Oracle of Unreality

Hello fellow followers - Won't be able to spit out a commentary tonight. Stop back tomorrow. Until then, I will post the email sent to the participants in the pool, with fake money amounts listed (for IRS disclosure):

Ladies and Gentlemen -

Welcome to the Bachelor Pool. It is an exclusive club; many want in, few are granted entrance. The "relationship experts" among us have laid their reputations on the line to obtain this coveted title. Some have achieved this self-appointed status to the wonderment of numerous scorned former lovers. Others have attained their rank through countless judgments of others, to the point of it becoming a subconscious act. Still more believe they have the answers because they "out-kicked their coverage" with their spouse to the extent that the ball left the stadium, yet feel they somehow deserve or earned such an incredible soul mate. However you have arrived at this place, I am glad you are willing to expose the standing to the occasionally brutal but always revealing world of competition. Let us remember, knowing what the Brad will decide, before the Brad decides it, is a lofty achievement.

At this time, the committee would like to acknowledge a world-renowned Excel-ist. To some, this Microsoft product is a Word document with cells. To others, including our honoree, it is the canvas on which magic is created. Thank you, Steve K. Your talents are diverse, and your contributions are very much appreciated.

Attached, you will find the list of participants and their selections. 1st place receives $50 and the title of Oracle of Unreality. 2nd place receives $20. Third place gets their money back. The longer your choices remain "in the game," the more points you accumulate.

Feel free to update the spreadsheet on your own, adding the "elimination round" on the "Bios and Notes" tab. Updates will also be sent out from time to time.

May the best be separated from the rest!
