Supplemental where the winner has to eat all the losing candies just to make sure they were right.
ListenTo100PercentEat
It's between Nick and Eric with the good candy choices, but the fact that Nick hates Smarties make him the loser. Eric wins. Listen To 100% Eat
Alexander LaCount
Andrew"s jar of peanut butter was wild lmao
CobWebb
I wish they would add what each person selected because I always forget. Cheeky way for me to listen again.
connor
Nick was so close but the smarties
SpryLad
100 grand bar gets the win hands down
Mookey
Eric had the best picks hands down. 100 Grand is a highlight of the Halloween season. Well done sir.
Kanoles
I also have a terrible memory and had to go pull up the video and skip to the end to look at it, lol
Mr Fedora Mustache
Andrew lost this one sadly, I always hated carrying those big jars around.
Sam
Eric won when he said 100 grand. Most underrated candy especially fun size version
Stefanie Simpson
Nick had my vote until he said Smarties were the worst. I live for Smarties.
Nathan Pepper
Are Sour Patch Kids and Reeces Pieces Halloween candies? I’ve never gotten either on Halloween. Those are definitely movie theater candies to me. Eric wins for the mini bar representation.
Rolo Klassen
I was more invested in Eric’s best picks, but with Nick picking rockets it cemented my choice since I hate them with a passion
Austin Breuer
I was torn between Eric and Geoff, but Eric picking candy corn as the worst absolutely cemented his win in this draft. Andrew is insane for picking an entire jar of peanut butter, but his razor blade pick was funny. I would be happy to receive raisins if the alternative was candy corn. I also like Twix more than Snickers, and that also influenced my vote in this draft.
Sandrocky88
My wife hasn't but with a trip and halloween coming up and I got her to listen. I said you understand Andrew more now don't you!
Maddy
You guys should post what everyone drafted on these polls. I have a terrible memory 😆
Crohnenberg
Eric had me until Candy Corn being the worst..
AEPSchmitt
This was a confusing episode as a European. Definitely voting for Gavin!
Michael Mariani
Andrew with the win here!
Brian Burkhardt
Same. Love all of his first 3. But I love a smartie.
Brian Burkhardt
Nick lost it for me when he picked Smarties. Candy Corn sucks, and Eric was already close.
Leesa Austin
Nick had my vote until the smarties as the worst.
Davis Rybaski
SHOWING THE PREVIOUS DRAFT RESULTS IS BLATANT VOTER TAMPERING
ScoobDrew
My wife has only ever listened to snippets of the show, but she listened to the candy draft with me and was absolutely flabbergasted by the jar of peanut butter.
Matthew Hughes
I am a slut for resses holiday editions it was my golden snitch so Nick has my vote.
Saysi
Eric was winning the first half but ruined it at the end Gavin was consistently pretty good
ErkDerkly
It was close but Eric wins based on the final round. He picked an actual Halloween themed candy that is also terrible.
Kanoles
if Eric doesn't win this one I can't trust any of you animals - or Geoff. both valid. There is no way in hell Andrew ever received a jar of reese's peanut butter on halloween so imo he disqualified himself.
Jeffrey Saari
You’re a psycho if you think Reese’s pieces and peanut butter M&Ms are the same size
Roger Flynn
Reposting from the actual draft page: ... Ok, so I was so on board with Nick until the end there. But I think maybe the order of the draft fucked him. I hope that's what it was. Those we never my favorite, but far from my least. Gavin, I just can't pick because I haven't had half of that and I do enjoy Turkish Delight. Eric is too caramel heavy for me. That leaves Geoff and Andrew and, well, we all know that means I'm voting for Geoff.
Alex R
I was so on board with Andrew. He was winning by a mile. But the last two picks were so wild I couldn't go with it. Had to pivot to Eric
Alyssa L Miller
Nick is 100% right about the smarties. Get that out of here.
SaltiRogue
Andrew may have the most wins, but Graysie is undefeated
sugarpuss
Eric nailed my candy cravings list
Demonman187
If Andrew only knew that their peanut butter in the jar is like the peanut butter in the candy, but unknown to him and myself when I made this discovery. That peanut butter is salty like the sea. Did not realize the sweet chocolate balances the salt out and its great. Not good by itself or with jam on bread.
Shelby
Nick won me over with Butterfinger BBs alone - my favorite candy I'll never get to taste again D;
Jake Hoggen
Bro really said "Jar Of Peanut Butter" with his whole chest...
