Suggestion List Info
As in 2008, SB set up a "smart form" that fixed many problems by suggesting correct entries for characters if you misspelled their name or assigned them the wrong game in your entry. Entering the season, "The List" contained 244 suggested characters and was made up of the 128 from 2007, plus the 64 from 2006, plus 53 who had successful opening week rallies in 2008 plus 8 characters who SB thought had a chance to be interesting and added before noms even opened.

The first two nights after noms opened, SB added new characters to The List if they had earned enough nominations to have a serious chance at making the final cut, until in the end there were 255 total characters in the suggestion form. With that in mind...
