Yes more updates right here in the BOTB bullpen and TMV still on a bid to recover from that torn ACL but what can we say guys? Looking at the early stats.... at this point we're just hoping she can pass on her knowledge. Maybe an early coaching career for the Vulcan. Tragic circumstances surround this star who was once considered a shoe-in hall of famer.

we'll keep you updated at the BOTB lunch report

I dunno I'll have to think about it. That damn survivor game took too much of my time away from school.



I promise, this won't take much of your time from school. It's not like Survivor where you have to be like on your computer for about 12 hours straight just to keep up with the challenges. Here, you can view the question, go back to school and then think about the answer until you finally come up with one and then you post it. voila!

Yay!!!! I'm soooo excited!

I'll add an additional round:

*Clincher Round: Job Interview

So in the first five rounds, the answers of the contestants will be scored, added, and totaled. Who gets the highest score should win, as we all should expect. However, there is one last round and this is the Clincher Round: Job Interview, which will make or break the contestants! 🙂

We don't want the possibility of seeing the game becoming too predictable in the sense that a leading contestant's score would be mathematically impossible to beat or surpass after the end of the 5th round. Or else, the leading contestant would rather not submit an answer to the last round because regardless of what happens, he's already the winner. That'd be too anticlimactic. @_@

So in order to prevent that from happening, the Clincher Round would not be based on scores. 😈 So what happens?

Like a job interview, the contestants would be asked to answer a secret question, which maybe anything about. They would be asked to answer as if they are in a job interview: Meaning, they'd be wearing formal clothes (dresses for women and coat and tie for men) and video themselves while answering the question. They may wear masks, wig, etc to cover themselves up but they have to be in formal clothing.

Their answers and the way they answer the question would be judged by the panelists. The panelists would then decide whether to give the award to the one who has the highest score pre-clincher round OR to give the award to the one who gave the best fecking video response to the job interview! But first, they would decide as to who gave the best video response and their decision would be announced. After the announcement, all the other contestants are now considered eliminated. The panelists are given a number of days to decide as to who should be the winner between the two. THE RESULTS WOULD BE THE CLIMAX OF EVERYTHING!

Thank you guys for expressing your willingness to participate. 🙂 I'd be updating tomorrow night November 16, 2013. Please express your reactions before we begin this competition. Thanks! 🙂



What criteria did you use to choose your panel, Virgo?

Well, as of now, there are only 3 applicants still. Obviously, I don't have any option but to choose them all.🙂 That is, if no one else would express their intention to join...

As to criteria, I haven't come up with anything yet. I would say that fairness should be there... as well as wit... plus a little knowledge in history (since history is part of the competition). Don't worry, I would be announcing my criteria for choosing the panelists as soon as the need arises. 🙂

Despite the fact I have read none of the direction or instructions. And I skipped to the end of the thread. I would like to play. 😄

**I'm prob gonna get pawned. LOL.**




I've read the whole thing, and I'm not much closer than you to understanding. 😛

Tiz, thank you for the vote of confidence, but I am a borderline simpleton. I assure you 🙂

I would like to nominate Monty-G in my stead!
