According to exclusive Gold Derby odds that are derived from predictions made by users like you, Julia’s eviction was a major shocker as she only had 12/5 odds to get the boot, compared to Liz’s leading 8/11 odds. Even host Julie Chen seemed surprised, as she asked Julia if the houseguests made a mistake in keeping Liz in the game.
Congratulations to our user Zach Attack for earning the top score in this week’s contest. He’s one of 15 users to reap perfect 100% accuracy predicting all of the questions for Week 11, though he broke the tie with his high 20,670 point score thanks to using his special 500 and 200 point bets wisely.

This user’s winning predictions were that Steve Moses would win HOH, that Austin Matelson and Liz would be nominated for eviction, that Austin would win the Veto, that the Veto would be used and that Julia would be evicted.

Remember that coming out on top doesn’t just mean answering that week’s questions correctly. You also have to use your three big bets (500 points and two of 200 points) strategically to score the most game points.
