Team Testosterone

Somehow I found myself with the first overall pick again and while I loved it last season to be able to get my all time favorite, Jenn, this time around I wasn't as enthused because by the time it gets back to being my turn again, all the good people are gone.

For my first pick, it was pretty much a no-brainer since as I already mentioned, Jenn wasn't around. If she was, I would of had a much tougher time figuring out who to pick (actually who am I kidding, I would of had to go with Jenn no matter what) but since she wasn't, CT was an easy choice. I pretty much expect him to make it to the finals and get me some points just for longevity. I had also loved him and Diem when they were together and everytime I see them interact, I just want everything to be ok again and a little part of me wishes they would get back together and maybe I'll get a hookup point or two. It's a long stretch I know but a girl can wish can't she?

For my second pick, my choices were pretty limited but I finally settled on Mark, the oldest veteran in the house. He is a good competitor and I'm pretty impressed at how fit he is and seems to come back year after year stronger than ever with no signs of slowing down. Given that he is such a strong vet and is loved by everyone, I figure he won't be seeing the inside of the Dome anytime soon.

My next two picks went to Dunbar and Vinny. Just to give you an idea Dunbar is known as Dummy Bear and as Jon has already blogged about, Vinny.....well I don't know what happened to Vinny. I mean look at the man. He's ballooned up and the image of him in his Speedos is just too much to take. He made no effort to try to get in shape before the Challenge and maybe it wouldn't be such a shock if he wasn't pretty buff before but my oh my is this a fall from grace. The fact that he didn't even care about his physique makes me think he's not too serious about the game but I'm kind of hoping that maybe Sarah will carry the team? I know I know I'm really stretching here.

This is the first time that I've had an all male team and it's quite interesting because Jon has an all girl team. Hm.....and we're both chasing our first championship in these games. With the exception of Vinny, my team is stacked and hence why I've dubbed them Team Testosterone. I do have a weakness for men who have big biceps so if anything at least I've got some eye candy to look forward to each week.

I'm quite excited about this challenge and while I am in it to win it (yes American Idol is another show that is on my DVR these days), I'm more intrigued by the CT/Diem and Cara Maria/Abram storyline. Just today CM tweeted that she was going to burn all of the items that Abram had ever given her so I'm just curious to see the dynamics between their relationship. I'll be blogging more about that later I'm sure but for now, show me the money and I so want to be the one to prevent Yasmine from getting a three-peat.
