Let’s get to the week 9 line-up…

1. Skelton to win – risk 5 points to win 10.

For Selection A, if you want to use one of your doubles on Skelton to win...

"I ain't gonna lie. I was scared when I first got here. Home of the Damned. Hell on Earth they called it. But the fear was only temporary. I knew the only way for me to survive was for me to just be me. You see I come from a religious, church going family. Who didn't approve of my wicked ways. They washed there hands of me at 12 years old. Called me the devil himself. Now tell me. If the devil can't survive in hell, than who can?"
A (1) – 4 – Field
B (3) – 1 – Garcia
C (2) – 1 – Ishida

Edit
Screw it, I’m using a triple on the Field. So A. (3) – 4 – Field.

Might as well at this stage, especially since next week’s longshot opportunities aren’t too appealing.
