What's a PTTE, you ask? Well PTTE means:"Picks To The End"
S25 PTTE: Philippines
End of the World Edition
Welcome Back!As we approach what seems to be the End of the World, at least that’s what many cultures are telling us, I have decided to forgo all rules for the PTTE game, but one or two. Chaos seems to be erupting all around us. This season has been spoiled for months. I am not yet. I will be as soon as I make my list and post it in the Spoiler Free S25 PTTE game thread. Most of PTTE players do spoil, so I say go for it. Make your list and post it. Battle to the end of the game to take the sole title of S25 PTTE End of the World Winner.
So let’s start!
There are 18 Survivors trying to win a million dollars.
Who do you think will win?
Who will be the first Survivor kicked off?
Where will everyone else place?
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 ENTIRE boot order for the season.
Starting with the first castaway (#18)
& 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.
To start you on your way here are your contestants:
