HT: +6 (6)
George: +5 (5)

A first week with plenty of excitement! Well, exciting unless you're Team George because she's already lost Wes and Lacey. It's no surprise she's bringing up the rear. Is George's season already over Jon and HT's teams came slow out of the gate, as they mostly had a low scoring week with the exception of a win by Team Cancun -- and CJ reading the clue.

The stars of this episode were clearly Jonna, Frank, and Zach (6 pts each). They kissed and cried their way to the top.  Kim must be prescient as Jonna, picked fifth overall, looks ready for a break out season. Victor leaped out to a great start in defending his championship due to Zach's prowess, plus having Cara Maria and Eric win their Arena battle.  Heck, even Derek contributed by being a part of the winning Cancun team.

A note on scoring post formats: Changing to this paragraph recap is easier than updating each little individual box. If you want to see who scored exactly what, just check the spreadsheet.

Scoring Notes: We're clarifying the blurcle rule that it should be for nudity versus a logo, or when Jemmye flicked someone off.

Also, there were two blurcles this episode, over two guys, but we can't determine 100% who they were so no points awarded.

Edit: Nevermind, after some consultation and voting, we are awarding blurcle points to Zach and Frank. Our panel was swayed by this investigative analysis, even though we didn't necessary see it ourselves: "We have fairly large monitors at work. We slowed down the scene and stopped it just as soon as the clip changed to the pool scene. You can see that the individual on the right is Zach by his hair pulled pack in like a semi pony-tail. Also, the fact that the guy on the right is huge. The guy on the left is Frank. The thing that stands out the most on Frank is his body type and that this individual jumping in the pool is extremeley hairy. Frank is the only guy with body hair. All 3 of us here are 100% sure it is those 2 guys." Thanks guys!
