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

WINNER ANNOUCEMENT: We had a winner this week! @dfinney - you won this week's contest by correctly predicting that Caaarrrrlll 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!! See below for how you can participate!

EPISODE RECAP

This was a two hour episode with TWO tribal councils. The first half of the episode saw an epic 6 hour battle for immunity between Alec and Christian, with Christian being victorious in the end. With nothing to protect him at tribal council, Alec was unanimously voted out, the entire group recognizing that Alec was a massive physical threat. This result made Alec the fourth member of the jury and cemented the Davids power position as they finally had the numbers up 5 to 4 against the Goliaths.

Part two saw Davie win immunity, but the vote was anything but straightforward. Instead of sticking together as Davids and picking off the Goliaths one by one, old tribal lines blurred - Christian and Gabby joined some of the Goliaths to vote off one of their own. Carl was blindsided, his torch was snuffed, and he became the fifth member of the jury.

Out of the starting 20 players, we're down to the FINAL 8 and again back to even numbers - 4 original Goliaths and 4 original Davids - although there was so much blurring this episode, I'm not sure it matters anymore.

So long Alec and Carl, you're now the fourth and fifth members of the jury!

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

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.

We lost a lot of good Steemians this week! @hiddendragon, @happyme, @norihany, and @toddcurry - because you all picked Alec or Carl to win this season of Survivor, I'm afraid you join @steven-patrick, @chamudiliyanage, @suitcasemama, @gabrielatravels, and @the-witty-waiter who are out of the running for the 20 Steem Grand Prize.

For @o07's Bonus Once of Silver Game: @chamudiliyanage since you were assigned Carl and @stever82 since you were assigned Alec, you also join @steven-patrick, @suitcasemama, @aussieninja, @toddcurry, @pbock, @the-witty-waiter, @mimismartypants, @travoved, @hiddendragon, and me (@eoj) on the no-silver-for-you sit out bench.

@hiddendragon, @toddcurry, @chamudiliyanage, you join @steven-patrick and @suitcasemama as the Steemit Survivor contestants 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 8 remaining contestants above and leave your guess in the comments section of this post below by 8am EST on Wednesday December 5th.
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.
• 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, December 5th. The deadline for this week's contest is:

8am EST on Wednesday December 5th.

 
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.
• 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.

THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN

This contest is for fun and because @suitcasemama and I are huge Survivor fans. I don't expect the post payouts to be large, but I'll do everything I can think of to increase the pot!

Who is the next to go? Leave your guess in the comments below!
