Welcome!!
This site is the Official Blog Site for the traditional "UFB Survivor Pool" (Now in its 11th season - Yes, Fiji is the 14th season of survivor, but Survivor Africa was our first, and we took a vacation during Survivor Amazon).
As we will have at least a few new participants this season, I'll take a brief moment to recap how the UFB Survivor Pool is played:
At the start of the game (usually we start the game prior to episode 3, giving the players time to get to know the survivors a little better), each pool participant picks his/her five "strongest" and five "weakest" survivors. Players earn more and more points the longer their 'strongest' picks survive (or when their strongest win challenges) and earn points when their 'weakest' are voted off (or receive votes) at tribal council. The earlier your 'weakest' players are voted off, the more points you earn.
When the show gets down to four survivors remaining, the pool takes a bit of a turn. At this point, participants in the pool may wager any, none, or all of the points they have accumulated thus far on which of the four remaining survivors will win the show. This gives those lagging behind in points a chance to get back into the game.
Prizes are awarded (see email for details on prizes) to 1st & 2nd place, and - unlike in prior pools - there will also a prize for who has the lead before the season finale (a "regular season winner" if you will) - i.e. before the wagering of accumulated points. Several participants in prior pools pointed out that 'it should be worth something' to have picked the best strongest & weakest five at the outset, so we're changing the pool accordingly.
The following is a link to CBS's website with tons of info about the episodes, the players, the voting history etc. Use this info to choose wisely...
