How Points are Scored

[Yoggington]

Please note all scoring is done at host discretion. Sometimes - particularly at TC - exact fits can be hazy and host discretion will be used. If you feel there is something missed or overlooked, let us know asap and we'll take a look at it. Some scoring factors may be tweaked as the Season and it's twists are revealed.

We are always looking for feedback for this Season and next; these values will not be locked in until the weekend before the Season begins. You should leave comments to that effect over here.

Confessionals

+5 Points: Regular Confessional given.
+8 Points: Pre-Intro Confessional given. TWEAK
+10 Points: Confessional given, in which Survivor cries. NEW

All individual confessionals (whether it be during the game or after being voted out) count as ONE confessional, unless intersected by some sort of significant action, or a clear change of location/topic.

If intersected by a non-confessional scene then the resuming confessional would still count as one confessional with the first section (example, Tyson talks about stealing coconuts, then a shot of him and Gervase drinking coconuts and talking and laughing, and then back to Tyson talking about Gervase being tight with him, it will be deemed as ONE confessional). However, if the hosts determine an intersected confessional is a new topic/scene, they will decide as to whether it counts as one or more confessionals.

In lieu of no intro being shown, it will be at the host's discretion to choose the natural episode ~starting point~ to choose to judge pre-intro confessionals.

Impromtu Probst Questioning NEW

+5 Points: Probst asks a Survivor by name a question before or after the challenge

Tribal Immunity Challenges

+5 Points: Person collects idol from Probst NEW

+100 Points/Survivors: Tribe places 1st in immunity challenge
+75 Points/Survivors: Tribe places 2nd in three-tribe challenge (must also win immunity)

Immunity Challenge wins: +100 points divided by competitors on winning tribe/team, rounded down to nearest whole number. (i.e. A tribe of 10 gets +10 points each; tribe of 5 +20 points each.
Points are only awarded to those who compete (i.e. if a tribe of 6 has 5 members competing, then it is 100 points divided by 5, but only the 5 competing are awarded points. The member who sits out gets nothing). TWEAK

Immunity challenge second place (where earning immunity) works the same ways, except with a pot of 75 split between the tribe.

Individual Immunity Challenges

+20 Points: Wins individual immunity at Final 12 or earlier
+25 Points: at Final 11
+30 Points: at Final 10
+35 Points: at Final 9
+40 Points: at Final 8

+100 Points: at Final 3

-5 Points: (from score above) Won challenge using advantage
-10 Points: Drops out during challenge for food/comfort bribe
-20 Points: Sits out of challenge for food/comfort bribe

If two or more Survivors win immunity at the same stage, both will be eligible for the same points. E.g. Kelley and Keith both won immunity as last-standing male and female at Final 7 in Cambodia, both earned +45 Points.

Tribal Reward Challenges

+50 Points/Survivors: Tribe wins reward challenge
+35 Points/Survivors: Tribe places 2nd in three-tribe reward challenge (must also win a reward)

Reward Challenge win: +50 points divided by tribe/team competitors, rounded down to nearest whole number (ie. tribe of 10 gets +5 points each; tribe of 4 gets +12 points each). Points are only awarded to those who compete (same deal as immunity challenges) TWEAK

Reward challenge second place (where earning a reward) works the same way, except with a pot of 35 split between the tribe.

Individual Reward Challenges

+10 Points: Survivor wins Reward Challenge
+5 Points: Is chosen to come on reward by winner
+5 Points: Given reward in place of winner. (Original winner still keeps +10) TWEAK

+10 points for each person on winning team if reward challenge divides Survivors into teams.

Auction Scoring

+5 Points: Survivor auction food win.
-5 Points: Survivor auction dud prize.
+10 Points: Probst uses the words "all the fixins'" and player wins that food prize.
+20 Points: Survivor auction game advantage win (ie. HII clue/challenge advantage/game advantage)(Over-rides regular points for earning an advantage)

#Hashtags

+5 Points: Relevant hashtag used

If a hashtag is played over a scene and refers specifically to certain Survivors, then each Survivor involved gets 5 points. An example is #coconutbandits being used for Gervase and Tyson stealing coconuts. If it is a generic hashtag, such as #immunitychallenge, no points are awarded. Points awarded at the hosts' discretion.

Treemail

+5 Points: Reads Treemail

If more than one person reads Treemail, 5 points per person.

Finding Idols & Game Advantages

+5 Points: Finding/receiving an idol/advantage clue (non-auction)
+10 Points: Finding/receiving a game advantage (non-auction) NEW

+20 Points: Finding/receiving an idol

All points divided by number of people who found/received the clue/idol/other, rounded down to nearest whole number but not less than 1 point. Eg. one person finds a clue: +5 points; two people find together: +2 points each; three people or more: 1 point each.