Joe
Unfortunately I don't think I've had most of the candy that people chose, although everyone did have 1 candy that I liked; sour patch kids, kitkat, peanut m&ms, kinder bueno. However, all of Geoff's picks were things that I had as a kid.
Dave Mackenzie
Ditto. I guess I'll just have to re-watch the draft... :/
Stephen Moreno
We seriously not giving the Jar of peanut butter a chance? 🤣😂🤣
Cameron Bass
Eric for 100 grands!
Chris Buckley
can we have an option for not andrew?
AJ T
Eric being rewarded for safe picks 🙄
Cole
I've literally never tried a 100 Grand bar because the packaging turned me off as a kid. They were spot on
Cole
Geoff in 4th place is actually insane. Eric won over the internet with his extremely cold take on candy corn. It's like saying "pineapple pizza bad" to me lol
Bar One
100% It’s offbrand peanut butter with a tiny bit of sugar, added to it
Gorexn
Andrew brought the most entertainment with his draft, but Geoff has my vote. Good candy
Jake Shidler
I do wish they would include the picks in the poll
Toby Ives-Moody
Gavin had elite picks throughout, and couldn't have brought a better worst pick either. Clear win
Schweet
100 Grand is such a sleeper pick. It's amazing
Tony Figueroa
Sour and fruity gummy’s need so much more love
Alyssa Gordon
eric naming 100 grand twix and kitkat has me fucking performing a standing ovation
Doverman
Since this draft was top 3 favorite and one worst. My draft for this is 1. Eric 2. Geoff 3. Nick 4. For the worst person’s draft to get in my halloween bag, Andrew.
Jeff
I was on the Andrew train for this one. Gotta say though, lost me in the second half.
Spencer McCormick
Nick wins by default for me with the Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin even though candy corn is by far and away the worst real pick on that list. Eric in close second but I can't get behind Twix and 100 Grand as there are far better "best" Halloween candies out there. Andrew is as unhinged as usual.
Urk Mazerloni
even though i am one of the 12 people on this earth who love candy corn, eric got my vote.
Nathan Adams
Is it just me or is the Reese's peanut butter in the Jar the worst peanut butter on the shelf?
Tony Queen
Nick's 4th round pick killed his draft. Was neck and neck with Eric for me until then. Eric knocked it out of the park with candy corn, the quintessential Halloween candy
Joshua Neditch
Eric had KitKat and Twix. Two best candies by far!
Adam Staron
You should put what got drafted and not the name.
Keer
I wanna know what was going through Andrew's head
Yusef R
Big whiff with no one picking York peppermint patties
Tim Robinson
Good to see Eric getting on the board
Kat don Vee
Would have sided with Nick but he has bad Smarties takes smh. This guy probably hates the sixlets candies, too.
Tom
Really, REALLY tough choice for me between Eric and Nick. Eric beat nick with Candy Corn, but Nick’s Butterfinger beats Eric’s 100g for me
Goostunny
I would be saying Gavin won, but Turkish Delights are delicious
John C
Another Brit here, Gavin nailed it. Although I would have put Parma Violets as the worst.
Matthew Tomlinson
This was a close one, everyone had solid choices with one outlier. I’m with Nick until his worst
WickedD365
Andrew salad creamed TF out of his!
Joe
Gotta agree with Gavin here. I'm British, and those were all great choices. Plus Turkish delight is just the worst.
Ross Orchard
Loved Gavin's but could not agree with him about Turkish delight. I'd sell my family for that stuff
Ben Kenobi
Not enough love for the fruity/gummy category, why'd Andrew have to throw last minute 😭
Bop
I’d have *loved* to go Nick but the smarties pick as a worst was tragic
Charles O.
My faves werent picked, but my worst was. I had turkish delight in 2nd grade and that was traumatic. Never again, so Gavin wins my vote
Kole
How is Eric winning
jacob schultz
I can't believe how hard Andrew fumbled his last two picks. A+ entertaining.
Tilgare
Nick - Butterfinger BBs were. The. Shit. My favorite candy of all time was Reese's bites. Same era. Poppable little balls like the BBs. They had THE perfect chocolate to pb ratio. The most perfect ever. The new Reese's cluster bites are basically Nutrageous bites - which makes them amazing - but still, nothing can beat those old bites.
Andrey Chichagov
Eric had the best draft, no question
Tilgare
Oh my I have too many opinions on candy. It concerns me actually. Blow pop easily could have made my bad list with raisins - pulling GUM out of your Halloween bag is so disappointing. I love Cadbury flake and twirl bars after a trip to Ireland a few years ago. STRONG choice. I'm fine with candy corn, although I probably have never gotten it in a Halloween bag. Otherwise Eric's picks are some of my absolute top picks. But Nick got all the peanut/butter. Think I gotta go Nick.
