Survivor S49: Make your Survivor Survivor picks here
Survivor is back for yet another season! Survivor S49 premieres with a 2-hour episode on Wednesday, September 24th at 8PM ET on CBS. This season we will be playing a game called Survivor Survivor, in which you attempt to make predictions on who will and won't get voted off on each week's episode.
The rules of the game:
Each week before the episode airs, you must post your pick in this thread for any 1 player that you think will NOT get voted off in the upcoming episode. A pick MUST be made each week by the time the episode airs each Wednesday, at 8PM EST, or you are eliminated. Also, in case of multiple tribal councils/episodes with multiple players going home during a week, your pick for the week must survive both episodes/tribals.
If the player you choose for the week makes it safely through the week, you continue in the game. If, however, the player you selected for that week is voted off, medically evacuated, etc. you are eliminated. Players may only be selected once. The last person eliminated, or the last person with eligible picks still remaining, is crowned the winner. In case of a tie for 1st, whoever's final pick ("Winner pick") finishes closer to 1st place will be the winner. If two or more players have the same final pick, we will use their 2nd to last pick as their "winner pick", etc. This will continue as necessary until there is a week where the players tied for 1st did not have the same pick.
Please post only your SS picks in this thread. For any other analysis or comments about the show, please post in the main Survivor thread. Changing picks IS allowed as long as you post them in this thread prior to the Wednesday night at 8PM ET deadline. Players who do not make their week 1 picks in time can still enter late, but will have their first pick selected randomly. Subsequent missed picks will lead to elimination.
Remember this is all just for fun and there's nothing on the line, so let's play fair and have fun. Good luck!

I was thinking, in the future it might be a good idea to start survivor survivor on week 2. We have not seen or heard any of the players and how they interact with their team so week 1 is truly a roll of dice.

Maybe, idk. Your point certainly has some merit but I also think that with all the cast interviews, tribe divisions, etc. that are known beforehand, there is at least some information to speculate on who may or may not do well in the season. Week 1 picks certainly do feel scary to be sure, but no more so than picks where a merge or swap is going to happen. In those episodes also I tend to try to pick more conservatively.
I also think that generally the people who make it to the end of SS are running out of picks at a good time; if picks didn't start until week 2 then I'm not sure how that would affect the game. Idk, other people are welcome to weigh in

I think I floated the idea previously of everyone having a 'safety without power' once a season.
So rather than say your name you essentially just say you are playing your advantage and you automatically advance into next week.
Though in practice it might be a case where everyone just plays it either in week 1 or the last chance before it expires

Also, week 1 is one of the easiest weeks. The entire player pool is available.
Week 1 of:
48 - No one eliminated
47 - 3/27 eliminated
46 - 1/25 eliminated
45 - No one eliminated
44 - 3/29 eliminated due to Bruce medical evac.
43 - 2/28 eliminated
42 - 3/23 eliminated due to Jackson medical removal.
41 - 2/27 eliminated
Seems fine to me. I'd also be cool adding an advantage cut off halfway through the season or at the merge or something like that. But I also think the game is great as played.
