All good things come to an end. Due to a lack of interest the past few seasons, The DVDTalk Survivor Game is ending, but we're having one last game for the all winners edition of Season 40. Damfino retired after last season, but I feel like we should have one more game for season 40.




For an entry fee of just $5, everyone chooses one Survivor to latch on to. That is your guy. You root for that Survivor. If that Survivor ends up going all the way, then YOU will win a $80 Amazon.com gift certificate (if we have 20 entries, if not the prize money will be adjusted). 2nd and 3rd place will win a $10 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.

We will be using the first to post method on draft night (Monday, Feb 10, 9 PM EDT, 6 PM PDT). You may post 1 and only 1 name during each round of 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 20 Survivors are...

Adam Klein, 28, winner of Millennials vs. Gen-X (2016)
Amber Mariano, 40, winner of All-Stars (2004)
Ben Driebergen, 36, winner of Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers (2017)

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 EDT Monday Feb 10. 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 (AKA the Quack play) as a penalty. This rule will be strictly enforced.

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 "Send money to a friend" option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out, the prize will be reduced and the unclaimed survivor contestants may be selected by the first people eliminated from our game.

The first round of the draft will be held Monday, Feb. 10 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. The second round of the draft will be held Monday, Feb. 10 at 9:30 PM Eastern (6:30 PM Pacific).

Good Luck!

I’m in!

I'm in of course! I'm also in for a second pick--that's been working well for me--if we have extras.

Sure why not!

I'm game.

I'm in

We currently have six people. I would like to get 4 more people before I start accepting entry fees. Everyone is welcome to play even new members.

Count me in. Thanks for a great run of these games!

I added you to the list. We're looking for at least three more players.

I'll play

I added you to the list. We need at least two more players

Took off last season, but I'm in for one final donation to the winner.

You're in. We just need one more player to make it official.

Wow, I see several people who took last season off are back and we have one newbie.

I suspect the Edge of Extinction season in the spring of 2019 turned off a lot of people.

I am in.

I'm adding you to the list. We have ten players. I'm going to start accepting entry fees now. I would love to have ten more players so we can have a full $100 prize pot.

I’ll play... one last time.

I'm in. I was drooling at the cast list. I'll even go double if available. Now to wait until 10 minutes after the draft opens at which time I'll remember and be stuck with the ones nobody chose.

Everyone that has posted in this thread has been added to the game. 8 spots remain. I'm going to hold off on second entries until February. I hope we can get some more new or returning players by then.

ok sure, why not. Add me. I hate this show now but I really liked this dvdtalk game.

You're in. Seven spots remain.

Who was that survivor who was called the monkey because of his physical dominance and always got far but never won? Multiple seasons.

Ozzy. The producers in my opinion tried to manipulate the game in his favor but not as blatantly as they do now.
