BABE DRAFT 2011 Discussion and Trash talk thread - Switchgear has taken over

[Forehead]

Friends, Americans, Skins Fans (and tolerated visitors). Lend me your ears, or more specifically, your eyes. For we have approached a dead period in the sporting calendar. Football is over, and with no CBA in place, who knows what is going on there. Spring training has not started yet. Basketball and hockey are in late season, the playoff still a ways away, and the fates or both Washington teams are pretty much decided at this point.

What shall entertain us from this day to that, during this dead period? Shall PCS show us pictures of the wilderness from his isolated fortress? Shall MTH regale us in his never-ending quest for the perfect burger? Shall TK don the Princess Leia gold bikini and dance for us? These ideas are all worthy, but I have something else in mind.

I think it's time for Babe Draft 2011, this seems like the right time to do it, leading to a finals matchup sometime around the actual NFL Draft. This is a contest I have run in the past, you may look here for an example (http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?287564-Babe-Draft-Quarterfinals-Match-2) of how I usually set things up.

I did not run this contest last year, but since I finished my MBA this past December, I no longer have to worry about that distraction. Now of course, I have a nine-month old daughter, but she doesn't sleep at night, so I need to do something during my break/lunchtime at work to keep me from falling asleep on the job. This seems like a most noble cause indeed, and a burden I must bear.

Now then, in keeping with the spirit of past drafts, I will open up this thread for a discussion of categories. Let's not devolve this into any sort of arguing, Christ knows we've had way too much of it in the past, arguing about how old pictures are and such. There is nothing on the line here except pride, not even a special avatar, and we're supposed to be celebrating the beauty of women most of us could never hope to attain.

I will open the contest to 32 people to start, in the spirit of having it be tournament style. As with past precedent, if there is enough interest, we can bump it up to something like 40, which would mean teams 25-40 would be involved in play-in games with each other for the right to enter the field of 32. If there is significant interest, we can make it a 64 team field, but I do not anticipate that.

Further, it is my policy to give priority to known Tailgate commodities over newer folks I don't recognize. This may seem unfair, but I don't have the time or the inclination to PM people repeatedly, harassing them to make picks, submit pictures, etc. Build yourself up a reputation for being on the boards frequently and enter next year. Someone like Predicto is getting the nod over SkinsFan2326756 who joined in December of 2010, unless you can make a really good case for yourself.

Lastly, do not post pictures in this thread. DO NOT DO IT. I am firmly against the idea of "You should have picked xxx" type posts. Giving away someone else's potential sleeper picks, etc will not be tolerated, and I will remove you from the tournament and give your spot to someone else if there are repeated violations of this rule.

With that being said, let's enjoy ourselves gentlemen (and the ladies who wish to participate)

Athletic women needs to be a category.

I am down to get in the mix. A famous MILF category would be fun.

I'm in & I'm going to make it past round 1 this year. That certainly means no drafting Pink :ols:

Good call, but who would be the judge of who would be condsidered "athletic"? Are we talking legitimate athletes, or just women that look athletic?

there should be a butter face category

There will be no athlete category this year. There were too many arguments concerning WWE Divas and other fringe activites (hot pool players, hot bowlers, whatever) to make me consider reopening that can of worms.

This is supposed to be more about fun and less about winning, but your frustration is understandable. Maybe we should have a "Girls of MySpace" category that would eliminate such things. :Ols:

If you choose to officially write "I'm in" then let me know.

[Hubbs]

I'm in. And I say we have one category of women strictly from Sudan. :silly:

In all seriousness, I'd say news anchors/reporters/news hosts of some sort might be a good one.

:pfft:

In all seriousness, if it's a factor then it's a factor for everyone. Gotta figure out how the winning teams were picked.

[Titaw]

I've watched this for years and it's time, I'm in.

I like the idea of a relatively unknown category, a butterface category, and traditional celeb. beauty category.

- relatively unknown is like the "girls of Myspace" idea, but it may travel down the "creepy" road because some chicks that are unearthed in that process may not be of an appropriate age so I don't know if this is a good idea
- butterface category would be great, we would only say the name in the draft, in the competition rounds we post pics with blacked out faces.
- traditional celeb. beauty is ANY chick is up for grabs

[Hubbs]

- relatively unknown is like the "girls of Myspace" idea, but it may travel down the "creepy" road because some chicks that are unearthed in that process may not be of an appropriate age so I don't know if this is a good idea

I don't know if randomly putting together a big thread full of pictures of random girls nobody knows is a good idea.


