You know that saying that it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad? This is just sad funny. Funny sad. One of those.
Venus was only on 28 teams. She was not super popular. Unlike in real life, where I’m sure she has friends.
Individual scoring table
Immunity win: 4 points to Maria
VTEP: 2 points to Ben, Charlie, Kenzie, Liz, Maria, and Q.
Pick-4 League
The Leftovers is in first now. Adam B is still in second place, but has now lost Venus and has but one player remaining. Toneloke, who maybe isn’t a commenter(?) is tied with Adam B, and they are closely followed by Dubious Rob. Lurkers Never Prosper is proving that team name wrong (at least in a fantasy league sense) in 8th place, just ahead of the trio of DJ Cambodia, Prom King, and Storm of Cuteness. Prom King is soaring up the standings and still has three players left in the game. STTP, The Ladder, Rogue Wall Enthusiast, Lira2012, and True Alainer all cracked the top 20 this week. I feel like this has been a generally successful season for the more frequent/longtime commenters. Well done, y’all!
Champions League
Barring a stunning win by Ben or Liz, Ricarson is the likely winner of Champions League this season. Mike sits 10 points behind with his head-scratcher of a successful team. DJ Cambodia needs Kenzie to do basically anything in order to overtake Mark. DesiSurvivor needs a big run from Maria in order to knock Mark out of the top 4.

Other leagues
In real life, I’m all about fairness and inclusiveness. But when it comes to these other leagues, I have an admitted bias for the trio of Sam, Ainslee, and Charles. And thus, this week I must check in on them and note that Ainslee’s team is a disgrace. Charles and Sam are in a tight race for the win, and Ainslee’s team has Maria. But you know what Ainslee’s team doesn’t have? Hope. Good luck to Charles and Sam. HOWEVER! This season, my favorite trio made a second league called “For the vibes”. Do you know who they were vibing with? Tevin (very yes). You know who else they were vibing with? Jess (very no). All three of them had both Tevin and Jess on their teams. Just six points separates first and third place in this league, but unfortunately Sam has no shot at a win. Sam is four points behind Ainslee, who also has Sam’s lone remaining player- Charlie. Thus, it’s a question of whether Ainslee’s duo of Charlie and Liz can outscore Charles’ duo of Maria and Q. You can do it, Ainslee! Restore your honor for your shameful performance in your other league.
If you want to see how your league is going, you can find the pages for those leagues here (there are multiple tabs for these).
