First, Becky and Geneva called Stefan out in this video yesterday…
So yeah, it’s on!
Meanwhile, over at DTE, Bart is, not surprisingly, panicking over his avocado/portobello selection, while Paul has picked the wonderful me as his nemesis. Wow, really? Well, I’m calling you right back out, sir. Still, apparently none of the aforementioned people have cracked, nor has Andrew.
And Mark, Stefan’s odds on favorite, is still cruising right along, meaning… We all, quite possibly, survived the first day! Who would have thunk it? Does this make us better than the Urban Honking crowd?
I believe the answer there is, “Yes. Yes it does.”
The rules have been accepted, the ingredients have, for the most part, been chosen, and challenges have been laid down. Get ready to witness the great experiment, 12:01 am on Monday; it’s guaranteed to be entertaining.
In fact, some have already gotten into the spirit of things. Heterosexual lifepartners, Bart and Paul, have already revealed their ingredients over at Down to Earth. So has Becky over on I put the me in awesome, which might be the best blog name since “I Want A Pink Zune.” And yeah, I revealed mine some time ago.
I’ll be honest, I had expected Stefan to cruise through the first hour easily. But here we are, a bit less than five days before the start, and he is out! This has to be some sort of record, so join me in congratulating Stefan for his well-timed exit!
Well, seeing people are actually reading this, I should probably make an update.
The Urban Honking 7vs7 is done, with Steve surprisingly taking the victory all by himself. (All his ingredients were fruit.) Personally I was more of a fan of how some started playingdirty; this is not too dissimilar to how I have been planning to play the game. I have no qualms admitting as much, Bart apparently had already figured it out.
What else? Andrew is already gearing things up over at Burger, Revised. (I personally think he’ll crash from the lack of alcohol, but what do I know?) And me? I’m already missing chocolate cake…
It seemed like a good idea our friends over at Urban Honking had. Seven days of eating only seven ingredients; make a challenge out of it. So we decided to do the same thing here in ye olde 509. How difficult could it be?
Judging by the drop-off rate over in Portland, we might have bitten off more than we can chew. Yet that is what makes it a challenge, isn’t it?
Our rules are nigh on identical to those the Urban Honking guys are following; each ingredient has to be solely and purely singular, otherwise it counts as multiple ingredients. (Certain limited exceptions apply.) A carrot, for example, would be one ingredient. A pop-tart would be… I don’t know, more than seven probably.
Stay tuned to this web site for information about the rules, contestants, and more in the coming days. The actual game kicks off June 30th.
