How the Bariatric Foodie Pledge Grand Prize Competition Will Work



While we wait for the winners of week 4 and the FINAL grand prize list, I thought I'd go over the finer points of the grand prize competition. I went over most of this on social media already so this may be a repeat for some of you.

How to Tell If You're Eligible to Compete for the Grand Prize

When I announce the winners of Week 4, I'll also release the FINAL grand prize list. On it should be:

1. Those who appeared on the pledge AND check-in lists for all four weeks.
2. Those who won their way back on during last week's "Drink Up!" Challenge.

If you are not on the list and feel you should be you have until tomorrow, Monday, March 3 at NOON EST to let me know about it (via email at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com). Otherwise, we move on!

Please read the below instructions carefully. Failure to follow the instructions may result in elimination from the competition and all eliminations during grand prize week are FINAL.

Here's How Grand Prize Week Will Work

The grand prize competition will be in three "legs" (think legs of a race). For legs 1 and 2 grand prize contestants will be given three (3) tasks to complete for each leg. These are things that anybody, with any physical capability, will be able to complete. You'll have a period of time to complete those tasks and a time when you can start report back to say that you completed the tasks (see the schedule below). There will be a special blog post for you to report back on. That is the only place where you may report back and you may NOT report back before you see that blog post, so please look at the schedule below and plan accordingly. After legs one and two, some of you will be eliminated (see information below).

Here is the schedule and elimination information for legs 1 and 2:

• Leg One
• Tasks will be posted NOON EST, Monday, March 3rd
• Report back for Leg #1 will open: (NOTE NEW TIME!) 9 p.m EST Wednesday, March 5
• The first 50 people with valid report backs*** will move on to leg #2 (a list will be published by 9 a.m. EST listing the 50 semi-finalists who will move on to leg #2).
• Leg Two
• Tasks will be posted NOON EST, Thursday, March 6
• Report back for Leg #2 will open at (NOTE NEW TIME) 3 PM EST, Saturday, March 8
• The first 25 people with valid report backs will move on to leg #3 (a list will be published of the 25 finalists who will move on to leg #3)

Leg #3 will be a random drawing. The drawing will take place on Sunday, March 9 at 3:00 PM EST and the grand prize winner will be announced by 8 p.m. EST.

***All report backs will be verified to ensure the contestant completed the assigned tasks. If any of a contestant's tasks is incomplete, that contestant will be eliminated.
