Let me just say now that I haven't followed very closely every week (I just look at the pretty pictures hours afterwards) so I'm kinda driving blind into this whole commentary thing but I'll do my best come Friday.

Call me a curmudgeon, but:
Can we stop calling him Our Fearless Leader, already? I want to suck up as much as the next girl, but it's gone past tongue-in-cheek into just twee.
And, I don't follow Coudal too much (read: at all), but isn't this layer tennis thing a pretty clear rip-off of the iStockphoto Steel Cage, which has been going on weekly since 2005?
Also: bah, humbug.

I will now make an upside-down cake joke and include reference to a frowny smiley.

How about "Our Adorable Leader"?
Just to balance shit out, y'know?

Not to bah humbug back (but I agree that fearless leader is getting weird at this point), but the Coudal folks have been running Photoshop Tennis since 2001 and as far as I know came up with the concept.

Nah, totally fair play. I poked through the Layer Tennis site and didn't see archives to pre-date the other. Good to know.
Btw, there definitely should be suggestions made for the next flavor of cheeky, sycophantic Matt honorary; I don't want to spoil anyone's fun. I just would like to start seeing a FRESH one.

How about Great Helmsman? The previous claimants have passed on, so I think it's up for grabs.

I call him CMO: Chief Meta Officer, or Chief for short.
If I knew for sure that he eschews underwear, I'd call him Commando-in' Chief. (But honestly, I really don't want to know)
I'd call him Boss, but jonmc would skin me alive for stealing that from Springsteen.
Whatever title, it needs to outrank Your Humble Benevolent Commissioner. It's a good thing President Dr. Whatsisname quit.

Those stains are a pain to get out though. It's for this reason that I hoist a few hours before a date.
