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 7 people who never participated in a merge vote are already ruled out: Carolina, Candace, Jerry, Sandy, Spencer, Sydney, and Joe (made the merge, but was evacuated before tribal council). 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 finals. Whoever has the most points will be survivornerd's Player of the Season!
FINAL 9
Brendan, Sierra, and Coach are all ruled out for receiving votes. JT and Stephen gain a point for having several people wanting to align with them. Tyson gains a point for winning immunity. Taj gains the last point for having options, along with JT and Stephen.
FINAL 8
JT, Stephen, Erinn, and Taj each gain a point for voting correctly and not receiving a vote.
FINAL 7
JT and Stephen each get a point for voting correctly. Coach gains the last point for winning immunity and successfully lying about Sierra coming to him about reinstating a Timbira alliance.
FINAL 6
JT, Stephen, and Erinn each get a point for voting correctly and not receiving any votes.
FINAL 5
Stephen and Taj each get a point for voting correctly and not receiving any votes.
FINAL 4
JT and Stephen each get a point for voting correctly and not receiving any votes.
FINAL 3
JT gets a point for winning immunity and ousting Erinn.
FINAL 2
JT gets a point for winning more jury votes.
NOW, for the rankings...
