Snap to it people, you only have until 8 p.m. to make your voice heard and send your favorite brackets to the championship.  It was just a bit over a week ago when we started with 16 bright-eyed brackets (an online Hunger Games reaping of sorts) and today we're into the home-stretch our competition with Foreign Policy's Dictators vs. Democrats , Muppet Madness 2012, Go Fug Yourself's Madness 2012, and Jezebel's Sex vs. Chocolate bracket as our last four standing.

If this really were The Hunger Games (and it's not, despite some bone-crushing losses no brackets were hurt in the making of this bracket), your Katniss Everdeen would be Go Fug Yourself's Fug Madness.  After putting away Garden & Gun in the first round, they unleashed their Fug frenzy on the second-seeded Vulture Drama Derby, and grabbed nearly 99 percent of the 2000 votes cast. Momentum hasn't stopped for the Fug Girls, who now own a commanding and almost 80-percent advantage over Jezebel's formidable Sex vs. Chocolate bracket, which won its opening rounds pretty convincingly as well. 

Things are a bit closer in the clash between Foreign Policy and Muppet Madness, as less than 100 votes and around 13 percentage points separate the two. These two underdogs have been taking out higher seeds all tourney, but for now, it looks as if Foreign Policy's underdog magic may have run out.

But you can change all that (or not, if that's your desire).  Want to see Sex vs. Chocolate in our championship? Do you think the Fugmentum should continue? Do Rowlf and Muppet Madness' magic run continue? Or does Foreign Policy's dictator battle strike deserve to be the last bracket standing?

You decide. Vote below--and remember you have until 8 p.m. tonight to do so.  Our championship match will be posted tomorrow.
