Player Totals:
Top scorer this week?
That would be ... Wallflower! A mere 3 points off the record weekly high score and it propels her up the list quite a bit.
However, personofinterest still sits in 1st place overall. With D'Abby taking it easy in 2nd and Aruba capping out the Top3.

6th Eviction
Deadline for entry: Thursday, August 1st @ 9pm BOARDTIME.

The MVP twist has been temporarily benched and in it's place we bring in the next twist.
We all know how "floaters" are bad. It was pounded into our heads from the get-go.
But I'd counter with the fact that 3 of the four evictions so far have been of big gamers.
And where are the floaters? Floating about the house. Par usual.

Which leads us to this dreaded decision making twist.
One which may have you regretting your choice immediately after you make it.
Mwahahaha...

I was checking the spreads and wouldn't you know it, not a single player has EVER amassed a team of 4 non-floaters.
Those with 3 of 4: Snidget (twice) ~ P of I (thrice) ~ Aruba ~ tribe ~ Rebel

On the other end a few players have filled their teams entirely with floaters.
and those of us with 0 of 4: Rebel ~ suzzee ~ Snidget ~ Wall66 ~ tribe

Which means, historically, it seems a bit easier to fill up on floaters than it is to fill up on the power hamsters.

Therefore I have created an alternative to the "normal" entry.

The logistics are this...
You will have to choose between Normal 4 Team OR 5 Floaters Team

With "Normal 4 Team" you need to make an entry as you have been doing, with 4 hamsters whom you hope will make big moves and supply you with points. No Floaters allowed. Just like you have been trying to do since the beginning.
Pointwise: "Normal 4 Team" will accrue their normal points for HOH, POV, MVP(if they have it) NOMs and Evictee.
However, if you get all 4 to actually make points, no floaters, I will DOUBLE your weekly points.

With "5 Floaters" you need to make an entry with 5 hamsters. 5 whom you hope will NOT make any big moves and "float" through the episode.
Pointwise: "5 Floaters Team", will receive all normal points UNLESS your team is FULL of floaters. IF you manage to name 5 floaters I will award you with a straight up 60 points. If not, then everyone on your team will receive normal points and penalties.

Entry Examples:
"Normal 4 Team": Hamster 1 ~ Hamster 2 ~ Hamster 3 ~ Hamster 4

OR

"5 Floaters Team": Hamster 1 ~ Hamster 2 ~ Hamster 3 ~ Hamster 4 ~ Hamster 5

The vince3 memorial list of remaining hamsters:
Aaryn ~ Amanda ~ Andy ~ Candice ~ Elissa ~ GinaMarie
Helen ~ Howard ~ Jessie ~ Judd ~ McCrae ~ Spencer

Host Notes:
* None of this is meant to confuse, but...
* I believe the max for a successful Normal entry would be 100 points, 80 without MVP... lowest would be 34.
* Without revealing strategies, it's also possible to acheive a max of 55 points for misplaying the 5 Floaters Team.
* And of course, it's also possible to receive a -4 for misplaying a Normal entry.
* Don't read too much into these tid-bits. As I have already done.
* It simply is another strategy for those of us who think that it'll be easier to name 5 floaters than name 4 power players.
* Or will it? Ack!
