Thoughts, week 5

I really, really hate head-to-head. How did I allow Ponch to talk me into this? Of course, I'm sure Ponch is just loving head-to-head right about now.

This wasn't a particularly high-scoring week, which isn't surprising based on the fact that no one picked Pamela Anderson. There were a few very close matches this week, with Rudy losing to Colt by three points, me losing to Moogie by three and A.J. Simon losing to Mrs. King by four.

Those who picked Avril Lavigne, Deryck Whibley and Matthew McConaughey were at a definite advantage, as they were the highest-scoring celebrities chosen, although both Rudy and I chose all three and ended up with losses regardless. On the other hand, there were a number of matches where neither competitor chose any of those three celebrities.

The hat accessory didn't come up a lot, but was featured a few times, adding two points to Vanessa Minillo, two points to Lachey, and a point each for K-Fed, Eminem, Gyllenhaal, Timberlake and Locklear (unfortunately for those who picked Heather, that hat ran in the fashion police). Let's see if the pet accessory from next week has more of an impact.

We no longer have any teams without a win--Willis pulled one out this week! We also have two teams with more than 300 points and four teams with less than 200. There's quite a range of scores right now--it will be interesting to see if that tightens or whether the gap just gets bigger (and whether it even matters, in light of head-to-head).
