PETE is a web-based second screen for fans of Reality TV competitions such as The Bachelor, The Voice and more.

Similar in nature to traditional fantasy sports competitions, fans of these shows go to pickpete.com and find and enter season long competitions around their favorite Reality TV competitions.

Each competition asks users to draft a set number of contestants that they believe will earn them the most points over the course of the show (based on specific points and rules for that show), and then compete against friends for bragging rights and the occasional prize.

v1.0 features season long competitions where all players are competing in a global pool, but future versions will allow users to create private pools for their favorite TV shows, awards shows, and sporting tournaments.

In addition to competitions, PETE provides editorial recaps for each episode of each show that we host a competition for. The recaps, written in the voice of PETE, are all less than 3 minute reads.
