Survivor Gabon Fantasy League (Season Finale Tonight!)

[threeboysmom]

I had a little bit of time this morning to begin some tallying while watching Episode 2. You know what's funny? In the opening scene at the Fang camp site, you see Dan and Crystal lying inside the hut with the BLANKETS and PILLOWS and Ken sitting outside on the HAMMOCK that they win during the Reward Challenge.... although the Reward Challenge hasn't even happened yet! Oops, CBS! LOL!

Apparently, the order in which we see things happen isn't the order in which they actually filmed them...

 

[threeboysmom]

Well, I just finished up my tallying/scoring. Pete is hoping to do his tonight. We will then compare notes to go over any discrepancies between our two scores, rewatching the episode if necessary.

However, I have confidence in my scores, LOL, so to give you a little tease...

The "Dream Team" for this week is Dan, Matty, Crystal, and Ace (in no particular order). These (so far) are the top four scorers this episode.

The "Loser's Lodge" for this week is Sugar, Paloma, Kelly, and Jacque (in no particular order). These (so far) are the bottom four scorers this episode.

Everyone else falls into the middle of the pack somewhere...

HOW ARE YOU DOIN' AENGUS? Yup, those blondes sure are carrying the game

I have no clue the way CBS scores our points.

ok I added all my points based on the people I chose for this week's episode and if I add the numbers listed next to their name I come up with 408 points.

And the fantasy website list me with 420 points (which is good for 2085th place, if you wanted to know)

What happens to the points that we made last week? Do they throw those away? How is week one's points combined with week two's points? Is the bonus points added to us as individuals or are they only to benefit the tribe we are in?

If I was to add my points last week (299) with this weeks points (408) i should come out with 707. And that's not including the 30 bonus points.

So confusing.....

Jedi,

First of all, the scores listed for each Survivor on the CBS website that you're looking at are for the FIRST WEEK. Using that list, that is how you ended up with 299 points for Episode 1. You cannot use that list again for points.

CBS scored our second week apparently (based on the totals I see), but NEVER put up the individual Survivor scores.... so now Pete and I are having to do it ourselves. It's going to take us a while for both of us to score the show separately, then compare our scores, then rewatch to iron out any discrepancies between our numbers, add everything up, and then post it all. Be patient. We're doing the best we can.

If CBS has you at 420 total, that means you scored 121 this week, which may or may not include the bonus question from last week... (420 - 299 = 121).

Does that clear it up for you?

CBS is totally screwed up this year. We're just going to have to do it all ourselves this season

ETA: I took a look at your CBS total score and compared it what I came up with for a score doing it myself, and it appears that your total (420) DOES include the 30 pt. bonus question.

Am I the only one who never could get into CBS and Gave up??
Cause I don't want to be a problem for the rest of you guys
I will bow out gracefully if it helps the rest of you
no hard feeling and just look forward to next year

Let me know

 

[Disneychick74]

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!

Thanks guys!!
I love the chatter but when you dont have a chance to get on for a couple days (like me) there is ALOT to catch up on lol

You guys rock, thanks for keeping tabs for all of us that seem to be hated by CBS.com!

 

[aengus]

Sugar and Kelly are CLEARLY carrying the game! They are under the radar is all pink! I will be surely winning after this week!

Seems I left just in time

Don't quit! You are definently not the only one!

OK good

I didn't want to leave but YOU guys have been so great I didn't want to be the ONLY reason your game was giving you a hard time

Now your stuck with me

 

[threeboysmom]

Scores hopefully will be up tonight! Just waiting for Pete to doublecheck my work.

Stay tuned!

 

[threeboysmom]

OK..... drum roll please....

Pete is working on the leaderboard as we speak. We figured it would be best to post a breakdown of how we arrived at the points so there would be no confusion.

