Survivor: Redemption Island -- Survivor Game Round 5
 

Survivor Game 5 for Survivor Enthusiasts presents Redemption Island!

The season premiere is Feb. 16 and whether you love them or hate them, Boston Rob and Russell are back!

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $2, 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 $36 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

General rules:

This will be the contest thread for the entire season.

This season we will return to the traditional method of holding the draft. 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 Andrea, Ashley, David, Francesca, Grant, Julie, Krista, Kristina, Matt, Mike, Natalie, Phillip, Ralph, Rob, Russell, Sarita, Stephanie, and Steve. Refer to the CBS web site for more information on this season's cast: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/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. 14. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to the next person on the waiting list.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the Personal Gift 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. 14 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!

Awesommmmmme! I'll start on the graphics this week. Thanks for heading it up, Damfino! Maybe I can get a carefully orchestrated winning pick like Fabio again...

Man, I'm gonna have to set an alarm for the draft. :) So you said we can put down one person. If someone above us also posts that person, do we just post again then?



EDIT: Payment sent.

Reserve a spot for me.

If somebody else got to your pick first, yes. I don't want people editing their original posts because that might create mass confusion over who got who first.

I'll come back in this season.

Think I'll pass. I have no desire to go back to first come first served when the way it was done last year was the far better way to do it.

:mad2:
Does anyone know a way to watch the cast videos without a stupid commercial in front of EVERY ONE?!

Re: Survivor: Redemption Island -- Survivor Game Round 5
 

I just watched the preview show on TV Guide channel...last season was the first one in a LONG time I quit on halfway through, simply because there were no likable players. Sadly, this season might end up being the same. There seem to be some good players, but a LOT of very annoying/bitchy personalities also.
