more wrong in the SMB Movie quiz I would of lost.

I also considered doing somewhere in the middle of the year but I decided to take a chance that it was a little earlier. And that overall went well for me.
