Interesting week. It was the 2nd highest scoring week for the past 4 years, using SSL as the basis, as that has been the most consistent and a good sample size. 133.27 this week, beaten only by week 13 in 2004. (The average scores from 2004-06 has been 118). Despite this, there was only one Immunity score truly outstanding (see PDSL)In a look at important players this week, surprise, surprise, no bootee has Carson Palmer. Nor are any of the top 5 scoring QB, WR, or TE on any bootee, while there are 2 teams with a top 5 scoring RB.As for most owned by bootees, Pennington, Tony Scheffler, Toomer, and Santana Moss are owned by 4 teams, but only Moss was anything like a high pick, so it's just coincidence there. Lee Evans, though, owned by 5 teams, was probably a high enough pick to do serious damage to those teams.A little more surprising is I looked at the immunity holders this week. Only 4 teams had Carson Palmer, and only 7/14 had one of the top 5 QBs. 6/14 had a top 5 RB and 5/14 had a top WR. 9/14 had a top TE, however (none with Gates, though). THe most valuable were 2 lower round WRs - 6 teams owned Bruce, 5 owned Galloway Which brings to an interesting little stat. The immunity holder's average score for these positions (both used and bench players, which means a lot of zeros for backups)QB 17.43888889 (13 Zeros)RB 8.88 (17)WR 12.40235294 (19)TE 12.25862069 (3)Booteesqb 8.936363636 (16)rb 6.848275862 (18)wr 6.584444444 (30)te 6.385714286 (6)No surprise the average scores are generally almost double, as immunity scores are generally close to double as well. But very interestingly, the difference in RB scores is very close. Early and small sample so far, but it just justifies what a lot of the veterans of these leagues have seen. RB's just aren't as valuable here as they are in a most regular leagues.Now on to the results:Staff IDP - Even if Lito played, he still probably wouldn't have helped. Jeff Pasquino is out. David Baker is safe next week.BDSL - Looks like Capt Hook's .05 bid won't have an effect. He's out by .15 (Big OUCH) Orgazmo is safe next weekWSL - 2 people saved themselves. Fiddles wasn't one. Valence and Tony Jabroni join him on the shelf. Ravnzfan, Aaron R, and Getinthemix have the safe spots for the week.PDSL - Rzrback, Renesauz, Prof Chaos, and Busman are out, as none managed to save themselves.Up top, Yudkin, Wraith5, Milfoshane, and UFFL Commish (with an impressive 209, third best alive score since I've been running these)MBSL - Rzrback loses his 2nd team, while Jiggyonthehut is out in 3Dpeease get the same hard luck award I got in WSL1, as he has top score in MBSL1.Fiddles benefits from the Dpease being out by getting the immunity, with The Ref also being safe (justifying his desire for the #1).WE - Rudy made it interesting, but is out by 1 pt. Jeff Pasquino is safe next week.IDP - Nice battle at the bottom, with Miggity being the odd man out. Pigskin Pimp gets the immunity.SSL - Rzrback finally manages to save himself, keeping him from a hat trick of bootings. Shadowfax, JMills, Bostonfred are the all gone. Wdcrob in 4 needed 32 to pass Fiddles. He got 31, so we have the first tie of the year. The Tiebreaker is the score from a player not used in the scoring. Wdcrob has Huard with an unused 14. Fiddles, however, has Tarvaris Jackson with an unused 15. A brutal way to go, but Wdcrob is the last out.Up top, Preds, Abrecher, Frank Black, and Footballhead get immunity.GL all. Until next week
SSLs - Rzrback, Jmills, Bostonfred, and Wdcrob are the ones in DangerRzr needs at least 25 out of 4 players to get in the range of the next up. JMills is basically done, as the Suisam isn't getting 17. BF has needs a reasonable 9 from 4 players to tie Fullback Fro, who does have a couple to go as well. Jeff Pasquino is the real target, as he's done with 110, so 15 is the real number he's looking for. And Wdcrob needs 30 from 3 players just to tie. WE - Rudy is low man with 94. He has just Santana(-1). Radballs is 14 up with Baskett(-11) to go.IDP - Duckboy has 2(Portis(-.3) and Akers(-2)). He has people 1.85, 6.2, 8, and 9.6 up. Way to close to call at this point.Anarchy: .02 separates the top of A1. Duckboy is dominating A3, which has the biggest spread (226.8) from top to bottom (the other three are 121-141)WSL -Out in week 1. 2nd best score overall week 2. I know it really wasn't a team that could win it all(Carson isn't scoring 57 every day), but sheesh.Fiddles, Bri, and JetWillWin are low men now. Fiddles is done and out. Bri has Curtis and LJSmith(-2) and only 3pt deficit from a done Valence. Valence is in deep doodoo. JWW has Santana and Portis(-7) and needs 15 pts to pass TonyJabroni, who has only late-signee Caldwell(-3)PDSL - Rzrback(again), Renesauz, Prof Chaos, and Busman are in danger.Rzr needs 12 out of Santana(-4) to approach Bostonfred and Fiddles, but both have players left. Renesauz has a couple, but he needs 15 to get to Old Milwaukee, who also has a couple.Prof Chaos needs just 4 pts to pass Doc Niner, who is done. If he gets it, it will justify drafting 3 D's, as it is his 3rd D(PHI) he needs 17 pts out of. (He does need 4, as he loses the tiebreaker if it's just 3)Busman has a couple of well, but 26 pts is a lot. BDSL - Pictus Cat's -9 might come into play here. He has just a 1.75 pt lead over Valence, who is low man. Valence has Akers and Baskett(-3.9). PC has McNabb. There are 3 others in close range, and they all have players going. This will be a battle.MBSL - Football Jones and Jiggy are the low men. FJ still has Cooley, so in definite danger for a 3rd time this week is Rzrback. He's up by 4.25, with Lloyd(-11.2) and LJ(-6.7). Jiggys' short roster is done.BTW, Shadowfax has a decent deficit already to make up to avoid being the first boot from MBSL 2.And just added, a Staff IDP league with almost all staff(and Construx Boy). Will Grant was the week 1 bootee (By .55 behind Maurile). This week, it looks like Jeff P is pretty doomed, down by 40. Westbrook(-6.6), Spikes(-6), and Sheppard(-5.25) will put up a few points, but not that many. (As a note, please check for scoring rules/lineup for accuracy since I'm coming into it cold. Thanx)GL Tomorrow, and we should all rejoice that the Universe has returned to normal, now that the 49ers have sole possession of the NFC West lead.

I screwed up with the other two because I missed a score for WR's which would mean another score got dropped off vs. total. This is why I tend not to do my own scores for survivor.
There is a mistake in our lineups. The correct starters are:
