Circa Survivor: Week 12 Carnage Sees Costly Missed Entry, Multiple Eliminations
The Circa Survivor pool faced significant drama in Week 12, with a devastating missed entry and multiple eliminations drastically reducing the contestant pool.
Of the 96 remaining entries from an initial 14,266 participants, each entry held a value of $150,168. Four contestants were eliminated before the weekend's NFL games - one due to a missed entry deadline and three who picked the Pittsburgh Steelers, who lost to the Cleveland Browns.

The Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins were the most popular Week 12 selections, each claiming 33 picks. The Commanders' loss to the Dallas Cowboys proved particularly painful, as they missed a crucial extra point that would have forced overtime.

The missed entry generated significant controversy, though Circa hasn't revealed specific details. Contest rules require picks to be submitted by 4 p.m. PST every Saturday or before the selected game's kickoff, whichever comes first. Special deadlines apply for Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday and Christmas games.
The contestant who missed the deadline lost their chance at the $14.26 million prize pool. Social media reaction has been harsh, with some speculating whether a proxy service was involved, as picks must be made within Nevada despite Circa Sports operating in multiple states.
While it's unclear whether the missed entry was due to contestant or proxy service error, proxy services typically submit picks on behalf of clients when deadlines approach without selections being made.