- butterface category would be great, we would only say the name in the draft, in the competition rounds we post pics with blacked out faces.

This is actually a brilliant way of doing that. I read the butterface suggestion and thought, "Okay, so how do you figure out who meets the butterface standard? That would only up more bickering." But if you just black out the face entirely, it isn't a problem.

[Forehead]

A few quick things. While you are not posting pictures, don't you think a few of you might be violating the rules by discussing potential picks? Something to thing about.

And we can't do a butterface category; it's too subjective. For instance, I could pick Angelina Jolie for that category and claim I think she has an ugly face. Most people will disagree, maybe a few will agree, and then what? A vote to determine whether she qualifies? It'll make things drag...we ran into that problem with the athlete category. If there is any interpretation possible, rest assured someone on this board will open the can of worms.

The age categories (29 and under, 30 and over) have always been good staples to build off of. It's just finding one or two other categories to round out the competition.

[Heidenreich]

I'm with you BLTO. I get hosed every year against overrated skanks.

[styx491]

I'd be down for a part in this! I've always loved following this thread every year.

I'd say the woman has to be an actual athlete to keep the category legit.

[Kosher Ham]

[Forehead]

Shouldn't the categories be the first thing figured out ?

Two of them will be aged based, then we'll have another 1 or 2 categories that have changed each year. We might go back to some old ones (I remember classic celebrities was popular, as well as music chicks, etc). But when it boils down to it, I'm going to use my position running this thing to veto any category that's going to give me a migrane, like athletes. I still can't believe how much of an argument ensued over WWE divas.

[Sticksboi05]

Athletes sucked IMO. Too much controversy and muscle...

[GoSkins561]

[ACW]

I suggest over 45, OLYMPIC athletes (from 2008 or 2009), and any hottie.

[Pick6]

I like the Reality TV star idea over music chick.

[ACW]

That may work, but anyone picking Snooki is DQd :ols:

[skinfan2k]

I have a suggestion instead of a traditional march madness style bracket. We have what 32 teams? So maybe add 4 more teams to make it 36? we have 6 matchups with 1 particular category. Top 3 advance from that matchup. We do that for each of the particular categories. Lets say we have 4 categories. Each of them represent the final four of each category at the end

for example swimsuit model category
girl 1 team a
girl 2 team b
girl 3 team c
girl 4 team d
girl 5 team e
girl 6 team f

top 3 teams advance

[GoSkins561]

I suggest over 45, OLYMPIC athletes (from 2008 or 2009), and any hottie.


They played the Olympics in 2009? :doh: :p

[UNC-Skins]

over 45 as a possibility? i might have to enlist some help from some of my elders.

edit: they played the olympics? :doh:
:pfft:

[ACW]

They played the Olympics in 2009? :doh: :pEr, make that '10 :ols:

And as for 45 and over, I can think of three off the top of my head (one over 50).

[Forehead]

I'm liking Reality TV star and ACW's Olympic athlete, though I think I might expand the years you're allowed to use if go with that. Those could be interesting categories.

99QB, I understand your point of view, but I don't think you remember how much of a bitchfest that category turned into. However, if we narrow it to Olympic athletes like ACW suggested, we could be on to something.

We still need 12 more participants, maybe more.

[GoSkins561]

The only issue that I see with Olympic hotties is lack of picks for when the competition gets heated, especially with 32 people.

[UNC-Skins]

i'd say olympic athlete is a great category.

and i'm sure the last spots will fill up soon. who can resist the babe draft?

[skinfan2k]

you can do Current pro sports athletes(US only or North America), International, Current TV celebrities, something along those lines

[UNC-Skins]

The only issue that I see with Olympic hotties is lack of picks for when the competition gets heated, especially with 32 people.

I can think of some entire teams full of hotties

[Sticksboi05]

Please, no athletes. Reality TV stars is interesting.

[Vilandil Tasardur]

I'm in so long as no one else gets preference over me. I don't post often, but I'm a very regular lurker who doesn't mind committing to this. This could be really fun.

Another fun category could be Ivy League babes, or Rhodes Scholar babes.

[stoney26]

Oh you already know. I'm in.

