God I hope not. Would say things about the rest of the event, and not good things. It's like at 28, when ST got HoTY. To me it was a bit more indicative that the originals didn't really live up to their massive potential. Even if it was an IP, and even if it was one of my least favorites, I'm glad HoTC got HoTY (heh) just because of what it represented.
All that said, despite somewhat resenting the crowd drawn by ST and BE, I can at least respect a BE house on the basis that it tries new ideas and introduces some creativity. Still, if it wins HoTY, that's not a good thing--it'd be like if Fear Factor got HoTY at 12.
