Stacked Deck

The rules of The Superstars competition on ABC were clearly announced. There are two main events, the scores are added up after the events with the bottom four teams going to the "Obstacle Course", the Obstacle Course loser goes home.

This is how things stood through the 2 Main Events:

Event	1	2	Total
Kristi/Maks	80	100	180
Brandi/Julio	100	50	150
Bode/Page	60	80	140
TO/Joanna	40	70	110
Lisa/Dan	70	20	90
Jeff/Ali	30	60	90
Robert/Estella	50	30	80
Jennifer/David	20	40	60

Per the announced rules, TO&Joanna should have been safe. Instead they announced that Jennifer&David, Robert&Estella, and Lisa&Dan were definitely going to the Obstacle Course and they invented a "Rubber Match" in which Jeff&Ali -- who had the same total score as Lisa&Dan -- would get to compete with TO&Joanna for who was safe and who was going to the Obstacle course.

To no-one-who-saw-the-promo's surprise, TO&Joanna lost the Rubber Match and the Obstacle Course and were sent home, but not before Joanna, likely prompted by the producers of this sham show, tore into TO.

I am a big TO fan and tend to believe he gets a raw deal from NFL fans, the media and his team. Its sad to see he even gets a raw deal from super-f***ing-stars and probably a safe bet that the producers are bitter Cowboy (or 49er or Eagle) fans.
