So far, we've technically only got 81 contestants this year. Any contestants on this year's list who don't post an assignment by the end of 10/3 will be deleted from the log. We have over 200 in the group, receiving the emails, who have expressed interest or competed before, and we'll give them all to the deadline before we remove them, so it remains to be seen how many real contestants we have this year. Certainly a bunch more than last year.
