After making it into the Final Four of a Reddit competition for best county

in Florida, Orange County finally sank to the bottom of the sea.


The hate-a-thon has raged on for over 60 days on the Florida subreddit,

with a county being deleted from the map each day (under the guise of

being claimed by the ocean).

(Editor's note: giving us shades of our oldcolumn the "Are We Sunk? Index," RIP.)


Votes for the next victim were tallied by counting the number of upvotes on

suggested counties in the comments of each day's post. Every post

announcing the sinking of one county was also a place to vent spleens

about the worst remaining municipalities. Orange County made it to a final

four that also included Alachua County, Hillsborough County and Pinellas

County, before being sent to a watery grave.


Round 65

Disney World, Sea World, and Universal all sank with Orange County, leaving one more to sink before the finale, CHOOSE WISELY! (3 COUNTIES LEFT!!!)

FLRound64

Orange County just barely outlived Monroe County (home of the Florida

Keys) and Brevard County (home of several exotic ways to get the hell out

of Brevard County).


With all due respect to The Swamp and Fest, we have a feeling it's going to

come down to the two rival counties on the Bay.
