We have some good news and some bad news. We'll give you the bad news first: Donald Trump is actually winning something. It's not the election yet or anything, but it's still slightly painful to type the words "Donald Trump" and "win" in the same sentence. Shudder.

But here's the good news: He's winning because people have loved seeing him make a fool of himself this summer. So there's a silver lining to every cloud!

The other positives from the first two rounds of our Viral Moment Tournament are that the Internet also really loves seeing society rally against Cecil the Lion's killer and the marriage equality celebrations. Is our faith in humanity restored? Eh, somewhat.

Today is round three of the tourney, which means that there were four eliminations yesterday. You collectively decided that Taylor Swift's 1989 Tour girl squad, LeBron James' penis, Rachel Dolezal's fake black-ness and the real truth behind Snapchat just weren't quite ridiculous enough to make the cut. And that's okay! Because there's still some great viral fodder left in the mix.

So now we ask you to vote again and decide which moments will make it into tomorrow's semifinal. It's a decision almost as big as LeBron's...well, you know.
