Survivor Gabon Fantasy League (Season Finale Tonight!)

[See.low]

By the way, did anyone catch the episode title being said last night (She obviously is post-op)?? I can't seem to find it. Perhaps it was cut? Anyone hear it and can point me in the right direction?

I was nosing around yesterday (and I mean really nosing around heh) and I read that Charlie said it. I never heard it myself though. Maybe it was cut?

I'm confused. If you were nosing around yesterday and read that Charlie said it, why did you put Randy down as saying it?

I sure hope you're doing better in your AP Chemistry class...

ETA: Wait a minute, Card... I take that back... you're making my head hurt following your equations... but yet... you're right on every one....

I took accelerated Algebra II last year


Did any of you watch the VP debate after Survivor last night?

I was nosing around after the episode aired. I only wish I had that insight!

 

[threeboysmom]

I only wish I had that insight!

Yeah, me too. Ten minutes before showtime, I had Marcus down as catching a fish, then changed it to "says episode title" last minute. Thought it sounded "doctorish" to me. Stupid stupid grrr grrr....

 

[threeboysmom]

So is everybody good with the bonuses as they stand? Did you notice anything else? Or different?

There were a couple of "close calls." It appears Matty may have kissed Crystal on the cheek while hugging her on the ground after just winning the reward challenge, but it's hard to really discern since her head is in the way. Nobody had Matty down as kissing anyways..... I believe... so I'm going to stop analyzing that scene, LOL.

The other was Dan brushing his teeth. Man, I SO wanted this one since it was my bonus choice for him. The stick went in his mouth (oh yeah baby!)... he sucked for a bit... but then the stick came back out again. Never saw any sort of hand motion that would suggest actual picking of teeth, and trust me, I WAS WATCHING!. Grrrrr Dan!

Last night was just not my night!

For bonus points, it looks like we have...

Marcus - Catches a fish (grrr)
Bob - Brushes teeth with a stick
Sugar - Finds hidden immunity idol

I did not notice any kissing, nor did I ever hear the episode title. If you've noticed either of these, speak up now and Pete and I will review the episode once again...

Wasn't Dan picking at his teeth with a stick soon after the opening credits? I think it was around when GC was asking Randy if he was the leader now.

Just saw your post Pink. Well I think I should get the points and you and Pete shouldn't, that sounds fair. If I don't get the points, I'll be playing under protest.

Yeah, Pete and I went round and round on this. There was no actual picking movement. Stupid guy just sucked that stick.

And by the way, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE CAUGHT ME A FISH!

Another bonus blown...

NO WAY, JOSE! You've already closed the gap on me SIGNIFICANTLY. You're not getting an extra 30 points from me

I'm not feeling bad for someone who is most likely the top scorer this week

 

[KrazyPete]

I know there's going to be some gray areas to come up with the bonus points from time to time. I tried to anticipate problems and add descriptions to the bonus point categories to catch some of those. In the event that something isn't obviously a score I'm going to go with it's not. I think that's inherently more fair than trying to judge the gray areas week after week. I would have allowed for anything that looked like using a stick to clean teeth.

Brushes teeth with a stick
This happens more often than you might think. We'll award bonus points for this category if any survivor is seen picking at their teeth with a stick. Picking at their teeth with a finger, machete, small rock, whatever won't count. Only sticks.

I had Dan down for the stick thing too. I'd love to give myself those points but looking at the video (over and over again) there's no case for it. He looks like a farm boy chewing on a piece of straw. He's not making any kind of cleaning motion.

checking in from orlando and the first episode I ever missed @_@

But I see i got 30 bonus points

Pink? Did I win?

 

[threeboysmom]

Pink? Did I win?

Sorry, you've been voted off.

 

[Cardinal]

By the way guys, who do you have to thank for the "Brushes teeth with a stick" bonus? Huh? Huh?

 

[aengus]

Sorry, you've been voted off.

I must be winning to get such hostility from you woot!

 

[KrazyPete]

I think my score has been updated. I'm currently showing 670 points on CBS. The problem is they haven't changed the table that shows how many points each Survivor made. I kind of doubt they will over the weekend.

We can wait until they do or we can start each posting our own points again. That latter option still leaves out people who were never able to get the CBS site to work for them. We can just completely forget CBS and I can go through and count the points in the regular categories like Pink and I did the bonuses this week. You'd have to accept that there may be some discrepancy in my count and your CBS score. I know for a fact it was way off sometimes last year. I'll probably Give CBS until the end of the day Monday to fix their chart before going to a backup plan.

I really am sorry this has been so difficult this year. It's surprising that a company like CBS would do something like this so poorly. After several years of runnning a fantasy league for Survivor and Big Brother, you'd think they'd have something that worked.

 

[threeboysmom]

Wow, CBS! How hard is it to throw up an image with each Survivor's scores like you did last week???

This is crazy. There is no way to find out your score unless you want to wade through all the 16,000 names that are playing!!! FIVE at a time, I might add!

Good news is.... I'm currently coming in at #11 with 703 points out of 16,539 people!! Wow, I actually have a slight chance at winning a trip to Gabon!!

ETA: Pete, I'm at a loss as to how to handle this. What would you do with a case like me - I played a different team on the CBS site than I did here on DIS...

We'll just wait and see if CBS updates that score table. Maybe storm thier forums about it this weekend. Then Tuesday we'll decide if we need to do our own counting from here on out.

Gosh so much to read here!
Is it possible to have one chatty thread and one with just everyones picks and the score? LOL
BTW WELCOME LILY!!!! I have not been checking in as much as I should awesome to see you here, It is I, Cloiepooh
Anyway

PETE OR PINK:
I posted picks the first week, they were in post #65 I think, are they added in to my score this week???
Just wondering
Thanks!

The scores are always in the first post at the top of the thread. I'll add a link to the post where all the picks are put together. Hopefully we won't need two threads that way. Besides, sometimes the chatty stuff is helpful.

The leaderboard in the first post covers the first week. Your points have been included there. When we get the second week totals they be added together.

 

[threeboysmom]

Yes. to reiterate what Pete said...

ALL THE INFORMATION you need to play this game can be found in the first and second posts of this thread - rules, updates, scores, and picks for each week. No need to wade through all our "chit chat." I personally find the chatting the best part of playing on the league, but I know that's not everybody's cup of tea....

Looks like CBS is not going to cooperate with us this year. Pete and I are planning on going through the video a few times and scoring everything for Episode 2 by hand ourselves. However, we both have very busy weekends planned. Hopefully, we can get the scores to you all by Tuesday at the latest. So hang tight! We're working on it!
