Here on ATRL, Survivor has been home to four previous seasons deeming four respective winners (borntodie, Adr, -brian, & Yvess). Now it's time to begin the fifth installment of the Survivor franchise that began about three years ago in 2012.
How does the game of Survivor work?
The Game:
If things go as planned, 24 contestants compete in three tribes of 8.
Each round up until the Merge is quite simple to complete.
Each round will contain a theme in which the contestants send in a song that fits.
The judging panel then rates your song on a scale of 1 to 10 based on how well it fits.
You as well as your tribe members' scores are tallied up then averaged into one final number.
The tribe with the lowest overall average then heads to Tribal Council where one member is voted off.
The process repeats until 12 of you remain (called the Merge) where your challenges become more complex.
The top 12 contestants become a part of the Jury where they eventually vote for the winner when only 3 castaways are left standing.
Reminders:
We give the contestants 24 hours to send in a song (although it often takes less) during the beginning rounds.
That may sound like a short amount of time, but all you are doing is sending a song with no explanation required. Some rounds you'll submit within a couple minutes. Others you may have to think for a little while.
If you are a member that is often banned and want to join, only join if you plan on not getting banned during this process.
Double eliminations will happen to ensure the game keeps moving.
Anyone can sign up regardless of how many times they have played previously.
The Panel:
Dylan (DillonATRL)
Ethan (ethan)
Andie (Yvess)
Mario (Superiore)
As always I am a part of the panel. Ethan (S1: 5th Place | All Stars: Top 4) is back for a third season in a row already having judged Seasons 3 and 4. New to the panel is Yvess (S4: Winner) who fought his way to becoming Sole Survivor last season and is now ready to take on the experience from another point of view. Also joining the panel is Superiore (S4: 3rd Place) who came close to taking the crown last season and is also experiencing judge treatment this season. Welcome back Ethan... and welcome to the panel, Andie & Mario.
Here's to a fifth season filled with alliances & betrayal: but most of all... survival.
