What a week, and I'm not talking Amazon. Regardless of where you sit on the fence it certainly put's life (and this game) in perspective. But this is Fanatics so I will stick to Survivor, or specifically the Pick the Bootee Game.

Scores were on the upswing this past week with 5 players ending up in the red. Unfortunately we lost one player, Metria who was the only person to fail to list Shawna. Spidey and Swami managed to survive without posting picks last week although both ended up in the red. Hopefully both will post in time this week! Since we are talking red I must mention forehead who had another amazing week with -20 points giving him an incredible-95 points for the year! I vow to give him a run for his money next year!

Atop our leaderboard sits katem for the fourth straight week. Is he truly our king or will a lowly jester steal his crown? Kokoro and Keae are in second and third place respectively. However we did have two players make a major move this week. Sharing our weekly top score are bubbastan and Ulame. They both scored 13 points thus split the five point bonus ending with 15.5 points each for the week. Of course bubbastan and Ulame along with rwjeb, johnthemod and GTmike all correctly picked Christy for the first confessional. Congratulations to all!

Okay this is our traditional merge week. Whether we have a merge or not will be determined showtime, but I suggest if you want to gamble on Individual Immunity Challenge picks to do so. In the event of no merge I will not penalize you. Also please note picking the correct Individual Immunity Challenge winner nets you 4 bonus points while incorrectly guessing it costs you -2 points. A weighted risk/reward bonus like the confessional that some may take in order to make up ground on the leaders. You may also select team IC/RC winners in the event of a non-merge. You will not be penalized if a merge does take place. If you are confused, please review the scoring below!

Also I wanted to remind you that any remaining picks will count towards your final score only if you survive to the end. It may or may not affect the outcome, so it's your call on how many you want to use each week. Only one player is below 20 and I think it's intentional! I am debating changing this S7 so let me know if you like or dislike this part. No bonus points for guessing no RC!

Also LionChow mentioned a possible earlier cut-off time for entries due to late spoilers and the fact that some people can't access this late information due to jobs/school or whatever. I've decided not to change any deadlines for our game this season but I would like input for S7. Earlier? Yes or no. Just answer when you post your picks.

Enough! Good luck this week!

Absolutely in favor of earlier cut-off time for S7. (With possibly a penalty for late editing as LC is considering. Uhh, that's interesting if you're playing for red...)

Looking forward to the competition for worst score next season, echogirl! Thanks again for all your efforts!

Hoping to break -100 and save a few picks to stay around a little while longer...
