FINAL TWO EPISODES!
We're following CBS' lead for the final two episodes of the season. This means that you only need to choose 2 survivors for your team on Thursday Dec. 11th! The two-hour long finale is this Sunday night, Dec. 14th! You may pick a new survivor team (two players) anytime before the finale airs on the east coast. Don't forget! There are two episodes this week!

Welcome to the DIS Fantasy League Thread for Survivor Gabon! Once we start getting scores I'll post a leaderboard here. In the meantime there is important information below about how to get into our private tribe so read on! I'll update this post whenever I have any new information. Good luck!

Survivor Gabon: Earth's Last Eden
Thursdays at 8:00pm EST

Posting Show Spoilers in this Thread
A "spoiler" is anything that might ruin a surprise in the current episode for a person who has not seen it yet. Out of respect, please do not post internet spoilers in this thread and do not talk about the show until it has gone off the air on the west coast (usually midnight Eastern time). I know it's hard but you have to resist the temptation to run here and say "OMG! I can't believe they voted off KELLY!" before everyone has gotten a chance to see it.

DIS Private Tribe(s?)
I won't rant about CBS' Fantasy League anymore. You can read the thread if you want more information on what went wrong. We're moving on. It's not necessary that you join the Dis Private Tribe on CBS.com but if you would like to, just send me a PM. Read on to find out how we're doing the Fantasy League this year.

Survivor Gabon Fantasy League: Dis Rules
Post your team picks in this thread anytime before the episode airs. Pick 4 Survivors weekly to be on your "team" for the current episode. Once you post your picks you can edit them anytime you like up until the time the episode airs. Posting or editing your picks after the show airs will result in your picks from the previous episode being used to calculate your score for the current episode. That also means that if your picks aren't changing then you don't have to repost them. They should be changing though, especially since we're bringing back the bonus points.

Bonus points. Just like last year, you can assign 1 bonus point category for each of your survivors. Our bonus point categories are going to be:

Catches a fish
We need to see the survivor in the act of successfully catching the fish. Fish stories back at camp don't count.
Finds a hidden immunity idol
Finds the place where the TV crew hid the idol. Finding a fake idol, or finding the real in a place where the true finder hid it (ie: digging through their backpack) doesn't count.
Plays a hidden immunity idol
This is pretty clear I think
Kisses another survivor
This needs to be an obvious on-screen kiss involving two survivor contestants. If kissing is implied somehow in the editing of the show, that won't count. Kissing during a family visit doesn't count. Any on-screen kissing counts (pecks on the cheek, etc.) as long as it involves at least two survivors.
Says the episode title
The title of each episode is usually a quote from one of the survivors. The Premiere was called "Want to see the elephant dung?" If chose this bonus point category for Jillian you would have scored. The quote needs to be heard in the episode. Being able to infer who probably said it is not good enough.
Brushes teeth with a stick
This happens more often than you might think. We'll award bonus points for this category if any survivor is seen picking at their teeth with a stick. Picking at their teeth with a finger, machete, small rock, whatever won't count. Only sticks.

A couple of old CBS categories have been eliminated:
Chops a coconut - Didn't see any coconuts in the first ep. I'm not sure they are even out there.
Gets naked - It's fun to try to guess who will take their clothes off but it could be a point of disagreement. How much nakedness do they have to show on TV before we all agree that there was true complete nakedness? We'll just avoid that discussion and eliminate the category.
Sings a song - Seriously, this never happens.

When you correctly pick a bonus point category for an episode you will be awarded 30 points. Bonus points are per survivor not occurance. So if you pick "Kisses another survivor" and your survivor kisses three people, you will get 30 points.

CBS.com Bonus Point Questions: I suggest that we just don't use them. It's kind of a "gimme" anyway.

Sample Posting Format When you post your picks we need to know who your 4 survivors are and which bonus point category you are assigning to each.

