Fun Run - I think it's a foregone conclusion that DK will win
Here's why:

The two most dangerous powerups (switch 2 candidates) have already been used.

The seeming "trump card" powerup (front runner) can only move someone up close to DK, doesn't move DK back (as he's already suffered).

The Monkeyshine powerup may freeze DK, but only for 3 hours.

Joementum powerup could pull DK back if it's used against DK and someone else, but leaving Edwards alone -- this might well be the most dangerous move for DK -- but this powerup hasn't been found yet, so it's a wildcard still.

The remaining 3 powerups (poll axer, pundit magnet, tweet down) could only have marginal effect on DK.

So there it is. As usual, Joementum could be the fly in the ointment.

8. But the powerups could get together and form a "DU-clear option"
And those who haven't contributed yet can make up the difference. Let's make a deal...
