Um... absolutely I want in.
Very excited that this exists
At my previous job I made a passing comment about the Challenge and a girl I worked with started laughing. I told her that I wasn't ashamed of my love for the Challenge. She took me to her cube where she had a pic of Johnny Bananas so we quickly became friends. Before the next season started she introduced me to a friend of hers in Chicago who runs the league. I think we have 27 people with a $20 buy in.
Its put together more complexly than any sports league I have been a part of. Each player is assigned a value based on previous performance and you have $1000 to spend on your team. You must have a certain amount of men and women and then 2 wild cards. The scoring categories include - misuse of the word literal (new this year), kissing, being in the pool, vomiting, drinking, being held back in a fight, reading a clue, crying, being blurred, falling in a challenge or while drunk, TJ telling them they "killed it", winning a challenge, banging, fighting, throwing something, breaking something. You can lose points when they get called out by TJ, DQ, balk a challenge or quit.
The most expensive player this season is Nany (by a long shot) and the most expensive male is Bananas followed by CT. Everyone is on the honor code to avoid any spoilers that may come up before they draft.
The girl who runs the league scores it each week - who knows how long it takes.
Either way its pretty awesome and makes watching a ton of fun. Ive done it for the past 4 or so. I'll try to remember to post about it before the next season.
