Season 1: Celeb Cook Off and Real World Explosion Rules

Welcome to the first season of the FRL: The Fantasy Reality League. We turned our love of watching shitty reality TV shows into a serious competition. Just like fantasy football, we drafted various cast members to make up our teams. We have various rules on which we score the shows. It helps give us purpose to what is otherwise a meaningless task of watching reality TV.

First things first, the league works best with 4 people. As such, we decided to run our league like the Premiership. That is, there is an A league and a B league. The loser of the A league gets demoted to the B league, and the winner of the B league gets promoted to the A league. This makes sure that everyone is always trying to win. We have 4 people in the A league and 2 people in the B league. Most of the analysis and thoughts expressed on this site will be in depth talking about the A league.

Our first season will consist of two shows: Food Network's Celeb Cook Off and MTV's Real World Explosion. Each person will draft 2 people on Celeb Cook Off and draft 3 people on the Real World. This was tricky as we had no idea which celebrities would make for good cooks and because on the Real World, the Exes wouldn't be coming until much later on. Regardless, below are the rules for scoring for Celeb Cook Off and the Real World Explosion. We score to the best of our ability to what we see on the show or what is confirmed via audio. If it's mentioned on Twitter somewhere, it doesn't count for points, has to be in the episode. One note for season 1: Celeb Cook Off was only 6 episodes while the Real World consists of 12. As such, we are doubling the score from Celeb Cook Off to have it be equally weighted with the Real World. When the Real World season ends, we will add the two shows together and have our winners and losers.