Please no tv mom category this year. Thanks. Not a fan of the Olympic category. Like goskins 561 :redpunch: has pointed out, it's really going to be slim picking with so many teams.

Did anyone ever win last year?

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

How about ES Member's ex girlfriends?

I'll take scumbag(stoney)26's ex for the win

[royallypwned]

Am I allowed? I could play the role of the underdog. Except this underdog, nobody cheers for.

[stoney26]

How about ES Member's ex girlfriends?

I'll take scumbag(stoney)26's ex for the win

How long do you have to have that sig for?

[royallypwned]

How long do you have to have that sig for?

Only til the 2nd Cowboys-Skins game of the 2010 season. But I haven't been here since way before then. So I kinda missed it. But it might as well just stay there.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I figured you would go a different route and say current girlfriends and pick ren...but well played either way.

[rocazares]

I want to stay on the sidelines and enjoy this babe draft, this is my first draft from the beginning.
If the work left me some time (I will know it next monday), of course I want to participate.

[#98QBKiller]

Yeah, I don't remember much of last year's draft. Olympic athletes would be an awesome category. I might actually sign up...does the draft require a **** ton of time if you're involved?

[Predicto]

You knuckleheads are always too dumb to recognize the perfection of my picks. You always vote for the chicks with the biggest silicone implants, with mediocre faces, and with the personality of an eggplant.

But I'm a glutton for punishment and am willing to give you another chance. Eventually you will learn. :D

You'd better bring more than your beloved Natalie Portman if you expect to hang around this year.

[ACW]

BTW, we could make it 40 and over instead of 45 and over.

[GoSkins561]

Sure, this could be true, how many photo shoots have they done, and how many Babe Draft worthy picks do they have?

[Forehead]

Alright, I think I've got everyone so far who has specifically stated they want to participate.

To answer Ren's question, I don't know about last year, I think Califan was running it. I remember the first year I ran it, we got to the final 5 (1 Quarterfinal matchup to go) and one of the participants disappeared. If memory serves, PleaseBlitz had that one wrapped up though, his team was unbeatable. I think the year after that was the "Athlete" debacle and that one definitely never got finished. Then there was Califan's year running it. I didn't pay much attention since I was swamped with school and life changes.' Hopefully this year mirrors the first, but with some finality to it. Pretty much everyone who has signed up is someone I recognize as being a regular.

As for the Olympic concerns, there are many more countries than America, and many of them have hot athletes. I'm almost positive you can find pictures. I could probably put together two 32 person teams just using athletes from North and South America, much less the choices you could get from other continents.

Predicto...I understand how you feel, but this isn't the "women I want to marry" thread. Because yeah, being hot and having a brain like Portman's is a complete package. However, this is a Babe Draft, and you're familiar with the Tailgate. When it's your turn, you might be considering two different draftees. One might be Brainy McCookswell, 1600 SAT's, can whip up a nice batch of Hors d'oeuvres, and carry on nice firelight conversations about Philosophy and the works of the ancient Sumerians.

The other might have a nickname like "Two Stacks" McGee. You might want to lean towards the latter for greater success.

Oh, and finally, what's this scumbag26 I'm hearing about? Did we have ex-girlfriend drama on the board that I missed?

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Oh, and finally, what's this scumbag26 I'm hearing about? Did we have ex-girlfriend drama on the board that I missed?

Yeah, he has a hot psycho ex-gf who came on the board and was posting. Angelinwaiting on something was her username...her sig picture was her laying suggestively on her bed. I suggest you find it and then enjoy it.

She's definitely first round material.

she gave him the name scumbag26, and he will always be scumbag26 to me from now on.

[Hubbs]

One thing I think should be stipulated is that if we have an Over 45/40 division, the pics have to be after they actually turned 45/40. When you send it to Forehead, include an url to how you know it's from an acceptable date (unless it's on the pic, I suppose). Does that sound fair to you all?

[Forehead]

That's hilarious Stoney, and if BLTO is being accurate about her looks, I understand. Probably the best looking girl I dated (by traditional standards) had a screw loose, but that was well before I knew of the existence of this board, so I didn't have to deal with her coming on here or anything.

Hubbs, I'm not sure what the cutoff date is going to be for the younger/older category. It used to be 30. Is there a reason why everyone wants that moved up to 40?

