PTTE was born September 28, 2001, during the S3 Africa season. sleeve created this fun game for RTVW’s enjoyment. Today I am posting the 19th version.

PTTE: The longest running Blows game!

Are you ready for some PTTE?

What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means:

"Picks To The End"

S21 PTTE: NICARAGURA

Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new season of Survivor.
The 21st season to be exact.
Can you believe it?

We are in Nicaragua
A country full of incredible natural beauty
volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests
and spectacular Spanish colonial cities.

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America.
It’s bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south.
The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, the Caribbean Sea to the east.

There are also 20 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
All but one is unknown.

Who do you think will win?
Who will be the first Survivor kicked off the island?

That’s the main question of this game.

To start this game you will need to

post a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE boot order
for the season.

Starting with the first castaway (#20)
& ending with the winner (#1).
Unless you play the Teal game.

This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw in anything you want...
this is a game and is intended to be fun.
Use any spoiler information available to you,
coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do.

To start you on your way here are your contestants:

Alina Wilson (23)

Current Residence: Downey, Calif.
Occupation: Art Student at California State University (Fullerton)
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'm like Stephanie because I am super competitive and athletic, Ozzy because I work really hard and sometimes keep to myself and Amanda because I tend to be too trusting.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Because I really want it and no one can mess with me when I set my mind to something.

Benry Ben Henry (24)

Current Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Club Promoter
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: The winners... They win!
Reason for being on SURVIVOR: To dominate and show the world what it is like to be a champion.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Because if you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, you get paid good!

Brenda Lowe (27)

Current Residence: Miami, Fla.
Occupation: Paddleboard Co. Owner
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Ozzy- I wish!
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Easy, I'm a natural winner. I'm not scared of anything and nothing stops me when I get an idea in my head.

Chase Rice (24)

Current Residence: Fairview, N.C.
Occupation: Pro Race Car Jackman
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: JT, the man's from the South. I've gotta stick with my southern roots.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I'm hoping people will trust me because I'm from the South and people tend to trust a southerner.

Dan Lembo (63)

Current Residence: Watermill, N.Y.
Occupation: Real Estate Executive
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: No one.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Because I've been a SURVIVOR my entire life and thrive on beating everyone else.

Jane Bright (56)

Occupation: Dog Trainer
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Rupert because he was loveable, but I still think I'm smarter.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Everybody likes me and respects me. Plus, I'd be an underdog to them.

Jill Behm (43)

Current Residence: Erie, Pa.
Occupation: ER Doctor
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Tom Westman and Colby Donaldson because they are physically dominating and played with intelligence.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: The better question to ask is how could I not be the sole SURVIVOR? I'm the total package. I have all the tools, mental and physical, to win the game.

Jimmy JJohnson (67)

Current Residence: Islamorada, Fla.
Occupation: Sports Broadcaster
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Tom Westman, because he is trustworthy.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Ozzy because he surfs. Although, I'm younger, goofier and probably a better swimmer.

Kelly B Bruno (26)

Current Residence: Durham, N.C.
Occupation: Medical Student at University of North Carolina
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Christy Smith because she also faced a physical disadvantage that, in the end, gave her additional strength. I also relate to Helen Glover's no-nonsense-appeal as that is how I approach my own life; with a no-nonsense attitude.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I'm physically and mentally strong. I've overcome obstacles before when the odds were stacked up against me and I can do it again.

Kelly S Shinn (20)
Current Residence: Mesa, Ariz.
Occupation: Nursing Student at the University of Hawaii.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Elizabeth Hasselbeck because she played with smarts and integrity.

Marty Piombo (48)
Current Residence: Mill Valley, Calif.
Occupation: Technology Executive
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'm a mix of Boston Rob and Russell. They are relentless, clever, devious and will do anything to win. I'll play the game in a similar fashion.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I've been in those cutthroat pressure-cooker situations and I've succeeded. I am downright certain I could manipulate people and get them to vote my way. I will play this game HARD!

Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: I'm very likeable and very athletic so it will be hard to get rid of me.

Tyrone Davis (42)
Current Residence: Inglewood, Calif.
Occupation: Fire Captain
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Tom Westman because of the value he placed on integrity and being true to himself.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Because I want it! That's all it takes for me to get it done.

Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff (48)
Current Residence: Fromberg, Mont.
Occupation: Goat Rancher
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: No one, especially NOT the other female military contestant, Shambo. We just have different personalities.
Why you think you will be the sole SURVIVOR: Because if you put your heart and mind into the game anyone can be the final Survivor. You need skill, strategy, physical/mental abilities and a little luck. I'm Irish, so hopefully I'll have the luck of the Irish with me.

Yve Rojas (41)
Current Residence: Kansas City, Mo.
Occupation: Homemaker
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: A mix between Bob Crowley and Danni Boatwright. Intelligence + Athleticism + Generosity = a lethal winning combination.

Okay... how do you play:

SCORING:

1) You do NOT want points...they're bad... it's like golf.
Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them,
unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game.
then you want all the points you can get.

2) Points will be awarded to each boot, after each episode.

They will be awarded as the difference between
where you thought this week's castaway would finish
and where the castaway actually finished.

3) You will be given penalty points every time you change your PTTE list.

+5 points for regular game
-5 points for medium teal game
+8 points for All-Stars
-8 points for All-Star Medium Teals

You may change your list as many times as you want, up to the deadline.
The last list at the time of deadline will be used.

4) There will be several tie-breaker questions.
Check back to catch them. I will also send out a PM to alert you.
I have used several tie-breaker questions the last few seasons
to break ties and even determine a winner.

5) The game will be open for anyone to join at anytime.

Entry is free for the first two weeks.

If you do not enter before the 2nd episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 (-8) points per episode you missed. That means that it's possible to join the game after several episodes and
enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.

If you would like to do a little more research check out CBS

If you have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.
(Private Message located top right on page, larger envelope icon.)

Post your list and number them from 1 to 20.
All-Stars post the first boot

Sit back and enjoy the premiere of:

Survivor 21: Nicaragua

You may change your first lists as many times as you want,
up to 7:59 pm EDT on Wednesday, September 15, 2010.
