The TechNet forums were absolutely on fire.

"He took the challenge! Dad's accepted the challenge!"

"Oh my god, I'm so hyped!"

"Legend! Absolute legend!"

"He's the coolest!"

"Love him forever!"

"Damn, this YC is bold! Doesn't seem like one of those teams hiding in the shadows."

"Everyone can put on a show. Just wait-if he loses, he'll probably just whine about it."

"Haha, are you one of those whiners yourself?"

A poll popped up almost instantly: Would Anthea place in the top three?

Right now, over 2,000 people were rooting for Anthea.
