In the third week of ESPN’s latest reality show, the format changed dramatically. Instead of one person being eliminated from the show, two unlucky people had to be cut. In the first two shows, each contestant had to write their own scripts for a segment of Sportscenter. The third episode placed two contestants with each other to write, produce and deliver their own version of a Sportscenter newscast. After all was said and done, Michael Quigley and Lori Rubinson were eliminated and their dreams of ESPN glory were shattered. Check out ESPN Sunday at 9:00 to see what unfolds.
