Hear ye, hear ye, this draft has now been called to order!
Attending the draft were: Michal, Bag, Bri, Richey (arrived
at 6:20), and Danielle (arrived at 6:42).
The first order of business will be to make our picks &
we’ll look at the rules afterwards. The drawing for the order in which picks
were made was done using Richey’s hood, while he was still wearing it. The
order was: Doug/Bri first, Michal second, Bag/Leah third, Dachui fourth, and
Moon fifth. We snaked with this first drawing & then redrew for the last
round of dreg picks. The redraw order was almost identical to the first drawing:
Bag/Leah first, Michal second, Doug/Bri third, Dachui fourth, and Moon fifth.
People missing from the draft: Moon (in Ethiopia), Ben (working,
but proxied for Moon through the phone), Doug (taking care of puppy), and Leah
(picking up friend from airport). We missed you all!
The Picks:
Doug/Bri:
1. Jay
2. Troyzan
3. Alicia
Michal:
1. Chelsea
2. Monica
3. Christina
Bag/Leah:
1. Kim
2. Leif
3. Colton
Dachui:
1. Michael
2. Bill
3. Kat
Moon:
1. Jonas
2. Sabrina
3. Tarzan
Everyone agreed that the cast of characters on
this season was extra-dreggy. Because of this it was hard to decide who had a
good team & who didn’t, although Danielle declared that Michal’s team of
all women would be the first to go.

* Douche of the Week is the most exciting new rule for this
season! Each week, readers of this blog can vote for who was the most
obnoxious/stupid/least valuable player in the last episode by posting a comment
onto my blog. Whoever gets the most votes for each episode earns the Douche of
the Week (DoW) title. The castaway that gets the most Douche of the Week titles
will be crowned as the Douchiest of Douches & earn their team a bonus 10
points. Note: you don’t need to be in the pool to vote, but that you can only
vote once per week. The polls close when the next episode airs, so you only
have 1 week to get your vote in! Once we’re down to 4 players, there will be no
more voting.
Team Names:
The final decision of the day was to come up with team names…
although nothing was completely decided yet. Dachui’s main goal in picking
their team was to NOT pick someone super religious again. As such they
considered the team name “Anti-Christ” but were concerned that would bring too
many spammers to the blog.
Bag/Leah = Pride of Chucky
Moon = Ah-ah-AHHHH, ah AHH, ahahahahahhhhh!!!!!!
Doug/Bri = currently undecided
Michal = Team Good Boobs
Dachui = All Balls, No Brains

I think right now Bag is off to a huge lead just based on team names. Well done Bag. You guys need to get on that. Maybe something a little catchier for Team Good Boobs like Team Terrific Ta-Tas or Michal's Menagerie of Mammary.
We'll work on our team name as soon as our team comes up with some kind of personality. We are lacking in that department as of right now. (Which could be good for this pool...)
C'mon good-ole-fashioned Survivor auction! We haven't been able to use those points since we made those rules. How can they keep avoiding such an awesome exercise?!?
Michal's Menagerie of Mammary FTW with possibly more M-words.
Wow. I am flabbergasted.
I can't believe how bad 3/5 of these teams are. Both Team Boobs AND Team Balls are looking at a real possibility of dropping to one remaining castaway seven days from now! It's almost as if these teams were picked with the goal to have your three players KO'd as quickly as possible. And I'm not sure Doug & Bri have even been watching the show based on their picks, especially Jay first overall. I imagine the rationale was that he was going to be the wily guy playing both sides, bobbing & weaving till the merge and then busting a move. A decent thought, except that Jay's brain has never produced a decent thought of his own.
But the biggest shocker has to be that Bag pieced together the best draft in the pool. He made the right choice at every juncture, and now finds himself with a strong, intelligent, and diverse squad whose only current perceivable competition is my team (working on team name). I can only assume the watchful eye of his significant other was the influence that finally turned the tide after years of laughable drafts.
No Probst Assessment to steer me wrong this season.
Your traditional post-draft trash everyone comment is well received this season, Luna. One of your more enjoyable rants, imo.
Appropriately, Bag seems to have taken most of the abuse, caustically book-ended between a glowing team assessment. Love it.
Keep it coming 2.5x defending champ. It makes me feel like you are so much closer than Africa.
OOOOOOOAAAAAAA OOOOOOOAAAAAAA OOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA OOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I am ready to vote on DoW.
happy to be on board this season! we shall see if my joining "Bag" helps or hinders him.
DoW for me was easily Colton. I went from being embarrassed for him to hoping a coconut fell from the sky and shut him up. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.
My vote for DoW is definitely Colton as well. I can't believe all the men are following his lead. This cast is full of idiots.
Moon, I do feel like you have a strong team, but your assessment of Jay is going to be incorrect. I heard that Jonus was possibly #1 on your draft list (or at least at the top). I'll wager a side bet of a Murphy's side or additional beer/drink that Jonus will be out before Jay is out if you want to defend your incorrect judgement???
My vote for DoW is going to take the least valuable player angle. If I could, I'd vote for the entire Manano tribe, but I cannot. I think Leif screwed himself more than any other individual this episode as far as where he stood prior and where he stood after. You can't be giving others easy reasons to rally around voting you off. He was in a good spot before, but now his chances seem slim.
You're on, Doug.
