I am curious to know how the "dead pool" got its name? Anyone care to explain?

I think it is probably derived from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. (Although I don't know if that movie originated the term Dead Pool")

In that movie a group of people were betting on famous people they thought would die and in what order. Clint Eastwood cop character enters the scene when the famous people in the Dead Pool start dying suspiciously.

It is actually a good flick and has Jim Carey's first appearance in a movie (he play an Axle Rose type to a tee-has drug overdose)
Eastwood personally cast him in the role because he loved Carey's impersonation of him:)

I just checked the standings and I got 000000 points! I picked Boran for immunity, Linda to get booted and Lindsey to stay. That's 3 for 3...what;s up with that? Damn!

I have a really big head today... I am 59 out of 4138 unspoiled voters... ah well,,,it won't last!

Hate to ask a dumb question but what the heck...
It seems to me that it is pretty straightforward to pick your team to get IC, and your voted off... you are either right or wrong, but the place you can pooky with the points is the stay vote-right?
So tell me this-- is it better to pick the next likeliest person to go on the team going to Tribal council--- that way you could get 3 right- or should you pick the most vulnerable person on the team that won the IC?

Am I making sense?
For example: (***Just an example***haven't decided my vote yet!)

If I vote this week for Boran to get IC,
and I pick Teresa to get voted off Samburu,

Would it matter in any way if:

If I think Frank is the next most vulnerable Samburu, so I pick him to stay..or I pick Kim J-
the person I think is the most likely Boran to go.

Or does this matter at all? Is the scoring strictly on the other voters?
<why do I have a feeling I am overthinking this whole thing?>

Also.... what happens to the Deadpool voting if they DO split into 3 teams or switch members...our votes pre-show would be meaningless-we wouldn't know the third team, or if it was a switch, the members would not match up to the IC winner/loser teams?

oh i help..i think i've fallen and i can't get up!!! i am soooo confused now!!!
I'm going over and just click...i can't think about this anymore!

if you pick a risky person ( i.e. Frank or mamakim last week) your points are slightly higher....i think ...

Yeah, but if you pick the risky person on the OTHER team, the team that doesn't go to TC, then they aren't risky...see why I am confused?

(I am probably being greedy here- wanting more points! lol)

I think you would get the most points if you voted Boran for immunity
Linda gone
Frank to stay

Because Frank looked like a really good possibility to go, so if you risked saying he would stay you'd get more points.

Kind of like betting on the long shot at the race track.

But I don't know nothing... cause I voted and got all three right and got 00000 points! Wahhhhh!

see, now I got you confused too.

OK nobody read these posts or we all will be confused... it is like a virus...it will wipeout the alliance!

I think I am going to just click on somebody and don't worry about it!

RG, don't worry about the points, what is your standing?

Here's a scoring summary from Survivor Deadpool:

http://www.survivordeadpool.com/rules/score.cgi

1. Guess the right voted off:
50 points + bonus
BONUS: 100 points minus the percentage of Deadpool players who made the same pick

2. Correct Immunity:
15 points + bonus

BONUS: (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 5

3. Correct Stay on:
10 points + bonus
BONUS: (100 points minus the percentage of players who made the same pick) divided by 10


Lose points:

1. Stay on pick is voted off -50 points
2. Immunity voted off -25 points (after merge ONLY)
3. Voted off pick stays on -15 (after merge only)

Thank you, Karuuna! I think I am just going to have to trust that my points are computed correctly!! My question: Why is it called "deadpool?"

Right Jaded, a "dead pool" is usually a betting game (like a football pool) in which people guess which celebrities will die next.
There is actually a traditional dead pool game on the internet at http://www.stiffs.com/

If they break into three tribes, how do we vote immunity for one tribe in the Dead Pool?

Twiggyish, I think whatever happens, our voting is screwed this week.
If there is an early merge, the tribe votes will be meaningless,
If there is a swap, a Samburu person could get voted off by Boran, or vice versa,
If there are 3 tribes who the heck knows...
I have to vote today, (unspoiled) and if no one has a better idea, I am going to vote as if whatever happens does not have an impact on tribe structure or voting- what else can we do? If you pick the right person off and on, you could still get some points.
I figure if something major happens, the dead pool will have to make an adjustment in scoring- if the tribes re-structure and that impacts the voting choices, maybe they will dis-count that question, so at least we will not LOSE points.

Anybody have any other ideas? I have til this evening to change!
This is probably why they made picking Linda off last week such an obvious choice...so when they hit us with this is would blow our weak little minds!

I know- a real quandry indeed!
I am going to vote MamaKim- as I think she will be a liability to any tribe- and whatever team she is on has a lesser chance of winning immunity.

Well, I just back from casting my vote based on pretty much nothing at all!! I voted Boran for the IC with T-Bird to go and Kelly to stay! If they split into more tribes or are joined by the cast of Survivor I, then who knows!?!?

Well the so called twist has definitly made it harder to choose. I will say if the tribes stay as they are Boran will win IC and Sambooboo will vote Teresa out. Frank will stay. If the tribes change who knows. If Boran should lose the IC
I think they would vote Kim out.


TnTitanfan great game glad you didn't have to change your name.

I'm going to go and vote now. This week has been the hardest for me to decided on how to vote.

I'm thinking Boran will win IC again, so I'm thinking of voting them for IC again, and Teresa will be voted off and Frank "Survivor Garrison will stay.

Then my second scenario would be Sambura gets IC MamaKim is voted off and Kelly stays.

I'm just so darn undecided about who will get IC this week.

Decisions... decisions... I'm going to go and vote now, hope I make the right choice.
