Come and jump in our Pool!

by Lessa

WSbutton.jpgThat’s right! This season, we here at Watching Survivor have the chance to participate in our very own Pool! So grab your rubber ducky and check out the floating ba…. wait. Not THAT kind of pool! This is an online version of what office’s and friends and family do all over the place, making predictions and earning points until an eventual winner is crowned! Jim, over at FunOfficePools.com has graciously invited us, walked me through the process, and helped me set up our very own Watching Survivor Micronesia Pool! And did I mention? It’s TOTALLY FREE to join and play!

Here’s how it works:

Step one: Click here and join! I know, easy right?
Step two: Make your picks for who is going to be voted off Week One! You can spread you’re points around, or put them all on one. You can change you’re mind up until the countdown clock hits zero.
Step three: Make your Overall Winner pick! If your pick wins, you will get 40 points, second gets 20 and third gets 10.
Step four: Check back EVERY WEEK to see how you’re doing in the standings and make your next week’s predictions!
(if you need help choosing your first weeks picks, check out the previous posts -here, here, here and here- where I’ve already begun snarking on the contestants!)

At the end of the season, whoever has the most points wins! What will you win? Well, total bragging rights, first off. I’m still working on the rest. As of now:

Grand Prize: A button declaring you the Sole Pool Survivor posted on here and linked to your site.
2nd Prize: A smaller button declaring you pretty darn awesome as well and linked to your site.
3rd Prize: The smallest of the three buttons, but hey - It’s a link!

And you will, of course, be able to have a copy of your button to plaster wherever you want.

I’m working on some other ideas as well, but I won’t have everything cemented for a couple weeks yet - but it’ll TOTALLY be worth it! If you’re interested in donating something fabulous for a prize, please let me know by clicking that ‘contact me’ button over there, or leaving a comment and I’ll get back to you straight away. Otherwise you’ll be stuck with the buttons and whatever I choose for the winner! (grin)

So what are you waiting for? Click HERE and sign up today! Invite your friends to do the same! The more people we have, the more fun it’ll be - so spread the word!
