Let me open by saying that we have 26 players this season, a great turnout! Here's hoping everyone has as much fun playing the game as I do hosting it.This season I decided to add a new feature: group average picks. I added a column to my spreadsheet to average the rankings of all 11 teams using everyone's entries, then rated them from 11th place to 1st place based on those average rankings. Some of the average totals were very close together, but I set the lowest average to 1st place, the second lowest to 2nd place, etc. Not having done this before, I'm curious to see how everyone does when compared to the average benchmark.
Anyway, the average list is:
11. Linda/Steve
10. Brad/Victoria
9. LaKisha/Jennifer
8. Mel/Mike
7. Jennifer/Preston
6. Christie/Jodi
5. Amanda/Kris
4. Margie/Luke
3. Mark/Michael
2. Tammy/Victor
1. Cara/Jamie
This episode was a first-- nobody picked Jennifer/Preston to be the first team eliminated. Nobody. Even Mr. Almost-Perfect, last year's champ Yogi, scored one point this week. And Max feels a little less dumb for his Casino bet. Anyway, the week 1 results are:
1 - ARnutz, Belle Book, KwietOne, CTgirl, beau_30, Ontheroadagain, vennui, Yogi, flipxcyz, Jims02
2 - Corvis
3 - dragonflies, louislam, suzzee
4 - Starshine, AddieRacer, Average
5 - michel
6 - kircon
8 - SilverStar, popeave, batts, pinksparkleguitar
9 - Max Headroom , esquire, kidflash212
10 - HauntedOne oops
Until next week... watch out for flying cheese!
