No worries, that's why we wanted to defer to you. Definitely don't want to throw wrenches into the seasons!

The Draft so far...

lwhy? - Alyssa and Josiah
Goldberg74 - Nick and Mike
CKMorpheus - Jeff “Pops” and Jeff

Still to pick: GatorDeb, Neitzl

Teams available: Jackye and Lauren, Melinda and Erika, Scott and Lori

The draft stays open until GatorDeb and Neitzl make their picks.

Scott and Lori
Damn totally forgot about this

Can I pick between the two remaining if Deb doesn't make her pick an hour before the first episode starts?

Paging GatorDeb to the thread.

This is a bit of a dilemma. I would have preferred that the original 13 players go first. Let me think about it for a little while. I'll respond in a few hours

It gives Deb an advantage to not make a pick until after the episode airs so if one of the last two get eliminated, she can take the team that's still racing.

I will pick for her if she doesn't chime in.
I pick team.....

She's had enough time, so if she doesn't show up by 830 Eastern / 730 Central Time, you may pick one of the 2 remaining teams

I sent her a PM. She's been on the Forums today... just not in here.

I wasn’t following the early draft action. If only I had known that Goldberg had thought they were draftable long before I made my selection. I could’ve saved myself three minutes of research!

Melinda & Erika to finish the draft.

The Draft is now complete.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry JuryDuty, but they struggled to keep up physically.

…and sorry GatorDeb, wherever you are!

thanks to both of you for playing.

I forgot yeah I come to the forums daily but only politics and video games. I haven't even watched the first 2 survivor episodes so I was avoiding this forum and thought the draft was next week. Just noticed I had a pm.

Well at least this time was a bit different and I found out both my team and that I was out at the same time

My famous last words...

You sure you don't want this team after all, lwhy? :P

Dang, looking at their picture and everyone else, they definitely don't look like Day 1 losers.

Goldberg74, really love how you create this graphic with their current positions. Really nice!

Thanks. I had to modify the board this season to accommodate the extra team, so I kicked the bottom zag to the left to add a spot. I’ll resume the position changes (+/-)in the third week.

the firefighters got screwed. The fork in the road was basically a detour and they actually beat out 6 other teams because the singing probably took a long time because of the makeup and learning the words. They got screwed and they got eliminated

I liked the fork in the fork in the road, and yes it’s sort of like a detour. I wonder if teams are allowed to go back and do the other side if space is available. If so it would probably be a bigger mistake than switching detours.

Jonathan and Ana look like a competitive team, but he’s going to have to dial it down a couple notches.
