It’s not instant, but it’s still gra-ti-fi-CAY-tion.
38 teams had Josh. He scored 16 points, which is fine.
Individual scoring table
Like Frannie with Matt, scoring is more likely later.
Immunity points: 2 points to Brandon, Carolyn, Carson, Frannie, Jaime, and Matt.
VTEP points: We’re calling this a vote split, so 1 point to everyone except Josh and Carolyn (who seemed to be left out of the vote split).
Pick-4 League
Rogue Wall Enthusiast moves into a tie with At the end of the day… for first place this week. Dig Doug dug up a Disqus account last week and earns a shout out this week, as do forever1267’s taste in men and Side Character- all three of them are in the top ten. Adam B, orangealfy, and Dubious Rob are the only other commenters in the top 20 this week. My beloved bestie fransesqua is currently in a tie for 21st with It’s a Fucking Stick, Muggle, TheForRealDeal, and Saturday Night Palsy. All the non-fransesquas in that sentence earned halo-effect shout outs this week, so enjoy that.
Champions League:
Jersey Luck becomes our first eliminated team in this season’s Champions League. That team needed more Jersey. Forever1267 and Mike Hirsch are still in the lead, with No Eyes in Blindfold and Ainslee still in line for the other two invitations to next season’s league.

Other leagues
Ok, it’s the moment you’ve all (or at least three of you) have been waiting for: This week I’m checking in on Ainslee, Charles, and Sam. First, I need to shout out all three of these teams for drafting Claire- you know a true queen when you see one, and that kind of talent identification retroactively justifies the season-long spotlight your league received last season.
Last season, of course, the power of my fandom propelled Ainslee to a victory. This season, however, Ainslee sits in last place, ten points behind second-place Sam. Charles sits in first place, and it is tempting to go with the current front-runner as my rooting interest, because I love an overdog. And Ainslee chose to draft Yam Yam- the only team in this league to do so. This was a terrible decision- A Yam Yam win, like a Sandra win, would likely be very low-scoring.
But I’m a big fan of terrible decisions, and also a big fan of nostalgia, so we’re running it back with Ainslee as my winner pick for this league. Don’t disappoint me, Ainslee!
Anyway, if you’d like to have your own mini-league like those I shout out here, you can still do small draft leagues amongst yourselves. You can find the pages for those leagues here (there are multiple tabs for these, depending on the size of the group): PRP fantasy leagues.
