Prizes would be nice, but there are very very few sites anymore that
give away prizes for BO predicting (www.ez1producitons.com is an exception).

I play for the competition, not the prize.

So how many times we're gonna see this same phrase here??? [insert name] "I play not for the prize". OK, great, but it's not the point! Nobody cares why you play - the only thing we're talking about here is that they used to give away the monthly premier pass since the very beginning, and then all of a sudden they stopped, for no reason. BOM is degrading heavily - that's the problem. First, unstable deadlines, then no premier pass (great way to save couple of hundred bucks for the site). Remember they used to have DVD rentals? Mark my words, guys, soon they'll put most of the info that was free for you to play with into paid access section, and you all will be screwed. So you better start fucking copy and paste.

Yeah, KJ sort of dominated. Congrats to Munky, Casey, Solc,
I placed 38, top 40 is very solid for me. I'm pleased!
Xiayun's right, great week for KJ.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Daaaang, nice win Casey. That score puts you in the top 20 game winning scores ever. Too bad Hangover was WB eh? You'd be even higher!

Congrats all, except me :(

Thanks, everyone! Weird that the actuals changed.. but I'm not complaining! :D Awesome job to ChipMunky and SolC9 as well! (Though I'm a bit shocked ChipMunky did not end up going lower on HP with all of his negativism lol)

I think winner's score is not a fair score. Looking at the derby it seems like it was updated on saturday.

I suspected foul play too at first, but HalfBloodEdwardCullen did predict VERY similar opener numbers for Early Game a week in advance. So I think it's legit.

Its not the openers. Looking at IA3/Bruno, its hard to accept anyone acing both those numbers. May be I am wrong. But I am planning to ping sean to take a look in general.

So here's an interesting piece of news: I only got a score of 84.6%, but I had 3 (count 'em 3!) 100%s with actuals. Kinda crazy, heh.

Thanks everyone. I took a gamble on The Ugly Truth, and it paid off :)

And of course, that's out of this world for HalfBloodEdwardCullen.

Good job Scott! I think that's the only KJ person I recognize in the top 30. The Collector pretty much screwed us all. And I'm surprised at my ranking; though I would be out of the top 50 again for sure.

almost famous missed another week? :(

So The Collector was the derby decider - there's a shocker. And to a lesser extent Funny People.

Funny Cide continues quite a streak, similar to Casey's.
