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 8 people who never participated in a merge vote are already ruled out: Marisa, King Borassi, Betsy, Ben Browning, Yasmin, Ashley, Russell Swan, and Liz. 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!

Brett and Dave also gain a point for having the most options.