Marcus - Picks teeth
Dan - Picks teeth
Sugar - Finds hidden immunity
Kelly - Kisses

Remember: If you pick "Dan" you are selecting the white guy named Dan (32yo lawyer from Boston). If you pick "Danny" or "GC" you are picking the black guy (26yo maintenance man from Portland). Get your posts and/or edits in by 8:00pm Eastern time on Thursdays (if the showtime gets moved assume that this deadline moves with it).

Then What Happens?
Pink and I will both be keeping track of the bonus points during the show and we'll compare our numbers for the final count. Anyone here who would like to count as well, please feel free. You can PM your counts to me after the show. Sometime after the show I'll go through the posts for the week and combine all the picks into one thread. That makes it easy for you to follow who everyone is chosing and easier for me to add up the scores once CBS posts them. Once CBS gets their scores for each Survivor up, I'll add up all of our scores with our bonus points to create the DIS leaderboard for the week. The leaderboard will posted as a reply in the thread as well as the first post.

Cheap!
I'm going to be the final decider on what counts and what doesn't. If say that wasn't a stick that Matty was cleaning his teeth with, then it wasn't a stick. In the event there is a disagreement someone has to have the final word so the buck is going to stop here. I'm not an unfair judge though. Call me out publically on the board if you think I made a mistake and I'll be more than happy to do whatever it take to try to resolve the issue. The transparency of the scoring process should prevent any real disagreements from coming up.

What About the first week?
I think the process we had in place last week was fair and some of you put a lot of effort into making your picks. I don't really see any good reason to throw those scores out.

Survivors ready... GO! :hyper:

Since I'm obviously not KrazyPete and can't edit his post, I'm posting an addendum.

Basics for Each Week:

- Pick 4 survivors each week
- Post your picks here (MUST be posted by 8 p.m. EST the night of the show!!)
- You may edit any member/s of your team however many times you want until "Blackout" (which runs from, I believe, 8 p.m. EST through midnight EST the day of the show.
- Remember to post your BONUS picks along with your team!
- PLEASE do not post any "spoilers" here on the DIS until after midnight so as to not ruin it for anyone who might be watching the show late (as for me... I don't watch it until Friday so I'll just have to stay off this thread until I do)

NEW Fantasy League Scoring:
** I have bolded the NEW aspects of scoring this season. Arg, back to editing my Survivors...

This Dan/Danny/GC thing is confusing...

http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/images/content/cast/nav7danny.jpg < This guy is Danny but he's going by the name GC.

It's easy to see that you want both of them so this is clarification is for anyone else who might be confused. :thumbsup2

The bonus has been "broken" - nobody has been able to assign bonus categories.

We'll just have to keep checking back with the CBS site tomorrow in the hopes that they get it fixed in time.

CBS Fantasy site is now up and running for all of you who haven't checked the other thread.... and I was just informed by a certain "someone" that the other thread needs to "die" ... in other words, STOP TALKING over there, Pink.... :laughing:

I was able to pick my team tonight. I'm assuming any of you with similar problems will be able to pick also.

Just no bonus as of yet...

Maybe we can get a mod to merge them or something. :upsidedow

what other thread? ROFL

ok what do you want to happen merged threads or lock the other ? @_@

aengus

09-25-2008, 07:01 AM

OK here are my picks :)

Charlie
Bob
Jessica
Kelly

if you want to know why I am right, heres why :rotfl:

a marathon running lawyer surely can get through the first round and probably is going to do well in the challenge. (charlie)

bob will have his big day. Look at his experiences, this is the guy that will get camp done

Jessica because i cant wait to pick her bonus points for "gets naked" :banana:

Kelly because she is going to be an asset like bob in getting camp up and running

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 07:13 AM

Kelly because she is going to be an asset like bob in getting camp up and running

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 07:15 AM

STILL no way to assign bonus categories. Come on, CBS.

Keep checking back to the DIS today because we still need to get everyone assigned to a private tribe, so please stay tuned for that once Pete gets into the office and gets settled...

