    Challenge 26: Battle of the Exes II (America's Fifth Major Sport)



    Premieres next Tuesday. This time with Are You the One? cast members. Hopefully, that's a short trend. The only other show I want to see combined with this one is Jersey Shore. Of course, it gives the Real World rookies a better chance this time, I suppose.

    Full cast list this time:

    Guys:
    Adam Kuhn AYTO?: Hawaii
    Chris "CT" Tamburello RW: Paris
    Dustin Zito RW: Las Vegas (2011)
    Jay Gotti RW: Ex-Plosion
    Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio RW: Key West
    John "JJ" Jacobs AYTO?: Hawaii
    Johnny Reilly RW: Portland
    Jordan Wiseley RW: Portland
    Leroy Garrett RW: Las Vegas (2011)
    Ryan Knight RW: New Orleans (2010)
    Thomas Buell RW: Ex-Plosion
    Wes Bergmann RW: Austin
    Zach Nichols RW: San Diego (2011)

    Girls:
    Averey Tressler RW: Portland
    Brittany Baldassari AYTO?: Hawaii
    Diem Brown Fresh Meat
    Hailey Chivers RW: Ex-Plosion
    Jemmye Carroll RW: New Orleans (2010)
    Jenna Compono RW: Ex-Plosion
    Jessica McCain RW: Portland
    Jonna Mannion RW: Cancun
    Nany González RW: Las Vegas (2011)
    Nia Moore RW: Portland
    Sarah Rice RW: Brooklyn
    Simone Kelly AYTO?: Hawaii
    Theresa González Fresh Meat II

    Fantasy Stuff:
    Spoiler: show

    For Fantasy players, Fantasizr supports this game, but it still leaves out all of the fun rules, and doesn't include CT or Diem on their draft board. The guy who did the scoring last time didn't finish the job, and they're not sure if he's doing it again.

    So unless someone has a better idea, I will do the scoring each week. Or at least I'm going to start out doing the scoring, we'll see how it goes. It's unlikely to go up every Wednesday night, but it will be done within a couple of days. I'll e-mail out the spreadsheets too, so you guys can double-check my scoring.

    If there's a discrepancy or disagreement, we'll appeal to Fantasizr scoring. If it doesn't cover it (i.e. the "fun rules"), I'll solicit a second opinion from...I don't know. Somewhere. Maybe Survivor Sucks.

    We need to draft in the next couple of days. I have set up a custom league in Fantasizr that allows me to include CT and Diem. I'm assuming Moss and Headspace are in; if someone else wants in, PM me your e-mail address, and plan on being online Monday night, probably around 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific. You can set up to Autodraft with pre-rankings if you like. We can use this for the draft, but I'm going to manually score using the spreadsheet I used last time.

    Here's our scoring system. Since I'm doing this myself this time, I adapted a few things, and added in some clarifications on the Exile thing. I may have to adjust them after the first episode once we figure out exactly how it works.

    Spoiler: show

    Final Results:
    1st: 100
    2nd: 50
    3rd: 25
    4th: 10 (only if participating in the final)

    Other Challenge Related Stuff:
    Win a challenge: 10
    Win an elimination: 15
    Come back from Exile Island : 25
    TJ says "You killed it": 20
    Making TJ disgusted by your performance: -20
    Threatening to throw a challenge: -5
    Following through throwing a challenge (cumulative with threatening): -10
    Survive each episode: 5

    Coitus Related Stuff:
    Unintentional nudity (blurry lines): 5
    Intentional nudity (blurry lines): 10
    Kissing: 5
    Coitus: 20
    Same sex Kissing: 10
    Same sex Coitus: 40
    Threesome: 50 for each majority gender participant, 75 for minority gender participant
    Pregnant: 100

    Fighting Stuff
    Getting kicked out of the house due to bad behavior: 100
    Getting kicked out of the house because your partner gets kicked out: 10
    Quit/leave the house for any reason other than extreme personal matter (see Naomi): -25
    Having a producer/security discuss your behavior with you: 20
    Verbal fighting (once per ep): 5
    Physical fighting with another person (once per ep): 15
    Physically fighting or damaging an inanimate object (once per ep): 10
    Female crying: 5
    Male crying: 10

    Misc Stuff
    Being hauled off in an ambulance: 10
    Attempted cannibalism: 100
    Claiming to be in the best shape of your life: 10
    Mentioning Johnny Bananas' bobblehead 5

    Somber Note: Diem leaving the show counts as an Extreme Personal Matter. Assuming CT leaves the show at the same time, he will also not lose any points.

    If there is an aired "Shit They Should Have Shown" show, that will count in scoring. The reunion episode will not.

    Since I am doing this scoring manually, I will allow trades up until the show that airs immediately before the final. As with other fantasy sports, scoring will not be retroactive, and will only start scoring the week immediately after the trade. No trades on Tuesdays between noon and midnight Pacific time. Players already eliminated are not able to be traded. Players still on Exile Island are available to be traded.


    26 draftable players this time. 5 participant max, I think. If you want in, but weren't in last time, send me a PM.

    Let me know if we need anything changed prior to the draft.



    Cue Qalbert with the no1curr gif.

    Instead of having a few teams with more/less players than the others, can we just leave remaining players undrafted after we reach the highest common denominator or w/e?

    yeah it ends the draft before teams get lopsided. we just need to figure out how to split the leagues since there is so much interest

    We're up to 7 people who want in. I think we should divide into two groups. I can score both and send out the spreadsheets, but would need someone else to set up the second league on Fantasizr. One option would be to have a relegation league between seasons, or two entirely separate leagues, or if we had an odd number, we could actually probably all "compete" together, but each player would end up on two teams. Not sure that matters much, really.

    Drop the last 2 who expressed interest, lol. 2 leagues/groups sounds complicated and diluted. 5 participants max, 5 players each, 1 undrafted player. That's my vote anyway.

    I'm fine with one big league. The Challenge has always been a sport of inclusion.

    Wonder how they are gonna treat the Diem situation. Didn't she start on the show, left for illness, and died while the show was still filming? Or maybe it was finished filming before she passed.

    Starting at 6:30pm Pacific / 9:30pm Eastern tonight. If you're there late, we might go without you, so set up your auto-draft.

    You should have a link in your e-mail which you can go to in order to sign up.

    Since Tyven graciously bowed out, we'll each draft four players, and Tyven can take Qalbert's place of having the last two and rooting for a Devyn-like performance.

    Diem left mid-show when she got ill. She'll presumably be on the show, and leave at some point. I don't know how far in that was; I'm sure if you sniff around enough you can find internet spoilers. I assume CT will leave, too, unless they something funny happens. I'll score them both normally, and I won't be docking them any points when they leave.

    Alternatively, we could just choose not to draft CT and Diem if people would prefer.

    A Diem and Knight stack would be an instant win.

    Leave them optional. CT can really rack up some points even before leaving.
