If rodrodman and deadeye both miss with their show picks, it opens things up for the other 3 18/18's.
deadeye got the win and splits the prize with rodrodman, both of them with 19/19 and 10 wins.

Win Streak:
3 players have a chance at this prize. 2 are at 6/6. But if they can't find a winner today, the prize will go to JoeCat, who has a dead streak of 6 wins, but would win on the 'most wins' tiebreaker with 12.
None of the 3 who were at 6/6 could extend the streak, so JoeCat wins the prize money.

Quote:
Total Wins:
3 players have a chance to win this, including, again, JoeCat. He and another player have 12 wins; one player has 11.
JoeCat won this one, too. Two players had 12 wins, but JoeCat had one more Place.

Quote:
Total Places:
4 players have a chance to win a piece of this; 2 with 10 places and 2 with 9 places. Those with 9 can only get a share if neither of the top 2 picks up another place today AND they themselves pick a winner today.
The 2 with 10 weren't able to add one, nor did the 2 with 9 who had a shot. The tie-breaker rules are written so poorly that I can't tell who won.

Quote:
Biggest Win Payout:
15 players are tied with 97.20, but only 2 have a chance at the prize. Tiebreaker is longest show streak.
kriskring3 has a dead streak of 8 and is guaranteed at least half the prize money.
catwoman has a live streak of 7/7. If she can pick a winner today, she'll tie kriskring3 on the 2nd tiebreaker, too. (most wins).
(This all assumes that the 97.20 holds up as biggest win payoff)
catwoman missed today, so kriskring3 won the prize.

I'm not sure why I find Showvivor so amusing, but, um...when does the next one start?
