you were pretty spot on.

For the premiere, we all knew that Gillian and Michelle were vulnerable. I figured I'd give them both "gets voted out" just in case ... and then they BOTH got booted! Pure luck!

I messed up this week because I ignored my gut about the vid caps. Randy was at the goal, and even though he doesn't seem all that heroic and Marcus/Matty do, it was Randy (vid cap evidence) that was in the position to make a goal....

That was just me.

That wasn't really "just" - you were pretty spot on.

They handed out 55 points for your "Question of the Week"

Me? Seriously? That wasn't even my best question! (The odd-toed mammal was way better.) I'm going to have a crazy lot of points for last week, considering I didn't have the faintest dang idea what actually was going to occur.

Think fast: Who is buried in...

" I noticed that in the second week of fantasy all (or most) of the members of the number one team, .....seems as if some of them submit the same answers individually. " That was just me. A few people on my team couldn't post from work or were on vacation, so I made their picks for them . That's all over now. I really blew my answers this week. I should have gone with my first instincts but changed my picks about 5 min before the game closed. Dumb me!!! Good luck Messers!

Yeah, they're really handing out points this week, especially to folks who've paid the faintest attention to spoilers.

Notice the scoring here:

Via the forum at fantasysurvivor.com this week the following option is being offered as one of you choices:

Nine minus their pedestal number". The result of this will be the number that is multiplied by the 5 points assigned to the choice.

To avoid any potential confusion we wanted to post this note to explain how the scoring will work.

Basically, the previews for this episode of Survivor...

MT it doesn't count against us. The scoring is weekly depending on who is on the tribe. It only hurts your individual score. PM for the password if you want it.

The questions are up....(what's the answer birdlady ;) )

Grrrrr. By the time I got my questions ready and got through the registration process, the thread was locked.

I'm guessing that missing the first two episodes puts me out of the running to play this season? No biggie if I can't get in.

MESSGut, the concensus pick is at the top...once again the sum is greater than the parts. That's why we discuss it.

Appropos of that, I noticed that in the second week of fantasy all (or most) of the members of the number one team, Pack of vaGABONds, are also number one in their individual scores. It seems as if some of them submit the same answers individually. Is there any benefit in Messy Gabon doing that? I don't recall MESS Gut being at the top...

Messy Gabon is still in solid third place. Yay us!

And clearly there is something wrong with the planetary alignment because my overall score has me placed higher than Trix or Birdlady. I feel so exposed....

You supposedly have to have an account on their discussion board and post them there. (Not sure why he wants more people equipped to complain at the click of a mouse.) If someone really doesn't want to do that, I could ask if I could just submit them, identified by name, for the whole team.

25 points is 25 points...

How do you submit the question? Does it say in that locked forum? I didn't see how to submit it.

25 bonus points for submitting a question, no matter how stupid. (Per the rules. Per actual scoring, who knows.)

Questions are up for this week.

They're starting a deal where you can get points for submitting questions. So we've done plenty of complaining about poorly framed questions (Eg "What was thinking about on day 2?"), so we really ought to pitch in with some good ones.

Kia orana! Another season, another MUMP.

Sometimes stuff just doesn't quite fit right in our other MESSy threads. When you have something to talk about but it's out of place elsewhere, drop by the MUMP and enjoy yourself. Don't get too Off Topic, though. We have other forums on this board perfect for that.

This is the place to talk about the MESS fantasy teams. We also gather here after the show to give Rose questions to ask the latest boot. Various and sundry...
