Survivor Pool: Week 2 Preview​

Well folks, Week 1 is officially in the books, and the chaos has already started. We lost a handful of brave souls who thought the Patriots, Bears, Chiefs, or Dolphins were “safe.” Lesson learned: nothing is safe in Survivor, not even the stuff you thought you could bet your retirement on.
The good news? Over 95% of the pool survived the opening weekend, which means the cabbage is still stacked high and the room is still crowded. But don’t get too comfortable — Week 2 is where people start overthinking and talking themselves into “value picks.” That’s code for “the exact game where the Jets score 13 defensive touchdowns and end your season.”

The Big Questions Heading Into Week 2​

  • The Cowboys vs Giants Conundrum: Dallas fans are already measuring for their playoff banners, and Giants fans are already writing strongly worded letters to their front office. Do you risk the Cowboys early or save them for when you really need them? Don't rely on them.... EVER
  • The Dolphins Bounce-Back: Miami got embarrassed in Week 1. Survivor players are either doubling down on a rebound or staying as far away as possible. This could be the week they either win by 20 or lose by 40.
  • The Russell Wilson Experience: Giants are technically still rolling him out there. Which means Survivor players should not. Unless you enjoy stress, ulcers, and explaining to your group chat why you went down with “Let’s Ride 2.0.”
  • The Browns and Ravens Spread: Vegas has this as a wide gap, but these two usually play closer than your cousin’s fantasy league trades. Survivor wisdom says beware of division matchups.
  • Panthers.......: Do they go 0-all on the season????

Survivor Pool Comedy Forecast​

  • At least one person is going to pick the biggest favorite and still lose, and the rest of us will laugh, cry, or both.
  • Somebody is going to talk themselves into “this is the week the Commanders finally prove it” — and we will hold a small vigil when it backfires.
  • A kicker will ruin somebody’s life this week. Count on it.

Final Word​

The goal in Survivor isn’t to look smart. The goal is to look alive next Tuesday when the email hits your inbox. Don’t overthink it, don’t get cute, and for the love of Vince Lombardi, don’t bet your cabbage on a division rivalry.

AND PLEASE for the love of God don't put all your eggs in one basket, unless you just have one egg and in that case pick a damn good basket that doesn't rhyme with owboys
Survive and advance. That’s all that matters.

Dont be so damn suspicious Stevie


He did have a tout vouch for him after all.


It is amazing that ANYONE, besides Avocuckdo, would trust someone who is as vile as a human being as Schmirt.

His non survivor scamming posts make it very clear that he is an anti american, commie, alphabet soup pedo supporting , POS.


Why anyone would trust him to pay out 10's of K's if they were to win is just absurd....especially when so many legit contests are around.....


He must be laughing his ass off over the light bill money that Willieful Ignorant sent him...LOLOLOL......

Having a great week, along with everybody :giggle:

I want to win something in this pool, if only to stop people from spamming Schmirt because they disagree with him in the political arena.

If you have proof, and I'm not talk about conspiracy type poppycock, if you have proof, present it. Otherwise you should stop making disparaging remarks and management should hold you to that standard

What would Charlie Kirk say?

Charlie Kirk would say "prove me wrong"!!! Though I disagreed with much of his rhetoric, I am disgusted with gun violence in any form. RIP CK

From the Commish’s Desk…

First let me say a MNF 10pm game kicks my ass come Tuesday morning.....
Week 2 hit like a surprise blitz — in total, 64 entries bit the dust this week. That’s more than double the casualties from Week 1, so if you survived, congratulations — you outran a stampede.
Here’s how the hits broke down:
  • Vikings: 28
  • Steelers: 26
  • Dolphins: 4
  • Saints: 3
  • Titans: 2
  • Texans: 1


OTHER MEMORABLE MOMENTS
  • Baltimore Ravens bounced back in emphatic fashion vs the Browns, 41‑17. If you didn’t pick them, you probably dodged a bullet.
  • The Colts edged out the Broncos 29‑28. Nail‑biters like that should come with warning signs.
  • Seahawks have a surprising bounce against the Steelers; Falcons handled the Vikings; Patriots did enough to stay alive. Survival mode is real.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE POOL
  • Sixty‑four down means only 462 entries remain but we all know some will buy back in because WHY NOT
  • The Vikings and Steelers were the worst spots to be this week — almost half of the fatalities came from those two teams alone.
  • Buying back in? If that option is still open, expect some lifelines to be snapped up fast.

LOOKING AHEAD…
If Week 2 proves anything, it’s that “safe pick” is just wishful thinking. Next week, the status quo picks (teams with strong reputations) will be under even more heat, because fewer “obvious” choices remain. Whoever you believe in — don’t trust too much, hedge where possible, and maybe carry aspirin for the stress.

Do we want to talk about the cowboys? I've seen more window flags and jerseys at the local juke joints than the law should allow! Most of the clothing doesn't fit as it's been years since they were proud to wear it. Will they make it into the conversation next week????


