"The BRAVE may not live long, but the CAUTIOUS do not live at all ... !"

And so it goes in Survivor and in the Office Pool. There are no immunities to be won here, folks. So this week, we must bid adieu to the fair, but weak Brianna and along with her, our very own MJewel. MJewel, you were such a gem to want to play this game with us. We are indeed sorry to see you go. You have been eliminated from the Office Pool. Please bring me your torch. There is one place, however, that will take you in and that is LoserLodge. Check it out ... you'll be glad you did!

And now, on to the scores:

Congratulations bystander, you have managed to stay at the top of the heap again this week -- barely. Your lead has narrowed considerably to only 5 points! The lovely Miss Flower Power has held on to the number two spot and has come within 5 points of the lead. My man, Kingfish made amazing strides this week by earning 85 points and moving from 7th to a very close 3rd, with only 5 points between him and Miss Flower, and 10 points between him and bystander! Others who improved their rank notably this week include dreamer believer, oz4ever, and Coconut. And then there is DasMole who was saved by his lovely Lydia this week -- she finally brought him out of the RED! Way to go, DasMann!

On the other side, the greatest fall came from Road Kill who went from 5th place last week to 12th this week. He posted late and was forced to make the cardinal sin of picking the same survivor twice. For that, he was fined -50 points! Sorry about that, mate! Unlucky, indeed. All is not lost my dear friend. After all, tomorrow is another day ... and in this game, anything can happen!

bystander, you have until Tuesday at noon EST to make your pick. As for the rest of you, you must wait until bystander makes his/her pick, before you can post your pick -- unless of course, bystander doesn't pick before the deadline. Remember, first come, first serve. Good luck!

A word to the wise: If you must be away Sugar, than contact me and I will have another player make your pick for you ...
