Correction: I previously stated that this was the final immunity of the season for Survivor. That was incorrect. There are still 6 teams alive. The highest scorer of those 6 will receive immunity and a spot in the final four THIS week.
The closest win in PFFL history, a record-tying start to the season, and the setup for a great playoff chase. Here’s what happened in the PFFL in week 8!

Week 8 Highlights
- Kramerica won their third straight game and assumed sole possession of first place in the East. This is also Kramerica’s third straight win in this series, which is now tied at 4 wins each.
- Don’t look now, but SIAP is on a win streak. With a dominant performance in a win over reeling Hedfullalicker, SIAP is now .500 and firmly in wild card contention. This is SIAP’s 2nd straight win over Hed, giving them a 5-3 all-time lead in the matchup.
- WBM handed TKD its third consecutive loss, ending a 3-game win streak by TKD in this series. WBM improved their record to 3-5 to get back into the wild card conversation, while TKD dropped to 4-4 and is down another wild card tiebreak. TKD still leads this series, 9-7.
- In a matchup between the two lowest scoring teams in the league this week, Camel Toe beat Double D by 0.06 points. That, my friends, is the smallest victory margin in PFFL history. Both teams are now 2-6 and need to improve quickly to make a run at the postseason.
- The battle of division leaders did not disappoint. Going into Monday night, SaaBB held a 7.74 point lead over Post Mortem, but Mortem had one player left, Rob Bironas. After the Tennessee kicker nailed two field goals totalling 78 yards early in the Monday Night game, Post Mortem had the lead and an 8-0 record. It is PM’s 4th straight win over SaaBB, putting Post’s series lead at 9-4-1. Despite having 5 more wins, PM has only outscored SaaBB by 47 points in their matchup history. For SaaBB, this was their first loss since week 1, ending a 6-game win streak.
- Turd Ferguson kept pace in the West, dropping division rivals The Hip by 11. Turd now leads this all-time matchup, 8-4 with one more meeting to come this season.
- The Jedi Masters exploded for league-high points this week, holding back a tough effort from CSPJ in their first meeting since 2005. The 51-point win gives TJM a 3-2 series advantage.
Record Watch
- Post Mortem became only the second team in PFFL history to begin a season 8-0. This ties the record previously set by the team PM beat this week, SaaBB. SaaBB achieved the mark in 2004, ultimately finishing the regular season with a 10-4 record and losing in the playoff semifinals as a wild card team.
- This is also only the 8th time that a team has won 8 straight games in a single season. In three instances, teams have won more than 8 straight within a single season, led by The Jedi Masters with 12 straight wins last year.
- Camel Toe’s 0.06 point win over Double D is the smallest victory margin in league history, surpassing WBM’s 0.18 point win over DDT in 2005.
- DDT became the 13th team to lose 25 division games. With an all-time division record of 33-25, DDT ties with Hedfullalicker as taking the second most time to record that 25th loss. SIAP took the longest — 64 games.

Postseason Races
East – This is the league’s most wide-open race. Kramerica Industries grabbed sole possession of first place this week, but has three teams only one game back. All five teams in the division have played each other exactly once, and will repeat that cycle in the next six weeks. The team with the most ground to make up is SIAP, who is 0-4 inside the division but 4-0 outside it. Week 9 division matchups: Kramerica vs TKD and SIAP vs Double D.
Central – SaaBB’s loss combined with The Jedi Masters’ win has created a closer race in the Central. The Jedis have already lost 2 games in the division and only have 2 left, so they need to beat SaaBB in week 11 and get some help from other teams (preferably another division foe) in defeating the Bowling Balls. In the bottom of the division, WBM is trying to make a late push and gets help from the schedule, with two games against cellar dwelling CSPJ remaining on the schedule. Week 9 division matchup: WBM vs CSPJ
West – Two of the four best records and half of the top 6 scoring teams reside in the West, but most of the division has been overshadowed by Post Mortem’s undefeated start to the season. PM has beaten each of its division opponents once, while no one else in the West is better than 2-2 inside the division. It’s certainly not a guarantee that Mortem wins the division, but it’s going to take a fairly huge collapse by PM and an outstanding run through a slew of tough division foes by someone else for it not to happen. Turd Ferguson’s spot in the West standings will be determined during a 4-week division-only stretch starting in week 10 while the other four teams square off in West battles this week. Week 9 division matchups: Post Mortem vs The Hip, Hedfullalicker vs Camel Toe
Wild Card – Think the NFL has parity? Check out the annual dogfight that is the wild card race in PFFL. Post Mortem and SaaBB appear to be in very comfortable position to mathematically lock up a playoff berth soon. Kramerica Industries and Turd Ferguson are both 5-3 and in firm control of their destinies, but are only one game ahead of a six-pack of teams at 4-4. WBM, Camel Toe, Double D and CSPJ must win games now if they want to get into this fight. The next few weeks will do a lot to separate the contenders and pretenders in this group, starting with some key matchups this week. Key wild card influencing matchups in week 9: Kramerica Industries (5-3) vs Tappa Kegga Day (4-4), The Jedi Masters (4-4) vs Duany Duany Tanning (4-4).
Recap Babe
Stacy Keibler has always had the legs, now she’s trying to get a real acting career going. She also says she’s a “nerd.” I guess nerdy girls all date a string of roided out freaks. She was also apparently in something on ABC Family recently…
