As we draw closer to I!’s Top 100 Baits Of All Time List, we feel it’s about time for the audience to know who it is that will be participating in the commenting of the baits. So without further ado, here is a segment highlighting the achievements of the five great authors on our panel:
Michael (From Oklahoma)- Ever since his debut to the competition, Michael has slowly but steadily made a name for himself in the competition. Winner of many Oscars for his work in online award campaigns and press work, Michael has always proved himself a great writer in comedic and just plain enjoyable baits. He’s also the head writer of the I! blog, which started the blog craze in the contest. Among his best baits are his great adaptation of Pygmalion and his recent hit You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Zgamer (From Idaho)- Though he started writing for the contest a little late, Zgamer has always shown a great amount of quality in his work ever since his first month. Known for his comedic and dramatic baits, along with his surprisingly good video game adaptations, Zgamer is one of the contest’s top authors. Among his best baits are the quirky comedy Wackos, the innovative biopic Jackrabbit and the religious ensemble film A Faith of One.
Pat (From New York)- Though it took him a little while, Pat eventually climbed the ranks of the competition to become one of the best and most respected authors on the site. Showing a talent in many genres of film, Pat has always surprised his audience in one way or another with his well thought stories and great cast/crew choices. Among his best baits are the BOTM winning Photograph, the great examination on the early years of SNL Live From New York and the dramatic interracial romance tale Border Man. The first author to ever win Best Author twice (July ’06 and March ’07).
Daniel (From Ohio)- One of the best authors on the site, Daniel has always found ways to win an audience with his baits. Whether it’s touching character driven tales or quirky comedies and dramas, Daniel has shown great talent in all of his work. Among his best baits are the quirky Ironic Nonfiction, the compelling E.L., the Tim Burton directed biopic Dali and the great dramedy A New Agenda. The first (and so far only) author to win BOTM twice (Ironic Nonfiction in September ’06 and A New Agenda in July ’07) and the first winner of Bait of the Year (Ironic Nonfiction).
Brian (From Arizona)- One of the few authors who has been writing since the contest’s beginning, Brian continually shows us why he’s one of the best authors in the contest. With baits ranging from very original comedies to great Oscar-minded vehicles, Brian is one of the contest’s most influential authors of all time. Among his best baits are the satirical iLife, the compelling Fresh Heir series and the hit musical bait Balton Productions. Also won BOTM for his Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner comedy Contemporary Comedy.
We are only a few days and posts away from the start of the ceremony. We are just as excited as everyone to see who makes it to the top of the list. Good luck to you all.

The selected panel is fascinating and very well chosen. I wish the best of luck to every author who made the list of the 150 best baits. I also wish an enormous amount of luck to Tony and his bait "Dominion" (my favorite bait of all time) as well as to James Somerton and his bait "Silence" (my second favorite bait of all time).
Nice article, I hope it builds the hype a little...
