[Xno Kappa]

Yeah just picked up Leroy. Again, my bad. Anything past 11ish on weekdays I tend to go to nappy noonoo ville cuz I gotta wake up at 3:30.

[Valisk]

Selected my 2. Back on you Xno.

[Xno Kappa]

Grabbed Aneesa. Next up.

[Byrd]

My picks are made - Nany and Camila. Xno is up again.

[Xno Kappa]

Grabbed Jenna. Not a fan of this draft order lol, but i guess what else can you do with 3.

[Valisk]

Sorry, my browser didn't refresh automatically.

[Xno Kappa]

Rough draft this year. On top of all the newcomers, having shitty luck with the favorites. Next up.

Yup. I have never seen 2/3 of the cast before, since I don't watch Real World or Are You the One, and everyone comes with someone new.

Good job picking up on Bananas' cousin, Valisk. A D1 football player who spent time with the Lions and is partnered with the most successful cast member in show history? He'll probably do OK.

[Xno Kappa]

Yeah, Bananas' cousin was going to be my first new contestant pick. Dude should produce.

[Valisk]

Wtf Byrd, you do a background check on him? Haha. I had no idea, just knew he was paired with Bananas who would have been my first pick if he wasn't off the board.

[Xno Kappa]

i'm gonna get murdered this year if leroy and aneesa don't produce lol. picking on drama potential at this point.

No, it was in the 30-minute preview on MTV. My DVR picked it up a week or two ago on auto-record, and I watched it last night while waiting for the draft.

Once the draft is done, I will post rules for Headspace, Moss, or Tyven drafting from our scrubs, and they can just post who they want here, assuming it's before 7pm PST / 10 pm EST.

Ah ok. I haven't watched anything but the trailer.

Also, as some alternatives if the other 3 don't show/don't join in time:

1) Proceed with us 3 and our 10 characters each.

2) Assign Heady, Moss, and Ty a counterpart (Byrd, Val, Xno) and have our bottom 15 selections be theirs. (i.e. Moss is "assigned" to me so my last 5 selections are his team; top 5 are mine)

[Xno Kappa]

I have a strong feeling shane raines is going to be the next angry gay dude after Frank. Dark horse pick of the season.

[Byrd]

2) Assign Heady, Moss, and Ty a counterpart (Byrd, Val, Xno) and have our bottom 15 selections be theirs. (i.e. Moss is "assigned" to me so my last 5 selections are his team; top 5 are mine)

This seems a lot simpler than what I was thinking. The first one in can pick his favorite group of 5. Second one gets the next group, and whoever doesn't show gets the last group.

Byrd's Scrubs: Cohutta, Candice, Stephen, Thomas, Emily
Valisk's Rejects: Tony, Cory, Jill, Raphy, Mitch
Xno'x Benchwarmers: Christina, Rianna, Jamie, Brianna, Shane

So whichever of Moss, Headspace or Tyven shows up first can pick one of the three teams above for their own, second gets second pick, and whoever forgets to show up at all gets whatever is left. If nobody shows up, we'll just assign by alphabetical order of user name, which is sufficiently random for these purposes (i.e. Byrd - Headspace; Valisk - Moss; Xno - Tyven).

Does this work?

[Valisk]

Just FYI, these were the last 15 selections:

Tony Raines
Christina LeBlanc
Cohutta Grindstaff
Candice Fowler
Rianna Polin
Cory Wharton
Jill Tuttle
Jamie Banks
Stephen Buell
Thomas Buell
Brianna Julig
Raphy Medrano
Mitch Reid
Shane Raines
Emily Reese

So whichever of Moss, Headspace or Tyven shows up first can pick his team of 5 from above, second gets second pick, and whoever forgets to show up at all gets whatever is left. If nobody shows up, we'll just assign by alphabetical order of user name, which is sufficiently random for these purposes.

Does this work?

Yup. Perfect.
