Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fantasy pool?
A fantasy pool is a game where you pick contestants from a reality show you believe will perform best. Your picks form your entry, earning points based on actual performance. The entry with the highest points at season’s end wins.
What makes a fantasy pool fun?
A fantasy pool makes the show more fun by giving you real stakes in the game. You lock in your picks before the season starts and follow along as the season unfolds. You get to see how your gut instincts stack up against everyone else's and celebrate when your picks rise to the top. It adds friendly rivalry, bragging rights, and makes every episode more exciting.
