Week 9 Scores

STANDINGS
Matt: +10 (69)
Merideth: +6 (60)
Kenhoffy: +2 (56) - ELIMINATED
Challenge_fans: +0 (54) - ELIMINATED
Nate: +9 (52)
Alaina: +3 (51)

With a huge week, Matt has all but secured the championship. With Johnny and Emily throwing up a game clinching +10, Matt has a comfortable lead ahead of Merideth, who only has Camila left. The person of interest here is Nate, who could vault just about everybody as CT and Diem make their late move to the front. Ultimately it could be a little too late, but it's still pretty awesome. Let's go CT and Diem!

Kenhoffy and Challenge_fans both had their final players eliminated. Despite playing a great game, they'll likely slide to the bottom of the standings after weeks fighting for the championship. Sorry guys, better luck next year.

Week 8 Scores

STANDINGS
Matt: +8 (59)
Challenge_fans: +7 (54)
Kenhoffy: +5 (54)
Merideth: +4 (54)
Alaina: +5 (48)
Nate: +7 (43)

Challenge_fans moves up a bit, two spots to second place, and is now solidly within contention. Of course, losing points monster Paula is gonna hurt and this week Mark is up on the chopping block -- for the first time ever?! Kenhoffy took a hit too, as Dunbar is now gone and it's down to just Robin for him. Basically if Mark and Robin lose, Challenge_fans and Kenhoffy would both be eliminated! Merideth also is at risk too, as Camila is her only player left. Basically, this Dome could determine if Matt gets to cruise into the last week or two with a win secured, or if there will be a fight at the end. There is still an outside chance that Nate could come on strong too, behind CT and Diem, who are increasingly looking like the favorites to win it all!

COMPETITION POINTS:
Win Weekly Challenge: CT, Diem
Sent to Dome: Paula, Dunbar, Mark, Robin, Johnny, Camila
Win Dome: Emily, Ty

BONUS POINTS:
Reading the Clue: Diem
Crying: Robin, Camila, Paula
Hook Up: Paula, Ty, Johnny
Hook up with Ex: Johnny
You Killed It: Emily, Ty, CT, Diem

Eliminated Players: Paula, Dunbar

Scoring Notes: Pretty straightforward this week, with the exception of Paula crying. We decided to give her the points on the strength of photo 1 and 2, which show her post-elimination wiping away her eyes -- much like Ty - and a few hard sniffle sounds. Shaky but with precedence set, we're awarding it!

Note: We added +2 to Camila for last week, see that post for why.

Week 7 Scores

STANDINGS
Matt: +7 (51)
Merideth: +3 (50)
Kenhoffy: +2 (49)
Challenge_fans: +4 (47)
Alaina: +6 (43)
Nate: +12 (36)

Here we go, Nate's big push! Will it be enough? CT and Diem racked up 12 big points this week, increasing Nate's point total by 150%. Impressive, but we'll need another few weeks of this type of performance. Matt vaults into the lead behind a strong performance by Emily, and we mean strong performance all around. We wish we could give her extra points for blackface, but alas we didn't account for that in the rules. Ken_hoffy and Challenge_fans both still have two players left with the season is far from over, and if Johnny/Camila get thrown into the Dome next week, Matt's going to be down to just one player!

COMPETITION POINTS:
Win Weekly Challenge: CT, Diem
Sent to Dome: Emily, Ty
Win Dome: none

BONUS POINTS:
Reading the Clue: Johnny
Crying: Emily, Ty, Diem
Hook Up: Paula, Ty, CT, Diem
Hook up with Ex: CT, Diem
Throw Up: Camila
Blurcle: Emily

Eliminated Players: none

Scoring Notes: The points for Ty and Diem crying could be a tad controversial. For Ty, his numerous times doing the "wipe his eyes to keep them dry" move was enough to sway our judges. As for Diem, she is clearly post-cry early on in the episode, and there are even tears hanging out by her eye as she's talking about CT to Ty. It's shaky ground but we're gonna go with "yes" on both undefcr the premise that more points is more fun!

Update [3/18]: We gave Camila +2 for her semi-puke up from the cake challenge. Not only did the big piece of cake fall out of her mouth, but she made a gagging noise afterward and then threw up a little of something afterward also. However, we did not award Camila crying points for her brief shot in the pre-two days ago scene.

Week 6 Scores

STANDINGS
Merideth: +7 (47)
Matt: +6 (44)
Challenge_fans: +7 (43)
Kenhoffy: +10 (43)
Alaina: +3 (37)
Nate: +4 (24)

Merideth takes the top spot, opening up a three point lead based on Camila and Rachel's fine performance. Of course, there's only Camila left so it's likely she's out of contention. Is the race down to Matt, Challenge_fans, and Kenhoffy? Challenge_fans lost Aneesa this week too but Paula and Ty's (gross) romance will bring in the points. Our money is on Matt as he's got male MVP Johnny, plus Emily who scares just about every female. Of course we'd love to see Nate make a thrilling comeback behind Diem and CT but a few tears isn't going to do it. They need to hook up, physical attack each other, and cry a lot -- every episode from here on out.
