pick your five favorite undercovers

Since so many commenters took it upon themselves to rank the Undercover performances, we figured we’d make the process semi-official as the series comes to a close. Here's how the voting will work: You must be a registered user. Because we know how painful it will be to choose just one favorite, you’ll pick up to five. Your top choice will get 5 points, your second choice 4 points, and so on. You'll be able to vote more than once, but only your latest vote will count toward the tally. Voting will end September 7. The winner will receive nothing except bragging rights. Feel free to make up your own special categories in the comments section. I'll get you started: Ballsiest performance that brought out the haters: Cursive.
