Let's get started...

















ethaniel

Mash-Ups

Dylan - ethan - Mash-Ups It was a pretty basic idea but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It goes along with other rounds so while it's not ground breaking, it fits in with the whole idea of what you'd expect with a survivor round. "if you need more time, you can't have more time." 7.5/10

Anna ethan: I like mash-ups, they can sound really great so generally I am a fan of this idea. However, I don't like the idea of creating a playlist of mash-ups, that could become a bit overwhelming when listening to it and I also think it would be a bit tough to judge. There are basically no other criteria than personal taste of the judges and that's always a bit iffy. Creative entry though. 6/10

Ray Ethan - 8.5 - I actually feel this is a very good idea. I once had the idea of having a remix round so this is quite similar. It goes along with the themes Dylan has been running throughout the seasons, and it would be great to discover several new mashups for us to listen. I would be actually very keen to having this round.

medosuxx

The Popstar Machine

Dylan - medosuxx - The Popstar Machine Your idea is the most creative in my opinion which I admire. The only problem here is that I don't think anyone but you would be capable of this challenge. It may be asking too much from the other contestants who aren't as tech savvy which wouldn't be fair. It's a shame because the idea itself is great, 8/10

Anna medo: It took me quite a while to understand what your task was about, I thought that introduction part was rather confusing. The appearance part doesn't really make sense to me because everyone has different ideas of a perfect physical appearance. The music part is okay and similar to previous challenges, but I think a tracklist of 12 to 18 songs is way too long. So this doesn't strike me as easy to do for both contestants and judges, because this is also a subjective matter to judge, whether we think a song would slay the charts or not. 5/10

Ray medosuxx - 5 - Hmm.. the concept it's interesting but I found it quite too elaborate for a round idea and it seems that you need to invest a whole lot of time in this. Still interesting, although it seems tiring for me.

DanceForYou

Create an Indie EP

Dylan - DanceForYou - Create an Indie EP Yours fit in with the other rounds of Survivor. It gives recognition to less mainstream artists which isn't really done much here, Usually, you're using pop girls so this ties a more known subject in the game with one not really experimented with. It's not groundbreaking but it would make for a cute round. Maybe we'd find some cool new music as well. 9/10

Anna Nicole: My favorite challenge out of the bunch, this is a great idea. Ever since getting involved with this game I've been trying to promote the use of lesser known artists because I think it makes it more interesting and can also help people to broaden their musical horizon. There are a lot of rounds where I feel like players didn't bother to look beyond the obvious choices or maybe were too scared to use a non-mainstream artist, which was a bit disappointing. This round would make up for it. One of the qualities of a true Survivor for me is not just musical taste, but musical knowledge, and this round would be a chance to prove exactly that. 10/10

Ray DanceForYou - 9.5 - I loved the idea. I feel the whole Indie genre has been dismissed from this game and not been used at all except for quite a few entries. Considering creating an Indie EP is great, and at the same time, we could all use some new music for our iTunes library. I love myself some Indie music, so this is a great idea Nicole, besides, it definetely fits with the mold of the rounds Dylan has been created along the season.

Stevie

The True Test

Dylan - Stevie - The True Test I had to read yours again to really understand what you were saying but i actually like it. It could be complicated if people aren't online but you guys are all fairly active on ATRL so it couldn't be too bad but it's definitely something that could turn into a mess if not done well. It was like pre merge rounds on steroids which isn't a bad thing to me. One of the better ideas we had here. 8.5/10

Anna Stevie: This sounded also a bit confusing at first but then I worked it out. I definitely think it is too much though, putting together 15 songs, that is gonna take up a lot of time especially to judge. I'm also not sure how realistic it is to find 10 songs that talk about the same theme without being repetitive or boring. I think it'd actually be more challenging to ask for a smaller number so that people will have to narrow it down. Then the interactive part, you already mentioned it yourself, it's probably not gonna work considering the inactivity of the thread. I like how you tried to come up with something that references the pre-merge rounds though, since they are basically the essence of this game. Album/EP titles and a brief description were also a nice touch. But overall, a bit too much work. 6/10

Ray Stevie - 10 - I loved the creativity in this one. This is easily the most well-thought round idea and I truly wish you win immunity here Stevie since I would love to see this happen. Proving yourself once again why you've reached this far.

t.A.T.u.

Know Your Enemy

Dylan - t.A.T.u. - Know Your Enemy First off, i love you Omarsus. Now on to your entry...it was a little too similar to rounds already used (WWJD). Another problem we could run into is people telling each other answers and altering the authenticity of the challenge as a whole. It's not a bad idea since it was already used in other seasons... but it bares too much resemblance and the new part is problematic. 7/10

Anna Omar: The problem I see here is that people in an alliance could possibly tell each other which answers are theirs to improve their scores. Apart from that, it's a bit basic because the contestants don't actually have to work on an entry, just answer a couple of questions and then guess.Also, some people might put really obscure answers to make it impossible to guess their identity, which would make the game based on luck, which I don't think should be the important factor in the game at this point. I know you wanted to create a round that is easy, fast and doesn't require the judges you consider flops but this is a bit too basic. 4/10

Ray t.A.T.u. - 8 - We used to have the "WWJD" back on Seasons 1&2 so this is kinda similar, although I do like the twist on basing the answers on the actual contestants rather than on us judges solely. I feel that way we could get to know each other. I like this idea for a tiebreaker or for a pre-round idea, but I don't know if Dylan would use this idea considering he basically scrapped the WWJD round this season.

Kavish

What's on Survivors' Minds..

Dylan - Kavish - What's on Survivors' Minds.. The concept isn't completely original but I guess it would be a different approach to the game and maybe a good one. The main problem we have here is while this could be a lot of fun, someone would probably ruin it by rigging results to come out a certain way... so basically the biggest alliance could cheat and maybe get away with it if they were smart enough to do it strategically. But i do think this would be a lot of fun to do with honest players. It's just really easy to cheat on which I don't think you thought of. I'm really conflicted on this one but I'm leaning towards a positive review. 8/10

Anna I love What's on ATRLer's minds, and the crossover is indeed interesting. I see a lot of potential for drama/negativity here though, and it's also not that relevant to the game. It doesn't require any skills and we're not gonna get honest answers, so it's basically about who can guess what the majority thinks. The alliance could also work together and decide which answers they are all going to give so that would make the game kind of useless. I appreciate you trying to be creative and think outside of the box but I'm afraid this wouldn't really fit Survivor. 3/10

Ray Kavish - 8 - I LOVE this game. Sad thing KT&T never managed to finish it. Your idea is quite similar to Omar's so I find my comments similar also. Would love to see this happen, a mash-up with other successful Games section tournaments would be great. Also, I do hope the original What's on ATRLers minds continue, and KT&T finally manages to resucitate and finish the game.

It's time for final scores/tribal to start. You have a regular average out of 10 for this round but due to the player vote we had on who you guys thought had the best idea...scores will be slightly different. Each vote you got for your idea will add .2 to your overall score. 3 people were voted for so those receiving extra points to their average are...

Kavish (4 votes) = .8 added to overall average
ethan (1 vote) = .2 added to overall average
DanceForYou (1 vote) = .2 added to overall average


That means...