09-25-2008, 07:16 AM

I'm so glad the site got fixed. Let's mambo!

Ok, here are my picks and the bonus points:

we still dont have private tribes yet right?

KrazyPete

09-25-2008, 08:09 AM

OK, I've been trying to come up with Disney angle for our tribe names that keeps us well clear of anything like the "The Pretty Pink Princesses." So since Survivor is in Africa I'm thinking maybe a Lion King tie-in with names like:

Hula in Drag
Lovely Coconuts
Tastes Like Chicken
Cactus Butts
Squashed Banana

I don't know though. We do a Tarzan or Jungle Cruise tie-in instead. I like the Good vs. Evil angle but I'm not sure how to make it work. I'm looking for suggestions and I'm looking for them quick. We want to get these set up as quick as possible I think.

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 08:10 AM

Working on it as we speak..

Here are BootQueen's picks for the week:

Ace

Jessica

(I'll refrain from adding my "yummies" to it)

OK, if we go for three tribes this year, my vote is for:

Lovely Coconuts
Cactus Butts (so love this one, heh)
Squash Bananas (I think it's "squash," not "squashed?")

09-25-2008, 08:15 AM

My picks are :

Charlie

I don't see any way to pick bonuses on the website so I'll just say (Tries to open coconut for all four of my players)

09-25-2008, 08:16 AM

how about

"Bare Necessities" for a tribe name :)

although it's a good chance it might be used already.

Oh and do we have the code or number or whatever we need to join the private tribe?

I like that, I forgot about the Jungle Book. As soon as we settle the tribe names I'll set them up. I set up a test account last night to see how it was working this year. When I clicked the link in the invite it sent me to the "register" page. So at that point I think it was still buggy.

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 08:40 AM

Jedi, I really don't think there are going to be those bonus categories this season. CBS has changed the scoring significantly - See my updated Post #2.

In place of bonus category assignments, it looks like we'll be answering questions AFTER the episode to score points for our team. I feel like I'm back in school.... (now Pink... let's see what you've learned...)

ETA: Just went through and reviewed teh new scoring. What the heck? These people are Survivors out in remote Gabon and they are given WIRELESS DEVICES to use??? So not liking that one, CBS! :) (but yeah... Sprint is the sponsor... should have seen it coming...)

KrazyPete

09-25-2008, 09:50 AM

Here's an update on tribes:

I've created several tribes just to try and figure out how they are working this year. I'm hoping that it's just buggy but right now I have to use an old Gmail account to send the invites. The people I invite have to be in my address book on that gmail account. There's no way for me to make a password and just give it out like I could in previous seasons. There's no way for me to enter a list of addresses to send invites too. The links that come in the invites don't appear to be reusable. You actually have to become my "Friend" in CBS' user account system and that's a convoluted thing.

I'm trying to find a workaround still. I'm also clearing out some space in my PM box here on the DIS. If you want to send me your email address (the one you used to register on CBS.com) that might make things go faster if we are forced to use this weird "friend" system.

aengus

09-25-2008, 10:30 AM

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 11:07 AM

Well, I have to say, out of Lion King, Jungle Book, and Tarzan, I like Lion King the best. It has the funniest and most memorable movie lines, I think. :goodvibes

A couple others I had that didn't make Pete's cut ;)

A Monkey's Uncle
Balls of Gas

Or...

Put a few "choice" DIS'ers :rolleyes1 on the same tribe, and it could be called...

Surrounded by Idiots

:dance3:

ETA: Pm'ed you my email address...

09-25-2008, 11:31 AM

Cool! I was looking to see if there's a Survivor thread. I'd like to join if that's ok? I'll head over to CBS.com and choose my tribe. Will there be one or more DIS tribes, too?

It's looking like there will be 3 DIS Tribes

See.low

09-25-2008, 12:03 PM

I'm still working out my picks :rolleyes1 buuuuut...I had an idea for the names of the tribes. If we were trying to do the good vs. evil thing, we could go with a Mufasa vs. Scar type thing?