Zach Anaya
I love a good Turkish delight, but I feel like it’d be a major let down in the Halloween pillow case
Zach Anaya
Agreed completely though I go candy corn > smarties personally so had to go Nick
windyMelon
As a Brit, I can confirm Gav won the draft
Zach Anaya
Nick won with Smarties over the tolerable/addictive candy corn as worst.
Dustin
T-Bone had the most variety. Everyone else was just different versions of chocolate and peanut butter. Plus raisins suck at Halloween
AhriNaut
Definitely neck and neck between Eric and Nick until the hated candy round. Nick with a huge fumble at the end not appreciating Smarties.
Steve Davis
And he's totally right about Kinder Bueno. Best tasting bar on the planet.
Jackiswellcool
Gavin with UK bias, I literally said Turkish Delight as he did it was the clear mvp pick
David Mead
Good picks all around but Eric nailed all 4.
Adam Watson
No one came close to Gavin, the mere idea that anything on anyone's list can compete with TINY MALTESER THINGS is absolute heresy
Rage Fueled
I was with Nick until his insane pick on hating Smarties. All in on the RatMan
Paul Mitchell
My pick for worst candy is DOTS. immediate trash. Not even on my lowest days would I eat a DOTS candy
Josie
Totally agreed with Eric until the Candy Corn as worst candy pick. BUT I must concede it's a controversial candy so he gets the win
James Cooper
The Reese’s Peanut Butter JAR was such an insane pick I have to choose Andrew as the winner
Vinnie B
Nick gets the auto vote for butterfinger BBs. I think about them at least once a month.
Lori Lindo
I am going with geoff, a solid bag of good stuff.
NedSleep
I should have looked here, I couldn't remember the picks so I went to the video 😆
Alann Limon
Candy Corn was given to people at Guantanamo Bay Source: trust me, bro
Colin
Easy Eric W
BernNotice
In my opinion, Geoff had the best bag mainly because I've never gotten candy corn in my Halloween bag, as was a specified parameter; plus the blow-pop balances the scales well alongside the two chocolate choices, and the raisin boxes are the superior worst trick-or-treat item
LawlessReaper
I don't want to vote because I don't think anyone's list was good enough. But I will. Wish there was an option to say who just lost because that was Andrew.
Christopher Callaghan
Gavin. By a country mile.
Sean Lane
It’s Eric and it’s not even close
Tyler
Eric wins just because of KitKat
Alan Dent
My wife and I were listening to Eric's second pick and we both said "Oh it's already in the bag."
Avlin Starfall
Well, Andrew disqualified himself by both saying not a candy, especially not a Halloween candy or something ever actually given out on Halloween, and then something based on an urban legend and something edible at all.
Sean Larmee
As much as it pains me Eric is just right across the board on this one. If we were voting for which list makes the best content it would be Andrew.
Sir Fishy
Andrew chose Reeses peanut butter destroyed his list. Like wtf
Alex Wazlo
Andrew wins off creamy Reese’s peanut butter by default
Mark Whitty
I almost went with Nick despite him besmirching Smarties' good name because Reese's is the ultimate Halloween candy. Unfortunately for him, Eric edged him out with some great picks that were all based in chocolate too and the most accurate worst Halloween candy. I'll take "chalky" Smarties over the waxy bullshit of candy corn thank you very much.
Colin Curtis
Nick: Reese's Pumpkin, Butterfinger BB's, M&M Peanut, Smarties Gavin: Teaser, Kinder Bueno, Cadbury Twirl, Turkish Delight Eric: Twix, KitKat, 100 Grand, Candy Corn Geoff: Snickers, Blow Pop, Mr Goodbar, Raisins Andrew: Sour Patch Kids, Reese's Pieces, Creamy Reese's Peanut Butter, Razor Blade
Ardvark Man
I stand corrected. I haven't looked up Turkish Delight in a while and thought it was more of pastry than it was.
ComradeCrazylegs
Nick's list was so strong, but i think his imprudent impuning of the irresistible Smarties was his demise.
Travelinmatt76
I think the Krackle bar is missing. It's special because it just doesn't come as a full bar, you can only get it as part of a variety pack. Also I LOVE candy corn! I feel that Eric won.
