WEEK 12: Happy Thanksgiving!
11-27-2025
CIRCA SURVIVOR — THE CALM BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BLOODBATH
Week 12 didn’t send shockwaves through the contest, but hey, not all chaos has to be loud. More than 50% of the entire pool rolled with the big boys: the 49ers, Ravens, Seahawks, Lions, and Packers. And honestly? These teams handled business.
Only 39 poor souls got wiped out by the Raiders, Saints, and Bills, tough scenes all around.
That leaves 900 entries alive heading into Thanksgiving week… which is honestly insane. And with each entry valued at $20,798, we are officially in “don’t call me unless it’s an emergency” territory.
Huge shoutout to everyone still standing, including me, obviously. Mama didn’t come this far to get clipped by Derek Carr or some fluky overtime safety.
My Pick This Week
Your girl went all-in on the Eagles this week.
Eagles at home vs the Bears… on paper? A dream….I hope.
In reality? I’m freaking the f*** out. Like actually guys my heart is racing. I can't focus on anything this game just needs to happen.
This is the NFL. Nothing is safe. But we move.
FLY. EAGLES. FLY.
If Philly could do me the courtesy of not playing down to their opponent for literally one Sunday, that would be gorgeous.
CIRCA MILLIONS — THE HIGH HIGHS + LOW LOWS
WCP Took Some Hits This Week
Our guy THEMIND97 was sitting pretty in third place… and then Week 12 destroyed them. They are now tied for 25th place with a 38-21-1 record. BUT, we’ve still got plenty of runway left. This contest is a marathon, not a sprint, and we’ve seen crazier comebacks than this. We're not panicking.
The Bright Side? WE ARE EATING IN Q3.
We’ve got three WCP clients all tied for 7th place in the Q3 standings:
- LOUISVILLE LIP
- SHOTS OF JAGER
- TEAM MARZOTTO
My Chase for the Bobby Prize… help.
So I really thought going 0-5 every week was going to be easy.
Like… painfully easy. I was wrong. I am 6-8-1, which is basically “mid” in the race for intentional failure. I need to rethink my entire identity and also my Q4 strategy.
THANKSGIVING WEEK — THE GAUNTLET
Reminder: Thanksgiving week counts as a full week, and every submission was due Wednesday night at 10pm. Which means…
Now we wait.
We sit.
We breathe into paper bags.
We maybe cry a little bit depending how early the Lions ruin things.
This is hands-down the most stressful week of the contest every single year.
So to everyone still alive in Survivor or chasing cash in Millions:
Good luck.
Good vibes.
And may your teams NOT be the ones that ruin your holiday.
See you all on the other side of this turkey-flavoured bloodbath.