KrazyPete

09-25-2008, 12:45 PM

I think we're going with Cactus Butts and Lovely Coconuts. For the third tribe maybe "Surrounded by Idiots" or "Tastes Like Chicken." Feel free to throw out any other suggestions. Nothing is set in stone yet.

Also, please read the section in the first post about getting me your email so I can invite you to one of the private tribes!

threeboysmom

09-25-2008, 12:50 PM

For the third tribe maybe "Surrounded by Idiots" [/B]

You're not throwing me on THAT team! I'll be a lovely coconut, thank you very much.

I haven't sent any yet, I'm still hoping for a response on the CBS Survivor boards (http://www.cbs.com/forum/posts/list/19215.page) that says there's a better way to do it.

Amy

09-25-2008, 01:00 PM

Ok, I made my choices on the CBS website:

Crystal
Jacqui
Marcus
Danny ("GC")

No particular reason I picked them. Crystal is the athlete, so she'll either do really well because she's in shape, or the lack of proper food will wreck havoc on her body.

and the guy who's the Nintendo champ? What kind of shape is he in, sitting around playing video games all the time?:confused3

Check your email! Everyone who has given me an email address has been sent an invite to the "Lovely Coconuts" tribe. 6 people have joined so far. I need to you try the link and the PM me if you have any problems.

Even if you don't get a tribe before the show tonight, make sure you are registered and you get your picks in before the blackout! The blackout begins at 8pm eastern (when the broadcast starts on the east coast). I think they will score tonight's episode. I found this in the official rules:

4) Scoring Points: Registered players accrue points when Survivor cast members on a registrants' team are awarded points based on their actions, and outcome of events (e.g., winning immunity) during an episode. Survivor: Gabon episode #1 scheduled for broadcast on or about 9/25/08 will be the first episode used to accrue points to registered Survivor: Gabon Fantasy League registrants.

Amy

09-25-2008, 03:56 PM

Pete - I clicked the link, and all it did was add me to your "friends" list; I didn't see anything about joining your tribe. Are there problems with it?

Sorry for those of you that didn't make it onto the tribe tonight. Pete was on until about 7:30 then finally had to quit to actually get some food. He's been at this literally all day.

It's not a big deal if you're not on the tribe for tonight. Hopefully, you all have made your picks on CBS (tribe or not tribe) since that is what is most important.

Good luck!

No account I make will let me log in. I think I have too many accounts under my name (a different one for each fantasy sport, and a couple while try to get survivor to work.) I cant even log in to any fantasy sports such as football that usually work.

It's a little whacky this year.

FIRST, you need to register on CBS.com (using the main register tab)

THEN, you need to register separately for the Fantasy League.

OK, back to watching...

"I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" is a well-known novelty song dating from the 1940s. It was composed in 1944 by Fred Heatherton, an English songwriter, and celebrates the traditional coconut shy (coconut toss) sometimes found at fairs. :confused3

OK, so here are my thoughts on the first two boots.

Michelle Michelle Michelle. In the pre-season interviews, when they asked you who your favorite survivor was you said, "that guy who stood around naked." If you don't know Richard Hatch then you are clearly not a student of the game. But I had high hopes for you anyway. You were making note of every personality cue you could detect way before you all took that hike out to meet Jeff in the grasslands. In the end, you were a physical competitor but completely out of touch with the mental and social aspects of the game. Maybe you just weren't expecting to go so soon. That vanity cost you.

What can I say about Gillian? We could see through your happy sunshine line of crap from a mile away. You described the pitiful Fang tribe as "awesome," not one time but over and over again. You were the opposite of Michelle. You were very familiar with the game. I think you tried to build an alliance but everyone on your tribe is completely splineless and no one was going to stick their neck out to earn your loyalty. Even Susie (who was your best hope with that "your next" line) wrote your name down. With a 7-1 vote, Fang may be a fractured tribe but they managed to agree on one thing... sending you home. Were you really looking for something to eat in that elephant dung?

