Cinder | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 08:01 am     I just tried to change my team for tonight and it is still in "blackout" If it really is endurance it won't really matter- because we will know who wins- but if not I need to try to guess who will win HOH. |
Cinder | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 09:00 am     OK- was able to make the changes- but there were not many I could make. Nathan and Jack cannot be picked (not sure I would want to since the voting it up in the air) That left only two people I could switch around- so I just switched Justin since he cannot win HOH- and I doubt he will cry. (I hope he doesn't eat an orange). |
Lucky_Longhorn | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 09:29 am     Has anyone had trouble getting to the CBS pages. I have been trying for several days to change my team but it appears that CSB web pages are down. I had Justin and Robert on my team. |
Cinder | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:24 pm     Sorry Lucky- I have not had any problems. Lujie is still in the top 25 I see. One year I will win a cap. |
Chief1 | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 12:30 pm     No problems here either (that is with the website), but am not always making good choices to gain the most points. I started late, but would like to make the top 100 at least. Any suggestions? |
Cinder | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 12:45 pm     At this point Chief- I think there is little chance to gain any advantage. (The following is me analyzing- I know you know how the game works) There are only 7 HGs left. You can only choose 4 out of 5 who are not nominated. Next week I think everyone (who watches live feeds) will have the same picks and therefore earn the same points. UGH. Next year I will play with strategy and not emotion. I have learned if I know someone cried- there is a chance of it being aired- so I should try to have them on my picks. People who whisper get alot of points. |
Lujie | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 11:38 pm     Hey guys! Yep, Cinder -- hanging in at #22 -- now if only I hadn't gone on vacation! lol But can't complain, I've never done this well on any fantasy league. |
Lujie | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 09:31 pm     So what did I learn tonight? Pay attention when making trades!! I was going back and forth between Jack and Jee on who to keep before it was locked out for tonights show. On accident I clicked on Jun instead of Jack to trade for Jee and didn't realize my mistake until I checked tonight to see the standings. I dropped to 53rd!! |
Cinder | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 07:37 am     AAACCKK. Thats alot to drop. Yep- Jun cried. Jack never gets points- poor guy. I was wishing I could have had Robert- without the nomination penalty. At least you will get a hat- unless you drop another 47 places. I don't think there is a chance of that happening unless you forget to trade the nominees by Friday. I jsut traded Erika for Jack in case he gets HOH. I don't think the twist will be that she can compete- so I am better off with Jack than Erika- but I will trade back as soon as I can (unless Erika gets nominated) |
Lujie | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 10:00 am     Thanks for the reminder Cinder -- I just traded Erika for Jack -- made sure I clicked on the right one this time!! |
Cinder | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 05:43 am     I was going to say sorry Lujie- you may have gotten more points with Erika- because she cried- but I see I did not get points for Alison crying. Also- they awarded Alison the points for HOH instead of Jee. I forgot to check what # you were. OK- Erika got 44 points and Jack only got 20. I'm sorry. Erika got points for crying- but Alison didn't. Alison cried first- unless they are counting a different time for Erika crying. I had to hope Jack MIGHT win HOH- but I didn't wote for him in Ice's game. |
Lujie | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:02 am     I moved up to 42nd. Actually, Erika got 5 points -- the other 39 were from Tuesdays show. Jack got 10 last night. They still haven't fixed the HOH points, but it won't make a difference since I had Jee on my team as well. |
Cinder | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:13 am     Oh good Lujie. I didn't see your name- but couldn't understand how you would have been knocked off completely. |
Lujie | Saturday, August 23, 2003 - 09:32 pm     Well, I'm toast. The high points were Allison (47), Jun (40), Erika (40), Jack (25). But I had Jee (10) and Robert (5) instead of Erika/Jack because I assumed they would show nominations--which still would have been more points but I would have been stuck with them until after eviction. I dropped to 79th! |
Cyberjoecool | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:29 am     I did the same thing Lujie and fell from 86 to clear off the board. I'm eleven points away from the person in the 100th position. oh well |
Cinder | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 12:33 pm     Yeah- from now on I assume all will have the same picks. Next week we will HAVE to keep a nominee- but we must determine which nominee will stay. Lujie- you may stay at 79th. Cyberjocool- maybe 11 people will pick the wrong nominee. As for me- I only have 1497 points- there has never been any hope since the first week- but I am learning more each week how to earn an advantage. I am sure there will be anext year. |
Cinder | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 04:03 am     It won't let me trade Robert for Erika. I think Erika is still locked as a nominee. Erika will earn more points. I know it is more important that I am able to trade by Tuesday. Or I may want to trade Jee- not sure who they will really vote out at this point. |
Lujie | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:01 am     I tried to trade for Erika as well. I also noticed that there are missing points. Jun was captioned twice Wednesday but wasn't awarded points. |
Theowl | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 08:25 am     I couldn't trade last week either, but today I could, so if you want to trade a player, do it soon. Also, I still can't get into any of the stats pages. Is anyone else having that problem? I keep track of all the catagories during the show, and there are alot of things they don't see that I do. Like the towel and games don't get counted hardly at all. It's probably fixed too, but it's still fun.  |
Cinder | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:27 am     I was able to trade FOR Erika finally on Friday. You are right Owl- there are things they don't catch. We have to be careful who we pick though Either way- IF Jun nominates Ali- and then Ali takes herself out- we will have to pick- Ali and another nominee- and will lose 20 points. |
Lujie | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:35 am     Well I'm off the leader board. I was never able to trade for Erika so I didn't get her 38 points. I would have been in 52nd place. |
Cinder | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 04:55 pm     I knew I should have left a message here when I was finally able to trade. I am just trying to stay on practice so next year I can be on the leaderboard. Wow- not on the top 100- but one player would have gotten you to number 52. Note to self- the girls always earn more points. |
Bgood | Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - 03:53 pm     I have 2396 points and did not make the leaderboard. I don't know if I will get points for the last show tonight. Anyone here make the top 100 ? |
Cyberjoecool | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:53 pm     yes, I made it |
Jmm | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:59 pm     Nope, I didn't make it either, only had 2433 points. Great job Cyberjoecool. |
