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

TC, I "played along at home" with my numbers and I think you underscored me. The numbers are right, but mine adds up to 82 and not the 79 you have. Some people might say "Beach, shut up and be happy you got 3 less points," but that angel on my left shoulder is needling me to 'fess up. Thanks TC!!

 Suspiciously, I'm not even affiliated with myself!


As for the guesses, I just picked the same percentage loss for everyone, rounded the numbers up and made sure not to have the same number more than twice.

Question: Am I missing something in the scoring or did something get messed up when you flipped the chart?
When I add up the numbers, I actually get 84 for my score and 82 for Beachcomber. It doesn't seem like any of the columns add up to the totals I see in the chart.

I hate to give the lead to Beachcomber after just barely fending her off in the Fantasy Football Pick 3 game by 2 points!

Thank you Beachcomber and Bob2112 for being dilligent and honorable.



I am ashamed of myself and apologize not only to both of you, but to everyone.

I was a bit overwhelmed when they threw us all for a loop when they kicked out the 2 teams, so when scoring I ended up deleting their rows from the spreadsheet, but when I was correcting it, I didn't add back those rows in the totals area, whereas they automatically updated the rows in the spreadsheet. So all of the number totals are wrong, but at least they are all wrong equally??

Once again, I apologize. I will double and triple check my numbers in the future. You guys deserve better because you are honest and tough competitors.

Thanks for being supportive and kindhearted about it, too, it means alot to me when you guys help me out and aren't angry about it. Now as for Bob2112, I have to strip away your title of Smallest Winner for the week. I am sorry. I am also sorry about the accusations of collusion, and being a member of NBC productions or Biggest Loser Inc. or even thinking you were Bob Harper himself, I can see clearly now that you are Thee Spongebob SquarePants himself!! , I bow down at your awesome fairness. and Beachcomber, dearest Beachcomber, you are a truly a sweetheart for being so understanding.

oh, and Beachcomber, you are also the Smallest Winner for the week! Congratulations!!

Here are the corrected numbers.

Aww TC, you don't need to apologize for a little spreadsheet booboo. I'm so in awe (and thankful) that you have created and host this fabulous and complex game!

Umm, could I take my 2 point lead over that unbeatable Bob and trade that over to my score at the Fantasy NFL game so I could at least tie him?

I've triple checked the numbers and hope everything is alright.

Everyone seems to have Sam's and Sherry's #'s down, many a bullseye this week! Speaking of bullseye, Spongebob, your intricate and mystical mathematical formulae/computations have once again won the day.

Congratulations, you are the Smallest Winner of the week at a mere 15 points, tying your record of 4 bullseyes and also racking up five 1's and four 2's! You do know there is no cash prize involved with this game, do you kind SpongeBob??? I do have this nifty emoticon that I will award you with:

As for the vs. challenge, it seems as though those trricky wabbits have won the day, 320 to 341, unseeding the fowl friends for this week! When a team wins, I will post a cute pic as congratulations, so here is your white rabbit picture, hope you enjoy!



Can I get some feedback? Would you guys like me to continue running score of this rivalry birds vs. bunnies or should I shelve it? Is it at all interesting or is tearing friendships asunder?

Well, here are the numbers:




and here is the winning team for the week:
