| Pool B tests your ability to predict the order in which the final 8 Survivors are voted off. It works as follows: After each Survivor is voted off (generally once per episode, with the exception of the finale), you are given 1 point for each Survivor that remains on your active list that still remains in the game. Your active list is determined based on your picks that you have locked in. You are asked to order the final 8 Survivors from lowest ("First") to highest ("Eighth). At each tribal council vote, the current lowest Survivor is removed from your active list (think of this as you having your own personal tribal council and voting off a Survivor). For example, after the first tribal council, you now have 7 Survivors in your active list, and 7 Survivors remain in the game. If your correctly predicted who the first Survivor was to be voted off, the 7 Survivors in your active list would match the 7 remaining Survivors and you would score a maximum 7 points. If you had incorrectly predicted the first Survivor voted off, your active list would contain the Survivor that actually was voted off and you would not receive a point for that Survivor. Instead, you would only receive 6 points. Depending on how long until the Survivor you had predicted to be voted off first is actually voted off, you will now be at a disadvantage since your maximum number of points you can score is reduced by 1. This disadvantage is not impossible to overcome provided you were at least close in determining the correct order. This scoring procedure repeats at each tribal council until the Sole Survivor is crowned. |
