I don't know how Yasmine does it, but she once again is proving to be the cream of the crop, even if we're only 1/4th of the way through the season. I guess the cream just rises doesn't it? It looks Yasmine is right on track to go back-to-back again. (She did it in 2010-11 with Cutthroat and Rivals.)

EP1 saw past fantasy champions Yasmine and Victor take an early lead on the backs of Adam and Brittany’s Dome win. EP2 was all about Susan as she came roaring to life in her second fantasy Challenge season with 13 points. She even got an elusive hookup bonus from the Zach and Jenna pairing! If that romance stays strong (which it looks like it will), Susan can expect more freebies!

And speaking of freebies, Kim and George both almost hit double digits in EP2, with a little boost from Dustin and Jessica in Exile. The twist this season looks like it could be a gift for these two as they pick off the other losing teams. (Be careful when scoring for Dustin/Jessica though, as they can’t receive any bonus points, or the weekly +1 for sticking around.)

By EP3, we were getting into the swing of the season even as we saw Diem and CT go. It was a bold move of Victor and George to draft these two, and it looks like they may regret those picks, with Diem’s exit coming so early. So far the hookups and bonuses have been pretty light, but I think MTV will start editing those in now with the Diem storyline gone.

After three weeks, Yasmine is the only owner left with a full roster. That’s bad news for the rest of us. Victor lost Diem, Kim is out Hailey and sort of Dustin, Jon lost Thomas, Susan saw Simone leave last week, and George has Jessica in Exile and second round pick CT gone after tallying only two points.

So yeah, it looks like it’s the field versus Yasmine, just like last year...