[Hubbs]

The more I think about it, the more I'm liking the reality tv stars and olympic athletes categories as our two new ones. We can hammer out specifics once we get all our participants, but those two categories don't leave open much room for interpretation and will reduce headaches.

It also seems like there's growing support to move the age line on the first two categories to 40, and I'm fine with that if there's continued support for the move.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

What, you drafted Pink before? But... but, why? :ols:

I meant based upon the responses of my "Is Pink Hot?" thread :)

[Mr. Sinister]

40 and over sounds good to me.

[Forehead]

We need six more players...frankly I'm surprised Ren and boysetsfire didn't join, they're usually all over things like this. What is inevitable is that as soon as the actual draft starts, more players will come out of the woodwork and want to be added to the end of the draft.

I'm still bitter a winner was never declared for the last one. Plus with school and work I don't really have time to do what it takes to win this one. And let's face it, I have no interest in participating in a babe draft except to win. haha

Califan did, that post was from January of last year, before he decided to go ahead and run with it. They were referring to the awesome job I had done previously, of course ;)

[Mr. Sinister]

Hot tv show hostesses. It can range from sports shows to cooking/game/travel shows, to just regular talk shows, any channel, any topic. No news anchors. Thoughts?

[Elessar78]

Hot nerd or geek?

Fail on my part. I some how forgot it was 2011.

Also are you really going to finish this one man? I don't think we've had a winner in a couple years. If you need help, which is understandable, just ask. I suggest during the draft you have a pretty strict time limit in between picks. It sucks when it takes 2 weeks to get through the first round.

[RansomthePasserby]

Hot nerd or geek?

How would you define that...?

Hot team sport professional athlete? e.g. softball, volleyball, soccer, etc.

[Forehead]

We still need 5 more contestants before we can start discussing categories.

2011 Babe draft already is a fail...... :)

I'll join :yes:...running this thing last year was a pain in the ass lol :ols:...I'm surprised you're doing it again. :thumbsup:

I'm still bitter a winner was never declared for the last one. Plus with school and work I don't really have time to do what it takes to win this one. And let's face it, I have no interest in participating in a babe draft except to win. haha
I believe Sihjin (or however it's spelled) won :yes:...we had the final match-up right before the regular season started.

---------- Post added February-24th-2011 at 02:21 PM ----------



Plus, over 30 (or even 35) is too easy. Hell, even over 40 isn't TOO difficult, but it makes more sense than 45 if we have 32? participants.

That's gonna come across as a Best Photoshopped Pic contest lol..."Didn't she have wrinkles last year??"

[Hiro]

Sign me up! Didn't do it last year, and the last two times I've done it, I had a lot of fun! :D

[Forehead]

Alright, just need three more, plus the inevitable people who will ask to join once the draft itself starts. We can start discussing categories. We'll have our standard two age restrictive ones, which will be set at "39 and younger" and "40 and over" this year.

After that, we've had several other ideas for the two remaining categories, such as.

Reality TV stars
Olympic Athletes
WAG's (Wives and Girlfriends of pro athletes)
Sports Media Personalities
TV Show Hostesses

My preference would be any two of the first three since it can be pretty easily controlled. I don't like the 4th category due to possible lack of talent as well as potential arguments for qho qualifies. And frankly, the last category doesn't excite me. I'd do any two of the first three though.

[styx491]

I'd be down for Olympic Athletes first and Reality TV Stars second.

It's a real shame that Bubble Screen didn't want to join in, and put his apparent "superb talents" on display for all us "common folk" to see.

Then again, it was probably a wise choice to make, that way he can stay on the sidelines and be a good little cheerleader, pom poms and all. We wouldn't him to embarrass himself anymore than he already has, now would we?;)

Well, even being that I decided not to enter, I still have the same chance of winning as you..."Mr I think Dana Jacobson from First Take is hot"...::puke:

[ACW]

Oh, no Kosker? :(
I wanted to see who lives up to his impossible standards.

[Switchgear]

I'm totally picking Michelle Obama in the first round, that way no one can ever call me a racist again. :cool:

[Bubble Screen]

I'm picking stoney26 to win this. Or is it scumbag26? lol...At any rate, I remember the sig he used to carry here for awhile, the girl with the hoo hahs about to fall out. That girl was unbelievable. Plus, his ex/current girl, while possibly a bit whacko :), isn't bad-looking either. So I feel like his taste in women is pretty good.

