Welcome to the Weekly Steemit Survivor Contest Episode EIGHT.
No Upvote, No Resteem, No Follow Required!

@cyrus33 - you won this week's contest by predicting that John would be voted out!!

 
This post is both a Winner Announcement post and an invitation to participate in the next round of the Weekly Steemit Survivor Contest which starts NOW!!

EPISODE RECAP

@suitcasemama and I really enjoyed this episode. Dan ended up winning immunity and was safe, so the blindside many of us were hoping for didn't come to pass. It seemed it would be Goliaths vs. Davids again in the final vote, until Alec let a David know that they were gunning for Chistian, instead of voting off Angelina, as was being broadcast.

This gave the Davids a chance to make a move, which they did in epic fashion: Davie played his idol to protect Christian. The Goliaths countered by protecting Angelia with an idol from Dan, but the Davids foresaw this move and split their votes sending John/The Mayor of Slamtown himself home. GREAT move Davids!

Out of the starting 20 players, we're down to 11: 6 original Goliaths and 5 original Davids. Goliath stayed united in votes, but were utterly outsmarted/blindsided by the Davids this episode!

So long John, you're now the second member of the jury!

@gabrielatravels - because you picked John to win this season of Survivor, I'm afraid you join @suitcasemama and @the-witty-waiter who are out of the running for the 20 Steem Grand Prize.

But you're still in the running for the @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Prize unlike @suitcasemama, who has been eliminated since John was assigned to her!

@suitcasemama, you join @aussieninja, @toddcurry, @pbock, @the-witty-waiter, @mimismartypants, @travoved, @hiddendragon, and me (@eoj) on the no-silver-for-you sit out bench.

@suitcasemama, you also become the FIRST Steemit Survivor contestant to be eliminated from BOTH the 20 Steem grand prize AND the Silver bonus round! Please take your seat on the jury!

WEEKLY CONTEST NEW ROUND - STATUS: ON!

This post also announces the next round for next week's Survivor episode. If you're new, the object of the weekly contest is very simple: you win if you guess who will be voted off the island next!

THIS CONTEST IS ON - LET'S SEE YOUR GUESSES IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

  1. Guess who will be voted out next on the coming episode of Survivor: David vs. Goliath from the list of the 12 remaining contestants above and leave your guess in the comments section of this post below by 8am EST on Wednesday November 14th.
  2. There is no #2, that's it! If you guess correctly, you win!
  3. Strategizing and trash talking other Steemian's choices highly encouraged!

PRIZES

The winner will receive (in order of importance):

  • Bragging rights immortalized forever on the blockchains
  • PLUS - the total amount of SBD generated from all contest posts until someone wins.
  • AND - at least one Steem Basic Income (SBI) share provided by contest sponsor @freedomshift through his #ccc initiative (see below for more info on #ccc).
  • Additional prizes may be added if we pick up sponsorships along the way.

I'm continually looking for ways to increase the prize pool for this contest. If anyone has any ideas as the week goes on, please let me know - I would love to give bigger prizes to the winners!

DEADLINE

Set in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, the next episode of Survivor David vs. Goliath will air 8pm on Wednesday, November 21st. The deadline for this week's contest is:

8am EST on Wednesday November 21st.

 
At that point I will lock your choices. A winner announcement post will follow.

WHAT IFs

  • If more than one Survivor contestant is voted off on this episode, that means you have more than one chance to win!
  • If it's a medical evacuation like we saw in the first and fourth episodes, I will treat it as if the person has been voted off.
  • If more than one Steemian guesses correctly, the Steem Prize will be evenly split, but the @freedomshift #ccc SBI share(s) will go to the first one to correctly guess which contestant is voted off in the coming episode.
  • In the case NO ONE correctly guesses this week, the Steem earned in this post will be saved up and added to the pool for the next Weekly Steemit Survivor Contest.

Lets do this!

Dan!!! this week ;)

Okay, Daaaan! :)

WINNER!! You'll share the Steem raised by this post with @torrey.blog and @fronttowardenemy!

What a crazy tribal!! Dan really hesitated on saving Angelina.. and he lost John. Lose lose for him...

I still think Dan would have gone home if he had not won individual immunity. My pick for next week is Dan going home.

That tribal was awesome. I just re-watched the tribal with @suitcasemama and my mom and noticed that the idol he played for Angelina didn't even matter: John got enough votes to get booted with or without the idol, so add another lose to Dan! Lose lose lose! :)

I love that the Davids were able to pull that off without the numbers advantage and absolute shock just about everyone. I'm curious if it was Christian or Nick who masterminded it, but whoever, well done!

Your pick of Dan is noted for next episode!

Yea man! They really cornered Dan and friends. Checkmate. Splitting the vote means they anticipated his possible idol play. Such a huge move by the David’s!

WINNER! You'll share the Steem raised by this post and because you were the first to guess Dan you'll get 1 SBI share courtesy of @freedomshift!

What a tribal!!!!
This week is Angelina time to go.
I think she is wearing on everyone and they can see right through here charade.

That was one of the best tribals I've seen in a long time, I loved it!

Your vote for Angelina is noted! You're right, she's skating on thin ice, her number could be up soon!

No, John!!!! :(

I will stay with Mike :)

The little Davids took out the massive Goliath/John! :)

Okay, Mike it is! Good luck!

Darn I had John getting kicked the episode before :( Ok new guess...Carl

Bummer, you were off by one week!!! For this week your vote for Carl is noted!

Okay really i need to start watching the show lol but my guess is Nick

Ha, you should! Last week's episode was super fun to watch!

Got it, your vote for Nick is noted, thanks!

That was one nail-biter of a tribal! WOW! With Christian as my overall pick, I was on the edge of my seat. Davie really came through on that one.

I've picked Dan to go for the past couple of episodes and I'm going to stick with him. Of course, he can always win immunity, but once he doesn't have that necklace, I think everyone is going to want him gone. My pick for next episode is Dan.

WINNER!! You'll share the Steem raised by this post with @torrey.blog and @suitcasemama!

WOOT! Thank you!

I agree, that was a super fun one to watch! Davie now has a pretty great item for his resume if he makes it to the end!

Your vote for Dan is noted! He still has one more idol - it would be awesome for him to go home with it in his pocket!

I'll stay with Christian.

Okay, Christian it is, good luck @happyme!

Hi ex-son! I wonder how your kiddos are. Hope all is fine!

Hey @blacklux! Thanks so much for stopping by! We're all well but not sleeping much these days, hence the delayed response :) I hope all is well!