These points only count on initial finding. When Kyle passes his idol to Scot, this does not count as receiving another idol.

For idol usage points, see TC section.

Episode Namer

+5 Points: Utters the quote that becomes the CBS official Episode title NEW

+5 per person if shared.

Lets Get Physical NEW

+40 Points: Moment of physical intimacy on the island

40 Points per person. Can only be earned once per Season per person. Must be genuine romantic hooking up/kiss, formed-on-the-island couple, and not just Tai & Caleb smooch moment.

Medical Attention NEW

-5 Points: Jeff requires medical to take a look at you

Sabotage NEW

-10 Points: Sabotages camplife in some way (e.g. rice dump)
-5 Points: Sabotages personal property in some way (e.g. burning socks)

Points to be divided by participants and rounded down. Eg Brandon dumping the rice is 10 off him. Scot/Kyle/Tai hiding the tools is -3 points each.

Personal property points can only be gained once per episode, not once per incident.

Quitting

-100 Points: Survivor quits the game

This only applies if a player quits by their own decision. If the Medical unit pulls a player from the game, they will not be penalised. However if Medical says they can continue and it is their decision to leave, for example Dana quitting in Survivor Philippines, then it counts as a quit and a negative score.

Speaking

+5 Points: Talks with Jeff during a line of questioning
+8 Points: Talks with Jeff "out-of-turn" TWEAK
+2 Points: Audibly speaking (or subtitled) with other survivors outside Jeff's questioning NEW

Points are awarded only once each time Jeff Probst asks a question or makes a statement. So if he asks a question and two people bicker back and forth, those two only get one set of points each. But if he asks a new question, then everyone can once again claim points for speaking.

Each of Jeff's lines of enquiry is started with a name. When answering here, a Survivor gets five points. However, if a different Survivor jumps in or cuts across, this is "out-of-turn" and worth extra.

Any whispering in the background not meant for Jeff's ears, is worth two points so long as the viewer gets to hear/read it.

Jurors at TC

+5 Points: Single shot of juror's face shown during tribal council
+8 Points: Juror speaks audibly, or is subtitled NEW

+50 Points: Juror make a gesture to those still in the game that is blurred out. e.g. Kass fingers.

Juror must be the only person in shot for the +5. Speaking audibly means actual words that we can hear, not just oohs or ahhs.

Note these points do not count for the Final Tribal Council.

Voting

-4 Points: Each Vote cast against Survivor (for initial vote only, there is no re-vote penalty) TWEAK

+5 Points: Vote parchment is shown to camera
+10 Points: Vote parchment is hidden/obscured, but comment is heard NEW

+10 Points: Votes correctly, for Survivor that leaves game
+5 Points: Votes for person with highest votes but they were saved by HII
+5 Points: Vote is tied, voted for one of tied parties.
+1 Points: Votes incorrectly, for Survivor that does not leave game

+5 points: Votes for person in re-vote and they are voted out
+1 Point: Votes for person in re-vote and they are not voted out (includes tied re-vote)

+5 Points: Draws rock and is not eliminated
-10 Points: Draws rock and is eliminated

-10 Points: The boot is described as a blindside

These points can stack for revotes except where noted. E.g. a Survivor can gain +5 for voting for a tied part, plus another +1 for voting that person on the revote but it tying again, plus another +5 for pulling a non-purple rock.

For the blindside points, it must be described then and there by Jeff Probst (uses the word "blindside") or a #blindside hashtag must flash on screen.

Immunity Idols

+50 Points: Hidden Immunity Idol used correctly (ie. is highest or equal highest vote getter)
-50 Points: Voted out with HII in possession (50 per idol)

The Hidden Immunity Idol can only score tribal council points for the person who possesses it. If it is passed to someone else BEFORE tribal council, then that person is deemed to possess it as the new owner. If it is passed to someone else DURING tribal council then any points (whether positive or negative) are attributed to the person who had possession of the idol prior to tribal council.

+50 Points: Votes for winner at FTC

If runner-ups are tied, then still +20 no matter which way they voted)

The Legacy Advantage

+10 Points: Finding/receiving a game advantage (non-auction)
+5 Points: Having the Legacy Advantage willed to you NEW

Jessica received +10 for finding the Legacy Advantage. As the very nature of this advantage is for it to be passed on, we've decided that each time this "willed" to a new player after someone's exit, the next player will receive +5 for being the chosen one.

There will also be an additional set of points (another +5 or maybe +10) for the final person holding it, i.e. being the person who actually plays it. The value will be decided when we see what it is.
