Am I the worst contestant ever?

Post by dan davey »

I was having a look at my place of fourth on the 15 round scores under 30 on the wiki thing. And taking into account the highest possible score and score for those games and the score you get on every round even if it don't count (raw score). And all the other stuff you lot look at. how would the top (well bottom) ten look?

Something is telling me that you want to be told yes, as it would be a cool title... so in this situation, yeah, you're the worst contestant ever

But if you're genuinely worried then I'd say no, Gen Baker looks to be in worse shape than you as the other people around the top (well bottom) of the leaderboard seem to have had more high-calibre opponents...

So well done, either way

I'm not that bothered either way (but I suppose I'd rather be rock bottom than nearly but not quite). It was only due to looking at the different factors that come into it, the ones I couldn't work out. That made me curious.

You made your episode entertaining and funny for the right reasons. So, no, you were far from being the worst.

You're not even the worst player in your football club, let alone of everyone ever.

Nice one! I'm surprised to how easy it was for me to get on to the show.

I don't think you were even the worst contestant of the week you were on.

For whatever reason, I found the declaration of Egypt to be pretty funny in that game Jack linked.

I'm not sure you're the shittest ever, btw. Unless the topic is "subtle attention seeking" :P

Although I do enjoy attention, I didn't mean it to come across like that. I was hoping for someone to do like a fancy formula that would determine where I'd be on the list.

Jeez. I remember that one. A strong opponent could easily have whitewashed her.
