Whoops forgot to post last weeks leaderboard! Week 4 Leaderboard SaltPeanuts - 281 points Joe McGurl - 276 points Charlie - 273 points MarcusIrving - 258 points JJPI - 230 points Marshall Mellow - 226 points Greggy/Asteck/Fabio - 225 points BeforeAfter - 222 points 9) Ronniehog - 220 points

This is the first time Hayes and Sean have ever said anything like this about ending their show and I don't know them to be jokesters so it is time to get down on those mothereffin knees and pray, my friends.

The show isn't ending but I am. That's right folks it's time for me to shuffle off this mortal coil and achieve my final, perfect form. Logically, there is no reason for Hollywood Handbook, or any content for that matter, to continue without me on this plane of existence. The choice is up to Hayes and Sean but I think they might choose to come with me anyway so ya I guess the show is over now and you guys can all cry and write memorial posts about how much fun we had together

Congrats!

My name is actually ChanGrandad and my son is Chan. Chanson is my grandson and I will speak to him however I wish. I gave him his first boat.

Come on bud. Who you tryna fool?

Nous sommes Rich(e) A quality post right here from a quality guy

Sorry I'm late to the party. Mad day on set! Happy Birthday to my best friend Hayes. I'll call you Monday

This is me right now

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK that was the most insane tribal of all time. Malcolm got boned so hard there man. Wow. This ended up crazy for points too with Tai finding and correctly playing the idol and where the two tribes that went Tribal both ended up getting more points than the tribe that won Immunity due to 8 point across the board game for Probst saying that "he has never seen anything like that in Survivor" and gains from his patented Probst points man. They're rare but when they come into play...folks, they're a #GAMECHANGER Week 3 Leaderboard 1) Joe McGurl - 234 points (+1 spot) 2) SaltPeanuts - 231 points (-1 spot) 3) Charlie - 227 points ( - ) 4) MarcusIrving - 209 points ( - ) 5) Fabio - 192 points (-1 spot) 6) Greggy (+3 spots) & Marshall Mellow (+2 spots) - 189 points 7) FunnyBefore - 186 points ( - ) 8) Asteck - 185 points (-3 points) 9) Ronniehog (-3 spots) & JJPI (-2 spots) - 184 points JT is in trouble now. I'm gonna be so fucked. This season is only 3 episodes and is already amazing. Gottdamn

If I were to listen to any episode of Hollywood Handbook released on March 21st 2017, 7 times out of 10, I would choose this one: Kulap Vilaysack, Our Close Friend Again. It was FUNNY but it was also this: good

Week 2 Leaderboard 1) SaltPeanuts - 147 Points (+3 spots) 2) Joe McGurl - 141 Points (+2 spots) 3) Charlie - 135 Points (-1 spot) 4) Fabio (+2 spots) & MarcusIrving (-1 spot) - 125 Points 5) Adam - 124 points (-4 spots) 6) Ronniehog - 122 points (+3 spots) 7) JJPI (-2 spots) & FunnyBefore - 117 points 8) MarshallMellow - 115 points 9) Greggy - 113 points (-3 spots)

Week 1 Leaderboard 1) Asteck - 94 Points 2) Charlie - 91 Points 3) MarcusIrving - 87 Points 4) Joe McGurl & Peanuts - 85 Points 5) JJPI - 79 points 6) Greggy & Fabio - 78 points 7) FunnyBefore - 75 points 8) MarshallMellow - 74 points 9) Ronniehog - 69 points Congrats to Jack Johnson PI for using his private investigating skills to be the only person in the league to put the first two boots on his team. That's not the goal of the game but I appreciate your professionalism in seeking the truth. Tony was picked by 7 of 11 teams so in reality it shouldn't affect TOO much but scores are pretty close here at the start! Can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out! I made a post earlier in the day yesterday realizing I had only put Culpepper in my final 3 and not on my actual team and that I was going to swap him for Aubry but I guess I wasn't connected to wifi so it didn't post. I don't want to be accused of any shenanigans so I swapped Aubry back when I after the ep that it didn't post. I mean, he would have put me in first by one point but WHATEVER. I'll take my lumps and keep Aubry anyway, no biggie. She's a fashion icon.

