Welcome to the DVDTalk Survivor Game no. 32 for the Fall 2025 season!

The 2 hour season premiere is Sept. 24 at 8 PM followed by 90 minute episodes after that.




(I wasn't able to find a better picture, if somebody has a better one, let me know)

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $5, everyone chooses one Survivor to latch onto before the start of the season. That is your guy. You root for that Survivor. If that Survivor ends up going all the way regardless of gimmicks, twists or pandemics, then YOU will win a $70 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, Sept. 22, 9 PM EDT). 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.

Survivor Season Forty-Nine will see 18 new players stranded on the beautiful islands of Fiji.

Post now if you want to play and I will contact you with my PayPal information by PM. For the benefit of returning players, my payment information is the same as before.

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EDT Monday Sept. 22. 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. If multiple replacement players enter the game at the same time, the owners of the original players will share the replacement players and split any prize money.

Spoilers: You may not post spoilers about future events in this game thread either with or without spoiler tags. Spoilers may only be posted in the season discussion thread where standard forum rules apply. A spoiler is defined as anything that was not revealed during each week’s episode or in the preview of the next episode. Once an episode airs in the Eastern time zone, you may post anything that occurred in that episode. Violation of this rule may result in disqualification, loss of prize money and suspension from the next season’s game. However, one mild spoiler may result in a warning, but only once per player. Repeat violations may result in a life time ban from future games. The game moderators and artists will discuss enforcement on a case by case basis.

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.

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, 2nd entries will be sold and a leftover draft will be held a half hour later.

The draft will be held Monday, Sept. 22, 2025 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!

Draft night advisory: There are 2 contestants with similar names this season "Sophi" and "Sophie".

I'm not strict when it comes to spelling on draft night, but for these two, be sure to enter the correct spelling.

To ease potential confusion, I included their surnames in the contestant list above.

I'll play again. It's time for me to win this game again. It's been a long time. 16 seasons since my last win.

My streak of futility continues unabated! Count me in.

I'm in!

I'm in! (and for 2 if needed)

Being a glutton for punishment, I'm in again!

Just sent the money.

I'm in. Sent the money.

All above are in and there are still 9 spots left.

I'm in! Sending cash now.

Sent the $.

I guess I’m in again

8 spots left. Everyone is welcome to play. Newcomers too.

Still looking for 8 more players.

Come on, people sign up. Don't make me lose another $5 because you slept on this.

We will almost certainly have a leftover draft.

Just send me a message asking for my 5 bucks when you add me to the second draft.

Same here. Happy to do a second. Don't think I've ever won with my first pick.

You're both in for the leftover draft at 930 ET , 630 PT Monday.

6 spots remain if anybody else wants a 2nd pick.

I'll take a second pick.

Sigh.

Okay. I'm in.

You’re in!

I will will take one as well, so 3 spots remain.

I’ll take one too so I can double quack it.

But this is why I always drag my feet on paying!
