Welcome Losers it’s time to light the fuse on our rocket scientist John and watch him wonder why his launch date was moved up.

It’s time for the Awards! applause But first a word from Kingfish, “Glub glub glub.” Thanks Kingfish, words to live by.

Loser of the Week Award +30

This will have to go to John who rocketed right into the Ponderosa courtesy of that old fuse lighter Russell. Gosh John, trust Russell? It’s not rocket science apparently. You get the points multiplied by -10 to the 3rd power, divided by the dark roots of my freshly highlighted hair. Have a twinkie, and a cold compress for that jaw that hit the floor.

Everyone of us Losers will be the recipients of the +30 bonus since we had to deal with the Russell and Jiffy ReCrapular Extravaganza Turkey. Woo and hoo.

Lodge Points and Awards +10

Daw of the Week most posts per Loser is Agman . Plus a bonus of +20 for that totally in vogue winter siggie, thanks sweetie, I lurve it muchly!

Casting Couch Award goes to Tribe because he found the REAL Santa Clause and like Wallflower said, YUM!

Maid for a Day Award goes to Wallflower to go with that vacuum, everyone should have people, right?

PTHTHTH Award goes to the first snowfall which forced me to locate the snowbrush after several months of disuse and then use it to get that disgusting carp off my windows. sigh here we go again. – 2000 points and deleted from the game.

Let’s solve this Mystery Bonus

In your entry list three choices for the perpetrator of the Lodge Mystery which is so mysterious that you will also have to tell what the mystery is. Is that why it’s a mystery? I don’t know, it’s a mystery to me.

After the votes are in I’ll throw the names in my trash my mystery solver and pull out the name of the Mastermind and all “mysteries” will be eligible for the winning crime du jour. If you have the Mastermind on your list or have submitted the winning crime you will win 50 points for each.

Scrutinize your fellow lodgemates and check their drawers (any of their drawers) for clues and tattle tell us whodunit and what happened. There will be some bonus entertainment points to be had so go for it Losers.

Mystery Date Entry is he or she a dream or a dud?

Pick a date for this weeks game entry, their points will be your bonus we here believe in relaxed, very very relaxed dating codes so anything goes. An-y-thing wink wink nudge nudge you can even go solo by picking yourself but that wouldn’t be n-e-a-r-l-y as much fun but to each his or her own. You can “date” someone who’s already been picked because some of the dating pool doesn’t always come up for air every week besides a ménage a trois may be fun but four’s a crowd so keep it to no more then two dates per person.

edit to clarify: Once a person is picked twice for a date then their dance card is full, find another worthy loser to hook-up with.

In keeping with our dating theme hot daters Burnett and Jiffy appear to be sending two formerly potential millionaires to the Ponderosa this week.

Who will take the walk of shame? (20 points each) List them in the order of their exit correctly and gain a bonus (20 points).

That’s it Losers. Mystery Cam is loaded and pointing your way tell us about your dating plans and anything else you want. We are Watching……
