Shit. Might be a reach but give me Logan Sampedro, and Michela should be good for one or two shout matches before she’s out.

I like Xno's strategy of drafting all the self-proclaimed introverts. (There's a short clip on mtv.com where rookies get to say like 2-3 things about themselves and Michaela said the "I" word.)

Well, shit, those were the two people I was also considering instead of Bettina. I'll take the Dutch/Turkish Sex Therapist/Model, Renan.

Headspace up again.

I guess Esther is a Nigerian lawyer. That seems interesting, so I'll pick her.

Xno Kappa is up with his last two picks.

**Xno Kappa** · 2021-08-08 16:25

Lemme get Jeremiah and Lauren.

**Byrd** · 2021-08-08 16:31

To complete my team, I will take Priscilla.

Headspace is up, he can choose between Corey, Hughey and Tracy.

We're going to have both a Cory and a Corey on this season. Hopefully people will figure out which one is which.

I don't know if/when there's been a male-male hookup on The Challenge, but I'm going to laugh if something happens between the last two picks in our draft.

There's an hour special Monday night which is likely the rookie introduction/move-in type stuff. Guessing this is like WOTW, especially since they emphasized 17 US/17 International in one of the trailers.

A few seasons ago, we talked about changing the bonus points rules from opposite sex / same sex to primary orientation / opposite orientation, but I can't remember if we came to any conclusions. For example - Kaycee - an out lesbian - should get more points for hooking up with a guy than with a girl. Whereas Nany - who isn't traditionally gay - might get same sex bonus points. Although maybe she is openly bi?

Some people that are openly bisexual (Melissa? Frank Sweeney?) might be hard to quantify as such, as well.

I suppose I should have brought that up before the draft, but opening it up for thoughts.

**Vil** · 2021-08-09 13:09

That's a good point about Kaycee. If she were to hook up with a guy, that'd be a pretty big deal. At the same time, when we take a season of 30-ish, people looking for opposite-sex pairings will usually have somewhere in the range of 10-12 options (factoring in those that are in relationships/not seeking/etc.) Same-sex pairings, there's like 1-2 options max, so the odds are really stacked one way. Unless they do some meaningful shift in the #s, I think the scoring is fine how it is.

**Moss** · 2021-08-09 13:11

Yeah I'm fine with leaving it as is
