In 2nd place on 22 points is Seejay.

Which means congratulations Misanthrope, with a score of 26, you have won the final Power of Veto.

In the final POV, it is assumed you will remove yourself from the block and the only person that can take your place is Shaun Hewitt.

Hoggmaster and Shaun Hewitt sit on the elimination block.

Misanthrope, you are the only person that can vote this week, so please name in this thread who you wish to eliminate.

This was a tough call, but I've got to stick true to the guy who sometimes buys me beers and who has agreed to drive me across the US.

The dude who rarely goes after my target at the bar because he can't get it up for white chicks.

Sorry SH, but you're too nice to leave in play. I don't think anybody remaining stands a chance against you in the vote because you haven't trodden on toes like the rest of us have.

I vote to eliminate Shaun.

FINAL 3! Misanthrope vs Hoggmaster vs Seejay.

Here's how it's going to go down.

Part 1: All 3 of you will take part in part 1 of the HOH challenge which will be based on Sunday's NRL GF. The winner of this round moves directly onto part 3.

Part 2: The 2 losers from part 1 will face off in part 2. The winner of the 2nd part will move onto part 3.

Part 3: The winner of part 1 will face off against the winner of part 2 in a live challenge. The winner will be the final HOH and will not only move onto the final to face the jury vote, but they will also get to decide who they face off against in the final.

First part of HOH challenge should be up tonight.

The first part of the final Head of Household Challenge will be to do with all things NRL Grand Final.

Please fill out the below form and PM it to me with your answers.

______________________________________________________________________________

Score Portion

1. Who will win the Grand Final? (-5 points for a correct answer)

2. What will be the final margin? (1 point is added on for how far away you are. e.g. if the margin is 16 and you pick 4, then you will have 12 points added to your score.)

Time Portion

3. What time in the game will the first try be scored? (1 point added on for each minute you are away from the correct time. e.g. if you pick 20 mins and the first try is scored after 5 minutes, you will have 15 points added to your score.)

4. What time in the game will the last try be scored? (1 point added on for each minute you are away from the correct time. e.g. if you pick 80 mins and the last try is scored after at 70 minutes, you will have 10 points added to your score.)

Player Lottery Portion

5. Which Player will score the first try in the game? (this is the part of the game where a solid strategy, could earn you the HOH, you can pick up to 4 players on who you think will be first try scorer, however you will get a higher reward for picking less players. The point structure is like so:

1 Player: -30
2 Players: -20
3 Players: -10
4 Players: -5

So for example if you pick just Darius Boyd and Darius Boys is the first tryscorer then you will get -30 points, if you pick Darius Boyd and Lachlan Coote and Darius Boyd scores first try then you will get the 2 players points which is -20.)

6. Which Player will score the last try in the game? (exactly like question 5 but for last try scorer.)

7. Who will be the Clive Churchill Medalist? (just like questions 5 & 6 but for Clive Chuchill medalist).

______________________________________________________

The person with the lowest score this week will win the first part of the HOH.

Tiebreakers:

1. Guess the winner of the match correctly.
2. Person closest to the correct margin
3. If you pick a first try scorer
4. if you pick a last try scorer
5. if you pick the Clive Churchill medalist.
6. First person to send in their entry.

Make sure you send your entry in via LU PM by 4PM Sunday (Queensland time).

I'd like to, but I believe our trip will only take us across the southern states from LA to NYC.

If my finances are halfway decent, I may stick around for an extra week or two for catch ups sans Hogg.

Final HOH round 2, Seejay vs Misanthrope.

My 2 favourite sports will be the focus of this part of the challenge and you will be betting (but not really).

In this challenge, you will theoretically be given $100 each to bet on different betting markets I will be putting up for the Western Sydney Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar match on Thursday night and the Houston Texans vs Idianapolis Colts match on Friday morning.

You can bet as much or as little as you like, as long as it's under $100. The $100 given is included in your final total, so you can choose not to bet at all. If you choose to do this, you need to let me know via PM. A non submission means you lose.

Just noticed, it doesn't really matter what happens with Mis bets haha. If Indy win tomorrow, Seejay wins, if Houston wins, Misanthrope wins.
