Gotta admit this is more fun than I expected. I've actually been rewatching Robotech the past couple weeks when my wife is at work and I gotta say it's harder to decide which episodes to vote for than I thought it'd be. Through it all though, I can still say that Robotech: The Movie is still an atrocity.

Yeah, this is kinda fun. It gets the gears in my head spinning again as I recall what each episode is about, how much I enjoy or dislike it, then compare it to the other choice. Its also very interesting to see the choices other fans have made, and which episodes end up as the favorites. Very cool tournament.
