    Challenge 33: War of the Worlds



    This starts next Wednesday, it snuck up on me a little bit.

    Who's in for fantasy? We need to get that started right away if we're going to do it.

    I'm also OK not to do it if we don't want to...

    I was thinking of this show the other day because Lolo Jones is on Celebrity Big Brother and is either completely batshit or has this incredible ability to drive everyone around her crazy. Maybe both.

    If people are interested in doing this, I'm in.

    I'm OK with doing it again, just didn't have my heart set on it. With 3 of us in, I'll shoot out an e-mail.

    At some point, I should probably finalize the scoring from last season. I realized there was a problem with the spreadsheet and how I was adjusting for Free Agent pick ups, and needed to review in depth.

    All right, we've got five of us.

    Byrd (R=0)
    Headspace (R=1)
    Moss (R=2)
    Vil (R=3)
    Xno Kappa (R=4)

    The first NBA game tonight is the Wizards-Cavs.
    First pick will be chosen by the winner's score, divide by 5, calculate the remainder. Reallocate order from 0-3.
    Second pick will be chosen by loser's score, divide by 4, calculate the remainder. Reallocate order from 0-2.
    Third pick will be winner's score of Bucks-Pistons, divide by 3, calculate the remainder. Reallocate from 0-1.
    Fourth pick will be loser's score of Bucks-Pistons, calculate the remainder.
    Last person gets 5th pick.
    There are 34 players in the draft, so each person will get 6 players.
    We have one week to get this draft in, and it will start as soon as someone gets the first pick and makes the pick.

    Complete roster can be found here. Basic format is teams of 2, one challenge vet paired up with one non-challenge vet.

    Man, CT needs to just retire already.

    Gimme Wes. Darrell, Derrick, and Brad all eased back into the challenge after big breaks since their previous showings. Wes has a cast with 50% rookies to help him get back into the swing of things.

    Vil is up.
    Then Moss.
    Then Headspace twice.
    Then Moss again.

    There was apparently a "Basic Training" episode last night which introduces some of the Fresh Meat.

    I'm watching it now on MTV.com here.

    Amazed that he's available this late considering he's a decent enough competitor, will fuck anything that moves, and has tremendous drama potential with Team Byrd.

    Just finished watching last night's Basic Training episode, and is well worth the watch. You get to know each of the newbies a little bit, and the season looks very grueling. I'm loving the Mad Max vibe.
