First Impressions?
Would you like to join the fun?
Share your first or second or third impressions with us.
To start this game you'll need to:
post a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE boot order for the season.
Starting with the next castaway (#10) to be eliminated and
ending with the winner (#1).
This doesn't need to have any analysis,
although you're welcome to throw anything in that 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.
Here are the divisions:
Regular PTTE
Lowest score wins
Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Starting with next booted (#10)
and ending with Sole Survivor (#1)
Medium Teal PTTE
Highest score wins
Post your prediction for the ENTIRE boot order for the season
Attention Teals:
Please start with the Sole Survivor (#16)
and end with next booted (#7)
Now on to the scores. But Wait!
First Impressions Bonus
You must have joined the first week.
If you keep your list for the entire game,
I will subtract (or add for the teal game) 10 % of your final score.
This will take the place of the Pre-Season Bonus.
How good are your First Impressions?
Do you trust your list?
Do you change?
Do you stand by your first impression?

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 bootee would finish
and where the bootee 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-Star game
-8 points for All-Star Medium Teal game
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 a tie-breaker question. Check back to catch it. 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. If the number of ties this week is any indication, I will be using the Xs Tie-Breaker questions.
5) The game will be open for anyone to join at anytime.
The first two weeks were free.
Entry is 40 points this week.
If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 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 have any questions post them in this thread or PM me.
Post your list and number them from 1 to 10.
Sit back and enjoy the next show of:
Survivor 18: Tocantins: The Brazilian Highlands
The deadline is 6:59 pm Central on Thursday, April 9, 2009.
I will make a copy of your list one minute before the start of the show.
There is a recap show this week Wednesday, 25th.
KIRCONS RAMBLINGS
Not much to say but I wish Spring would finally break through.
It seems to be the season of Bridal Showers. I had two this last weekend.
Thats why Im late.
Sorry CTtgirl, I couldnt accept your entry because it was late. Just remember as a Teal, start with the Sole Survivor (#16) and end with the next booted (#7).
What new twist or turn will we see next week?
Will we ever see a mutiny?
Will your favorite be picked off next?
I will be asking the tie-breaker question next week.
Good Luck!
