For fans of the TV show Survivor

[Phil]

Read the following carefully:
Watch the first episode of Survivor and decide who you think will be the winner
of this season's show. I will be giving to the winner of this contest 500 NP$.
There is a limit to the number of entrants since each NPer can only have 1 pick.
You must be the first to post the name of the Survivor contestant and no one else
can choose the same after. You must post your choice after I've made my pick (in
an attempt to win my own NP$ back :P).
I will post my pick sometime between 18-24 hours after the time of this post.

Here is a list of the Survivor contestants:

Ashley Trainer, a spa sales rep from Maple Oak, MN
Ben Browning, a mixologist from Los Angeles, CA
Betsy Bolan, a police officer from Campton, NH
Brett Clouser, a T-shirt designer from Calabasas, CA

[johname]

Its not a donkey (or lama) DU start this so I guess I better wait for him to have one last chance to bid before hammering the big prize!

Still as funny as it was then

Inference suggests you do. This means
1. You think it's worth bidding more
So I should up the bid.

2. You are bluffing to ruin me financially
I'm already morally bankrupt but you are my friend

3. Johname will switch out the prize
But without trust np contests are worthless

So....

150 it is.

Yours

3. Johname will switch out the prize

The prize is set in stone Jade, even if Fonzie bids.


I think Keith should be bidding, heck he should be sponsoring the whole darn BB-Survivor year. Imagine how many $nps can be bought with 150k.

DU leads with 150 nps

One clue about the mystery prize:

I am not bidding on it anymore. This could be because the prize sucks. Or it could be because I am being nice and letting others have it.

 

[DU]

175.. clue says it must be good

 

[johname]

I will hammer this today!

177 b/c I lost Morgan.... there were a couple of gratuitous boob angles last week.

I'll have to see if I have anyone else left. This series is ridiculous - it's basically random vote at the end of the day. There's no strategy othe than hope you don't get voted off. They need more incentives to have proper strategies - actually have people with value.

i.e. Person A is worth 2 donuts a day, Person B is worth 3 fish.... something that makes voting them off be a value proposition.

DU takes advantage of me forgetting to hammer this before I went to bed last night. The auction continues

LOL yeah I notice two 'beach runs' by Morgan last week. I think the producers figured they better use her while they got her.


I miss my lady cop and her cute chimpmunk face





DU leads by 177
