L-I-V-I-N!! (S43: Episode 1)

We told you things are going to be a little different for Season 5 of our Vukelulu Fantasy League...and you're now in the hot seat! How many of our league members picked up on this subtle clue in last week's email, inviting everyone to our Season 43 watch party?

....Let's see how things played out:

LEFT: Maggie L's disadvantage, RIGHT: DMC's advantage

So with two of the three BEWARE ADVANTAGES already found, one still in circulation, with the potential of others still left to be found, things are already starting to shake up like never before!

Now let's dive right into our drafted tribes this season:

WE HAVE FIFTY-TWO MEMBERS IN THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON! (a 16% growth increase from last season!). Because of this, a castaway could be drafted on a MAXIMUM of 16 people's tribes.

Our MVP draft pick this season AND the most popular draft pick we've had ever (in all 5 fantasy league seasons) was Jesse who was fully drafted by the beginning of round 2 and not a single league member drafted him below rank 14! (averaging 3.65!) Our least popular pick this season was Gabler who was drafted onto 10 out of the potential 16 tribes. We only had two people rank Morriah as a potential draft...luckily they didn't get her........

IMPORTANT: Below are your tribes. Of the 5 contestants listed as your "TRIBE," please send us your SOLE SURVIVOR pick and your MERGE BONUS pick. Your Merge Bonus will only (officially) join your tribe if they are still in the game post-merge and will not collect points for you (if) until they are added to the tribe.

You must submit your Sole Survivor and Merge Bonus before WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th 8PM EST. If you do not, we will default pick your first drafted contestant as your sole and your last drafted player as your alternate. PLEASE EMAIL your selections to survivorvukelulu@gmail.com.

Your Tribemasters,

Brian & Olivia
