Masterchef Season 7 Draft - Page 3 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

found ep1 whee!

huh...didn't realize this was a Gordon show! I like him a lot but hate what americans do to his shows...usually too overproduced.
(looking at you hell's kitchen)

Going to rand a 1-5 sequence, then post the sequence, and if that post is even the sequence is taken from top down, if it is odd it is taken from bottom up.

Think later drafters have the advantage in this format/show

I don't think it will be clear after tonight's episode who the 'frontrunners' are so think team Vruuuk and housenuts get kinda shafted

Let's also nail down the points. I had, from OP:

Quote:

Winning a mystery box challenge: 30 pts
Winning a team challenge: 10 pts
Winning an elimination challenge: 15 pts
Runner up elimination challenge: 5 pts
Surviving a pressure test: 5 pts
MC winner: 50 pts
MC runner up: 20 pts

Changed "week" to "pressure test"

So on even weeks:
-30 pts handed out to MB winner
-another 20 pts handed out to EC winners

Odd weeks:
-90 points being handed out on week 1, 20 pts less every other week.
-~50 pts being handed out to pressure test survivors, being 5 pts less every other week

I think these look fine, with one flaw being on odd weeks as we get farther and farther into the season, less points are being awarded, which makes it harder to "catch up"

any thoughts?

I know who I'd pick from ep 1, but gotta wait to see ep 2 ppl.

I'm happy with any scoring system you want stuck. I've never watched the show, save for ep 1.

We wanted Manny and we were never getting him as a #10 pick.
You're just jealous

Not really, from what I remember he's not a contender

He may certainly grind you a lot of points, and he's fun to watch, so probably a fine pick - just lolling that you literally have nothing to lose by waiting until the next ep airs

We are intimidating our competition by showing you guys our fearless and yolo we are capable of being, just like Manny.

But yeah, based on previous winners stats, he has about 3.50% equity.
