Well, I expected controversy on this blog...

let me explain, Mercury and Emerald loses with extenuating circumstance One underestimate him, the other gets taken by Jaune's sudden semblance appearance. I'm not belittling the two in fact, I do say they dominated most of the matches. After those two, Since all of RWBY and Penny won't be in Jaune's way, The field will be open for him to win.

They will fight Weiss and Yang later... check my Cinder blog when it comes out.

I think your underestimating Jaune. Yes he's a bumbling fool but with enormous potential. At one point he has to take a tru step forward and the tournament is it.
