I too would agree with some of the opposing arguments against Cheesecaking but that is a discussion for another day.

Regardless of those opinions it was hard not to walk through the Curie pits by where 148, 900, 1114, and 1923 were setup and not be blown away by the dedication and drive these teams had. As it has been mentioned before the 148 & 1114 pits were a non-stop Nascar pit crew doing everything they could to prepare for Saturday. I'm sure their work in the pits in St. Louis barely touches the surface of what they have been doing in the weeks leading up to St. Louis and reflects on how much their entire team gets it with mentors and students working side by side with each other and collaboratively among teams.

While this specific Curie alliance has been talked about a lot with their Cheesecake this weekend there were countless teams doing the same on Saturday morning and again it was an amazing sight to behold with teams working together to do what they could to have the highest average.

Its all in how the game was created that those four green buckets created a huge demand among alliances looking to make it far in the tournament and many alliances including the 148, 900, 1114, and 1923 alliance did so to the best of their ability while following the rules.
