Welcome castaways to Round 11 of Survivor: ATRL Edition (Season 6)! This is your first Merge round so that's pretty exciting. Let's get started!
The theme for
Round 11 is...
Musical Chairs
If you've ever participated in an MC style game on this site, you'll know their general structure. There's a set of so many songs. But one must get eliminated each round. So, people choose song by song until one is the odd one out and therefore eliminated. That is the basis for this round.
This round is one of my favorites to complete. It's easy for the castaways and also fun to announce results for. You will each pick an artist. It can literally be any known artist though I recommend someone with at least three bodies of work as you'll have much more options to choose from. It does not have to be a former or current major pop girl. You can choose someone more B-rate in the music industry if you'd like. It can even be a male, but you'll soon see why that may put you at a disadvantage depending on the guy you choose. The artist should be someone that a general ATRL member is at least somewhat familiar with as the judges will be comparing the artists and it's sort of hard to compare an artist you don't know to one you do. Also, no groups.
This round has 12 parts to it. But, don't freak out on me! They're very small parts that are easy to compile. They range from "Best Album Cover" to "Best Red Carpet Look" (why choosing a male artist may be an issue). For each part, you'll submit a picture or video and the judges will rank you from favorite to least favorite. The person with the lowest average rank will be eliminated from the round. This process continues until only one remains. This round is not cumulative. The goal is to simply not come in last any part, much like a regular MC. Last castaway standing wins immunity.
Yes, this this round is more subjective than other rounds. But, at this point in the game, only one of you is getting immunity anyway so it's not like it can alter the tide of the game completely. Also, we still look at the entries in an objective manner in the sense that if you choose one of our faves, we're not just going to rank them first every part. We'll look at each entry for what it is.
Below will be the twelve parts that make up the whole round.
The Parts:
P1: Best Album Cover
Attach a picture of your chosen artist's best album cover. It needs to be an official cover.
P2: Best Red Carpet Look
Attach a picture of your artist's best red carpet look. No, the carpet does not have to be red. Also include the name of the event your artist was attending in the picture.
P3: Worst Live Performance
Even those we stan sometimes produce performances we wish never existed. Send a youtube video of that performance.
P4: Worst Single Cover
Send a picture of your artist's worst single cover. Again, it needs to be official whether a standard, promo, or limited release single.
P5: Best Collaboration
Send a youtube video of your artist's best collaboration.
P6: Best Magazine Cover
Send a picture of your artist's best magazine cover. I don't care what region the magazine is from as long as they look nice.
P7: Worst Music Video
Send a youtube video of your artist's worst music video. For some artists, worst is going to mean cringey, corny, bad effects, etc. For other artists, the worst you're going to have to offer is a boring video. It just depends on the artist you choose.
P8: Best Fanmade Artwork
Attach a picture of the best fanmade artwork you can find for your artist. It can be for any track or album you please.
If you're using coverlandia, give me the link to the page you found the picture on because for whatever reason, the covers from there do not copy over.
P9: Most Snubbed Single
You know that one track that should have been a single but for whatever reason wasn't? Send me a youtube video of that track. Be careful here.
When I say it should have been a single, I'm implying it had commercial value. A great song is not always a great single.
P10: Catchiest Single Chorus
You know that undeniably catchy chorus even non-stans have to admit is great? Send a youtube video of the song. Quote the lyrics to the chorus.
P11: Most Underrated Track
Some songs just don't get the praise they deserve. Send me a youtube video of a track by your artist that you think deserves more attention. It can be an overlooked single or album track. Doesn't matter.
P12: Best One-Two Punch
Remember that time your artist released a great lead single and followed up with an equally great second single? Send me youtube videos of those tracks.
Below is a list of the current castaways in this game. Copy and paste this list adding the artist you want to use next to your name. It is first come first serve so only one castaway can occupy an artist. Remember to choose an artist you're familiar with because it will save a ton of time. There's no need to experience a new discography this round.

To those of you on Redemption Island: One of you will be completing this round once you win the duel so keep in mind which artist you'd like to use though obviously you will get last choice. You will still have the same due date as the other castaways so it will be a hustle and bustle experience for you.
In past seasons, I've given a little over two full days to complete this round and no one's had a problem, so I'll be keeping it that way this season. The deadline for this round is May 29th @ 9:00 PM PST.

On a side note, please only send me your completed entry. I don't want 12 separate PMs from each of you. Also, don't format your entry all cute because I will literally be pulling them all apart. In other rounds, you can format your entry to look nice but this round is not one of them.
Winner of this round will be immune from elimination. Others will be up for elimination at Tribal Council.
Good luck. I'll be awaiting your entries.
