George Valcho - 2007 Champion

The winner is George Valcho (no not me...again).

The winning George Valcho is my dad, who is retired and lives in Port Charlotte, FL. My mom says, "I can't believe this, he's going to be unbearable."


George Valcho is the first two time winner of King of the Hill. He first won in 2004 in 8 weeks. This year it took 10 weeks, which is about average for King of the Hill victories.

Winning this week was totally unexpected, but when the Saints lost and knocked out 9 of 13 that was big blow. And then WAS lost and took out 1, then KC lost and took out 1. After the early games only The Female Parker and Steely McBeam were alive for first. Kim Parker had DET in a late game and DET lost at AZ. The dominoes fell perfectly into place for the winner. George Valcho had GB against MIN and that's how he survived all the Week 10 upsets.

Congratulations George Valcho the 2007 King of the Hill Champion.

Week 8 Summary

All of the contestants in the winners bracket advanced to Week 9. Another easy week? Or just good picking?

Three second place contestants lost. Swigor-nator #2 - Tim Swigor, and Melissinos Entry - L. Melissinos both had CHI. CHI was beaten by division rival DET. Watch out for those divisional games, unless it's New England. Bobby E. - B. Edmiston did not make a selection.

Week 9 looks tough. All the good teams are taken and most of the decent teams are on the road.
