QT denies fling with elevator operator during surprise ride to the top

When you've picked a team that everyone else picked against, you know you might be in trouble.  And when you've chosen three teams that everyone else avoided like the plague, you're almost certain to go down in flames.  Start waving the white flag because you're in an express elevator to the cellar.

But QT believed none of that in Week 7 as she confidently went solo with three teams.  She remarkably sent the elevator in the other direction, lifting her to the top spot with an 8-5 record above her five competitors.  Although her Broncos fell a touchdown short in Minnesota, her Bengals were dominant at home against the Ravens, and her Saints crushed the host Falcons.

Maybe it was the unpredictability of the NFL that gave QT a chance, or maybe it was a male elevator operator who changed the direction of the ride once he laid eyes on cute QT.  After all, she is working out at Curves, and she was sporting a fabulous new haircut that day.

"I saw her walk into the elevator with my own eyes, and the arrow was definitely pointing down," said a stalker who admits to being in the vicinity of QT much too often.  "There's no doubt in my mind she was headed to the basement level.  How that elevator turned on a dime is beyond me."

Blaine was waiting at the basement level with a pathetic 5-8 record, and he reported that QT never arrived.  "I'm sure the door didn't open down here because I've been by myself for quite some time now," he said.

Another anonymous source confirmed the elevator operator was in fact a man.  He appeared to be in his late 20s with messy hair, somewhat resembling "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest.

"I've never before seen that particular elevator at the top floor," the source said.  "I was on the upper level when QT stepped off, and the elevator operator was totally scoping her out and had a big grin on his face.  He seemed quite happy to be taking QT wherever she wanted to go."

Although QT has no history of taking advantage of drooling men, she is known to have a passion for guys who look like Ryan Seacrest.  But QT says she plays by the rules, and did nothing but stand quietly in the elevator.

"Yes, it did suddenly bump to a halt and switch directions -- that was really nice," QT said.  "I figured those Bengals players had grabbed the chain and were hoisting me up.  You know those beefy football players can be quite powerful."

Outside of QT and Blaine's reversed records, everyone else ended up with an average finish on Sunday.  D.J., Nicki and Mark were all 7-6, and Ali was 6-7.  Mark maintained his one-game lead on defending Picks champion Girlie in the overall standings.
