In week 10 action:
- Don’t look now, but CSPJ has a winning streak going. CSPJ improved to 4-6 overall (and 3-4 in division play) with a victory over Kramerica. The season series resulted in a split with one win each, but CSPJ now leads the all-time series 4-3.
- SaaBB improved to 7-3 with their second straight win, this one over Camel Toe. The season sweep of Camel Toe adds to SaaBB’s already impressive undefeated division play mark (5-0).
- DDT got back to .500 with a high-point win this week over The Hip (who scored over 100 but dropped to 2-8). This is DDT’s third straight victory in a career matchup that is tied at 6 wins a piece.
- Winning Beer Money got back on the winning track, handing Double D only their second loss of the year. This marks WBM’s first victory over DD since their inaugural matchup in week 6 of the 2003 season. Double D had won the previous four (including a 2003 playoff matchup).
- The Jedi Masters cruised to their 8th straight win, 104.11 – 77.31 over slump-busting Tappa Kegga Day. TKD is now 0-5 in West division play, and 5-0 in non-division action. TJM has the league’s best record at 9-1. TJM has won five straight over TKD (including a season sweep this year), and leads the career series, 8-6.
- Post Mortem continues to struggle, dropping a close matchup to a Turd Ferguson team that notched only its second victory of the year. Turd has now beaten PM in two straight meetings, but PM still leads the all-time matchup, 7-6.
- SIAP improved to 7-3, handing Hedfullalicker their 3rd straight loss by a mere 0.8 points. These two teams had not met since 2001, and despite both teams status as charter PFFL members, this was only their 7th meeting (only the 6th in the regular season). SIAP leads that matchup, 4-3.
Records and Milestones
- Turd Ferguson’s victory this week stopped their losing streak at 7 games, the fourth longest losing streak in one season ever.
- The Jedi Masters’ eight (and counting) game win streak is tied for the 3rd longest win streak in a single season.
- Kramerica’s loss this week was their 50th ever in the regular season. It has only taken them 80 games to hit this milestone. NO team in league history has ever lost this many regular season games this quickly (it took WNFL 93 games to do it, while SIAP took an amazing 116).
The Jedi Masters held immunity coming in and were guaranteed a spot in the final four. Turns out, they didn’t need it. They were the only team still alive in Survivor to score over 100 this week. Their division mates Double D were not quite so lucky. A week after being saved by immunity themselves, the Brady-less DD squad was booted from the island with a miserable 52.93 point showing. Your Survivor Final Four are The Jedi Masters, Turd Ferguson, SaaBB and Tappa Kegga Day. Turd is the surprise of the bunch, sitting at a measly 2-8, but surviving all season long. Let’s take a long at some of Turd’s close calls:
- In week 1, they scored 53.2. Luckily for them, Kramerica scored 52.92.
- In week 7, they scored 76.63, but DDT scored only 73.58.
- In week 9, they scored an impressive 98.96. Double D scored 95.25 but was saved by immunity. Winning Beer Money was eliminated with 98.82 points.
The Jedi Masters have only scored fewer than 86 points once all season: a 63.49 point week in week 5. SaaBB was saved by immunity back in week 8 when they scored 54.66, but has scored more than 67 every other week. Tappa Kegga Day’s lowest scoring output was 77.31 and that happened this week. Should make for an interesting final 4 weeks of Survivor. A few reminders:
- No more immunity — lowest score in weeks 11 and 12 is eliminated
- The two remaining teams after week 12 will enter a two-week cumulative score battle over weeks 13-14 for the title
- The Survivor champ gets $100, the runner-up gets $40
Playoff Races
- The Jedi Masters, at 9-1, became the first team to clinch a playoff berth this week.
- Double D is in with one more win or a loss by both Kramerica and CSPJ
- As things stand today, a .500 record gets you in the playoffs. This is good news for SIAP and SaaBB, who already have 7 wins.
- Turd Ferguson, The Hip, and Camel Toe are all one loss away from almost certain elimination
- SIAP, SaaBB and Kramerica have the easiest remaining schedules. Camel Toe, unfortunately for them, has the toughest.
Key Week 11 Matchups
- Double D seeks a playoff clinching win against Tappa Kegga Day (who seeks their first division win)
- SaaBB could probably lock up the division title in the East with a win over CSPJ and a DDT loss to Kramerica
- Post Mortem looks for a season sweep of Hedfullalicker, a win that would keep PM’s division hopes on life support and all but lock up a playoff spot
- Winning Beer Money faces a Turd Ferguson team trying to play spoiler
- DDT can put some distance between themselves and Kramerica in the wild card hunt
When you have the best record and the most points in the league, you can suggest recap girls. That’s what Jedi Masters GM Joel Walker did this week with one Sarah Michelle Gellar. She’s not killing vampires on TV anymore, but apparently has a gazillion movies coming out in the next year. What’s the deal with those gloves?
