It has not been since season 1 (jeepers, 14 years ago), that I came close to picking a winner from the start. I think it was Eddie McGee and Josh something or other coming in first and second, respectively. There was a Chicken George and some girl with strange-colored hair...the most normal of all the seasons until now. Derrick was not only my pick from week 1, but also somebody I wanted to win form the start, another rare event.
(He must be a good undercover cop.)
