Assistance with tonight's "scoring"
As you know we are a few hours away from whittling down the Final 16 to the Final Twelve and the HTF Top Ten Challenge begins in earnest. I'm asking for scoring assistance from the AI afficianados who follow these things much, much closer than I apparently do. Here's my "problem":
When we get down to the Final Twelve, generally one contestant will leave each week so it will be quite clear who's 12th, 11th, 10th, etc.... The only rare exception to this is in an emergency or, like last year, when they hold an "America Gives Back so two people go home next week" scenario and we will deal with that (since I notice they are announcing another such event this season.) But tonight four people leave and it's quite possible that we will not be told the actual vote totals. If that's the case I'm going to assign 14.5 points for each eliminated contestant (the average of 13,14,15 and 16. This has worked in the past and it will define the HTF contest scoring process for those who have some of their selections leave tonight, if any.
However...
There is a possibility that we might actually get a bit of insight as to who received the lowest vote total of the four evictees. I seem to recall that last week when the competitors were pared from 20 to 16 it was mentioned on the show that one of the women had received "the lowest vote total" of all four going home. In that case we would know exactly what position he/she would be in and I would adjust accordingly.
So what I'm asking if for any information (real, not perceived) that might identify a definite 16th, 15th, 14th or 13th place finish as you watch tonight in case I overlook something. If there is nothing concrete then the 14.5 value for each of the four stands. If we learn more, then I can make the course correction in the scoring.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.
Game on.
