I first thought that was Katie when I saw Hailey and Thomas’s picture. Also CT Has 4 elimination wins. (Shane, Evan, Evan & Nehemiah, and Leroy). Otherwise a fantastic job.
Thanks for catching that. I added in his loss to JB but forgot he beat Leroy on Free Agents
If only CT had 43 elimination wins lol.
Good job. Bananas & Nany will be the team the beat. Jordan & Sarah will give them a run for their money though.