WOOOOO BABY WAS THAT GOOD! Was on the money with Ciera being first boot. I think she just came in too hard too fast. If she just sat back and did nothing, she likely would have been fine. Sad that we lost Tony so early but he gave us more in two hours than some people give us in an entire season so I can't be too upset about it. The spy bunker was such a disastrous idea that could have literally never worked but bless that man for doing it and leading to the amazing 4 am army crawl through the dirt to spy on Troy and Sandra. Also, Sandra. Yas kween. Any way, here are some other stray notes. Tribe: let's build a shelter Tony: K GOING FOR AN IDOL BYEEEEEEEEEE Fuck. This is why Tony is my favorite Survivor of all time. Lol at Caleb slipping on the rocks and almost impaling himself on the fishing spear 20 minutes into the game. Cirie: Tai we're good? Tai: Yes. Cirie: And I talked to Ozzy, we're good too. Tai: Yeah you still may have to smooth things over with him. Cirie: .....I already did. Did he say something that makes you think I should still be worried about Ozzy? Tai: ... Cirie: ... Tai: Lol at the first challenge having a digging portion. Caleb is having PTSD Woah what the fuck this tribal set is the fucking coolest! THEY VOTE IN THE LIGHTHOUSE WHAT THATS SO DOPE RIP to there ever being a CirieCieraSierra alliance. Most survivors sleep at night. Tony Vlachos stands over everyone at night and then runs away to literally bury himself underground. I need a gif of Tony army crawling ASAP RIP The Tony-Sandra Big Threat Alliance: 9:03-9:07 pm EST. Truly too beautiful for this world Lol at Troyzan being the worst liar. "We were just...talking about the tide." Oh cool, yeah so what normal people do. "Hey Sandra, can I steal you away from camp at 4 am for 5 minutes, I just have GOT to tell you about this tide!" Lol at Sandra's lie too holy shit. "Yes Troyzan that tide sure is interesting but let me talk to you for a sec about the crate at camp. For me? It's too close to the fire! I would love to hear your thoughts on this." Sandra: Tony thinks that he's the boss but he's not the boss of SHIT. "Wow" - Hali Ford on bearing witness to the presence of Sandra-Diaz Twine. JT: Tai's going to have to decide whether he's here for a million dollars or to marry chickens. I love JT Malcolm channeling his inner Reynolds with this tossing shit holy moly. Michaela: I hate losing Caleb: Me too. We need to stay strong Varner: Yeah that challenge was hell, this is hell Varner, in confessional a second later: I'M IN HEAVEN! I love Varner. Okay, so either Tony or Sandra are going home and I'm real bummed at the prospect of both. WAIT HOW DID SANDRA FLIP THE ENTIRE TRIBE WHAT THE EFF. Bye Tony. I love you.

Your winner pick has to be someone from the Final 3! So just switch that up accordingly

Cool

Challenge Beast: You sexist pigs are all just going for men..disgusting. I'm going for my girl Michaela The Strategist: Malcolm. Homeboy is a challenge beast but also super smart and savvy The Black Widow AKA the Parvati Award: Hali. My black widow and dark horse for the season. I think she has the benefit of not showing a lot her last time out and she's much smarter than she appears. Hoping she'll be the Wentworth 2.0 of the season. The Cutthroat: Tony. Team TV baby! Don't fuck me and be first out my sweet beautiful crazy man The Old Schooler/ Loyalist: Ozzy. The guy sucks at the social game but is a provider and knows how to make it deep. Under The Radar: JT. Out of Sandra, Tony and JT, I think JT has the smallest target on his back. He's packed on some pounds and seems to be playing up his country bumpkin personality and reminding everyone about his big goof up with Russel in Heroes v Villains but ol jet is still a challenge beast under that beer gut and has a great social game. Wildcard: Debbie. Folks, the gal is wild! Bench Player: Aubrae Final 3 Prediction: Culpepper, JT, Hali Winner Pick: Going for a longshot and saying JT brings home a second win. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eQk5ExgPvI

I transcribed the entire episode and dictated it to my son as he was falling asleep. He loved it and so did I! This is an installment of Hollywood Handbook that the whole family can and will enjoy for years to come! I know for certain that the reading of "Episode 175 - Dan Lippert, Our Oscars Friend," will become a McGurl family tradition passed down through the generations!! Thank you to Sean, Hayes, Dan, Cody, Kevin and the whole gang at Earwolf!

