Bounty hunters, I have a proposition for you:

Week one has come and gone, and already we've had some surprises. A well-rounded team effort has put Team Pito Cruz in the lead, but Team Wasup, coming off a dominating performance by individual leader Wankrupt, is hot on their heels. Team Cookie Monster hung around with a solid showing, but Team Skip Lange has some ground to make up after a so-so week.

Needless to say, this was the best week in Bounty Hunters history. But there remain seven weeks for a winner to be crowned.

This week's an elimination week, which means the team with the lowest combined score will be exiting the competition. Right now, Team Skip Lange must reverse course and rally to stave off elimination. Do they have what it takes to come together as a team?

As veterans of the game know, weekly bounties are often themed with contemporary pop-culture events. This past weekend offered to viewers two sporting spectacles of particular importance, and spectators were given the opportunity to revel in the misery of the losers on both occasions.

On Sunday, Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Threetles of LeBron, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh. Miami's big three went out unceremoniously, with Bosh even collapsing in tears while walking to the locker room. Dirk, perhaps the greatest international player in NBA history, notched his first championship.

As an ode to the newly christened German-born NBA champion, your single-point bounty will be to defeat as many German MMArmy fighters as possible. If this seems like a strange way to pay homage, then maybe it is. But it's much fairer to ask you to DEFEAT German fighters than to win fights WITH German fighters, so I've chosen this course of action with this fact in mind.

On Saturday, UFC 131 featured three heavyweight attractions; disproving the maxim that "size matters," the three smaller heavyweights, whose opponents outweighed them by roughly a combined 70 lbs., all were victorious. Joey Beltran, Dave Herman, and Junior dos Santos all weighed below 250 lbs. and all defeated opponents who weighed ABOVE 250 lbs.

For your special bounty, you're going to have to imitate these diminutive heavyweights by overcoming a size disadvantage.

No, it won't be ten pounds.

Twenty pounds? That's not enough, either.

To get this week's special bounty, you need to defeat an opponent who owns at least a 30-lb. weight advantage over you. Do this and you'll get a cool ten points.

To review, here are this week's bounties:

Blitzkrieg
(Defeat German Opponents): One Point

Size (Doesn't) Matter
(Defeat Opponents With a 30+ lb. Weight Advantage): Ten Points
