Week 2 ~ “Taking Candy from a Baby”

And, we’re off! First and foremost, THIS GAME IS STILL OPEN TO ANY NEW PLAYERS -- JUMP RIGHT IN, THE WATER'S FINE! Welcome to the Office Pool! I’m very happy to report that we have no off-the-starting-block drownings this season! None of you picked Marisa. Therefore, you are all safe, at least for the time being. Perennial Office Pool Champion Flowerpower is off to a great start. She correctly guessed the number of confessionals Russell S. would have and that helped put her atop the Leaderboard off the starting block.

This year, we are making it simple in the Pool. There won’t be as much scoring to be won. The way to earn points in the Pool this season is by:

Picking Order- first pick gets the most points and last pick only gets one point;

Correctly guessing the number of confessionals your survivor has during the episode. You will receive 10 points for each confessional. If you guess “No” confessionals for your Survivor and they have none, I will reward you with 50 points, but you must write the words “No confessionals” in your post.

Your Survivor has the Title Quote: 25 pts.

Finally there will be two bonus opportunities each week. First bonus will be worth 35 points. The next bonus will be worth negative –25 points.

The only week we will have other opportunities to earn more points will be in the last week.

The Week's POINTS:

+10X the number of Confessionals for Hit-the-Nail-on-the-Head Bonus: ohmyheck, agman, flowerpower, 30 points each; and taffnic, iatovttotx78, 5cats, Vince3, 10 points each

ALL PICKS MUST BE MADE BY 7 PM EST ON THE DAY THE SHOW AIRS. This game is still open to any new players who want to play. Just make a pick in the Pool!

Good luck all!
