here are the accumulated points going into episode 9 ...

current points & other admin stuff...

• admin stuff:
  
• EVERYONE pick your FINAL 3 practice picks **and** just in case, pick a 4th designer. (we'll figure out what the 4th is all about later.)
  
  
• the pecking order of pr5air peeps ...
• shades = 9.75
  
• commish = 9.00
• sactofloyd = 8.50
• cobra kai = 7.75
• su/sd & fashionista = 6.50
  
• ponytail = 6.25
  
• wcdbunny = 5.25

• tree = 4.00
  
• buzz = 3.00
  
• l.a.g. = 2.75

epi9 point system ... FINAL 3 picks (+1) for a potential of 2 points if your 3 are STILL headed into episode 10. a bonus point of 0.50 if your +1 also is still headed into epi10. and with the traditional point system, this means the potential for 5.50 (five point five) points as follows:

• 3 points [=] predict correct winner **AND** loser
• 1 point [=] predict correct winner **ONLY**
• 1 point [=] predict correct loser **ONLY**
• 2 points [=] **ALL 3** of your "final 3" are still standing. in other words, you do not have the loser in your "practice picks"
• 0.50 point [=] your +1 is still standing.

designers that remain: just eight to pick from - | blayne | jerell | joe | kenley | korto | leanne | suede | terri |
