WE ARE LOCKED!

Participation in the First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest is now LOCKED! If you made a valid entry in the comment section of the original post before the deadline, you are IN!

If you missed out or are just finding us now, don't worry, you can still participate in the separate WEEKLY STEEMIT SURVIVOR CONTEST if you get your guesses in by 7am EST on Wednesday September 26th.

Below is the final list of the 23 participating Steemians along with their choice for who will be the Sole Survivor at the end of Season 37, season themed David vs. Goliath. The season premier, set in Mamanuca Islands‎, Fiji, will air on the 26th of September on CBS.

Worth Playing For? (The Prizes)

WINNER: 20 STEEM to the Steemian who correctly guesses the winner of Survivor 37: David vs. Goliath.
FIRST RUNNER UP: At least one Steem Basic Income (SBI) share provided by contest sponsor @freedomshift through his #ccc initiative if your Survivor finishes the season in second place. See below for more info on the #ccc initiative.
BOOBY PRIZE: @rentmoney had a great idea of rewarding the first loser, so has kindly added a booby prize. If your chosen survivor has the unfortunate distinction of being the FIRST to be voted out on the first episode, @rentmoney will give you a starter @dustsweeper account! There will be a maximum of 5 @dustsweeper starter accounts provided - if more than 5 qualify, @rentmoney will use a random generator to pick who gets the accounts. I will announce the "winner" of the Booby Prize in the comments section of this post later this week, after we know who is booted off the island first.
PLUS - A BONUS GAME HAS BEEN UNLOCKED: Because the contest was successful in attracting 20 participants, contest sponsor @o07 will award one lucky winner an ounce of silver including shipping costs! THIS BONUS GAME IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. See below for details.

Steemit Sole Survivor Final Contest Rules

If more than one Steemian correctly picks the Sole Survivor, the 20 Steem prize will be split evenly between those with the winning pick, with the SBI share(s) going to the first runner up.
If no Steemian guesses correctly, prizes will be as follows: 15 STEEM for the Steemian whose contestant remains in the game the longest, 5 STEEM for the Steemian that stays in second longest and the SBI share(s) will given to the Steemian whose pick lasts third longest.
Survivor seasons can be unpredictable - I'll do my best to fairly distribute the prizes in case of any ties or major twists!

Bonus Game Unlocked!

Since we have attracted 20 participants, a bonus game has been unlocked by contest sponsor @o07. This bonus game is in addition to the main contest and is happening right now and the prize is one ounce of silver!

As outlined in my previous post here's how it works: using a randomized team maker I have paired each of the first 20 Steemians who confirmed contest participation (AND successfully made a guess in the comment section of my previous post before the contest deadline) with each of this season's 20 Survivor contestants.

Because some of those who expressed interest in playing didn't make a guess by the deadline, they have been replaced with the Steemians who joined the contest more recently. I have added the following players based on the order in which they joined the contest: @norihany, @travoved, @hiddendragon, @chamudiliyanage, and @stever82.

Congratulations, I've slotted you in - you are now in the running for @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Game!

If your assigned contestant wins this Survivor season, @o07 will ship you an ounce of silver and will even cover shipping costs!

Here are the pairings of the 20 Steemians and 20 Survivors:

Steemian	Assigned Survivor
@o07	Kara Kay
@doctorcrypto	Nick Wilson
@dfinney	Angelina Keeley
@norihany	Christian Hubicki
@the-witty-waiter	Bi Nguyen

Previously on Survivor

@suitcasemama and I are huge (and extremely nerdy) fans of the American reality show called Survivor. You know the one - where you have to survive on a deserted island, play silly challenges, and vote people off the island. I put out a post over a month ago to gauge interest in a Steemit Survivor Contest. Since then I've been saving up Steem to be able to award a large 20 Steem Prize. Good news, I've reached my goal and now have the 20 Steem prize just waiting to award to the winning Steemian!

The Tribe Has Spoken

I've started the Weekly Survivor Contest too, where you vote on who you think will be voted off next. Check it out!

I may run a mid-season contest as well, depending on interest.

What's Next?

No more action from participants is required. Just sit back and enjoy the season of Survivor and root for your pick!

The first episode Survivor: David vs. Goliath, set in Mamanuca Islands‎, Fiji, will air on the 26th of September on CBS.

Once the season ends (probably around the 19th of December, 2018) I'll make a Winner Announcement Post.

Good luck to all and I hope you enjoy the contest!