Totally agreed. Michelle was a huge asset for that tribe - she rocked at those challenges and she had a very good head on her shoulders (I was agreeing with her every word at TC). BUT she had no clue as to how this game was played (which was obvious in her interview). You can't isolate yourself from your tribe no matter how "retarded" you think they are. If she had only stepped up to the plate, she could have had Matty, Dan, Ken, and Randy very easily in an alliance - and then knock out Gillian and Susie and then maybe have a chance at winning some challenges from that point on. Oh well....

Gillian... what can I say. She annoyed the heck out of me!! Although she did crack me up with the whole elephant dung thing... I was seriously sitting there laughing out loud... and then Susie sniffing at it... OMG! ROFL! :rotfl2:

The red tribe is seriously something out of a National Lampoon movie... :rolleyes: However, they did give me loads of entertainment. :thumbsup2

And can I just say.... BOB WAS AWESOME!!! I liked him before it even started, but wow, he totally earned my respect and admiration last night.

Just was lurking about the Survivor Fantasy boards...needed to trade Gillian off since she bombed so awfully last night... everything is down again... no tribes showing, no teams, no trades, no nothing.

So I was wandering about the message boards and find this post...

"Survivor Fantasy is broke. CBS has messed it up, and that is why they havent posted any scores, plus the bonus question will not be posted, because they are having HUGE problems. Too many people were not able to register or create a league, so CBS is trying to fix the problem. To make it fair for everyone they have decided that it wont officially begin until next week. "

Who knows how correct this fellow is, or if he's just blowing smoke, but sounds about right to me...

The Bonus Question will always be a "review" question from the previous night's episode. No need to watch extra videos... that comes with the Ponderosa questions that don't start until November, I believe, and someting entirely different than the Bonus Question.

Think back to when Marcus was talking to Charlie about being in his "inner circle" and then adding Jacque in... and then adding Corinne in...

Psst... I just felt like this needed to be done:

I am the very model of a modern Lovely Coconut,
I've information Gabon, Palau, Fans vs. Faves and animal butt
I know the sole survivors, and I quote the fights historical
From John Fairplay to "rats and snakes", in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with reward challenges and such,
I understand the councils, though the voting may be a bit much,
About the spoilers of the show I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the Exile Island motor cruise.

I'm very good at integral and differential alliance-works;
I vote for player of the week and get the bonus question perks:
In short, in matters Gabon, Palau, Fans vs. Faves, and animal butt,
I am the very model of a modern Lovely Coconut.

The answer would be no. I just posted the scores. You can't look at that and then make your picks.

We're not doing the individual scoring... CBS is. If you didn't make your picks directly onto the CBS site, you're out of luck for now.

Hopefully, you can get it all ironed out before the next episode. :thumbsup2

I apologize, Taz. I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I just went back a few pages and found an older post by you where you had already listed your picks. So yes, add up your score and post it for us. You can be the first since CBS hasn't tallied ours yet...

Your total (269) is the compiled total of all challenges/scoring that took place (minus any deductions).

The only thing it's missing is the 30 points from answering the Bonus Question correctly (if you did). If I'm understanding the CBS website correctly, the bonus points won't be added to our score until NEXT week.

threeboysmom

09-26-2008, 07:41 PM

Wow... who would have thunk that sweet little Paloma would score nearly as high as someone like Ace?! That came as a shocker! :confused:

And wow, too funny... the three blondes all scored identical scores!

And... take note of Gillian's score. Even being voted off, she scored better than quite a few of the players, even beating Matty baby. That could be an interesting strategy to play later in the game, so keep it in mind. For every vote at TC, Jeff says the name twice... that can add up...

I know I had Ozzy on my team last year when he was voted off and he still managed to give me a whopping score (he had something like 90+ in name points alone)! :banana:

CBS probably figures that you can choose bonus selections whether you watch the show or not. You need to watch the show to answer the question correctly.

