Well, I have such a bad track record so far...

I'll say Whitlow gets ousted and takes Wolf with her.

My original pick (sight unseen) to win was Moretty (female). Let's see a Moretti-Moretty match for the gauntlet!

I'm confused, is Boot Camp on tonight, or tomorrow? Is today Tuesday? Maybe that rainwater leaked into my skull....

Okay, no problem. Thought it was just me! And I know they've varied the night before, just to add to the confusion.

I pick Wolf and Morrieti (girl). Wolf has got to go....

Everyone who gets to watch Boot Camp the earliest, join in #tvclubchat. Let's talk about what's going on as it happens. I guess that would be the Central and Eastern time zoners.

That's 8PM Central for me.

<play Pac-Man death sound here>

Man, did I pick the two wrong people this week. What a twist!

Ok, since I think Wolf will win, I will pick Whitlow for the WIN. lol!

Whitlow

I think the only way Wolf will win is if he takes ALL the physical challenges. I don't see him getting the needed votes.

In any case, we ended up with the two strongest recruits in the gauntlet (of the ones who were left, anyway). It should be interesting.

I'll take Whitlow.. but the teasers sound like the each got a tongue lashing from the "jury" :)

I say Whitlow because....

She's a woman
I really don't like Wolf

and.. I have to choose one of them...

I'm falling behind on the scores. But I don't know how many points I should give for the final pick. I should decide before I total the scores so far.

What do you think if you get 20 points for the final pick.

Or maybe we can get bonus points for how many votes they get. Hard to decide since we've never seen the show before.

Grooch, do I get any bonus points for getting at least one person correct in every one of the shows?!

Did you (or anyone else) get a feel if they can win based solely how they do on the gauntlet?? Say for instance, one of them wins all 7--would they win the 500K, or is the vote all that matters??

I'd go for 15 for getting the final pick---something more than the 10 pints for first pick on a regular show, yet less than double for a 50:50 chance.

Here is a way to get 35 points--have everyone say who wins each of the 7 portions of the gauntlet. The problem with that is that we won't know what the 7 consist of and in what order, so it's a pure crap shoot. Takes away any idea of educated guessing and makes it pure guessing.

It does provide for another way to play KOTH though.

From the official boot camp website:

Jackson is working at HBO sports in NY.
Brown's acting career is starting to take off.

From The Rules section:
In the end, the final (2) recruits compete in "THE GAUNTLET", a grueling 48 hour non-stop competition. Each event in "THE GAUNTLET", is named after a dismissed recruit. The events are based on physical, mental, and endurance tests. Dog tags are awarded to the winner of each gauntlet event. But the final two must also earn the dog tags of the last (6) six discharged recruits who form a final military tribunal. At the last Dismissal Hill Ceremony the (6) six discharged recruits individually pledge their dog tags to the most deserving recruit.
The Grand prize ($500,000) is awarded to the recruit with the most dog tags at the end.

Thanks Kar, well if thats the case then I think Wolf will win the gauntlet events, but then it comes down to who we think will pick which recruit to give their dogs tags to.

I think the guys will stick with the guys, and the Women will do the same, but Brown I think will be a wild card since she knows Whitlow was trying to boot her out.

And Meyer is a wild card to because he and Wolf didn't get along. So I'm going to pick Whitlow for the win, but Wolf could pull it off I think.

Thanks, Kar, but what happens if it is a tie? (I'm assuming there are 6 gauntlet events.)

Actually, I just posted the above verbatim, because I couldn't really follow it myself! I was hoping one of the bright folks here could figure it out. :)

First, I'm confused about which *six* recruits they consider discharged? I think they called the ones who were voted off *dismissed*, and the ones who were selected to go along *discharged*. They use both words in the above description. They say the gauntlet events are named after *dismissed* recruits, but the dog tags come from the *discharged* recruits? And they can't have everyone back, right? Because that would be more than six? But as I recall, they didn't have six *discharged* recruits, because some weeks folks went either on their own, or because if illness.

On the video at the end of last week's show, I thought they said something about have to take all six of *either* the gauntlet or the votes to win.

It does sound like there are only 6 gauntlet events, Grooch. And I don't know what they'll do if there is a tie. The above is all the info they had at the official site.

Okay, my head hurts now...
