Week 8

Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 11:10:49 PM GMT+1

And on the 8th week, some of the BFLGs seem to be giving up. There are 8 people who haven’t weighed in for some time: Thy Error Bites, Nervenarzt K. Sledge, Carpals Solo, Big Human Lap, Team Fool Ambush, Larded Swivels, Odd Bat Mown, Keg Stamina, and Jolly Anode Ogre.

And even though they haven’t been weighing in, Thy Error Bites and Nervenarzt K. Sledge are first and second, respectively, thanks to the mysteries of the Algorithm. Cher Jonc En remains in third place.

We’re down to only three BFLGs who are still on track of their goal to lose at least 1 lb/wk: Thy Error Bites, Jack Fry Revs Fee, and Stop Think Research.

The three who are the least on track to meet their goals are I Robe Jeep, No Crook, and Jolly Anode Ogre, and coincidentally are dead last. In an alternate universe where real numbers may not matter, they would still be dead last.

The changes in position this week have been minor. The highest gain of three places, from 9th to 12th place, is Mill at Dell Clench. The biggest pączki-related drop is No Crook, going from 15th to 19th place.

At least we’re now passed the half-way point of the contest. Only seven more weeks to go.
