The DVDTalk Survivor Game -- Spring 2016 Edition

Welcome to the DVDTalk Survivor Game no. 15 for the Spring 2016 season!


The season premiere is Feb. 17 and this time it's Brains Vs. Brawn Vs. Beauty II





The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $3, everyone chooses one Survivor to latch on to before the start of the season. That is your guy. You root for that Survivor. If that Survivor ends up going all the way, then YOU will win a $54 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

Once again this season 2nd and 3rd place will receive $10 Amazon GCs!

General rules:

This will be the contest thread for the entire season.

We will be using the first to post method on draft night (Monday Feb. 15, 9 PM EST). You may post 1 and only 1 name during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first name in the post. If that name has already been taken, you will need to post again.

This season's 18 Survivors are...

Brains:
Peter
Aubry
Joseph
Neal
Elisabeth
Debbie

Brawn:
Cydney
Darnell
Alecia
Kyle
Jennifer
Scot

Beauty:
Michele
Anna
Nick
Caleb
Julia
Tai


Refer to the CBS web site for more information and profiles of this season's cast: http://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/


Post now if you want to play and I will contact you with my PayPal information by PM.

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EST Monday Feb. 15. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to another player.

Bopper Rule: If for whatever reason, an announced Survivor contestant that you drafted is replaced by a substitute during the show, you will get the substitute in place of your original pick.

Please do not edit or delete posts during the draft, if your pick has already been taken or you were too early, you will need to post again.

Screen captures will be taken during the draft and anyone caught deleting or editing a post will be given the last pick as a penalty.

The Borg are not a species.

Love Connection is a game show.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name and "Survivor Game" in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the "Send money to a friend" option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out and an unclaimed Survivor wins, the prize will go to whoever has the highest finisher.

The draft will be held Monday, Feb. 15 at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific). The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

Good Luck!

For those of you who overlooked a detail in the first post, this season we will be paying the winner a $54 GC as well as $10 GCs for 2nd and 3rd place.

One of our regulars who wishes to remain anonymous has contributed $20 to the winner's share this season!

This will add to the excitement this season and thank you whoever you are!

Looks like we're going to get a quick sellout.

6 spots remain!

I will do my best once again to totally forget about the draft and wind up with the last remaining pick!

Why not... count me in.

... and I never got around to watching the last season. I'll have to grab it on iTunes or something. The semester was just too crazy and I wasn't really feeling another season of familiar faces. I hope this season is different.

You're in!

FWIW: I thought last season was pretty good. I even noted in a post that the fans did a better job of choosing the returning contestants than the producers do.
