ROUND NINE: ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!
Come on in, guys! Immunity is here:
Come on in, guys! Immunity is here:
Today's challenge is nothing like you've ever seen before - at least in my series. This challenge is so unique that it can't be put into words... or can it? This challenge was partly inspired by my ANTM judging stint, and I had to find a way to not make it about modeling... so this works.
Your goal here is to post GIF images you find using Google and Tumblr (or other sites) in relation to eight different emotions or characteristics. These GIFs need not be related to your castaway, or to Survivor at all. They don't need to be high-fashion, they just need to invoke a specific emotion.
The emotions are as follows:
Happiness
Sadness
Sexy
Excitement
Sleepiness
Evil
Anger
Thinking
Apathy
Disgust
Surprise
Love
Happiness
Sadness
Sexy
Excitement
Sleepiness
Evil
Anger
Thinking
Apathy
Disgust
Surprise
Love
You might notice that there are twelve emotions here. You only get to pick eight.
Myself, Parvati, DDanielle, and Misty (and possibly Tracy as well) will judge the submissions for each of the twelve emotions like so:
1st place - 4 points
2nd place - 2 points
3rd place - 1 points
Everyone else gets nothing. The goal here is to invoke that emotion as best as possible while giving us a reaction. Make us smile, make us laugh, make us love, make us whatever. We are each picking our three favorites for all twelve emotions. That is all I am telling you.
If multiple players choose the same GIF, each of them instead loses 3 points and all involved parties are ineligible for gaining any for that emotion. This is to discourage GIF sharing - please don't do that. Remember - each of us is doing a +4, +2, AND +1, so there are 28 points at stake for each emotion. We're all experienced Top Model judges, so we know how to be picky
The person with the most points overall wins a trip to Deception Valley and is exempt from this round's Tribal Council. Only that one person will be going to Deception... and by "exempt" I mean "not going to Tribal" - meaning they won't be voting, either.
Now, we have two orders of business resulting from the auction. First, Chelsea's Medallion of Power WAS stated to be transferable even if she was voted out.
*pulls out Medallion*
Brenda, this is yours. You can use it on this challenge or either of the next two. If you use it at this challenge, you will be able to post a GIF for NINE of the elements as opposed to only eight.
Jen, you received a note to read at this challenge. Please read it aloud.
Jen: Congratulations on winning this prize! You have received the ability to give one player of your choosing a disadvantage at this challenge.
Jen, the disadvantage here is that whoever you choose will only get SEVEN GIFs as opposed to eight. The ONLY thing that can negate this is that thing Brenda is holding right there. Meaning if this disadvantage and the Medallion are used by the same person, they negate each other.
You are to submit eight GIFs (unless a reward says otherwise) with the proper emotion labels (if you don't do this, we won't count it!) in your confessional. Once you post it, you may not edit or delete it - if you do, you forfeit. This is to prevent cheating. You have 24 hours to post your GIFs, and if you don't post any by then, you're self-voting, regardless of reason. This challenge is not very hard, but it is... thought-provoking.
Questions? Just let me know. Good luck everybody. Survivors ready? GO.
