The First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest - 20 STEEM Grand Prize - Status: LOCKED!
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.

| @doctorcrypto | Davie Rickenbacker |
| @dfinney | Alison Raybould |
| @the-witty-waiter | Bi Nguyen |

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 |
| @rentmoney | Davie Rickenbacker |
| @suitcasemama | John Hennigan |
| @travoved | Jeremy Crawford |
| @steven-patrick | Dan Rengering |
| @toddcurry | Pat Cusack |
| @hiddendragon | Lyrsa Torres |
| @mimismartypants | Natalia Azoqa |
| @fronttowardenemy | Mike White |
| @chamudiliyanage | Carl Boudreaux |
| @gabrielatravels | Gabby Pascuzzi |
| @stever82 | Alec Merlino |
| @happyme | Alison Raybould |
| @aussieninja | Elizabeth Olson |
| @pbock | Jessica Peet |
| @eoj | Natalie Cole |
And Now a Word from Our Sponsors
- In addition to participating himself, @o07 has made the incredibly generous offer to contribute an ounce of silver complete with shipping costs. Thank you @o07!
- @freedomshift has kindly offered to contribute at least 1 SBI share towards the Steemit Sole Survivor Contest. He does this all the time through #ccc, please go check him out and consider joining the #ccc initiative! Thank you @freedomshift!
- @rentmoney had the great idea to offer @dustsweeper accounts as booby prizes for the first loser. @rentmoney is super active on Steemit and always coming up with creative new ways to engage with the community. Check him out and consider participating in his contests and games!

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!

Great job everyone!
It looks like Gabby Pascuzzi, my pick, is teased to make an alliance next week, so I have a feeling she'll be in for a while, but still don't think she'll bring home the prize!
Poooooooooor @eoj!
Ha!! :)
Episode Four Update
@the-witty-waiter and @mimismartypants are out of the running for @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Prize having been assigned Bi Nguyen and Natalia Azoqa respectively. They join @toddcurry, @pbock, and @travoved on the no-silver-for-you bench. Everyone else according to the list above is still in it!

Great job everyone!
Gabby Pascuzzi, my pick, seems to break down every episode - if she doesn't start a "Survivor made me stronger" narrative soon, there's no way she's winnin' this thing!
Pwaa pwaaaa!! 😢 Oh well!! At least I'm still in the running for the grand prize!!
Also, Gabby is behaving like such a girl!! Pffffttt!!
Posted using Partiko Android
Gabby's driving me insane - she has zero chances of winning unless she quickly toughens up to start to build a "Survivor has changed me" argument in the end. So far, it looks like the game is just breaking her!
Your overall pick of Nick will go far I think! Especially if he survives until the merge and is reunited with Christian!
You're welcome to join the Weekly Contest as well! :)
I think i strategically chose nick based on stability and likebility. Being a chic myself i am allowed to say this, but most if the time they never hack it! Lets be honest!!

I don't know, after 36 seasons, women have won 16 times, men 20 times...that's pretty close ;)
Episode Three Update
Since @travoved was assigned Jeremy Crawford he joins @toddcurry and @pbock on being out of the running for @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Prize.
Pour some out for @travoved
Again @rentmoney's Booby Prize has still yet to be won!!
That's amazing actually!! It means everyone's (@doctorcrypto @dfinney @the-witty-waiter @rentmoney @suitcasemama @steven-patrick @toddcurry @mimismartypants @fronttowardenemy @gabrielatravels @happyme @aussieninja @pbock @norihany @travoved @hiddendragon @chamudiliyanage @stever82 @torrey.blog @freedomshift @silvertogold) picks are all still in the running for the 20 Steem + SBI share grand prize!
Great job everyone!
Gabby Pascuzzi, my pick, seems to have a bit of a target on her back now, so it's not looking good for my silver prospects!!
Yuhh it seems to me that I made wrong choice. I wish good luck to all participants!
Posted using Partiko Android
Nope, you're not out of it yet! You're only out of @o07's Ounce of Silver bonus game! Your pick for the main 20 SBD contest is Davie Rickenbacker, who is still in it and has an immunity idol, so you're still in good shape!
Yup... Thank you for detail explaining!
Episode Two Update
Since @pbock was assigned Jessica Peet he joins @toddcurry on being out of the running for @o07's Ounce of Silver Bonus Prize. Pour some out for @pbock!
On the other hand, @rentmoney's Booby Prize has still yet to be won, which means everyone's (@doctorcrypto @dfinney @the-witty-waiter @rentmoney @suitcasemama @steven-patrick @toddcurry @mimismartypants @fronttowardenemy @gabrielatravels @happyme @aussieninja @pbock @norihany @travoved @hiddendragon @chamudiliyanage @stever82 @torrey.blog @freedomshift @silvertogold) picks are all still in the running for the 20 Steem + SBI share grand prize! Great job everyone!
Anyone else regretting their pick to win? After watching my pick Gabby Pascuzzi for two episodes, I reeeeaaaalllly doubt she'll win the whole thing!
This game becomes more and more interesting with each new episode!
Posted using Partiko Android
Yep! If this episode was any indication, this season is going to be good!
I'm feeling good with my davids.
If i'm not mistaken, my boy Davie Rickenbocker found an idol tonight.
I'd feel good with your choices too. Davie did find an idol, plus - he's likable! The only thing that could bite him is that he's now in the smaller alliance with Bi and Carl. He's gonna have to get out of that quickly.
Nick, your Silver Bonus Round pick, dug himself out of a hole this episode as well and now seems pretty tight with Christian. I think he'll be safe for a while at least!
Nick is not the most likable person. He just needs to form an alliance with Davie!
Loving the contest man!