Randy: 35(challenges) + 15(5x name) = 50
GC: 35(challenges) + 18(6x name) = 53
Dan: 35(challenges) + 39(13x name) = 74
Crystal: 35(challenges) + 42(14x name) = 77
Susie: 35(challenges) + 12(4x name) = 47
Matty: 35(challenges) + 30(10x name) = 65
Ken: 35(challenges) – 12(sit out)+ 21(7x name) = 44

Marcus: 10(tree mail) + 42 (14x name) = 52
Charlie: 15(5x name) = 15
Corrine: 10(tree mail) -12(sit out) + 12(4x name) = 10
Jacque: -12(sit out) + 6 (2x name) = -6
Ace: 75(25x name) = 75
Sugar: -18(exile) -12(sit out) + 12(crying) + 15(5x name) = -3
Kelly: -12(sit out) + 18(6x name) = 6
Bob: 36(12x name) = 36
Paloma: -40(boot) – 12(sit out) + 48 (16x name) = -4

To head off any voices of disagreement coming our way, yes, we scored Sugar ONCE for crying. We needed to see tears in order to score it as crying. A tear rolled down her face during her "confessional" during her exile stint. She may have become emotional at other times in the show... but no tears equals no crying points. Same thing goes for Crystal who broke down after the reward challenge. I watched closely for tears, but nothing. Becoming emotional/voice cracking/etc. does not constitute crying (in StinkyPete's eyes, LOL!)

Each time Jeff says their name, it is 3 points! As you can see in Ace's case, that can really add up!! He hit it big in the Reward Challenge and at Tribal Council.... "Paloma. That's two votes, Paloma, one vote Ace"..... "Paloma. That's three votes, Paloma, one vote Ace".... "Ace. That's three votes, Paloma, two votes Ace"... etc. etc. etc.

 

[KrazyPete]

OK, we've given CBS plenty of time to get their act togther. I want you all to have plenty of time to figure out your strategies for this week so we're ditching CBS completely and going with our own counts. Here's the DIS leaderboard for week 2 (the first post has been updated too).

DisBoards Survivor Gabon Fantasy League: Week 2 (episode 3)
Player name: This weeks's score / Total Score
Pink: 268 / 675
Petez: 254 / 640
See.low: 243 / 529
Sorsha: 228 / 513
MPhins: 245 / 505
Matty: 266 / 483
Aengus: 121 / 477
BootQueen: 190 / 473
Briar: 245 / 452
Palmnut: 127 / 448
Amy: 129 / 430
Taz: 145 / 412
Cajun: 94 / 393
Cardinal: 147 / 391
RicksCafe: 143 / 356
DisneyChick: 159 / 334
Themgrind: 143 / 299
Kayla: 234 / 234

Please feel free to check my math and call me out if you think I've made an error. Please refer to the count Pink posted earlier for the numbers we're using this week. You're welcome to play on the CBS site (after all, I'm not giving away any trips to Gabon) but we're completely seperate from them. Pink and I will count each episode and update the leaderboard accordingly. You can expect that we'll post all the counts like we've done this week so that everyone can double check us. Next week we'll get the counts up faster because we won't be waiting to see what CBS does first.

 

[KrazyPete]

I think it was Paloma that said the episode title last week. I think it was probably during her confessional after the challenge and got cut from the final edit. I could totally imagine her saying that right then. Has anyone seen it in any of the CBS.com video extras?

Anyway, here's your episod title for this week and, since I was at TVGuide.com looking it up anyway, a little description:

It Was Like Christmas Morning!
[ EDIT: The description might be a spoiler so I removed it. You can check it out on TVGuide.com. ]

I have painstakingly gone through each and every video extra clip (all 30+) looking for that episode title. Even though it wouldn't matter for the scoring, I wanted the self-gratification of knowing that I was right!! (Marcus, baby!)

ETA: And to answer your question, NO! I did not find the title being said in any of those clips.... Grrr... (but I know it was Marcus... lol)

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

Just to be sure, we are scoring separately from what CBS is saying, correct? Because I have more points on CBS that was calculated here. It really doesn't matter to me either way.

Thanks for all the hard work!

 

[aengus]

Something is obviosly wrong, I am not even winning!

I haven't been able to see last weeks episode so I will most likely stand pat from last week if you dont see differently.

Yes, we are scoring separately.

The reason you have more points on CBS is that they added in your 30 point bonus question. We are not doing that here....

The difference is not 30 points. You have me at 393. CBS has me at 420. no worries, just trying to figure out things

 

[threeboysmom]

Ummm Jedi, that IS 30 points... well actually if you want to get nit picky, it's 27 points (I actually gave you 3 more points than CBS did!!!) Think they missed a name during their counting....

CBS actually has you at 390 (taking out that 30 pt. bonus question)
DIS has you at 393

You're getting an extra name saying in your score....

Does that clear it up for you?

ETA: We can't factor in the CBS bonus questions since we are not using the CBS site for scores... not everybody can get in so it wouldn't be fair...
