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: Semhar, Papa Bear, Stacey, Elyse, Mikayla, and Christine. 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!

Coach is our Player of the Season! So far, for all of the captains seasons, a captain has won Player of the Season (Stephenie in Guatemala, Rob in Redemption Island). Sophie was incredibly close, though. Cochran was the top player from Savaii.
