I think that depends on whether the panel of judges is all humans or they have a couple of octopuses sitting there as well.

Might sound snarky but really just curious (and I'm older ;)

Are we close to standardizing on pluralization in English into 's and 'es?

octopuses instead of octopi fishes instead of fish aquariums instead of aquaria

media and mediums diverged a long time ago, but it seems as though the last few years has seen a dramatic shift

oh good golly, a better question might be: how often do you read your own post and realized you already know the answer :)

From what I've read, the "us" at the end of octopus isn't Latin, but Greek, so if you want to split hairs, it would be "octopodes".
now this is smart television producing!
