No need to Sean18's out, that's all that matters.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

That was a tad tedious.
However it did prove that it was not a sexist task, as the only XX that competed led the field.
Worminhand - 22. Sean18 - 17 Tom155 - 14 Chicken Hunter - 12 Barham Red - 8 dum-dum, roopy, sandra - 7. Barista - dns (cnba, presumably).
So that leaves the 3 gents on 7, looking to take the last place in the final. I'll just double check the scores for you 3. If it is still tied, I'm going to expand the bonus point thing to 4, then 5 and so on, until the tie is broken. If it gets beyond 6, you're all dead.

It wasn't sexist, just inclined to appeal to boys' natures rather than girls', and tedious. Didn't realize the vote was imminent or would have gone for the Paint thing, as you know.
Easy, too. Just a matter of seeing which team had won the most matches out of each scheduled game and putting them to win. If the teams' victories were fairly even, pick the Home side. The stupid game tends to score in multiples of 7, it would appear, so used that as a rough guide to margins. Took about 10 minutes of logical thought.
Still. As Marfa says, they got beat by girls, they got beat by girls.

You did all get 7. You each got within 4 points for 1 game (dum-dum - the Texans, Sandra - your avian friends the Ravens and roopy - the Saints). Sandra wins it on the second tie-break, getting within 5 on the 49ers and Jets.
So the final 6 are Wormy, Sean, Tom, Chicken Hunter, Barham and Sandra.
Details of the final task, which will decide the who is our Survivor champion, will be posted tomorrow morning.

Still waiting for evidence of Chicken Hunter voicing anything other than a home win, the +7 was seemingly manufactured.
Also, I had it that I got 7 games right and one within 3pts, I don't understand your sums to make my score only 7? If the bonus are just in event of a tie, How did WiH get 22 with just 14 games.
I've not checked other people's predictions but you've added mine up incorrectly.
