Here's how my process will work: first off, eliminate the premerge game altogether. In my eyes, the premerge is the regular season, and it leads up to the real deal; the postmerge. So automatically, the 6 people who never participated in a merge vote are already ruled out: Peter Harkey, Hunter, Patricia, Gina, Gabriel, and Sarah. For each round of the merge, I'm going to give a point to half of the castaways (for odd numbers I will round down, for example, I'll give 4 people points out of the final 9) I will continue this through the final 2. Whoever has the most points will be survivornerd's Player of the Season!
FINAL 10
Vecepia, Neleh, Paschal, Robert D., and Tammy are the only people to vote correctly and not receive votes, so they all gain a point.
FINAL 9
Robert, Tammy, John, and Sean all are ruled out for voting incorrectly or receiving votes. Neleh, Paschal, Kathy, and Vecepia gain a point for pushing the blindside.
FINAL 8
Zoe and Robert are ruled out for receiving votes. Tammy is an outcast, so she is also ruled out. Neleh and Paschal gain a point for being in the power position, and Sean gains a point for gaining favor with his tribe by bringing food from the reward. Vecepia also gets a point for performing well in the immunity challenge.
FINAL 7
Tammy, Robert, and Vecepia are ruled out for either voting incorrectly or receiving votes. Neleh is also ruled out for being annoying about going on the reward to her hungry tribemates, and coming back empty handed. Sean, Paschal, and Kathy all receive a point.
FINAL 6
Robert and Sean are ruled out for receiving votes. Neleh is ruled out for being perceived as riding Paschal's coattails. Paschal, Vecepia, and Kathy gain a point.
FINAL 5
Kathy and Paschal are the only two to vote correctly and not receive votes, so they each gain a point.
FINAL 4
Vecepia gains a point for winning immunity, and Kathy gains a point for getting Vecepia to force a tie.
FINAL 3
Neleh gets a point for winning immunity as the odd woman out.
FINAL 2
Vecepia gets a point for gaining more jury votes.
NOW, for the rankings...
