MID-ROUND FIVE SCORES
A big twist means a big shake up in fantasy. The highest scoring players are our usual suspects: Tyler, Scully, and a slew of original Sekani members, a testament to Sekani's challenge prowess through the first phase of the game. Eight separate individual immunity wins spell out big points for almost half our remaining players, but shockingly not a single fantasy team was able to put together three wins and hit the jackpot with nine points in the front half of this round.
Current Endurewind host Stephen put together two wins compared to former Endurewind host Ryan's one, so Stephen steps into sole possession of the lead by two points. A trio of upstarts sit waiting for him to falter including usual suspects Ryan and Ashlee, but introducing new power player Jamie. Jamie is out to prove that Brian Wojan is competitively viable in Endure Fantasy and is the only team in the top five with one player on each new tribe. Could this diversified portfolio help reap steady dividends for Jamie, or will the market crash, leaving him penniless and broken sitting in a cardboard box in an alleyway?
Anthony becomes the first player to leave who was picked the maximum number of times, and his departure causes big waves up and down the table. Jess and Jen join DK as the only owners left with one castaway. All of their respective remaining players are on nuSekani, which means we could have our first total elimination should the new Milwaukee Bucks tribe fail to live up to the standard of the old Milwaukee Bucks tribe. | | |

ROUND FIVE SCORES
The round from hell is over, and everything old is new again as Tyler and Scully are still hot tickets to the top. Other great picks include Kate, Jesse, Holli, and ... Scott? Hey whatever pays the bills. We're starting to see a lot more separation between the top and bottom of the player pool as all six players listed have more than double the score of MORP goddess Zoie. The singletons sitting out of the challenge hurts all of their scores, but a chance idol find could turn them into blue chip options in a heartbeat.
Stephen holds onto first place and is joined again by fellow production member Ashlee. Regular contenders Jamie and Ryan sit chomping at their heels, but they are joined by a new face. Host Sam breaks into the top five for the first time, probably, riding a collective 5 immunity wins in his 3 members to a surprise debut at the top part of the table. Does the success of other production members make fan favorite RJ envious? Only a lot.
Jared leaves, yet doesn't leave a ton of devastated owners in his wake despite his reputation. Kevin joins the Life Alert group at the bottom of the table, becoming the fourth person to be driven to the brink of total elimination. Like Jess, he is relying on Vic to keep him from being the first to be completely eliminated. DK continues his slow yet inexorable climb towards not-last-place in what is still the best underdog story of the season. You can do it big fella. We all believe in you. | | |

ROUND SIX SCORES
BIG MOVES THIS ROUND! Miller finds an idol and shoots himself into the heavy hitters club. While no team that has Miller still has a full roster, his idol find provides a boost of energy to three teams that were struggling in the middle and bottom of the table. Other than that, Tyler, Scully, and Jesse remain the players to own. Kate's losing streak moves her from a must have to a solid choice.
Jamie follows up a strong round with another solid performance, moving into a tie for the lead with Stephen. Sam slips one point behind the leaders. Ashlee loses her first member, but remains in the top 5 inexplicably. Ryan did the thing. Only 7 teams remain completely intact: Jamie, Stephen, Sam, Ryan, Shadow, Jacob, and Jack.
On the flip side, there are also exactly 7 members of the Life Alert group, as Josh, Tyler, and fan favorite RJ cling by a thread following the Jenna and Zoie boots. They join DK, Jess, Kevin, and Jen in the Danger Zone. RJ at this point has abandoned success given that his last remaining member is Scott. He aims to be the first person in Endure history to be eliminated first from both Suicide and Fantasy. Life is chaos, and I choose to embrace the void. | | |

ROUND SEVEN SCORES
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Perpetual powerhouse Tyler falls, while Nick picks up an idol. 5 individual immunities go out, and Sam goes three for three, catapulting him into a tie for the lead. The only person to keep pace with him is Stephen. They break away from the peloton, opening up a huge advantage on the other five intact teams and setting themselves up as the teams to beat going into the next phase of the game.
Before you levy your accusations of production riggage, consider co-host Ashlee. In two rounds, she has gone from contender to pretender. Although she still resides at the top of the table, her true home is in the Life Alert Group, one errant Jesse boot away from being the first to exit the fantasy game.
In DK news, Holli is unable to give him a leg up as he attempts to climb the ladder, and Vic lets Jess and Kevin open up their leads ever so slightly. Keep your chin up Daniel. The night is darkest before the dawn. We all believe in you. | | |

Sorry man. I've been really busy with RL stuff the past few days and wanted to get something out there. I'll be sure to update the VL on your issues (although it might get overshadowed a bit by our first total eliminations ;) ) | | |

ROUND NINE SCORES
With only half the original cast left, the top dogs remain Scully along with a smattering of OG Sekani. Sean, Corey, and Sam trail those leaders, but not by much. Brian Wojan becomes the last member of the lower half of the cast. His penchant for losing challenges and voting against the majority means he ends up with a lower point total than both of the previous eliminees, Casey and Tyler.
The real story of this round is the hole that Brian leaves behind. His departure knocks out one of the last remaining intact teams, as Jamie tumbles to the back of the leading pack and towards the peloton that is led by ... Lindsay? Huh, that came out of nowhere. She's not even watching the season. Stephen and Sam maintain their lead although Ryan, Jacob, Shadow, and Jack are all within striking distance.
A cavalcade of teams join the Life Alert group, as befitting Brian's popularity in the fantasy draft. Joey, Tori, Jake, and attention-starved Alex are all circling the drain and introduce players like Miller and Sean to the "Please help us we are literally counting on you" group.
Most importantly, we have lost our first two teams. #TeamFirecrotch, coached by Jordan Rosenberg, and Team Kristy Kardashian Kreme, coached by Josh Mendelson become the first two fantasy hopefuls to bite the dust entirely. They will be followed by many more, but let us never forget their sacrifice in popping our Total Elimination Cherry.

ROUND TEN SCORES
Ties That Bind! Merge! Food Chain! Blindside! Big happenings and a long round spell big news for fantasy! Perennial top contributor Brian Scully became the first boot at the merge, going from hero to goat in a snap of the fingers. Taking his place atop the player scores is a newcomer to the top, Holli!
Holli's points spell success for the two most important PWs on the table. Ryan Lilly takes sole possession of the lead as one of only three PWs left with an intact team along with Jacob and Shadow. Those three could all take a tumble simultaneously if Kate is the next to go, which would really be anticlimactic for the season and for fantasy. More importantly however, and I want you all to appreciate this folks, DANIEL KENNEDY HAS CLIMBED OUT OF LAST PLACE! Holli's 12-point round vaults him ahead of Josh and into 32nd place! It's been a long time coming, ladies and gentlemen. Congratulate DK when you see him. Take note of his drive, his perseverance, his undying will to succeed, or at the very least, not to fail the hardest out of the entire field of 33 like Josh Mendelson did.
Chris and Scully leaving spells trouble for those who had a weakness for alpha males, so unsurprisingly Co-Producer Stephen and softcore pornography enthusiast Jack take their first hits and leave the exalted club of unblemished teams. Executive Producer Sam's weakness for alpha males finally comes back to bite him, as he goes from immaculate to Life Alert in one round, with only Vic keeping him afloat. Jen becomes the third owner, and first production member, to join the fantasy graveyard as DK angles to leap all the way to 30th place in the next round. | | |