On a different note: I'm picking Rdskn4lyf21 to be one and done. Sorry dude, if Pink is your idea of attractive, you aren't going far in this contest. Not to mention, you have a penchant for liking mostly rocker-chics or girls with hideous tats.

I also don't see Mr. Sinister going very far in this contest. He's on record as thinking Dana Jacobson (the co-host on ESPN's First Take show) is hot. Sorry dude, you're also gonna be one and done.

Edit: I also think ACW usually has good taste in women (similar to mine). And I would pencil him in as an early favorite. However, I don't think he's very popular here, so there will be those that vote against him out of spite.

Wait, have we actually determined the categories yet?

Oh, and I can't get over that Dana Jacobson thing.

^^ I didn't mention you as a candidate because I know you will use a field of Indian chics.:) While hot, I don't foresee those gals movin the meter in the contest.

Edit: lol Hubbs. Its all true, bro! (and I agree with your pic)

[Forehead]

I think I saw enough support for reality tv stars and olympic athletes to make those categories 3 and 4. ACW, I'm going to stick with the age categories, the fact that there are plenty of people to choose from isn't such a bad thing. There's enough variety with the last two categories to make this interesting. I'm going to post again in a little while with how I think the categories should be governed, so to speak, and it all goes well, we'll set the draft up tomorrow or Sunday.

:ols:

At least I'll be happy with my team, and that's all that matters!

[Forehead]

Alright, here's what I'm thinking, and I need a few agreements/disagreements before we can proceed. Age categories are self explanatory, try to use recent pictures. If you get called out, be prepared to back up your submissions.

Olympic athletes...and country is allowed, doesn't have to be American. Let's say the 2004 Olympics or more recent, that gives you plenty of years to choose from. Summer or winter. One note, the person must have actually competed in the Olympics in those years, and you have to state the year and the sport. No "coaches only", no track alternates, etc. Let's not push the envelope and turn it into an argument.

Reality TV stars...you all should have an idea of what constitutes and actual "reality tv" show. Survivor, Real World, Big Brother, Jersey Shore, etc. As far as I'm concerned, American Idol and similar do not count, they're talent searches. Shows where people build houses or appraise **** don't really count in my book either. I would say stick to the traditional ones that are beyond question to avoid any serious arguments. Are we cool with that?

Let's just say the caegories are set, and reply whether you are cool with the parameters of each one.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Sounds good Forehead.

[Switchgear]

Might want to update the thread title, btw.

[Hubbs]

Wait wait wait... four categories? What, Forehead, are you gonna manually break up every tie by adding up the percentages or something?

[Mr. Sinister]

Tsk tsk, Bubble Screen, you sure are doing a lot of talking for someone who's going to be firmly seated in the little kids section.

And I never said Dana was hot, in fact I admitted that she resembles Mick Jagger. I just said the fact that she's a wild child, and knows her sports, makes me want to hit it. I assure you that I have good taste, as all of you boys are going to find out. Maybe next time Bubbles, when you're feeling a little more self confident, you can throw your hat in the ring :)

---------- Post added February-25th-2011 at 09:47 PM ----------

I'm down with it Forehead

[Forehead]

I'll join.

Alright, you're #32. I'll admit, you're the only one I don't recognize, but you've been around awhile, please make sure you stick with it.


Wait wait wait... four categories? What, Forehead, are you gonna manually break up every tie by adding up the percentages or something?

I ran it with 4 categories last time I was in charge. The way it works is, each matchup is actually 4 separate matchups. U-40 vs. U-40, reality vs. reality, etc. So you could win a matchup 4-0, 3-1, or have a 2-2 tie. In the even of a 2-2 tie, largest margin of victory in any one category takes it. For instance, team 1 wins 2 categories by 20 votes, Team 2 wins 1 category by 10 votes and another category by 30 votes. They might have the same number of total votes, but team 2 advances because the 30 vote matchup was the most dominating win. Make sense?

[Reic]

I'm guaranteeing a win

[styx491]

So just to make sure, the categories are Under 40, Over 40, Olympic Athletes (2004 and beyond), and Reality TV. The tiebreaker is the largest margin of victory in a single match.

Should we limit reality TV to competitions only? Or have shows like Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, and The Real World be included

[Mr. Sinister]

I am still a relative unknown to a lot of you, therefore you should tread very carefully. It would be a mistake to understimate me

[Vilandil Tasardur]

I'm all geared up for this. I also want to confirm the 4 categories.

