Karen has maintained her slim lead in our family pool, but Avery has the best odds of winning the trophy. And she’s thrilled about it! Avery has a 41 percent chance of winning while Karen has a 34 percent chance. Grandma and Chris have slim chances, less than 15 percent each. And Grandpa, Damon, and I are out of the running completely.