If you are buying back in..... 60 clams this week and please don't forget to put in the notes which entry you are sending for. PEACE LOVE AND CHICKEN GREASE

From the Commish’s Desk…

Week 4 is in the books, and with it comes another round of heartbreak, hubris, and poor life decisions disguised as "football strategy." This week, we lost 53 entries — fewer than Week 3, but no less painful. Plenty of the 53 are eligible for revival should they wish. Just send in 70 clams and PLEASE include your entry name and email address. (I am working on a deal next year for those that follow instructions to be rewarded)

Here's the official body count:

  • Chargers – 33 losses
  • Packers – 10 losses (courtesy of a soul-sucking tie)
  • 49ers – 5 losses
  • Raiders – 3 losses
  • Cardinals – 2 losses

WEEK 4: THE DAMAGE REPORT

Chargers Collapse to the Giants

This was the football version of ordering filet mignon and getting a gas station hot dog. Undefeated Chargers? Gone. A 21–18 loss to the previously winless Giants. Herbert threw two picks, the coaching staff took a nap, and 33 of you now have Sundays free until 2026 if you don't pony up and get back in.

Packers Tie Cowboys 40–40 = You're Out
A barnburner for the ages that ended in a tie, which in our pool is just a more polite loss. If you picked the Packers thinking they'd sneak past Dallas, you were half-right. But in Survivor, half-right is fully dead. That’s 10 more entries gone.

Other Casualties

  • 49ers (5 losses): Lions clawed out a win. The Niners just didn’t have it this week.
  • Raiders (3 losses): At some point, you have to ask yourself, “Why did I trust the Raiders?”
  • Cardinals (2 losses): Every pool needs a couple of YOLO picks. This week, they YOLO’d straight to the exits.

THE CURRENT STATE OF THE POOL

  • 53 eliminated in Week 4.
  • Just south of 400 entries remain standing depending on buy backs this week..
  • If you’re still alive, congratulations — but don’t get cocky. This is where the traps start looking like safe picks.

SURVIVOR WISDOM FOR WEEK 5

  • Don’t chase revenge. The Chargers don’t care that they burned you.
  • Ties. Are. Death. Never forget it.
  • Mid-tier teams are starting to look spicy — and dangerous.



until next time (probably thursday at lunch haha) — stay frosty. The season isn’t trying to eliminate you… it’s trying to embarrass you first.

Lets bypass all the red tape. How much for 50% ?
Plus I have confidence in your picks.

Thank you for the compliment and the interest. But I'm chasing the big prize, not interested in 1,000 bucks or so :cool:

  • From the Commish’s Desk…

    If you are reading this,
    you my friend have made it into the ELITE 80, there are 80 players with a combined total of 262 entries. That is right at 50% of the original pool.


    Week 6 was no joke. We lost 52 entries — that’s 17% of the pool, wiped out in a single weekend. And here’s the kicker: there are no more buybacks from this point forward. You survive, you survive. You don’t, you’re done.
    Here’s your elimination breakdown:
    • Eagles – 36
    • Commanders – 9
    • Bills – 7

    WEEK 6 POST‑MORTEM​

    Eagles — 36 of you died
    Philadelphia took a brutal fall in New York, losing 34–17 to the Giants. Jalen Hurts finally threw his first pick of the season and the offense went silent in the second half. The Giants rookie tandem (Dart + Skattebo) gashed them hard.
    So 36 hopefuls who believed in Philly got shown the door.
    Commanders — 9 eliminated
    Washington snatched defeat from the jaws of (maybe) victory in a 25–24 loss to the Bears on Monday Night. They committed costly turnovers, including a botched handoff late, and let the game slip away.Nine entries that backed D.C. are now history.
    Bills — 7 picks gone
    Buffalo’s home juggernaut finally cracked. They lost 24–14 to the Falcons, as Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson piled up 170 rushing yards (and an 81-yard TD) while the Bills’ defense couldn’t contain him
    Seven entries that thought Buffalo was a safe bet learned otherwise.

    POOL STATUS & IMPLICATIONS​

    • 52 eliminated in Week 6.
    • That’s nearly one in six of you gone this week.
    • With no buybacks left, any mistake is final. This is kill or be killed.
    • Picks that once seemed safe are now traps.

    SURVIVAL TIPS FOR WEEK 7 & BEYOND​

    • Forget popularity — go with matchup logic, not brand value.
    • Watch for offenses struggling or defenses getting exposed.
    • Be extra wary of teams coming off big emotional wins or losses — they’re volatile.
    • Depth matters more now: injuries, backups, fatigue — these kill seasons.

    So with no more buy backs that means the pot is finally set!!!!!

    32960 CLAMS total after buy backs.


    As always once we get down to 10 or less entries remaining The commish will assist in facilitating splits if there is 100% in agreement. If not we will press on to the next week.

Week 9

I have one entry left. Lost on Atlanta, in retrospect should have avoided them because of the QB injury. This entry should have lost on the Broncos last week, so it was living on borrowed time

Also lost, read got fucked, on the Bengals

KC advances. I have 1 of 153 remaining entries

My pick for week 9 is the Rams at home over the Saints
