Losing 10 (or 15 points) the 1st week in order to get the best team seems like a no-brainer yes I want that scenario.

Of course none of the details matter as it's 100% luck, so it's just a matter of what iteration leads to the most fun & best sweat.

That's the thing that bothered me about Sarah's podcast. She's ranting about Bananas but even she knows that having him as a partner makes them absolutely huge favorites to win the season. She said she was done with the show and came back because of the $$ possibilities because of Bananas.

They're the best team and the second or third best team involves Bananas' beta cousin who would jump off a cliff if Bananas told him to. It's a huge advantage.

Then she goes on about how all Bananas cares about is himself, the challenge, and money. Then proceeds to talk about how her and Bananas are on the outs because she betrayed him for money reasons on the challenge. Just completely lol - can't even imagine the level of cognitive dissonance in order to justify that one. Like she's basically mocking Bananas while riding his coattails ring chasing.

the fantasizr fantasy challenge is now on mtv.com rather than its own site. looks like improved functionality and greatly expanded scoring for all the in-house shenanigans. the last couple years they only gave points for wins, eliminations, etc.

I sent him, CDL & nutshot one earlier today.

We still need 2 more people. Or if there are some that don't want to drop $100 maybe a couple of people could team up to split a team.

Here are 2 other fantasy scoring rules I found from previous seasons:

Rules (1)
Challenge: Points for winning weekly challenges (4,3,2 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd on each challenge, -1 for coming in last - as judged by scorekeeper)
Final Challenge (8, 6, 4pts for the order they finish on the Final Challenge)
Elimination: 2pts for Elimination wins
Luck of the Elimination Draw: 1 pt. for every time one of your players is randomly selected for elimination
Survival:1 pt. for each week a player survives
Bonus: TJ says "You killed it" 1pt.

Rules (2)

I think the second set of rules is way too much to ask anyone to judge. So we should probably go with what we used last season (that Jmurder quoted above), rules #1 listed above or a modified version of #2.

here's the quick cast list if you need it

This chart (the one right below that one on the Wiki page) is more useful because it actually has the teams (unless the plan is to draft individuals in case teams switch up):

In for $100 Draw

Alright one spot left.

Just listened to both Sarah and Susie Podcasts about the Challenge. Neither one really had anything insightful to say.

-Things have changed over time, cast members used to have a lot more freedom
-They really hate Johnny Bananas
-Bananas and Nany were banging all the time in the Exile House a few seasons ago
-Different cast members get a different pay scale depending on how many seasons they've done
-On an early season Susie was banging a PA and he fed her information because they were hooking up, I'd imagine this is commonplace.

Apart from that there really wasn't a whole lot that I took from it that was noteworthy or interesting.

I still can't get over Kenny in toothpaste commercials

$100 draw:

In for the draw if spot is open

Last spot goes to TJ. I'll send out payment stuff later.

I listened to a few of them. Agree not much insightful, I must have missed the Bananas/Nany thing, they kept saying Bananas cheats on his girl all the time but they never said Nany. Obviously I assumed they meant her.

I remember when they were in Exile and I brought it up ITT, seemed obvious they would be hooking up everyday in the Exile house. The two of them living there alone for like 2 weeks with nothing to do all day.

Makes sense too after the random "off camera" discussion they had when they were actually caught on camera and bananas was ****ting his pants saying he couldn't vote for her because of how it would look

$100 draw:

We still need to pick a scoring system. If anyone else has a preference lets hear it.

I assume we are going with each runner gets 2 teams and the random team that isn't picked goes to whoever has the team that is eliminated first.

Whatever you guys want.

Also should we do 400/200 for the sweat factor? Again, fine with whatever.

$100 draw:

The podcast has potential I think. It might not get better but it could just because Sarah is on the show and knows the inner-workings of strategy and all that. Not to mention knows all of the castmembers extremely well since she has done like 10 of these things.

Whenever I listen to a Challenge-related podcast it is always a little too much "DUDE WHAT'S TEEJ LIKE?" like the barstool one.

This is the hottest female cast OAT right?

Nany, Averey, Camilla, Jenna, Kellyanne, Jessica, Corey's partner, few of the other AYTO girls, Nany's cousin with makeup on.

For awhile the really hot ones would only do a few seasons of the show because they would likely get better opportunities. My guess is because of the saturation in the reality TV market that some of those opportunities are no longer available.

Nanys cousin isn't hot tho

Just saying
