I might be in, but first I need to know how a draft works. Like, how do you get your pick? I'm guessing it's possible that you pay $20 and get stuck with a team that clearly sucks from their profile.

EDIT: First page I check out is Brent and Caite:

"Lifelong To Do List: Travel the world; have a fulfilling, rewarding and successful career; solve the mystery of who killed JFK; make a difference in someone's life; have a family; hit a hole-in-one and host my own show"

lol,

EDIT 2: OMG SHE IS MISS SOUTH CAROLINA

Draft order would be picked from a random number generator. People pick based on whoever you want from who is left. So if the random number gave you #11 you would have a team that sucks probably. If you get #1 you get whoever you want. Same thing as in the survivor thread.
LadyGrey
Hmm ok I am expressing interest, just for fun.
GWCGWC
I'm in
king_tanner
I'm also up for suggestions if anyone wants to change the payouts or anything else.

You never know even a team that looks like they should suck can surprise you. In Survivor the person with the #15 pick won last season.

25 minutes later, having installed PS, reset my password, entered my passport number, driving license number, and credit card details, I have finally managed to pay my entry fee.

Having gone to all this trouble, it will be funny when I go out in the first week.

Cool. So I'm going to set the draft order.
king_tanner
So I basically gave everyone a number based on when they said they wanted in.

1.king_tanner
2.LadyGrey
3.GWCGWC
4.troyomac
5.canuckickstan
6.tehtoe
7.serge
8.Mercury69
9.sinc
10.dev
11.Looshle

The random number sequence came out:

8
10
11
6
5
2
1
7
9
3
4

So our official draft order is:

1. Mercury69
2. dev
3. Looshle
4. tehtoe
5. Canuckickstan
6. LadyGrey
7. King_tanner
8. serge
9. sinc
10. GWCGWC
11. troyomac


Instead of trying to organize a time to meet and do a normal draft, I'm just going to PM everyone when it is their turn to pick. When it is your turn feel free to take enough time to research the teams, we have until Feb. 14th so there is plenty of time. If you would rather just send me your rankings of each team instead of waiting for your turn you can do that also.

The link to the list of contestants is in the OP.

First up is Mercury69

I accordance with a PM I just received, I am making the first pick:

Dan and Jordan (brothers, not lovers)

May their youth not come back to haunt me and may it serve them well in the physical portions...
Governator
Can't believe I somehow missed this. Would've been good to be in.

GL all. Jeff and Jordan definitely won't win but I'm rooting for them.

If you guys want to speed things up and send me your draft order in advance that would help.
