Bob, here's another what if...what if they merge the three teams into 2 instead of one? That would make all team and indiv rw and im invalid.
So, only our VO and SO could be correct.

I guess it depends on what the two new teams are named. I will try to be very literal when deciding the correct answer. If the Saboga team was eliminated and 2 players went to Chapera and 2 players went to Mogo Mogo, then Chapera or Mogo Mogo could still win reward and immunity. If 2 new teams names were formed with completely different names, then I would use those team names in determining the correct answer.

For the truly adventurous, you may specify any team name for Reward and/or Immunity. If you can correctly guess a new tribe name it will probably be worth a bunch of points.

Sunrvrose: Your picks will work and I will use them as an example of what would have to take place for each of your first 4 answers to be correct. That way we can make sure that everyone is thinking the same way and there won't be as many surprises on Thursday night when the results are posted.


Tribal Reward Winner: New Tribe "Boyarena"

This pick will be correct if there is a tribe named Boyarena (or even something close) that participates in a Tribal Reward Challenge and earns some type of reward.
It will not be correct if there is no reward challenge or if the reward challenge is held at the individual level.

Individual Reward Winner: Nobody

This pick will only be correct if there is an Individual Reward Challenge and nobody actually receives a reward.
It will not be correct if there is no reward challenge or if the reward challenge is held at the tribal level.

Tribal Immunity Winner: New Tribe "Membrillo"

This pick will be correct if there is a tribe named Membrillo (or even something close) that participates in a Tribal Immunity Challenge and earns immunity.
It will not be correct if there is no immunity challenge or if the immunity challenge is held at the individual level.

Individual Immunity Winner: Nobody

This pick will only be correct if there is an Individual Immunity Challenge and nobody actually receives immunity.
It will not be correct if there is no immunity challenge or if the immunity challenge is held at the tribal level.


There is one thing I want to make sure is clear to you and everyone else. I have not added the two extra picks with the intention of scoring reward and immunity at both the tribal and individual levels. The intent is to have picks in case a twist changes things from tribal to individual. Last season I was a week late and we had no scorable picks when the merge occurred.

If reward is tribal, then I throw away the individual picks.
If reward is individual, then I throw away the tribal picks.
If immunity is tribal, then I throw away the individual picks.
If immunity is individual, then I throw away the tribal picks.

This may be obvious, but your pick of Nobody for individual immunity got me thinking.

You still have time to change your picks today if you want to and your thinking of the scoring was different than what I described above.

Sorry there are not really any simple answers that make sense to everybody or make everybody happy.

I am so glad I checked in here before I voted. I thought that if I picked "Nobody" for individual reward and immunity and it was a tribal thing that I would get points.

Thanks for clarifying that, Bob. Now I'll have to rethink my picks. Oh and they will be in by 9 board time and I won't be whining and making up stories tomorrow. Well, that story I gave you last week was true, but you know what I mean.

ITs all JANS fault Bob you work too hard!!

Just wanted to thank you, somehow, somedays I'm sure you feel as if you are in a "dead"end game... ok, my attempts at humor my go swishing over some heads (like my own!!)

j/k btw Jan, just wanted to check and see if you were paying attention!! :-) It has to be all Mark Burnett's fault, if he'd just give Bob the script, bob wouldnt have to think all on his own of every nuance, and how it could confuse me...

Bob, your charts are AWESOME!!}}

Ok, Bob, Seriously, I know we all are very greatful for you putting this game together and the TONS of work you do.

BUT...Yep, I know it means (I don't agree) the problem is with the choosing "Nobody"

What I gathered from your explaination is that if there was an Individual Reward Challenge and an Individual Immunity Challenge and no one won it, then "Nobody" would be the correct answer. The problem is that that would never happen. Once they do get to individual challenges, someone will win.

So the "nobody" answer makes the most sense now, when we could get points by saying we think the teams as we know them will or will not be a factor.

So if I think the challenges will still be team challenges, I should get points for voting "nobody" for the individual reward and for the individual immunity.

