Yes, sorry for the late update -- you won 16 to 8 by my count -- I will update the grid later. You will need to vote someone off your team by Friday at 7pm.

But this the secret backfire contest! I tricked each and every one of you! Muhahahahaa!!!

On second thought, lets just do the normal way. The Alumni need to cast their votes. :)

And the voting window has closed. Let's go read the votes. First up, a vote for FrankDrebin. Second vote is another vote for Frank. Third vote in is for America. This is 2-1 territory we have entered. Next vote in the ballot box is... FrankDrebin. That makes it 3-1 with four votes left. Next vote is also for Frank. Since ties go to the first vote, this clinches FrankDrebin's elimination in the game. There was just one more vote that was cast, and that was for America, so Frank exits on a 4-2 vote. Frank didn't vote again, but he's gone so who cares. America also failed to vote for the second time and picks up another strike, one away from being eliminated.

Next challenge to be posted shortly. Stay tuned!

Bulletin, bulletin... we have a bulletin. EVERYONE will get to participate in a piece of this contest -- read on for more info.

Let's do a little fantasy football action. You will draft from this list 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 3 WRs, and 1 TE. You will get 1 point for every 10 yards rushing or recieving, and 1 point for every 30 yards passing. TDs score 6 rushing and receiving, and 3.5 passing. You have $40 dollars and must make a team from the below options.

QBs: $6 Brady (NE), Goff (LAR), Luck (IND), Cousins (MIN), Mahomes (KC), Newton (CAR)
$5 (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky (CHI), Flacco (BAL), Brees (NO), Bortles (JAX)
$4 Osweiler (MIA), Beathard (SF), Darnold (NYJ)
$3 Keenum (DEN), Smith (WAS), Prescott (DAL)

RBs: $6 Gurley (LAR), Elliott (DAL)
$5 Kamara (NO), Cohen (CHI), Hunt (KC), Mixon (CIN)
$4 McCaffrey (CAR), Collins (BAL), Peterson (WAS)
$3 Howard (CHI), Barber (TB), K.Johnson (DET), Mack (IND)
$2 Gore (MIA), Drake (MIA), Powell (NYJ), J.White (NE)

WRs: $6 Green (CIN), Hill (KC), Thielen (MIN)
$5 Cooks (LAR), Evans (TB), Landry (CLE), Tate (DET)
$4 Woods (LAR), Boyd (CIN), Hopkins (HOU), Diggs (MIN)
$3 Robinson (CHI), Golladay (DET), Jeffery (PHI), Funchess (CAR)
$2 Amendola (MIA), Edelman (NE), Gabriel (CHI), Cole (JAX), Gordon (NE)

TEs: $6 Kelce (KC)
$5 Ertz (PHI), Ebron (IND), Gronkowski (NE)
$4 Kittle (SF), Olsen (CAR), Reed (WAS)
$3 Engram (NYG), Uzomah (CIN), Burton (CHI)
$2 O'Shaughnessy (JAX), Brate (TB), Watson (NO)

Only the captain is responsible for forming the team and sending it in. You don't have to use all $40 dollars and I will convert your left over dollars to automatic points. For individuals, you have a chance to contribute. Send in a NFL team that will win a game on Sunday afternoon/evening -- don't pick the London game and don't pick the MNF game. For every pick you get right, you will get a bonus 3 point FG -- the only rule is that each pick has to be unique. If more than one player on a Survivor team picks the same NFL team, those picks will be ineligible to get points (but the player will not get a strike.) Team Captains may also submit a NFL team. All entries are due by 10:30 AM on Sunday.

The Gerbils got off the losing streak last week and they get the advantage this week:
Extra Money: You will draft with $43 instead of $40. A little extra money might help you get a slightly better player.
Extra Production: Pick one of your RBs and one of your WRs. Any TDs scored by them get you 8 points instead of the standard 6.
Extra Points: Make it simple and take 5.5 points to add to your total.

Tiebreaker 1: Winner of Everton v Crystal Palace (you can pick tie also)
Tiebreaker 2: Total goals scored in Atlanta United FC v Chicago Fire
Tiebreaker 3: Total points in Patriots v Bears game

$40 -- fixed the typo. 0.5 bonus points to you for finding it!

Just to annoy the participants, there are multiple unclaimed idols and at the same time there has been at least one idol claimed.

Here are the picks -- the Gerbils did not opt to use their bonus power; perhaps that will be appealing to the MegaMillions gods. America did not submit a pick and has earned his third strike and is therefore eliminated from contention.

Don't give up hope -- your WRs could carry the day.

We got this.

Now all we need is Hill, Kelce and Mixon to light it up and since IGA already lost America today that would be two in one contest.
