Cubsfan: I think pools are a lot of fun and just something to add to the enjoyment of the show. It's neat to see if you can guess at the beginning of the season which designers will do well in the competition and which ones won't. The interesting thing is that the more years I've been in pools, the better I seem to do in them (on average). It's like you start being able to tell who's all empty bravado and who really has the goods. Or in the case of Survivor, you start being able to tell who's going to be targeted as a threat, who's going to be tossed-out asa a do-nothing, and who people are going to want to keep until the end because they think they can beat them at jury votes.
I hope you will decide to play in the pool! You can use Cubsfan as your team name if you prefer so you don't have to rack your brain coming up with a cute name and after you choose your team, you don't have to do anything else. I'll keep up with the scoring so all you'll have to do is check back to see how you're doing in the pool and if you won at the end!
I've been in pools where you have to answer question weekly, do tasks, work with a partner, etc, and I don't like those. When it gets too complicated, it's not fun anymore!
Haha, I just had a thought...you could name your team after something else on Red Lobster's menu, like the mashed potatoes, popcorn shrimp, or Bahama Mama.
