So, lucky losers Dr Kananga; Khan & Orlov; Max Zorin, and Elliot Carver live to die another day and join the 12 winners for Round 2.
Shoved into the shark tank of ignominy are:
Gustav Graves – failing to trouble the scorers at all; just embarrassing to watch, frankly. How do these weaker competitors even qualify? An electric mitten is no match for a team with clearly defined roles and strategy. Time to face apathy.
Koskov & Whitaker – up against Silva, a man with an equally convoluted plan, but with the advantage of a clear goal in mind no matter how he got there. These two- no matter how hard one tries, it’s still “uh?”. Koskov into the binbag, and Whitaker shall meet his Waterloo. As sung by The Recording Artiste Pierce Brosnan.
Kristatos – up against a sweaty, asthmatic sedentary maths nerd and he still can’t win. Hopeless. All the King’s medals and all the King’s men, couldn’t put Ari together again. Ah, the sharks have him; make port. Drink port, too. Or gluhwein, anyway. Who are you, again?
Greene – moistened fool comes up against someone knowing the real value of water. Was never in with a chance. Everything he touches seems to wither and die.
You Only Live Twice Blofeld – surprisingly poor showing from a competitor many felt in previous times exemplified “villain”. Still, wouldn’t be a tournament without an early round exit of a biggish beast. Appears to tolerate failure more than he would otherwise claim.
Elektra King – There’s no point in living… Let’s just leave it there.
Diamonds are Forever Blofeld – interesting fight against Sanchez. A flamboyant homosexual versus Diamonds are Forever Blofeld. As La Rochefoucauld observed: do bog off, there’s a chap.
Goldfinger -the shock exit of Round One, a bit like Germany always seem to contrive these days. A big man, but patently out of shape. Operation Grand Failure. A perpetual pre-tournament favourite, leaves the draw wide open for… whom?
Draw for Round 2 will happen shortly, 8 matches A – H
Quarter finals will be:
Sinner A v Sinner E
Sinner B v Sinner F
Sinner C v Sinner G
Sinner D v Sinner H

Splendid!
I think Graves lost because he’s really radio 007 in disguise…