IMHBOITOAPCEIBTRTAPPITTO, many people really do not have a true appreciation for what is takes to put together even the most basic of these online games. I would bet Puttergirl and Wilsonatmd have a great appreciation. Rules are posted, but people still post basic questions that have already been answered. Bonus point schedules have been known since before the show started and are reposted in both the voting thread and this thread, but we still have people that are surprised that the 80 point bonus is not available on Tuesday. More than once it has been stated that reward and immunity will be either Tribal of Individual. If it is one, than it is not the other and those answers (if I asked for them) are thrown out.

I am not asking two reward questions and two immunity questions.
There is only one reward question and one immunity question.
You just have to provide a tribe and a player for each.
If you are sure the reward will be tribal, then just put down any player or nobody for your individual pick and forget about it.
If you are sure the immunity will be tribal, then just put down any player or nobody for your individual pick and forget about it.

It is helpful when people point out possible upcoming twists that have not been accounted for in the rules. Sometimes I ask for opinions and sometimes I just make a decision. In the end, I have to make a decision and there will always be people that like it and people that do not.

The -80 point bonus is always available for everyone if they feel the rules have gotten too silly or that the scoring is too complicated, random or just plain wrong. Even if I take the -80, I still am stuck with entering data, trying to interpret twists, deciding the answers are correct by randow roll of the dice and posting results, unless of course I want to deal with the wrath of just chucking the whole thing.

Here's the final rule update which I hope will cover all previous and any future questions regarding correct answers and scoring.

All Encompassing Rule
Make whatever picks you want, using whatever descriptions you need, to communicate all your possible answers for the 4 categories of: Reward, Immunity, Voted Off and Stays On.
I will watch the show, do my best to pick which answers I will consider correct and then I will post the results.
The only corrections I will make are to data entry errors for your picks.
This rule supercedes any previous rules that contradict this rule.


Hope that clears things up.

(*-In My Humble But Obviously Ill Thought Out And Poorly Communicated Explanations In Both The Rules Thread And Previous Posts In This Thread Opinion)

In the future, I will attempt to only answer questions in the form of song. The interpretation is up to you, but I would lean more towards the cynical and sarcastic, if I were the reader.

It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it would never end
I remember how she held me oh, so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
But just running against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules I could bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
I found myself seekin'
Shelter against the wind

All those drifter's days are passed me now
I've got so much more to think about

Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Running against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Bob, I think I understand, but want to make sure and not assume. This week, when you opened up voting, you said tribe and individual for both reward and immunity. I gather you want us to pick one or the other for those two, and our vote should be only 4 answers--one for reward (EITHER tribe or individual, but not both) immunity (same issue as for reward) and voted off and stay on.

Is that correct?

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many picks must a Deadpool player make
Before week 5 picks are completed
How many of those picks will count for points
Before scores are computed and posted
The answer, Deadpool player, is post your six picks
The answer is only 4 will actually be used


How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many years must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

{{{BOB}}

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day

Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day (ooh...)

Look all around,
There's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead,
There's nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day

I was tempted to try my hand at manipulating the lyrics, but was afraid I'd fail miserably!!

Then, as I"ve been working with the scouts, and there is a lot of head banging that goes into that part of volunteering too... this song jumps out at me...

Hey, my name is Bob, and I work in a online community... one day, the mods said, "bob are you busy?" and I said "no" so he said work with your right hand (and then you move your hand up and down...) This song continues same lyrics, but then you add another part of your body (first your right hand, then your left hand, then your right foot, then your left foot, then your head...

so then the mods say "Bob are you busy?" and I said... YES

It doesnt translate well here...

and the main characters name is Joe and he works in a button factory... I think this is my poor attempt at humor... however I will know what song to teach those scouts next week!!)}

I’m ever upper class high society
God’s gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I’ve got
The biggest balls of all


I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!


And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!


I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!


Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the balls that I like best.
And my balls are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night.


I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

Tribal Reward Winner: Tribe that wins Reward.
Individual Reward Winner: Individual that winds Reward.
Tribal Immunity Winner: Tribe that wins Immunity.
Individual Immunity Winner: Individual that wins Immunity.
Vote Off: The person voted off.
Stay On: Someone who stays on.
