Maybe it's just me but all the discussions on best and favorite got me thinking... Let's hold a game!

I have seen and heard about all the redemption, one world, returnees and favorites going on lately, I can handle. They have started to blur together a bit, for me.
Therefore, we will be having the past 4 seasons play off against each other to find, an even better winner than the real show had.
If that's possible.

Well, here's the sticky on Phase 1:
The first phase will be tournament style and will be held in a series of match-ups between Survivors from opposing seasons.
Simply pick the Survivor who has WON each of the match-ups.
Phase 1 will be open for 1 week. (1/15/13)
When I will return to tally placements and begin Phase 2.

Pick 1 winner from each Match-Up. Redemption VS. South Pacific 1. Francesca Hogi v Sophie Clarke 2. Russell Hantz v Coach Wade 3. Kristina Kell v Albert Destrade 4. Krista Klump v Ozzy Lusth 5. Stephanie Valencia v Rick Nelson 6. Sarita White v Brandon Hantz 7. Matt Elrod v Edna Ma 8. Mike Chiesl v John Cochran 9. David Murphy v Whitney Duncan 10. Julie Wolfe v Dawn Meehan 11 Ralph Kiser v Keith Tollefson 12. Steve Wright v Jim Rice 13. Andrea Boehlke v Christine Shields 14. Grant Mattos v Mikayla Wingle 15. Ashley Underwood v Elyse Umemoto 16. Phillip Sheppard v Stacey Powell 17. Natalie Tenerelli v Mark Caruso 18. Rob Mariano v Semhar Tadesse 18 will go on to Phase 2. Pick 1 winner from each Match-Up. One World VS. Philippines 1. Kourtney Moon v Denise Stapley 2. Nina Acosta v Michael Skupin 3. Matt Quinlan v Lisa Welchel 4. Bill Posley v Malcolm Freberg 5. Monica Culpepper v Abi Gomes 6. Colton Cumbie v Carter Williams 7. Jonas Otsuji v Jonathan Penner 8. Michael Jefferson v Pete Yurkowski 9. Jay Byars v Artis Silvester 10. Leif Manson v Jeff Kent 11 Troyzan Robertson v RC Saint-Amour 12. Kat Edorsson v Katie Hanson 13. Tarzan Smith v Sarah Dawson 14. Alicia Rosa v Dana Lambert 15. Christina Cha v Russell Swan 16. Chelsea Meissner v Angie Layton 17. Sabrina Thompson v Roxy Morris 18. Kim Spradlin v Zane Knight 18 will go on to Phase 2.

(Phase 2 will run similarly as Phase 1, further reducing the pool to 18 at which point Phase 3 will begin.
At that point, the strategies will change and we'll get to find who really has the stuff to be the winner of all four seasons.
So, Please come back for Phase 2 and the Real Game.)
