Don't Bet On It

It's one of my favorite times of year - football and reality tv are in full bloom!!! Not one to pass up an opportunity to squander my meager wages in exchange for a bit of trash talking, I'm putting my money where my mouth is and I'm getting ready for POOL season. I know most people hear pool season and instantly think summer and outdoors but not me. I think football, gambling, and parking it on my couch in front of the tv for the long haul!

Pool #1 - Top Chef

It's back and it's absolutely my favorite. I'm not thrilled with my pick this season - he's kind of a weasely little guy but I got a better pick than Erica. Her guy is the worst! Here's how my friends faired in the picks this season...

My chef - Eli

Tammy's Chef -- Laurine

Curtis' Chef -- Robin

Erica's Chef -- Mike

Kathy's Chef -- Ashley

B's Chef -- Michael V (younger of the brothers, I think he's got a good chance)

I'm rooting for this crazy dude -his name is Kevin and he reminds me of Joe, Casey's boyfriend in Chicago.

Pool #2 - Project Runway

It's looking fairly promising for me in this pool as my designer won this weeks challenge. Here's how my friends faired in the designer draw...

My designer, Shirin, and her winning design this week:

Tammy's designer -- Johnny

Casey's designer -- Mitchell

Erica's designer -- Christopher

Curtis' designer -- Nicolas

B's designer -- Althea

I haven't picked my favorite for this season yet, but of course I'm in it to win it!

Pool #3, #4, #5 - Football

El Diablo is back and I'm ready to clean house in my many football pools this season. Wish me luck...even though we all know it's not about luck, I've got the skillz! I'm over preseason and ready for some regular season football. Not surprising, I think I prefer the food and trash talking to the actual game itself.