Under 40
Over 40
Reality TV
Olympic Athletes post 2004

Got em?

[Bubble Screen]

And I never said Dana was hot, in fact I admitted that she resembles Mick Jagger. I just said the fact that she's a wild child, and knows her sports, makes me want to hit it.

Wait...so you admit she looks like a dude, yet you'd still hit it?:wtf:

[Switchgear]

How does the seeding work?

And under/over 40 as of...?

Oh, and can we trade picks with others?

[skinswillwin06]

Alright, you're #32. I'll admit, you're the only one I don't recognize, but you've been around awhile, please make sure you stick with it.

But of course, after all, you are Kosher Hams little brother, thus you have only dated nothing but 10's in your life, although as you have illustrated numerous times, your personality begs to differ.

Sure, deep down, you may think you're dating Scarlett Johannson, the fact that you are as utterly clueless as you are, evidenced not long ago by your bragging that you " Smoked a suped up Honda Civic" ( OMG, THAT'S COOL! ) which probably didn't have more than a Fisher Price turbo on it (if that), this may be more your speed

No, don't confuse me with KH. He's the one that (in his eyes) only dates 10s. I've never acted like that. Don't get mad because I called out your taste (or lack thereof) in women with the Jacobson barb. Sorry man, but she's nowhere close to a 10. She's a 5, at best. And yes, I do have higher standards than that.:)

As for the Honda civic quote. I never thought it was "cool" that I smoked one of those. I merely thought it was funny that I smoked one, and the guy didn't even have the nerve to pull back up beside me at the next light. I hate those cars with a passion. That's the only reason I even made that earlier comment, silly. But now I'm beginning to think you probably drive one of those stupid cars, and thus, are upset. Its ok, bro. Nothing personal.:)

Btw, which one of those girls is yours. The one on the left looks more your speed.;)

A little TMI there Sin...I dont think thats normal either for it to be in your sleeve, might want a doctor to take a look at that

[Mr. Sinister]

Bubbles, I tried to chuckle, honestly. As for dear Dana, as I said before, never said she was hot, although I could see how you misinterpreted that, seeing as you're a bright guy and all.

As for the Civic, sorry, can't say that I drive one. And I'd say no to both ladies, they look a little like Journey groupies anyway, have at it.:ols:

First, you're running the show so i don't want to come off as im argueing with you. I am cool with these categories, however if you do a search on reality TV stars there are hotties from those types of shows that you mentioned, I think it would be less of a head ache for you if you left it open for interpretation. Many of the blogs consider Idol and Dancing with the stars to be "reality tv", who knows if there are others shows that are similar with a different name that might not meet your criteria??

I'd prefer to have competition style reality tv shows as fair game too.

Alright, this is going to become the main thread for discussion and trash talk, I'm putting together the draft board as we speak.

Nice! I'll be sure to check throughout the day. Hopefully school and work are less intense today :D.

Draft board and tournament matchups have been posted.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Thanks again for putting this together Forehead.

Time to write a term paper and scout :)

[Vilandil Tasardur]

Nice, everything looks great in there. I have two more questions. I presume we are specifying which category we draft someone for when we draft them; are they stuck at that position? Can I move my realty star to my under 40 if I feel like it gives me the best chance to win in my matchup? Or are we just going by what they were drafted as? Also, when I draft a babe and post her picture in the draft thread, can I only use that picture in the actual matchups? Do we strictly use the image that she is drafted with or am I free to find more pictures of her after the draft as long as they continue to fit the criteria?

Sorry, it's my first time with the babes :cool:.

Not a problem. When you draft, you must announce the category, and you can't move them to another one regardless of where they qualify. Your Olympic athlete can't be moved to 39 and under, especially if you consider that your 39 and under likely wasn't in the Olympics. So no, they stay where they are drafted.

When you draft, you can post multiple pictures. Some people don't post many, and withhold better ones for the competition. When your specific competition comes up, you will PM me links to 2-3 pictues of each of your draftees. These will be used to make the opening post for voting. After the post is made, you can feel free to jump in and add as many as you like in order to try and influence voters.

[ACW]

Forehead, check your PMs. I'll PM pics tonight (I'm at work; I'd rather lose the Babe Draft than get fired :ols: ).

[UNC-Skins]

Who's excited?

