Bets
Each player picks the Survivor they think will win, and may change the pick between episodes. To score, you must have the winner picked for the final episode; you then earn 1 point per episode for the streak of consecutive episodes you held them, ending on the finale. Max 13, for picking the winner before the season and never changing. Example: you pick A before episode 1, switch to B before episode 9, B goes out in 10, you switch back to A before episode 11 and stay. A wins: you score 3 (episodes 11, 12, 13) — episodes 1–8 do not count because you changed away.
After episode 1, pick one Survivor you think goes home early. They start you at +5 and you lose 1 point for every episode they survive after your pick. It can go negative.
Each episode post-merge, allocate 10 points (20 on a double boot) across the Survivor(s) you think will be voted out next. Points placed on the person who actually goes home are yours. Example: 6 on Kevin, 2 on Mary, 2 on Paul; Mary goes home; you earn 2. You must allocate all 10 each week. Voted out means most votes after idols and advantages, drew the black rock, or lost a fire challenge.
After the first episode, tribes answer prediction questions about the pre-merge game. Get one right and you receive the points attached to that question.
How it works
Submit your ranking of the cast on the Draft page before the deadline. Draft order is drawn at random; the previous season's winner makes their first pick before the draft begins. Top picks are drafted live in the group chat, and a contestant can be taken at most twice in the first round. Rounds 2–5 resolve from your ranking as a snake. Each contestant can be on a limited number of tribes (the cap, based on how many teams are in).
Your round-1 pick is your top pick. If they make it to Final Tribal Council you receive 4 bonus points; nobody else on your team earns that.
On the episode a Survivor leaves the game in any way — voted out, quitting, or removed by medical — you are awarded 1 bonus point for each episode they are out of the game.
If 3 of your picks are eliminated, you can buy any available contestant for 5 points. No two players can buy the same contestant; priority goes to whoever lost their third pick first (random if tied). A buy-back does not retain any previous points. Deadline: before the episode following the merge.
