If they follow the rules from previous years, half the women with less than 10 won’t show up because their trip won’t be paid.

Gotta wonder if there has ever been an eater sign up for a qualifer proven to be capable of 35+ dogs who was not selected to participate in the qualifier. I would think that would be pretty frustrating, but they certainly would have cleaned up in the independents.

Cameron Meade interview on TV…seems like something might be a little bit off in the head with this one. Def gives off “on the spectrum” vibes …

Good for Jerome. Maybe he will vault up the standings, win 1000 bucks, and enable him moving from his parents basement? Nah, not a chance.
