Thanks Jimmer! I had no clue I could start the thread myself. I feel so enpowered!

The Allymination Game: A modest proposal The rules are taken liberally [re: stolen profusely and without shame like a plagarized 5th grader's book report on Huck Finn] from whoami's and Karen's rules, so all due credit goes to them, whom claim to have gotten it from another board, but I am suspicious, because they are humble and generous souls so they could very well be deflecting well deserved praise. So here goes: Rules 1. Choose who you predict will win Biggest Loser. That's the long shot, "first impressions" play of the game. You get that, and you get a very large megapoint jackpot bonus of 200 pts. 2. For participating/surviving, you get 5 pts. every week. 3. In addition to that, you will be asked weekly various trivia type questions of things that typically happen in the Biggest Loser Game. I'm thinking along the lines of the type of question that would make it onto a good drinking game. Like, for instance, drink every time Jillian climbs on top of a contestant, but in this trivia portion of the game, the question will be: Will Jillian jump on a contestant? yes/no (10pts). You can still drink, but no one will give you extra points for that, mister! 4. On a weekly basis, though, you will submit the name of a contestant you feel will survive the upcoming week's episode. 5. Important: You may use each contestant only ONE time for the duration of Biggest Loser 9. Ergo, your strategy may be to pick a contestant you perceive as weaker (but not "weakest"!) each week. Or your strategy may be to play it safe and pick a stronger contestant, to make sure you progress into the next week. 6. Submission must be prior to the start of the upcoming episode's first showing (i.e. Eastern Standard Time) 7. So if your contestant survives the episode, you also survive in the game. 8. If your contestant is eliminated, you are Allyminated from The Allymination Game. 9. You're also Allyminated if you forget to submit before the deadline. 10. This is cut throat competition at its finest; people will beg for mercy but none will be given! When you're gone, you're gone and all your points, your first impressions play, everything vanishes, as if you were a mere figment of imaginations!! It is a brutal worldview, I'll admit, but with such drastic and strict rulings comes the rush and adrenaline of surviving another episode, tooth and nail style, until the end comes to each of us as players in the game, all sweet and gentle, like that ray of sunshine host Alison saying, so sweetly and gently at the end of every episode, "I'm sorry, [fill in the blank] you are NOT the Biggest Loser...". Hence, 'eliminating' them from the competition, Alison Sweeney style! Note: This isn't really a rule persay, but I feel it is my }}duty to give one last dire warning. 11. The game will end either after the final episode (there "can" be ties, even for 1st, but that will be decided by the points we will be accumulating through trivia questions and the 'first impressions' megapoint jackpot) or when the last of us is Allyminated. -------------------------------------------------- So that's what I'm thinking, I hope to get a seperate folder for this, but if it is not possible I understand, I am grateful for this folder and am sure we can do it in here, too, in necessary. Here is the first set of questions for next week, if I may be so bold: 1. State who you think will be the Biggest Loser, this is a ONE TIME guess that is due BEFORE next episode. example - Michael will win the Biggest Loser 2. Give the week and the contestant you think will survive for that week, you can't use that contestant's name for the rest of the competition. example - WEEK 2: Maria 3. Answer the trivia TRIVIA: 1. Will Bob encourage a contestant to chew gum this episode? [Him making offhanded remarks or observations count, like "oh, I noticed you're chewing trident blast gum, how cool is that!"] yes/no (10 pts) 2. Will Jillian 'make' a contestant cry, or be in the presence of a contestant whilst they are crying? yes/no (15 pts) 3. During weigh ins, how many times will Alison say the word "Congratulations"? (20 pts) a) zero times, she never says that! b) once, only once... c) 2-6 times d) 7-8 times e) 9-12 times f) 13-15 times g) 16 or more times, and I don't mind! So, the format for the first entry of The Allymination Game would be: --------- Koli will win the Biggest Loser WEEK 2: Andrea TRIVIA: 1. yes 2. no 3. B

I thought my game was over when Maria decided it was better to fall off face first onto concrete versus falling off the beam into the water. Did she lose 8 pounds of blood? Is this a new strategy?

I obvously thought the same thing about Maria, was almost throwing in the towel when I was doing the summary writeup. I know there was a ton of blood but that wasn't a real impressive black eye and she hurt a finger and I'm sure she had muscle aches from being SO tense and then diving to the concrete, but she wasn't under any restrictions like those hospitalized last year and perhaps wasn't put on heavy fluids while there.
