With the help of random.org, I will be pitting Survivor runner ups against each other, for each post-merge round, I will be assigning a point to whoever played a better game. If there is a different amount of people who made the merge, I will go with whoever has less. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but away we go.
NEXT MATCH-UP: Lisa Whelchel, Survivor: Philippines VS. Michael Skupin, Survivor: Philippines
FINAL 11 - Lisa was recognized by Jonathan for being a child star, and she also discovered Malcolm's idol. Skupin I feel played better here, by strategizing with the other side and agreeing to follow their lead. POINT: Skupin (1-0)
FINAL 10 - Both managed to vote correctly this time, but Skupin was targeted. POINT: Lisa (1-1)
FINAL 9 - Lisa voted incorrectly while Skupin was in on the Artis blindside. POINT: Skupin (2-1)
FINAL 8 - This one is a tougher call since Skupin and Lisa worked very closely together this round. Since Lisa was the one who shut Skupin's idea of flipping on Malcolm, I will give her the point. POINT: Lisa (2-2)
FINAL 7 - Lisa told Penner that he was getting voted out which is the worst thing you can do in Survivor, so by default Skupin gets this point. POINT: Skupin (3-2)
FINAL 6 - Both voted correctly again, but the fact that Lisa thought up the plan to blindside Malcolm (until he won immunity) and she was the first picked for the reward gives her the point. POINT: Lisa (3-3)
FINAL 5 - Since Lisa was first approached about voting Denise out, and since she was the one to lean towards that decision (which would have been the correct one) I will give Lisa this point. POINT: Lisa (4-3)
FINAL 4 - Since Skupin won the final immunity, allowing them to vote Malcolm out, he gets this point. POINT: Skupin (4-4)
FINAL 3 - They tied. But upon watching the final tribal council over again, I decided that Lisa performed better. They both were pretty rough compared to Denise, but Malcolm did say that through Lisa's opening speech that he considered voting for her, so the final point goes to her. POINT: Lisa (5-4)
With that Lisa Whelchel knocks Skupin out (phew), and becomes the representative for Survivor: Philippines.
