Standings: WK 8-11


  • Susan +31(94)
  • Yasmine +37(89)
  • Jon +21(71)
  • Victor +13(64)
  • Kim +14(47)
  • George +13(42)

Well, this is disgusting. After tabulating the scores for WK 8-11, it looks like Yasmine is once again in the lead. Not only that, with only two episodes to go — the finals and the inevitable “to be continued” — she seems to have a lock on the win for Bloodlines. Yes, that would mean back-to-back-to-back wins for Yasmine. Do we quit after this season? Do we handicap Yasmine somehow? Despite losing Christina after WK1, she didn’t lose another person until Thomas in E7. And then she kept her trio of Aneesa / Jamie / Jenna alive, with the latter two both making the finals.

Last we checked, Susan was in the lead with a slim edge, and she had powerhouse Cara Maria leading the ay, and she seemed to have a championship in her sights, but losing Rianna in WK11 basically means she’s going into the finals down nine points, with only one finals participant versus Yasmine’s two. More importantly, since Jamie and Cara Maria are partners, even if they win and get the +7, Susan can’t take the title. So yeah, good showing for Susan’s sophomore season but she’s going to finish just short of a win.

Jon came on strong near the end of the season but will still finish a distant third, although it’s possible they could eclipse Susan for second place if Cory wins Bloodlines plus gets a ton of bonus points. Let’s get some more puking and hospital and crying points Cory!

As for the rest, Victor officially lost all his players in WK11, having lost the pairs of Kellyanne / Candice and then Abram / Mike in successive weeks. Vince was eliminated right before the finals so Victor will have to settle for a fourth place finish this season. Kim had lost half her team by WK5 but hung on to have Brianna make the finals, although that won’t get Kim any higher than fifth.

And then there’s George, who once again got the #1 overall pick but wasted it on CT, who picked up two guest appearances but not much else. And with only Mitch still around after WK4, George was basically riding last place all season -- unless Mitch wins, which could vault George into second-to-last place... But George has an actual physical baby (Hi Greta!) as her prize, so that will be the real bloodlines she participated in this season.

Here’s to a thrilling final, and of course, I hope my girl Cara Maria finally wins the damn thing!

[Correction, correction: Susan actually has 94 points! Meaning she's got a five point lead on Yasmine! If she can somehow avoid Jenna capturing the +7, and without too many bonus points from Jamie / Jenna, she could ride Cara Maria to the championship!]
