24 Contest Winner episodes 1-4

Wow - a good amount of interest! I'm happy to see that you guys are with me on the 24 train. By my Tally (and I did rewind a few times to verify a death or 2) there were a total of 8 kills in the first 4 episodes.

Jack Bauer - 0
Everyone Else - 8

Here is how I choose the winners - whoever guesses the overall death total will be the winner - if there is a tie (as there was this week) who ever is closer to Jack's total gets the prize. If I need to come up with other tie breakers, I will at that time.

FanofReds guessed that Jack will kill 3 and 8 will die total
Bobble Mike guessed that Jack will kill 6 and 8 will die total

Since Jack killed 0 and Fanofreds guessed 3 vs Bobble Mike's 6 - that makes FANOFREDS our winner from week!

So Chris - Congratulations - please take a look at the prize list and shoot me an email with your address (in case I cannot find it) and the 3 cards you want from Monday's post!

The official thread for next weeks episode will be posted Monday afternoon and all comments to qualify must be in before 9 PM Eastern Standard time. I will scan the cards that Chris chooses.

Thanks for playing and see you all next week with another contest! This will go on all season!

Back With a Contest

Hey everyone - I'll be back to normal posting this week.



Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for the kind words and well wishes. Me and my wife are both doing fine and we do appreciate it.



Now - as I mentioned I would be before - I am going to be having a weekly contest for the duration of Season of 24. Each week (this week will be combined Sunday and Monday) I will be counting a body count for the show - there will be 2 talleys -



1- how many people die at the hand of Jack Bauer

2- how many people die at the hands of everyone else on the show.



All you need to do is put a guess as to how many people will fall into each category and put that in a comment on this post. The comments this week must be in by 8 PM tonight - each week the prizes will be different - sometimes oddball - sometimes really good, sometimes other stuff - Eventually - I will put a list on a sidebar for prizes to choose from - Since this week is 4 episodes I will make the prize a good one - probably a few game used cards - I will get those scanned and up tomorrow probably -



I will have the episodes watched by Tuesday afternoon so winner will be announced then!

Body Count

Ok - My guiltiest pleasure is 24. You have all seen it, you know the drill, I bet a lot of you watch it. This Year, I wanted to run a body count of how many people Jack Bauer kills versus how many people die at the hands of anybody else. Now, I do think I will count and catastrophies like a nuclear bomb, only more singular gun shot/grenade type killings.

So after a weak premier movie, 24:Redemption

we have our first count.

Jack Bauer killed - 14 People
Everyone else killed - 11 People

I will keep a running total -

Now, When the season starts I may run some contests over who correctly guess and body counts before the show air time - and I will find some goodies to give out.. I will flesh this all out before the premier in January.