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted since December, I was playing Cops and Robbers in my back yard with my neighbor Seth and the police saw how good I was at playing cops that they recruited me into the CIA and their top secret FCD (Future Crimes Division.) I was then sent on a high stakes mission to the year 2089 to stop my future self from going BACK in time to the year 2010 and killing Jeff Ulrich so Earwolf would never be created. Luckily I prevented the crime and I melded with my future self and now I can bend mass and matter to my will. Does part of me regret stopping the murder? Sure. Who would have known that creating Earwolf would eventually lead to the creation of The Wolf Den, The Room Where It's Happening and Yo, Is This Racist? But hey, at least my sweet boys have their show. You're welcome. Okay bye

Alriiiight, you guys ready to get to Season 33 of Survivor? First things first, Joe I'll take back the crown from winning back to back seasons in the Hollywood Handbook Survivor Fantasy League. So, once again, the title of Hollywood Handbook Survivor Fantasy League Champion is back up for grabs! Survivor is back this week and with it brings a new and more robust point system for our fantasy league here on the forums. This year teams may be picked before OR after the premiere however, if you pick a team after the episode airs, any points a castaway accumulates during the premiere will NOT count towards your final total whereas choosing your team beforehand will earn you full points. So, high risk/potentially high reward. Do you wait to see who might be an early all star and lose out on points that may potentially win the season for you or go in blindly and earn all those yummy points but risk losing players early? THE CHOICE IS YOURS. As always, I shall keep the leaderboard updated on this post from week to week. PRE-PREMIERE PICK RESOURCES: If you're looking to choose your team pre-premiere here is a link to a video of Probst assessing the cast that you can get some impressions from and draw conclusions based off personalities. Full cast bio videos are available on that channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWK1JeDrWr4 A link to a page with pre-show interviews with every contestant: http://parade.com/50...-vs-gen-x-cast/ And here is your form to pick your team! Challenge Beast: Someone who will prove his or her challenge prowess. The Strategist: Player who will show the greatest strategic aptitude. The Black Widow AKA the Parvati Award; this is a female player who might be underrated or not so front-of-mind and can therefore strategically sneak her way to the top. The Cutthroat: A player who will set out aiming to lie, cheat and steal their way to the million dollar prize no matter what it costs. The Old Schooler: A player who will play more of the "old school survivor" mindset, i.e. focus less on the strategy aspect of the game and more in it for the experience. (Think someone like Keith) Under The Radar: Someone entering Survivor aiming to play an undetectable game. Wildcard: A player who is completely unpredictable in the game Bench Player: A bonus player you like or think will earn you points. Final 3 Prediction: The 3 players who will make it to the final. Winner Pick: The player who will win this season. Here is the link to the NEW and MORE ROBUST score sheet that will be used each week https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mq_S-wQiOvys-7SDBQPivTcKmt51m2gcIE77Tb2h7OQ/edit?usp=sharing Here is the link to the spreadsheet where the scores shall be kept https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xBhrJWdkWAiekwoeQlgihFYOaTVKjSvWJR7tIw9RopE/edit?usp=sharing Alright, I'll give you guys a minute to strategize...and we'll get started. Leaderboard point totals:

FINAL LEADERBOARD! 1) RonnieHog - 742 (-) 2) Asteck - 734 (+1 spot) 3) Marshall Mellow - 729 (+1 spot) 4) Joe McGurl - 713 (-2 spots) 5) Jack Johnson PI - 680 (+1 spot) 6) Chefzski - 678 (-1 spot) 7) RanRan - 654 (-) 8) Danny Boy - 627 (-) 9) Marcus Irving - 618 (+1 spot) 10) Fabio - 555 (-1 spot) 11) Saltpeanuts - 517 (+1 spot) 12) Greggy - 501 (-1 spot) Congratulations to our own Sole Survivor, Ronnie Hog for winning this season's Survivor Fantasy League! He took control in week 2 and held on the entire way through; battling off pesky contenders like myself, Asteck and Marshall Mellow who were nipping at his lead week after week but he held strong! Way to go! You'd make Probst proud! Thanks to everyone who participated this season! Going from 5 people up to 12 this season was crazy to keep track of but made it so much fun! I loved keeping score and watching the various little point battles each week! This was one of the all time great seasons with maybe the most fun cast ever and I'm super excited to come back in March for season 34!! Mildly interesting little fantasy stats: Adam was picked by 8 out of 12 people in the league Salt Peanuts, who was in last nearly every week, was the only person to pick Adam in the final 3 and the only person to guess that he would win the season! Way to go! Greggy was the only other person in the league to correctly pick a final 3 tribe member in Hannah; he was coincidentally also consistently in the bottom for points. Figgy was the most drafted final 3 pick appearing on 5 teams followed by Mari with 4. David was the only contestant that was drafted by every team in the league If Jack Johnson had drafted before the premiere, causing his first episode points to count, he would have won the league by 5 points! Bummer dude!

I promise I will update all the scores from last week with this weeks after tonight! I super promise! Can't wait for the finale. Calling a Jay win with an Adam, Hannah, Jay final 3!

Sorry guys, someone was supposed to wake me up when September ended but no one did and I slept through Thanksgiving AGAIN! My mom is gonna kill me!! Anyway good ep, good boys, good D'Arcy Lots of love to everyone except Chanson.
