Week 5 Recap

Bootee: Spencer Duhm
Secondary Targets: Taj (x1)
Reward Challenge: Jalapao
Immunity Challenge: Timbira
First Confessional: Taj

Bonus Question #1: If Jiffy and The Amazing Race Phil got into a fistfight, who would win? (will add up all votes and then give out +/- 2 points to those who picked correctly) Jiffy wins 8 to 6
Bonus Question #2: Will Jiffy be seen wearing sunglasses in episode five? No
Bonus Question #3: Which contestant name will Jiffy say first at tribal council? Spencer
Bonus Question #4: Which contestant name will Jiffy say first in the recap? Brendan
Bonus Question #5: Which contestant name will Jiffy say first in new footage in episode five? Sandy

So does everyone feel well rested and full of energy after our NCAA tournament break? Well the two-week break is now over and it’s time to put that nose back on the grindstone.

In the monumental fistfight of the reality TV hosts, our boy Jiffy put the smackdown on Phil. It was close and Jiffy did get bloodied, but he sucker punched Phil below the belt to be declared the champion. Now I wonder if it was a battle of the biggest ego, who would win? Probably Jiffy.

Week 5 entries proved one thing, that our scoreboard leaders deserve to be there. Wallflower66 and kircon continue to lead there divisions of PTB. Both not only remain in first, but also had the top weekly scores in their divisions. WF did it by being the only player to correctly guess the first confessional of Taj and k remained in first by avoiding the secondary target of Taj. So it was all about Taj last entry, well done ladies!

Since we are getting around the merge time, please list one player in RC and IC guesses if you choose to play. If there is no merge this week, then the player that you list and the tribe that they are on will be considered correct or not correct. Good luck to all!

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask.

1) The object of this game is to pick the contestant who will be booted each week. If you fail to list the bootee during the week 4 entry or afterward, the three strikes and your out rule will begin to apply.

2) The minimum amount of contestants that can be on your bootee list is one and the maximum is one less than the amount of players remaining in the game.

3) Entries can be made at anytime from the start of the weekly entry thread, up until one minute before the start of the show on the East Coast. You can make as many edits as you want up until the East Coast deadline with no penalty. A “no edit” entry will earn a +/- 2 point bonus.

4) Should there ever be a double elimination episode, you must have at least one bootee on your list to stay in the game and having neither listed will mean elimination. Osten, Janu, Bruce, or Skupin type players will be considered a bootee even though no written votes were cast against them.

5) Once signed up to play the game, if you happen to forget to make an entry for a week, your previous week entry will be used. The second no entry week in a row will result in elimination from the game. Yes, you can have another poster make picks for you should something arise.

6) Red ink players must have the bootee on their list, same as positive point players. If the bootee is not on your list, you will be eliminated from the game once you have used up your three strikes, the same as positive point players.

+20 points for correctly having the bootee on your list
+10 points for each vote cast against a non-eliminated contestant
-5 points for each contestant on your list who receives no votes at tribal council
-10 points each for making a guess at the first confessional, reward challenge, or immunity challenge
+20 points for a correct first place reward or immunity challenge guess
+40 points for a correct first confessional guess
-20 points for not having the bootee on your list
+/- 2 points bonus for having an unedited entry
+/- 2 point for correct bonus question #1 guess, no penalty for incorrect
+/- 4 points for correct bonus question #2 guess, no penalty for incorrect
+/- 6 points for correct bonus question #3 guess, no penalty for incorrect

jello vennui, BQ #1 is a freebie this week. +2 for positive point players and the reds get -2 just for answering. If you really wanted to, you could answer Ghandia as the hotty from Thailand if you really wanted

For the nailing my fav hotty it's a +/- 10 bonus. +10 for positive and -10 for the reds. Hope this helps.

Seems as if I need to perform a little PTB-CPR on myself as I'm close to being out for good.
So while I can't promise I'll be back next week, or any week between now and season 19, I can at least see to it that I try to boost myself out of cellar dwelling (or perhaps toe-tag myself) this week.