I'll be putting together my draft board later today. Gotta pick for value, not need.

I won't be on again until I get home tonight, so my apologies in advance if I hold it up.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

[Sticksboi05]

So what are the categories?

[Vilandil Tasardur]

Thanks for the quick reply. It's good to know I can use as many images as needed. Last question, I am terrible at spotting a Photoshop or an airbrushed image on a magazine cover. Does it fall on me to eliminate images that have been doctored by the magazines and simply not use them?

I don't know if image quality is so important as making sure it's actually your person. We've had that issue before. You can use magazine photos, Maxim ones are popular. I think the airbrushing is expected, this isn't a draft to determine who looks best being captured by the paparazzi at 8:30 a.m. without makeup.

[Vilandil Tasardur]

That's what I hoped to hear. A little airbrush never hurt anyone!

Jennifer Anniston? #2 overall? Really?

[Forehead]

Jennifer Anniston? #2 overall? Really?

You have to look at it as a positional value...there will be less 40+ choices and plenty of under 39's. Who knows...Aniston has always been a personal favorite of mine. I don't think ACW hurt himself with that choice, depending on who he rounds out his team with.

Definitely didn't hurt himself, but there's better 40+ out there to be had. He definitely had to pick from the 40+ category though.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Heidenrich made that decision easy. I couldn't choose between Underwood and McPhee :ols:

McPhee > Underwood in my opinion, but I don't think everyone will agree with that.

[Heidenreich]

McPhee is a good one too. I honestly didn't even think of her. I was at work, I didn't want to hold the process up. Underwood was the first one who popped into my head.

The way I see it, you can't win this in round one, you can only lose it. Underwood (or McPhee) did not do that......

[skinfan2k]

i think the categories are relatively easy except Olympic athlete

I hate waiting. I am two picks away from my turn.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

McPhee is a good one too. I honestly didn't even think of her. I was at work, I didn't want to hold the process up. Underwood was the first one who popped into my head.

The way I see it, you can't win this in round one, you can only lose it. Underwood (or McPhee) did not do that......

I agree, it was a toss up.

I like Aniston, but I think she was a reach at #2 overall. We'll see :whoknows:

[skinfan2k]

i think 40 and over is where they are plenty of options

[Pick6]

There are many options for all the categories. You just have to do some research.

[skinswillwin06]

I have a long wait now until my 2nd and 3rd picks. I hope my sleeper olympic pick is still there.

[ACW]

Forehead, exactly. 40+ will probably be trickiest, so wanted to get that out of the way first (and -39 will likely be easiest).

And I'll post better Aniston pics in the competition.

[GoSkins561]

Califans up!!!!!

[Hubbs]

Belucci was a very good pick. She's gonna be hard to beat.

[ACW]

Belucci was a very good pick. She's gonna be hard to beat.But NOT to beat...never mind :jerk:

[Vilandil Tasardur]

I really, really wanted Selma. Ugh.

[Pick6]

Califans needs to make his pick. I am ready to pull the trigger.

[GoSkins561]

Califan lives in Cali so it might be a while...

[Hiro]

Thank you all for the props on the pick. I had to fight my urge to want to pick one of my favorite under 39 year olds, but I went for one of the tougher positions with an absolute ace at the top. :D

[Pick6]

I got some super sleepers for 40+, but I will say Moncia Bellucci is a #1 seed.

[royallypwned]

I see I have the 18th pick. Just a warning to y'all, and especially to skinsfan2k and Reic since those are the two who will pick after me at some point...I will be unable to pick anytime between about 7:30am-6:30pm CT during the weekdays. At my previous job I could probably do whatever I wanted on the computer. But I am currently working at a university registrar's office. Needless to say, I don't go wandering around on the internet while I'm there. So apologies in advance. I just hope that Reic's first pick isn't in the morning, because there will be quite a wait for me.

edit: duh...I'm an idiot. I could of course PM a list to Forehead in advance. :doh:

[Bubble Screen]

I really hope Lady Gaga is still on the board at #4 :fingersx:

You're definitely one and done.

Heidenrich made that decision easy. I couldn't choose between Underwood and McPhee :ols:

McPhee > Underwood in my opinion, but I don't think everyone will agree with that.

Katherine McPhee? If you're saying she's better than Carrie Underwood, then I definitely agree. I liked McPhee better as a brunette though.

