LAST EDITED ON 07-22-09 AT 00:39 AM (EST)

It’s time for Summer School. Listen up class.
It's officially time for the Big Brother 11 PTTE!!

Ladies and Gentleman, Voyeurs, Game Players, Reality Show Addicts, and Hamster Lovers:

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

Okay... here's the goal for graduation:

To start the game you'll need to make a list that reflects your prediction about
the ENTIRE eviction order for this season.
Starting with the next HG (#12) to be eliminated and ending with the winner (#1).

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.

I grade on a scale and will plan to throw in a few pop quizzes.

Sorry I’m late class, the teachers meeting ran over! You know how old Mr. Smith like to talk. He took the floor and two hours later he still had it. I’m not sure what happened be cause I had to leave to make this class. I’ll let you know if anything affects you.

Your first assignment was to study the photos I handed out and to list each hamster’s name in correct eviction order.

Everyone turned their paper in on time. I will list the grades below.

Congratulations Corvis & VisionQuest on receiving an A+.

I would ask krismiss2us to come to my desk. Your paper is incomplete.
You have Braden listed twice. Let me know where you want him listed.
You also have (#13) Chima listed as the first evictee.
Is that what you wanted?

Ok class, settle down.

Braden was the first class member to be evicted from Big Brother 11.

He can now go back to surfing and working as an international model and an actor. Will he continue to boast about his self-perceived intelligence, looks, charm and overall desirability? Maybe not.

Read what he has to say about it here.

Now the game begins:

Grade - Place – Name – Score on current list
In case of ties, I alphabetize.

A+ (1) Corvis – 0
A+ (1) VisionQuest – 0

A (3) kircon - 1
A (3) HauntedOne - 1
A (3) Starshine - 1

B+ (6) Lasann - 2
B+ (6) mia rules - 2

B (8) Suzzee - 3

C+ (9) mrc – 4

C (10) SilverStar - 5

F (12) tribephyl - 11

(Incomplete)- krismiss2us I will place you after you talk to me.

Last week I gave a special quiz about the mystery house guest placement.
All of you receive a bonus free edit.

I will ask my question again.

Who do you think will win Big Brother 11?

Your list is what I will grade weekly.

Do you want to change it?

What are the rules?

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. Keep an eye out for pop quizes the will reward you with a free edit.

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 eviction, 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 eviction episode. I will try to get these up as soon as I can.

6) After the first evection 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.

Where can I find research material?

You can start HERE.

The CBS site can be found HERE.

You can check out the Big Brother Live Feed Updates & Spoilers Forum. Or not!

What ever you do have fun with this summer class.

When does the next class start?

Class begins promptly at 7:00 pm central, 8:00pm ET/PT. Thursday, July 23rd

There will be an informal class tonight at 8:00 central for POV.

Class, there is an important announcement. Listen up!

I’m anxious to meet all of you and to help me know you better; please write a report on your favorite past player.
It must be at least 25 words long.

You will receive a gold star. Turn all your gold stars in at the end of the semester to receive points taken off your score.

Post your paper in this thread by Thursday, July 23rd 11:59pm Central.

If you need more time, talk to me after class.

Or if you have any other questions just tack them to the door.

Thanks for the apple Sir Tribe, it was mighty fine.

zazzy, I will wave the entry fee for you this week to enter.
Or anyone else who would like to join.
It’s the easiest game to enter:

Post a list with the next evictee (#12) to the winner (#1).
