The current image is distorted, of poor quality, and has a bug in the corner. Anyone have a better quality image or replacement?

GIS didn't turn up another version of that pic.

DaimondStar07 again. We had a brief stint not too long ago with him uploading several squished images from this show (around when we chose the image for Big, Thin, Short Trio). Didn't realize he was still uploading them.

I don't think it's too bad.

The depicted shot is okay, but the aspect-ratio is seriously screwed up. Everything's squished horizontally. Also, it's heavily artifacted.

That is not a good image, I don't think, but I fixed the aspect ratio and painted out the bug.

Not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but what's the difference between this and Touché? The pages say to compare them... and upon comparing them, they seem identical.

Presuming they are different tropes, maybe we could use an image from the cult TV show "The Iron Chef"? Just show the two chefs shaking hands at the end? Caption: "Which one lost?"

Just because it's a "cult show" doesn't mean it's well known enough to actually be exempt from Just A Face And A Caption.

To me, just having two pictures of chefs shaking hands only imply Friendly Rivalry and not Graceful Loser, unless it's explicitly shown that one of the chefs loses.

Maybe a picture of one athlete raising another athlete's hand after being defeated? Or a boxer shaking hands/hugging his opponent (with championship belt for emphasis)?

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

And we should consider a TRS thread to figure out what the differences are (if any) between this and Touché.

That would be a Trope Talk job.

Personally speaking, the only time I can recall hearing "Touché" used is when X says something and Y says something back that perfectly and eloquently counters/refutes X's point, and X says it to acknowledge that fact.