[GoSkins561]

Califan has been on the clock for way to long, is there a time limit for pics?

[Kosher Ham]

Aniston was certainly a reach. Even for over 40. Good Luck with that one. But you can make up for it with your other picks.

Kat or Carrie is a win. Both are hot and talented.

[Forehead]

He hasn't been on the board in three days...generally I'll give people a little while since we have time, but if he hasn't shown up by this afternoon, I'll add another name to the clock.

[royallypwned]

I'm gonna assume that it won't get to my pick by the time I am home from work tonight. If it does, then I'll be back online maybe around 7pm CT to move it forward.

[Pick6]

I am ready to make my pick as soon as Califan shows up.

[hp703]

My pick seems so far away, I'm really hoping this silly isn't snatched up.

Someone getting a little tilt? :ols::silly:

[Forehead]

Someone getting a little tilt? :ols::silly:

Well let's be honest, they do kind of suck. I'll admit the main reason I stopped listening to 106.7 was Lavar and Dukes, but the Junkies became almost unlistenable. I mean, what were your choices? Listening to JP act better than the others and complain about his divorce while trying to reassure himself that he's a good father? Listening to Lurch basically demean his wife at every turn and talk about Bonefish? Listening to BDK's guest appearances, ever? Or the worst, listening to EB constantly talk about how great he is, how he's "an 8," etc. I mean, have you seen a picture of the guy? An 8? I'm not much for evaluating other dudes, but I think he's overvaluing himself quite a bit. Cakes was the only one that I found remotely bearable.

Really a crappy radio program now, but that isn't what this thread is about. We can always start another one debating their merits.

[Sticksboi05]

This is ridiculous, move to the next pick.

Not that we don't already have hundreds of anti and pro 106.7 threads

I'm not going to argue the points you made as most of them if not all are valid. IMO, you really have to take them for what they really are...random talk and schtick, not sports radio. JP used to annoy the hell out of me, but as of late he's calmed down a bit, I really don't mind BDK at all and it's funny listening to the Junks rag on him. EB however, tilts me to no end with his constant..."Oh I don't really know much on this topic...buuuuutttt, I'm going to spout nonsensical BS anyway"

Pappa Lurch and Moneymetalcakes are still silly and without them the show is nothing

/backtoactualbabedraftdiscussion

[Forehead]

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm not sure what happened to Califan, hopefully nothing bad. Regardless, he's good enough at these things to recover from being skipped over; he can make his pick whenever. In the meantime, I've added Pick6 to the clock.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Forhead, did you get my PM?

[Forehead]

Forhead, did you get my PM?

Yeah...it's a tough call since some of them were probably famous before the show, though maybe not on this board.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

She was in two commercials as well as an extra in a TV show before the competition. I'll leave the ruling up to you.

that doesnt really sound like she was too involved...i guess she got her big break on whatever it is, reality tv?

You can PM me the name, I already have another show in mind for that category so no worries about thievery. I'll do some research.

they cant do that....heaven forbid people criticize their picks when they draft two-ton Tessie :pfft:

Gentlmen my pick is on the board.

[Forehead]

Gentlmen my pick is on the board.

FYI, I will be doing quick research on all Reality TV picks to make sure they weren't previously famous, etc. Julianne Hough appears to be an acceptable choice.

I did some research to be sure, but it is probably best for you to double check everyone. She is one of the dancing experts, who gets paired up with a star. So since we were counting these types of shows I figured she was fair game.

I have a feeling I grabbed who you had in mind.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I will kill you!!!

[Titaw]

I hope business picks up, but chances are I'll miss my time to pick at least one of these rounds.

It always seems to happen that way.

[Pick6]

I wish there was a way to make a open round draft. At this speed the draft will take a few weeks.

[skinfan2k]

When i first did this draft, people complained about the lag time, thus the year after I put in time slots. We need timeslots for draft picks. 4 or 6 hr gaps

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I think people should be allowed to go in groups....6 people on the board at once and then bam, let them go at it. Give them a time slot of when to expect to be called on so they know to get on the computer or to let someone place their pick for them

[Forehead]

Nah, I've run it before and I'm not big on time slots, I jut put multiple people on the clock after awhile. It's been fine before, occasional lag will happen. I notice that Hubbs is viewing the thread now, so if he doesn't pick, I'm putting a 3rd guy on the clock.
