Survivor Redemption Island - week 2 results

Huge blindside tonight.  Philip wasn't as much of a nut this episode, and Kristina cautiously but needlessly played her immunity idol, but it was Matt who was too much of a nice guy and too friendly with Andrea that got voted out.  On the other tribe, Ralph stumbles upon the other immunity idol and confronts Russell who lies about stealing a clue for it for himself.

So about half of the entries in the pool had Matt.  That leaves 15 entries that still have all their picks, and 6 entries at the bottom that have a perfect losing streak so far.

Next episode, it looks like Andrea is out to avenge Matt... but really - how much can she do by herself?  We should see Matt and Francesca duel it out on Redemption Island.

Survivor Redemption Island - week 1 results

Crazy first episode, in my opinion.  Russell's up to his old ways of suckering in the young girls.  Rob catches Kristina playing too hard too fast.  Philip is nuts!!  It was hilarious how he couldn't pronounce Francesca's name at Tribal Council.

Francesca got voted off and is now on Redemption Island (RI).  RI threw a bit of a wrench in my pool plans - it's too much of a wildcard.  Who knows if someone will be eliminated from RI each episode.  So as far as the pool goes, we'll stick to the tried and true: there will always be at least one tribal council each episode and pool entries will get points for contestants who do not get voted out.  And, when the "survivor" of Redemption Island gets reinserted back into the main game, entries will get that contestant back and earn points for each tribal council that contestant survives.

So don't count Francesca out yet!  The 14 entries that have her lost her for now but may get her back.  I wonder what kind of elimination challenges they will have on Redemption Island.  Hopefully they make it fair for all contestants.

Have a great week everyone,

Survivor Redemption Island

Here we go with season 22!  Called Redemption Island, contestants will have a second chance to stay in the game if they are voted out at tribal council.  They go to redemption island to do a challenge with the next contestant voted out; the contestant still standing after a period of time will be inserted back into the game.   I don't think it will mess around with the pool too much - someone has to leave every episode (except maybe the first?).

Well, the pool will work the same:  you get points per pick in your entry that is still left on the show after every week, with the exception of the season finale where you get points after each tribal council.

Rob and Russell are back and they will be put on opposite tribes to start.  Who knows how long they will last.

Pick 8 contestants for each entry you submit.  Each entry is $10, and payable to me or Monique (address below) BEFORE Feb 16 at 5 pm.  Invite all your friends and family and give me an email address to send the weekly results.

1st place is 50%, 2nd place 20%, 3rd place 15%, 4th place 10%, and Last place is 5%.  Last season's 1st place prize was $245.

Get your picks in early so you avoid duplication!  If you submit an entry that is the same as a previous one (has happened once or twice) we will ask you to change your entry and if we can't get a hold of you in time we'll randomize one of your picks (also chosen at random).  You don't want that.

Good luck!