Looks like CBS put the tribe scores up last night.

Lovely Coconuts came in at 287. Our tribe is currently in place #207 out of 814 private tribes. VERY GOOD!

So that answers my question as to how they're going to handle large tribes vs. small ones.... apparently it's an average of all our scores.

Our individual scores are not up. I have this feeling they won't be. Which stinks because I really don't want to to wading through 13,600 players (and growing) just to find my name.

But it looks that way.... so everyone get calculating and posting. I'm sure once Petez wakes up, he'll start to compile the scores into one post...

WAKE UP! You've had 7 hours by now! :dance3:

Marcus was a HUGE winner - He won team reward challenge, team immunity challenge, AND individual immunity challenge!

Bob was BIG on name saying - he had his name said by Jeff A LOT!

Well, for now, nobody has that extra 30 points added to their score. When CBS factors that in next week, we'll add 30 points to your score too. Guess that means you'll have to pm either me or Pete with your answer...

Registration Failed! Cannot activate signup for: rolyatz. Please correct your error and try again.

Try already being logged into CBS as rolyatz first. When you click that email link, you shouldn't be going to the registration page..... unless it's still buggy. Grrr...

Ok the CBS Fantasy League this year is officially a mess. They created the most convoluted system imaginable to set up private tribes and they released it on the day of the season premiere. I'm trying to to keep a positive attitude about it all but it's seriously frustrating.

We still have four people we want to get into the tribe but their points probably won't get added to our tribe's score for this week. Poor Taz doesn't seem to be able to get in at all. Once you're on the tribe you can see a list of your tribemates but you can't see thier scores or picks. I'm not really seeing the point of being on a tribe anymore. Sure you can compete against other tribes but a tribe with one player that makes good picks every week will do better than a tribe of 20 players.

So enough ranting, here's what I suggest. We keep posting our picks here prior to the episode just like we did this week. One thing CBS has done is give us a single point value score for each surivor and that makes it easy for me to total up your scores and make our own leaderboard. So I'll do that every week and this will be an individual competition among ourselves (which is the funnest part of this anyway). Your comments and suggestions would be very much appreciated. Here are the week 1 results:

Okay frustration here sorry

I can't get in

It says I am signed in but then tells me to register

so I like the idea of picking here and saying the heck with CBS but since I already missed week one I'll wait to hear what everyone else thinks

Kayla, Did you at least pick your team on CBS before the episode ran Thursday evening? Or are you not even registered over there?

If you post your picks each week here on the DIS before 8 pm EST each Thursday, Pete will score your team along with the rest of ours, so you can still play.

And yes, I hear your frustration. This whole CBS Fantasy League thing is a big joke this year. Pathetic.

I am already in a tribe (public) but i would create a new person to join you guys if you decide to do it.
here is the link just let me know if you decide to switch :)

I looked at the new Fantasy Survivor site and it looks interesting. I may play it just to see how it works. I personally think the easiest thing for us to do is just post the picks here and add up the points each week based on the CBS total. We're already all here, there's no learning curve. I'll go along with whatever you all want to do, but I'm just not really feeling like learning a whole new system right now. ;)

True.

The season has already begun. Pete spent an entire day emailing and setting up our private tribe, no thanks to CBS.

I say heck with CBS and that we just do our own thing right here. That way, everyone can play whether they are on CBS or not. As long as CBS continues to post the Survivor scoring each week, we can just pull that and do our own tallying and leaderboard. Nobody even needs to register/log in with CBS if they are having problems still. As long as everyone posts their picks here each week, it should be pretty simple for us to run our own Fantasy League, Heck, we can even throw in our own bonuses again if we want...