TheDoopster
The people voting for Andrew are not voting in the spirit of the draft which bugs the hell out of me
Kat
It’s tough because i have fond memories of loving candy corn as a kid…even though I can’t eat as much as I used to, I still enjoy a couple when they’re available. that all being said, everyone always forgets about 100 Grand when, in reality, it is VASTLY underrated. Considering Eric’s other picks are just as stellar, I gotta go with him even if his candy corn hatred is a little extreme for me
Patrick
Andrew’s fake accounts voted for him
laul
geoff and eric tied in my scoring. I ultimately chose geoff because I would be happier to get his lineup of candy in a handful of trick or treat goods. mr goodbars are actually pretty slap. blowpops are AMAZING and snickers is just the cream of the crop staple. erics lineup was too basic and safe for me but apparently it paid off.
TheDoopster
Americans voting have never had anything on Gav’s list
ComradeCrazylegs
Just hearing the words Butterfinger BBs reminds me of hours of toothpicking in my youth. Ahhh memories.
nick hemley
What non-candy did Gavin pick? Teasers, Kinder Bueno, Twirl and Turkish Delight? They're all Halloween candy/confectionery items
nick hemley
I despise peanut butter and chocolate so any picks of that just went straight to the bottom of my list. Actual peanuts in snickers & peanut m&ms is great though. Drafting a flipping JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER as a halloween candy is actually deranged
Mvs
On the technicality that Nick downplayed Smarties and Eric and Geoff chose two old people candies, I’m going with Gavin. I know everything he chose is gonna be tasty despite the fact that I haven’t tried one of them.
Chaz Surfboard
It's tough where I would normally go with Eric full stop, but the candy corn opinion really has me thinking
Rigdab
Eric's list is objectively the best, but I will not stand for candy corn slander. Peanut M&M's are vastly overrated and pumpkin Reese's is too much peanut/chocolate ratio, so Nick is out. Geoff's list is lukewarm and I have no idea what Gavin picked, so Andrew is the clear winner here.
Kevin Farmer
Andrew really had such a strong 1 & 2 and then just absolutely threw it away
Joe
This rules
Mitchell Goodwin
I hate that I still have to give this one to Nick even with his egregious slander of Smarties.
ryan mehan
I like candy corn but i have to go with Eric for the rest of his picks. Only guy who didn't really pick peanut butter for everything besides Gavin
Ardvark Man
Eric and Nick are the only two not disqualified. Everyone else picked non-candy items. Edit: I'm dumb, Turkish Delight is more of a gummy than I thought it was. Thanks Nick.
Emily Burnside
Eric wins and it isn't even close
Ryan Haayer
Like all his candy, gavin has this in the bag!
Zachary Lapp
Normally I'm voting for the memes, but damn, Eric has me on this one.. The man just knows. Hope I can sleep tonight with this vote cast...
Flailing Pariah
Eric winning this is crazy. Gav picked best by a country mile.
julesiax
I was all for team Nick until the rockets/smarties slander. Eric FTW
Jacob Collier
Eric getting his first ever win TODAY
nick hemley
How Andrew has ANY votes here is an utter mystery. Anyone who votes for that abomination of a draft needs a full psych evaluation. A tie between Eric & Gavin would be perfect
Elijah
I cannot vote Eric. Candy corn gets hate for no reason.
Nicholas Esposito
Almost went with Nick cause the pumpkin Reese’s are that good, but I gotta give it to Eric overall.
Ryan Bennett
As an Englishman, Gavin’s picks were 100% spot on
Deweyc0x
I actually love smarties and candy corn, otherwise it would've been Nick for me
Willsy
Good of Andrew to let one of the others win this one
TheJoseph123
The peanut butter and razor blade picks through it for me. Andre was 100% win until then.
Rebekah
Nick had my vote until he picked smarties as the worst candy
GlazedMcGuffin
Andrew's last picks were unhinged and I love it. Not enough to choose him as winning the draft, but he really went for it!
Tom Scott
Easy Gavin win here surely
Craig
The Brits are stuffing the ballot box for Gavin! We cannot allow this!
Stryix
So... We're just voting for Andrew for the lulz now? A jar of peanut butter..... No....
PizzaCat
Andrew is normally so anal about picking stuff that pertains to what their drafting, and then picks 2 things that aren’t candy
Atoms_Asunder
I was so with Andrew until the tub of peanut butter
Jonathan Hegney
Gavin. No contest
Icky Tickler
Early congrats to Eric on the W
Blake
Voting for Andrew here is unacceptable
Benjamin Zmyewski
Never thought I'd vote for Eric but here we are
