"BB10 PTTE: Wk 9 Results-Wk 10 List Changes"

Posted by kircon on 09-10-08 at 01:02 PM
Ladies and Gentleman, Houseguest, Reality Show Lovers, Voyeurs, Game Players and Hamster Lovers, it's officially time for the Big Brother 10 PTTE!!

What's a PTTE you ask?
Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"

Okay... here's the goal:

Post a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order for the tenth season.

This doesn't need to have any analysis, although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want... this is a game and is intended to be fun. Use any spoiler information available to you, coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do. There will be a bonus for keeping your original list.

The tenth hamster left the house. Keesha Smith took her bag and laugh and walked out the door to talk with Julie. Well, you can read about it here.



Now onto the game!

Place – Name – Score on current list

^Upward movement

In case of ties, I alphabetize

HauntedOne continues to hang onto the lead. Congratulations! Only suzzee & VisionQuest correctly predicted that Keesha would finish in 4th place. Congratulations!

1 – HauntedOne – 11

^2 - suzzee –12

3 – Corvis - 13

4 – mia rules – 19

5 – SilverStar - 20
^5 – VisionQuest – 20

7 – Sir tribephyl – 24

8 – DearAbby – 27

9 – LostAddict -28
^9 - toddE – 28 (includes PSB)

11 – KwietOne – 32

12 – kircon – 34 (includes PSB)

13 – Reality_Tv_fan – 35 (includes PSB)

14 – bdemoney – 37 (includes PSB)

Scoring:

1) You do NOT want points... they're bad... it's like golf. Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them.

2) Points will be awarded to every contestant in the game after each eviction show. They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's bootee would finish and where the bootee actually finished.

For example: You thought that Joe was going to be the Big Brother winner. If he is the first eviction, you would receive 12 points. (13– 1 = 12) If Joe gets evicted in 9th place, you would receive 8 points. (9 – 1 = 8) If you thought Joe was going to be evicted first, and he was, you would receive 0 points for the week (13 – 13 = 0)

3) You will be given (+4 points), every time you change your PTTE list... but it's only +4 points, so change it often if you think it will help you out.
You may change the list as many times as you want, up to the deadline. The last list at the time of deadline will be used. DO NOT EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE OR I WILL GO WITH THE LAST LIST from the previous week.

4) If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 5 points per episode you missed. That means that
it's possible to join the game after several episodes and enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.

5) A point total will be posted by me shortly after each episode. I will try to get these up as soon as I can.

6) After the first show has aired please do not edit your post to make changes. Just start a new post if you want to change your PTTE. It's very important not to change your original picks-if I make a mistake or my computer crashes, it's the only proof I have of your original picks.


PRE-SEASON BONUS (PSB):
I will offer a "Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.

Keep your list for:
3 weeks = -1 point
6 weeks = -1 points

**9 weeks = -2 points**

Final week = -2 points
If you keep your original list all the way through you will have 6 points subtracted from your score.

If you still have your original list this week, I will subtract 2 points.

You must not change your original list to receive this bonus.
If you don’t use the free list change, I will use it as a tie-breaker, if needed.

You've made hamster watching loads more fun this time around, I enjoyed watching & trying to figure these little loonies out.

I also picked up 1984 by Orwell just because we should all remember where Big Brother really came from.

Thanks again for all the fun & games


Coolest Siggie Ever thx Tribe! 2008

I'm glad you had fun. I love the game of PTTE and hosting it. I hope everyone else had fun.

This is a copy of the book I read in 10th grade in 1972. I still have it. It changed my life. Thought Police, cameras watching and hearing EVERYTHING!, Newspeak, and Ministry of Truth. I could not imagine.

Where I was in: #1972 I turn 16. I get my license. There’s a lot of talk about Watergate.

I could not imagine the year 1984 or even the year 2001 (one of my favorite movies). I was young and the world was at my fingertips.

Fast-forward 11 years there was still no Big Brother.

What I did in: #1984 I marry the man of my dreams and gain 4 more children, making 6. The first Apple Macintosh goes on sale.

There was still no Big Brother. At least I didn't see him.

Fast-forward to tonight. I drive to band and count several cameras over the roads I take. When I get to the private college's parking lot a camera follows me to the entrance. There are two cameras in the cafe as I walk to the chapel (where we practice). There is a camera in each wing. I don't know if they can hear us. I hope not. Is Big Brother here? Or could computer/text abbreviations be the new Newspeak. I say yes IMHO. Suzzee you are my new BFF. Good Luck in the BB games.

You will have to join us over at the Survivor Game Forum for the S17 PTTE game.


#2004 4th grandchild is born. We buy 55 acres of hunting land. Martha Stewart serves a 5-month sentence for insider trading. A 9.3 magnitude earthquake, near Sumatra generates tsunami that crashes into several nations, worst is Myanmar. Official death toll-186,983, missing-40,000.

New speak? IDK, maybe. LOL OMG

flat screen tv, remote control everything, now we make a game of big brother....just to get us used to it.....nothing to worry about

now I'm getting paranoid

I was 16 in '72 as well. Thought the year 2000 was forever away. Now it is only it's forever ago. bummer

I will be over playing the S17 PTTE, suppose I better start looking over the new bait, um contestants.



Coolest Siggie Ever thx Tribe! 2008

UGH! I took a gamble and had Keesha as winner...I'm so bummed...I'm sick of the boys club winning BB. And I was so close for once at PTTE!! Oh well, thanks for another great game Kircon!!!