Okay someone explain how the whole "bonus" thing works for me

I know before Thursday to pick 4 surviviors but other than that :confused3 :confused3

In the past, CBS has always had a special bonus section added to the Survivor Fantasy Game. We had a choice of 7 different bonus selections that we could pick from to assign to each of our four Survivor team members. Choices were:

Chops a coconut
Gets naked
Sings a song
Catches a fish
Finds a hidden immunity idol
Plays a hidden immunity idol
Kisses

You could pick ONE from that list for each of your 4 team members. If that specific team member did your chosen bonus activity in that night's episode, you scored an additional 30 points to your score.

So.... we could go back to doing this bonus ourselves - Pete and I can watch for those things (or others that we create) happening and jot down which survivor did what.... then add it your score.

Or, we can just carry on the way we are with no bonus (other than the stupid "bonus" question CBS is now putting up on their website)

09-29-2008, 01:45 PM

OK, I've read the responses here and I've been talking it over with Pink. Here's what I think we'll do going forward:

Post your team picks in this thread anytime before the episode airs. Pick 4 Survivors weekly to be on your "team" for the current episode. Once you post your picks you can edit them anytime you like up until the time the episode airs. Posting or editing your picks after the show airs will result in your picks from the previous episode being used to calculate your score for the current episode. That also means that if your picks aren't changing then you don't have to repost them. They should be changing though, especially since we're bringing back the bonus points.

Bonus points. Just like last year, you can assign 1 bonus point category for each of your survivors. Our bonus point categories are going to be:

Catches a fish
We need to see the survivor in the act of successfully catching the fish. Fish stories back at camp don't count.
Finds a hidden immunity idol
Finds the place where the TV crew hid the idol. Finding a fake idol, or finding the real in a place where the true finder hid it (ie: digging through their backpack) doesn't count.
Plays a hidden immunity idol
This is pretty clear I think
Kisses another survivor
This needs to be an obvious on-screen kiss involving two survivor contestants. If kissing is implied somehow in the editing of the show, that won't count. Kissing during a family visit doesn't count. Any on-screen kissing counts (pecks on the cheek, etc.) as long as it involves at least two survivors.
Says the episode title
The title of each episode is usually a quote from one of the survivors. The Premiere was called "Want to see the elephant dung?" If chose this bonus point category for Jillian you would have scored. The quote needs to be heard in the episode. Being able to infer who probably said it is not good enough.
Brushes teeth with a stick
This happens more often than you might think. We'll award bonus points for this category if any survivor is seen picking at their teeth with a stick. Picking at their teeth with a finger, machete, small rock, whatever won't count. Only sticks.

A couple of old CBS categories have been eliminated:
Chops a coconut - Didn't see any coconuts in the first ep. I'm not sure they are even out there.
Gets naked - It's fun to try to guess who will take their clothes off but it could be a point of disagreement. How much nakedness do they have to show on TV before we all agree that there was true complete nakedness? We'll just avoid that discussion and eliminate the category.
Sings a song - Seriously, this never happens.

When you correctly pick a bonus point category for an episode you will be awarded 30 points. Bonus points are per survivor not occurance. So if you pick "Kisses another survivor" and your survivor kisses three people, you will get 30 points.

CBS.com Bonus Point Questions: I suggest that we just don't use them. It's kind of a "gimme" anyway.

Sample Posting Format When you post your picks we need to know who your 4 survivors are and which bonus point category you are assigning to each.

Marcus - Picks teeth
Dan - Picks teeth
Sugar - Finds hidden immunity
Kelly - Kisses

Remember: If you pick "Dan" you are selecting the white guy named Dan (32yo lawyer from Boston). If you pick "Danny" or "GC" you are picking the black guy (26yo maintenance man from Portland). Get your posts and/or edits in by 8:00pm Eastern time on Thursdays (if the showtime gets moved assume that this deadline moves with it).

