YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THEM BUT I SUGGEST YOU DO. THESE ARE GENERAL RULES. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MENTIONED HERE, JUST ASK.

**CONFESSIONALS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. THEY LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY HELP ME DECIDE WHO IS PLAYER OF THE SEASON AT THE END OF THE GAME. THEY HELP ME PICK RETURNEES FOR FUTURE SEASONS.

**I LOVE DETAILED CONFESSIONALS.

**IF YOU CAN REMEMBER, TRY TO INCLUDE ME IN ALL TENGAGED MAILS, SKYPE CHATS, CONVERSATIONS, 1 ON 1’S, ETC FOR STRATEGY TALK SO I GET SOME EXTRA INPUT

**LIVE CHALLENGES WILL VARY IN TIME TO MEET EVERYONE’S NEEDS. BUT THEY WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN 6 PM EST AND 9 PM EST.

**DURING NONLIVE CHALLENGES, YOU HAVE 24 HOURS.

**IF A TRIBE HAS MORE PEOPLE THAN THE OTHER TRIBE, THEY MUST SIT SOMEONE(S) OUT. THE SAME PERSON(S) CANNOT SIT IN BACK TO BACK CHALLENGES.

**THERE IS AN IDOL BOARD. ONE GUESS PER DAY**

**YOU CAN GIVE AWAY FAKE IDOLS. JUST MAIL ME WHO YOU'RE GIVING IT TO. THEY WILL NOT KNOW ITS FAKE UNTIL THEY PLAY IT.

**YOU CAN ONLY GIVE AWAY IDOLS TO PEOPLE ON YOUR TRIBE UNLESS YOU GIVE IT AWAY PUBLICLY AT A CHALLENGE TO SOMEONE ON THE OTHER TRIBE

**I UNDERSTAND REAL LIFE COMES FIRST. I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO PUT THIS GAME BEFORE YOUR REAL LIFE. IF YOU CANNOT MAKE A LIVE CHALLENGE, THAT’S ALRIGHT, AS THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME DAYS I FORGET TO COME TO A CHALLENGE ALSO. NO PENALITIES ARE GIVEN IF YOU DO NOT DO A CHALLENGE.

**FOREWARNING: THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON I WILL BE LATE SOMETIMES. I DON'T KNOW WHEN BUT I CAN GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE TIMES I WILL BE LATE OR NOT SHOW UP AS A HOST. I AM A BUSY GUY IN REAL LIFE. JUST AS I UNDERSTAND YOU WILL MISS SOME CHALLENGES, PLEASE UNDERSTAND I MAY AS WELL.

**IN THE EVENT I HAVE SOMEONE HOSTING A CHALLENGE FOR ME, GIVE THEM THE FULL RESPECT AND MORE THAN YOU GIVE ME. AND IF YOU DON’T RESPECT ME, GIVE THEM RESPECT ANYWAYS.

**WHENEVER I OPEN TRIBAL, YOU WILL BE GIVEN EXACTLY 24 HOURS TO VOTE.**WHEN YOU VOTE, YOU MUST GIVE ME A REASON AS TO WHY YOU ARE VOTING THAT PERSON. YOUR REASONS WILL NOT BE REVEALED.

**NOT VOTING WILL RESULT IN A SELF VOTE.

**THREE SELF VOTES AND YOU WILL BE MEDICALLY EVACUATED FROM THE GAME.

**IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THERE IS A REVOTE. IF ANOTHER TIE OCCURS, A FIREMAKING TIEBREAKER OCCURS. I DO NOT DO ROCKS!!!!!

**AT FTC I WILL ASK THE JURY TO SEND A SECOND CHOICE VOTE IN CASE OF A TIE

**I DO HAVE FORMER HOSTING EXPERIENCE BUT I'M STILL HUMAN. I WILL MESS UP OCCASIONALLY. IF I DO, SIMPLY POINT IT OUT AND I'LL FIX IT.

**THIS IS AN UNBIASED GAME. IF SOMETHING DOES NOT GO YOUR WAY, PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME I AM RIGGING THE GAME. I WOULD NOT WASTE MY OWN TIME TO RIG A GAME FOR SOMEONE. THIS IS A COMPLETELY FAIR GAME.
