ROUND TWELVE: WRITE YOUR OWN
Come on in, guys! We have immunity available:
Wait... hold on...
There are two here!
Yes, this means that two people will be winning immunity today, because two people will be going to the jury at Tribal Council.
Today's challenge is a bit different. You are to create your own Survivor season - just the basics of it. It's essentially fanfiction.
You are to include the following at minimum:
-A cast list
-A theme or twist
-A season summary with boot order and key events. Nothing too fancy
You must recap the entire season. It is your call how many cast members to have, whether or not to disclose a location, etc. You do NOT have to use actual Survivor contestants for your theme, but are welcome to if you please. If you do use Survivor contestants, keep in mind who is judging you!
Three judges will judge you based on the following criteria:
Originality [10 points] - Is there something new about this idea, or is it typical?
Entertainment [10 points] - Would this season be something good for TV, or would it get canceled?
Coherency [10 points] - Does the sequence of events make sense, or do the characters lack motives and just do random things? Does it seem realistic and human or scripted and fake?
Effort [10 points] - Did you put time into this, or was it sloppily done?
Organization [5 points] - Is everything laid out smartly, or does it look like my sister's bedroom?
Intangibles [5 points] - Our way of giving someone an edge in extra departments if we feel like they did something that others did not.
The people with the two highest combined scores from all three judges will win immunity and be safe from Tribal Council.
If you have no idea what we're looking for, I have attached an example of my own (it's still a work in progress, as it's merely a list of events). You don't need to go into as much detail as I did, but keep in mind the more effort you put into it, the better off you'll be. You MAY present it in recap form like I have in the past season archives. You may also include a voting history chart and/or episode guide if you wish, but those are not required.
Jury members - you each will submit your OWN fanfic. You are still allowed to compete in this, so if you want immunity, you'd better work hard!
You have 48 hours to submit a plan in your confessional, but we may grant an additional 24 depending on how this goes. You may upload a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file [it MUST be one of those three, else it won't be accepted!] as an attachment or post the text directly in your confessional. We will not grade it until you inform us that your copy is final, so feel free to edit your post as you'd like.
If you have any questions, let me know! Survivors ready? GO!!