Then What Happens?
Pink and I will both be keeping track of the bonus points during the show and we'll compare our numbers for the final count. Anyone here who would like to count as well, please feel free. You can PM your counts to me after the show. Sometime after the show I'll go through the posts for the week and combine all the picks into one thread. That makes it easy for you to follow who everyone is chosing and easier for me to add up the scores once CBS posts them. Once CBS gets their scores for each Survivor up, I'll add up all of our scores with our bonus points to create the DIS leaderboard for the week. The leaderboard will posted as a reply in the thread as well as the first post.

Cheap!
I'm going to be the final decider on what counts and what doesn't. If say that wasn't a stick that Matty was cleaning his teeth with, then it wasn't a stick. In the event there is a disagreement someone has to have the final word so the buck is going to stop here. I'm not an unfair judge though. Call me out publically on the board if you think I made a mistake and I'll be more than happy to do whatever it take to try to resolve the issue. The transparency of the scoring process should prevent any real disagreements from coming up.

What About the first week?
I think the process we had in place last week was fair and some of you put a lot of effort into making your picks. I don't really see any good reason to throw those scores out.

So what do you think? Nothing is set in stone yet but by tomorrow, if there are no major objections, it will be. Speak now or forever hold your peace ;)

I'm inclined to give them to you because you really need the points. :thumbsup2

OT ETA: How do you like "World of Kung Fu?"

Woot! I need all the points I get!

World of Kung Fu has just been okay for me. It looked interesting, but I just don't think it's for me. I really can't see myself playing it long term.

Ace - Says the episode title

Bob - Catches a fish

Marcus - Brushes teeth with a stick

Matty - Catches a fish

BTW check your local TV listings; on my channel, Survivor is going to be delayed by 2 hours this week because of the silly VP debates.

Post your team picks in this thread anytime before the episode airs. Pick 4 Survivors weekly to be on your "team" for the current episode. Once you post your picks you can edit them anytime you like up until the time the episode airs. Posting or editing your picks after the show airs will result in your picks from the previous episode being used to calculate your score for the current episode. That also means that if your picks aren't changing then you don't have to repost them. They should be changing though, especially since we're bringing back the bonus points.

Okay I went back and looked in Pete's post and highlighted the important part so Pink is out of luck LOL she may have tricked me into posting but I can go back and edit them :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: ( Not that i plan to but hey the option is nice)

Maybe that helps you with your bonus point picks this week. :thumbsup2

back on topic.. I think that episode title is near hysterical! In my thinking its either someone in Chrystals camp or someone from the other camp that got their butts beat by her in a challenge. That narrows it down right??

Well, it narrows it down in that it eliminates Crystal! :dance3:

The title is DEFINATELY said about Crystal. I can't see anyone else that would fit that "description." :rotfl2: Someone's being a little snarky over there in Gabon...

My picks for the week for the episode on 10-2-08 are:

Bob
Corinne
Marcus
Paloma

do we need to pick bonuses for this board? where can i find a list of the bonuses?

I just updated the first post to make the new rules easier to find. Here's the section that you're looking for though:

Catches a fish
We need to see the survivor in the act of successfully catching the fish. Fish stories back at camp don't count.
Finds a hidden immunity idol
Finds the place where the TV crew hid the idol. Finding a fake idol, or finding the real in a place where the true finder hid it (ie: digging through their backpack) doesn't count.
Plays a hidden immunity idol
This is pretty clear I think
Kisses another survivor
This needs to be an obvious on-screen kiss involving two survivor contestants. If kissing is implied somehow in the editing of the show, that won't count. Kissing during a family visit doesn't count. Any on-screen kissing counts (pecks on the cheek, etc.) as long as it involves at least two survivors.
Says the episode title
The title of each episode is usually a quote from one of the survivors. The Premiere was called "Want to see the elephant dung?" If chose this bonus point category for Jillian you would have scored. The quote needs to be heard in the episode. Being able to infer who probably said it is not good enough.
Brushes teeth with a stick
This happens more often than you might think. We'll award bonus points for this category if any survivor is seen picking at their teeth with a stick. Picking at their teeth with a finger, machete, small rock, whatever won't count. Only sticks.
