Survivor Missouri is, obviously, a rip-off of the mega-popular TV show Survivor. This version is a fictional account of what might happen if 16 people I know just happened to find themselves placed in the game of Survivor. . For those unfamiliar with the game, this is how it works. 16 Americans are stranded in the middle of nowhere. Every three nights, they go to Tribal Council and cast votes to get rid of someone. The last man standing wins $1 million. . At first the contestants are divided into two teams, (Or "tribes") but about halfway through the game, they merge into one big tribe. Prior to the merge, the teams compete together for rewards and immunity, but after the merge, the contests are free for all. . There are 2 challenges in every three day period. The reward challenge is for a luxury, such as food. The immunity challenge is more important. A person or team with immunity can't be voted out. . In the case of a tie vote at tribal council, there's a revote. If the revote comes out in another tie, it's a deadlock. In a deadlock, the person with the most prior votes gets kicked out. If neither has prior votes, there's a quiz challenge. . The merge generally takes place after the sixth person is voted out. Also, if the teams are even after four people are voted out, there's a swap in which three players on one team are exchanged for three on the other. This is to stir up alliances. . Alliances are the heart of Survivor. An alliance is a group of two or more people who vote the same way. You can't get far in the game without an alliance. . This game, like the TV show, you the viewer have no control over what happens. All you can do is hope each week that your favorite isn't voted out. . And I hope you find a favorite among these contestants. They're based on real people, written in character as well as I possibly can. . All that said, it's time you kick back and enjoy Survivor Missouri. Or else. .. |
