PTTE: The longest running game at Blows!

Are you ready for some PTTE?

What's a PTTE, you ask?

Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"

It is a boot list prediction game.

It is a game about the order of who IS kicked off each week
NOT who is brought back

Redemption Island does not matter in the game of PTTE!!!

S23 PTTE: South Pacific

Welcome Back!

It’s time for a new season of Survivor.
The 23rd to be exact.
Can you believe it?

We are back in the South Pacific
An ocean full of islands
and that troublesome Redemption Island.
Of which I will pay no attention!!!
Promise!!!

There are 10 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Who do you think will win?

Who will be the first Survivor kicked off the island?
Who wins immunity?
Who will survive Redemption Island?
Does Ozzy still swim like a dolphin?
How many dragons will Coach slay?

Those are a few of the questions of this game.

To start this game you will need to

Post a list that reflects your prediction
about the REMAINING boot order for the season.

Starting with the next castaway (#10)
& 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.

Here are the divisions:

Regular PTTE

– Lowest score wins

Medium Teal PTTE

– Highest score wins

Green PTTE (Spoiler-Free)

– Lowest score wins

This is a game for those who want to play spoiler free.

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 green game
-5 points for medium teal game

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 tiebreaker 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.

Now on to the Game:

The 8th castaway to have their flame extinguished in S23 was:

Keith Tollefson

We didn’t learn much about you Keith, except you seem to be a good hard-working mid-westerner. You were just on the wrong side of the numbers.
