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

The girl with the glasses annoys me, I forgot her name, i think it is Amanda.

I am pretty sure we will just assign players by bingo draw when we get down to four.

While I am going to watch Big Brother this summer, the np game will be secondary to the just talking about it when I feel like it.

I would watch these two shows even if NP didnt exist.

 

[briguy]

I would watch these two shows even if NP didnt exist.

I am just the opposite..never watched those shows..these is my news feed.

 

[DU]

I only watch Survivor for your benefit. Seriously. It keeps this place alive... lol

 

[DU]

I was just thinking... DNF and Namepros were the final pair.... guess who won. DP and DomainState couldn't find an idol and got voted off ages ago. Domain and TV parallels abound when you look for them

Kinda get the point about DP but lost (nothing new) about DS...lol

 

[johname]

Domain Sherpa ?

I am not up to speed on DNF. I guess its totally gone?

Few posting about that site on here..read articles like this one
http://domainnamewire.com/2016/02/19/r-i-p-DNF-2001-2016/

Was just reading Raider ( @RaiderGirl ?) comments...kinda of a straight talker!!!

 

[johname]

I guess my thousands of quality posts on DNF are now gone. Glad I spent a little time on NP so at least something still going.

SPOILER STOP READING















DS = Domainstate = Old Man Joe

Strange- I write Domainstate and it converts to DS

DS gets shortened to DS for me.

DigitalPoint doesn't

I forgot to mention the official lotto of the contest is Powerball, and it will be today's draw

If some already has a pick, the person with the next higher number without a pick gets the player.

So I win?

Who's Audrey?

And was this the worst winner ever? She's cute but her voice is grating.....

And who's Sia?

The series was dumb. The jury voted on "she was mean and i don't like her" basis....

 

[johname]

So I win? ..

Yes DU wins.

This is the worst part of doing this thread (no not once again crowning DU) but having to tell Briguy he lost. Sorry.

I was happy with Michelle wining. I like to see hottys can win too. Plus if CY could build any fire Audrey would be gone.

I didnt watch the reunion show this year.

Funny TY didnt get a vote.

Ill pay the prize tomorrow. Didn't want to spoil the show for you if you where watching later.

congratz to DU Survivor NP winner Spring 2016

 

[briguy]

Yes DU wins.

This is the worst part of doing this thread (no not once again crowning DU) but having to tell Briguy he lost. Sorry.

Congratz from me also!

Rather have you tell me that I lost than Mr. Impersonal (Google)....

Based on photo count, I'd say someone likes Joe... well everyone likes Joe..

Yes, but he always likes to run through his modeling poses when I take his photo, so I kept them.

 

[johname]

Awesome seeing you in the front row Dale

Awesome seeing you in the front row Dale

Actually I was in row #4, but to the far left so I couldn't see any of the cast when they were seated... but it was still fun and a great place to be. Right after Cydney's parents spoke on live TV we went to commercial and I told them that I had been rooting for her. Nice people. Cydney hates bars and alcohol, so she didn't attend the after-party.

WHAT SURVIVOR CAN TEACH US ABOUT EMERGENT GAME DESIGN
"If you were inclined to pare down the reality TV show Survivor (2000-present) to three key terms, they would likely be “tribal council,” “immunity,” and “alliances.” The first two are part of the core Survivor game template. Every three days, there will be a challenge—early on between two tribes and later, after merging, as individuals. The winner is safe at tribal council, where a person must be voted out of the game. “Alliance,” meanwhile, did not come from Survivor’s creators, but the revolutionary machinations of its first winner, Richard Hatch. “Richard Hatch was so far ahead of us in the first season,” said host Jeff Probst to Ben Blacker on theWriters Panel podcast. “He started the first alliance, and I remember him doing it in front of me… I think it was Sue Hawk he looked to, ‘You know we should vote out so and so.’ We had never considered people would work together. It seems so basic now.”

[DU]

I'm really not sure I can bear to watch much of this season. The whole Gen X (we're not spoiled brats and work hard) vs Millenials (they like totes jelly of us living at home...lol.. work? no way, we do fun and get paid for it)....*YAWN*

I wish they hadn't evacuated so we could see who the real survivors were.

 

[johname]

Survivor now too obsessed with theming.

They didnt want to get sued if a coconut tree fell on the male model from Maui

 

[DU]

Are we still watching? I'm tired of the millenials being annoying.. the gen-xers being annoying and the finding of idols in things that need to be smashed.

Glad they at least split up the love couple - they should have got married.
