S50 Draft Pick Rules!

TWENTY-SIX YEARS OF SURVIVOR! SIX YEARS OF VUKELULU! And a season we are both cautiously optimistic for...we'll see!

To Officially Join This Year’s League:

1. Deadline Tuesday 2/24 @5pm ET: Submit your power ranking HERE for Season 50's players. (#1 is the person you'd MOST WANT on your tribe, #24 is the player you'd LEAST WANT on your tribe).

• Since this our first returning player season in SIX years we want to remind you that your draft selections must be submitted BEFORE the first episode airs because we are all already familiar with these castaways/how they have played previously.

2. Venmo your $10 draft entrance fee to @Olivia-Paganelli

• The winner of the league receives: bragging rights, a great bit to add to their Survivor audition tape, first pick of their placement in next season’s snake draft, AND gets to select a charity of their choice to donate all of our Season 50 pot!

• What happens if you do not fare well in this season's draft? Our friend/international pop star, Sia always gives awards to some of her favorites...

How the Draft Works:

• Everyone must submit their power ranking of our Survivor 50 castaways before Tuesday 2/24 @5pm ET.

• Once we receive everyone's power ranking, we will be conducting a snake draft. (This will help us in limiting the number of times a single player can appear on multiple league members’ tribes. This will also allow for every contestant in the game to be drafted onto someone's tribe!) We will be randomly selecting each league member’s placement in the snake draft.

• Everyone's tribe will have 4 permanent tribe members (one of which you will select as your Sole Survivor) and 1 Merge Bonus contestant that will join your tribe after the merge/mergatory episode if they're still in the game.

• We will send you your tribe of 5. You will have until the deadline of Wed 2/25 @8pm ET (AKA before Survivor 50 premiere airs) to submit who on your tribe you'd like to pick as:

  • Your SOLE SURVIVOR (the player you think is going to win the game)

  • Your merge bonus contestant (This player will not begin earning points for your tribe until the merge. If they are voted out before the merge, they will not gain any points for your tribe.)

  • ***If we do not hear from you, we will default to the castaway you drafted first as your sole survivor, and the last drafted contestant as your merge bonus.***

You may earn additional weekly bonus points if any of your ‘Fantasy Tribe’ castaways do any of the following visibly on screen:

(Limited to one line per castaway per week. For example, if your castaway cries multiple times in an episode, that’s still just 3 points for that week but if two of your castaways cry, that’s 6 points! Excludes recaps of past episodes and “next time on” sneak previews.)
