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

 
This post will be 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

The Jabeni (Purple) Tribe got absolutely destroyed in the Immunity Challenge this week, sending them back to Tribal Coucil. Mike seemed a bit conflicted on whether to vote yet another Goliath out of the game, but in the end he, Nick, and Angelina voted to send Lyrsa home.

The other big news: next week's episode will see the tribes merged, a sign of the final stage of the game. From now on, players voted out will take a seat on the jury, who will in the end vote on who wins the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar prize.

Out of the starting 20 players, we're down to 13. The merged tribe will be made up of 7 original Goliaths and 6 original Davids. The interesting part of this stage is to see how strong those initial alliances were compared to the ones that have developed since the tribe swap. The way things are playing out so far, I really doubt that the rest of the season will hold to the original David vs. Goliath groupings, but we'll soon see!

So long Lyrsa!!! Tough to not make the merge by just one week!

Remaining players:

Back row (l-r): Mike, Gabby, Alison, Davie, Christian, John

Front row (l-r): Kara, Elizabeth, Carl, Alec, Nick, Angelina, Dan  

Jabeni, Tiva, and Vuku Tribes are no more. From now on, all players will be in ONE tribe, the MERGE is here!

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

We have a winner this week!! @happyme correctly predicted that Lyrsa would go home!

@happyme - you've won the .55 SBD raised by last week's post as well as one SBI share, thanks to contest sponsor @freedomshift.
 

Congrats to @happyme for winning this week! You join @steven-patrick, @stever82, @doctorcrypto, and @suitcasemama on the list of Weekly Steemit Survivor Contest winners, great job!

 
Weekly Steemit Survivor Contest participants @celinavisaez, @rentmoney, @the-witty-waiter, @trisquelwhare, @annycor, @gabrielatravels, @suitcasemama, @fronttowardenemy, @doctorcrypto, @happyme, @steven-patrick, @dfinney, @bidesign, @torrey.blog, @lilkeszi, @laxmanmah, @stever82, @o07, @chetnaag, @ahmanik, and @pbock - there are still a bunch of Survivor David Vs. Goliath episodes remaining this season!

I invite you all to guess again in the comment section below!

Also - an update on the parallel First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest with a 20 STEEM Prize.

@hiddendragon, because you were assigned Lyrsa Torres you're out of the running for @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Prize. You join @toddcurry, @pbock, @the-witty-waiter, @mimismartypants, @travoved, and me (@eoj) on the no-silver-for-you bench.

Since no one picked Lyrsa Torres to win it all, no one joins @suitcasemama and @the-witty-waiter on being out of the running for the 20 Steem Grand Prize. Again, I'm impressed that we've all had such great guesses so far!

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 13 remaining contestants above and leave your guess in the comments section of this post below by 8am EST on Wednesday November 7th.
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 7th. The deadline for this week's contest is:

8am EST on Wednesday November 7th.

 
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.
