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: Zane, Roxy, Angie, Russell Swan, Dana, Dawson, and Katie. 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 11
Carter, Pete, Artis, and Jeff each gain a point for voting correctly. Penner gains a point for successfully playing his idol.
FINAL 10
Michael, Lisa, Abi-Maria, Pete, and Artis each gain a point for voting correctly.
FINAL 9
Denise, Skupin, Malcolm, and Carter each gain a point for voting correctly and not receiving a vote.
FINAL 8
Abi and Pete are ruled out for voting incorrectly. Malcolm is also ruled out for receiving votes. Penner is ruled out for turning down a final four deal. Michael, Denise, Carter, and Lisa each gain a point.
FINAL 7
Michael, Lisa, and Malcolm each gain a point for voting correctly and not receiving any votes.
FINAL 6
Carter and Abi are ruled out for receiving votes. Denise is ruled out for not getting along with Abi. Malcolm gains a point for winning a clutch immunity. Michael and Lisa each gain a point.
FINAL 5
Abi and Denise are ruled out for receiving votes. Malcolm gains a point for winning immunity and Lisa gains a point for wanting to keep Denise around so they have a better shot at beating Malcolm in the final immunity challenge.
FINAL 4
Michael and Lisa gain a point for voting correctly and not receiving a vote.
FINAL 3
Denise gains a point for winning more jury votes.
