Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 52/@comment-5482968-20150221042447

Peter uploaded a new post on his blog on his website. There's some info that could be of use on there. Here is the blogpost for those who are interested in reading the whole thing, but if you don't, I'll break down what I saw as "clues" so to speak down below.

"We chose a couple matchups to start writing, lined up two very special guests returning, found some great beats to start writing with."

As the News video stated, Pete and Lloyd are back to work on ERB, and have some matchups picked out it seems, as well as some beats. What really interests me is the two "very special guests", and more importantly, "returning". Given he's stated both with the implication he got them both at the same time, I would guess Rhett & Link, or possibly Smosh (my first thoughts were R&L). Both duos could probably return at some point, so neither is a stretch.

"Right now I'm reading a thick book about the Allied invasion of Italy, WWII style.

It goes into really great detail about the individual people involved, from Winston Churchill, to Eisenhower, to General Patton, to some Colonel, to a captain, to a private on the front line, down to an old Italian woman looking for scraps of bread while she ducks from artillery shells."

The first thing that stood out here was Italy, and so my mind drifted toward Mussolini, as Pete did say we would be seeing a dictator this season. As Jack the Ripper and Ellen DeGeneres are not really dictators, then it'd be safe to assume one will be coming in this second half of Season 4. However, given it's the Allied invasion of Italy, it's possible it's referring to another, perhaps Patton or Churchill, as both have been mentioned before. It could all still be background info for Mussolini, but I wouldn't call that a confirmation by any stretch of the word.

That's it. Came out a lot longer than I had imagined. Oh well, discuss below, I suppose.
