One reason why I picked you is to see who would man up and go head to head with you given your track record

I mean the thing I’m against is a literal coin flip unless someone gets to pick the dweeb throwing

Well done.

Not the worst statistical play, you have a 50% chance of advancing instead of a 4/7 or 3/6 chance. And you don’t have to worry about your picks or alliances and can watch the game in peace (other than the halftime show)

Well done Sic’em...you’ll probably fare better than the rest of us. I was going to jump on it this morning if nobody else has. I’ve never made it this deep in the season so time to go all in.

Sucks to suck, but I sucked this week and my death was all but guaranteed.

Thanks Jeff for another great year and once again I am eliminated at the final 10.

Have fun guys and go dawgs!

I really wanted to volunteer, but based on years' past the death-off would probably be something like picking "left or right" dr. pepper can thrower which is leaving things too up to chance for my liking. At least with the game picks, even if your odds of winning are lower, you've got your fate in your own hands.

Yeah, I get that. But Jeff is pretty fair, if nothing else. I have to believe he's going to be creative with it. But as said earlier, we're at the "all-in" point. Gotta be willing to make the tough decisions at this juncture.

Well done. Wasn't sure anyone would actually step up.

I died in one of these a few years ago. It's actually a really good gamblers high, right up until it starts. When your ball tosser who wants tuition money to fight for sustainable clothing to save us from SUV fumes misses their first ten balls in a row.

Dr Pepper usually releases pics and bios of the finalists in the days right before the game.

So, we will be having a Draft this year.

Sic Em gets first pick for stepping up and volunteering, then Tween, and then back and forth until all dr pepper contestants are picked.

We'll do it this way because we won't know the actual two contestants until halftime.

Details to follow. Choose wisely, gentlemen

dammit! I like this format. One year me and lew had a death-off in this but it was a "left or right" situation, totally up to chance. One side was a female minority and the other was an athletic looking dude. It soured me to the whole deal.

I'm looking at the page, but not seeing where it says which people are throwing during which game.

That dude's bio, though......all this "guilt" about his waste production. Geeez. All sponsored by Dr. Pepper, the drinking of which has caused me to litter the earth with innumerable plastic bottles over the years. Oh, the irony...

idk who this is, what he looks like, I know nothing about the person in question aside from what you posted.

If it was me I would avoid him like the plague. There's no way someone like that can throw a football accurately.

although...lately people have stopped throwing like a man and done that 2 handed chest pass which is bullshite, he might actually be good at that. So I have no idea.

I thought the same. But if the other option is an Asian girl who weighs 20lbs soaking wet.......yikes.

At least it's pretty even.

Was kinda an interesting photo choice for him, wasn't it? All the backdrops you could pick and you go with a blank wall and a fire extinguisher? What shenanigans is this guy planning? This could be......interdasting.

Onward.....
