Welcome to the SECOND Steemit Sole Survivor Contest!
After the success of the First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest, I wanted to run the competition again for upcoming Season of Survivor, starting February 20th airing on CBS.
Before getting to the current contest I wanted to again congratulate the winners of the First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest: @mimismartypants, @aussieninja, and @stever82 who split the 20 Steem Grand Prize and @doctorcrypto who won @o07's Ounce of Silver bonus round.
Without further ado, let's get into the Second Steemit Sole Survivor Contest. Set in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, the theme of this season is Edge of Extinction.
Survivors Ready? Go!
With the official cast revealed for Survivor Season 38 - Edge of Extinction, I'm very pleased to introduce the SECOND ever in history...

The first episode Survivor - Edge of Extinction will air on the 20th of February on CBS. This post signals the official start of the main contest which will run from now until approximately the 23rd of May, 2019.

Worth Playing For? (The Prizes)
WINNER: 20 STEEM* to the Steemian who correctly guesses the winner of Survivor 38 - The Edge of Extinction by Wednesday the 20th of February at 9am Eastern Standard Time (EST).
ADDITIONAL PRIZES: May be added if we pick up sponsorships along the way.
* Astute readers will notice I don't actually have 20 Steem to give away at the moment. Not to worry, dear Steemians, I'm planning on saving up the prize along the way as I did last year.
Steemit Sole Survivor Contest Rules
Pick the ONE contestant who you think will be the winner at the end of this season of Survivor - The Edge of Extinction. Guesses must be placed in the comment section of THIS POST by the Wednesday the 20th of February at 9am Eastern Standard Time (EST). At that point, your choice will be locked. Until that time, feel free to edit, delete, change as desired. I will create a final post summarizing everyone's final and locked picks.
If more than one Steemian correctly picks the Sole Survivor, the 20 Steem prize will be split evenly between those with the winning pick.
If no Steemian guesses correctly, prizes will be as follows: 15 STEEM for the Steemian whose contestant remains in the game the longest, 5 STEEM for the Steemian that stays in second longest.
Survivor seasons can be unpredictable - I'll do my best to fairly distribute the prizes in case of any ties or major twists!
Come on in guys!

It is Time to Vote
This contest is ON! Out of the 18 Survivor - The Edge of Extinction contestants pictured/listed above, who do you think will be this season's winner/Sole Survivor?
Let's see those guesses in the comment section below!
Previously on Survivor
First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest and also ran Weekly Survivor competitions with free give aways. I'm back this season for round two.@suitcasemama and I are huge (and extremely nerdy) fans of the American reality show called Survivor. You know the one - where you have to survive on a deserted island, play silly challenges, and vote people off the island. I gave away 20 Steem during last season's
The Tribe Has Spoken
I will also occasionally run weekly contests where you will guess who's next to be voted off the island. I may run a mid-season contest as well, depending on interest. These are in addition to this main contest so they will be in separate posts. Look for those announcements, coming soon!
Good luck to all and I hope you enjoy the contest!

Thanks to @rufusfirefly Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it! @martin.mikes coordinator of @kedjom-keku
I’m in! Let’s do it! Need to do more research this time before I pick my winner.

Sweet! Glad to have you aboard @torrey.blog!
Just had a thought. Can I pitch in some STEEM for prizes?. Would you rather grow the grand prize or have more weekly prizes?
Posted using Partiko iOS
Awesome!! Thanks so much, that's huge!!! It might be nice to spread it out on to the weeklies, because that prize will only be what the post earns, which is usually pretty low. There will be 12/13 episodes probably, although I'm traveling a bit soon, so may not be able to host every single week...
Sounds great! I’ll sponsor some weekly prizes
Posted using Partiko iOS
Hey @torrey.blog! Are you on Discord? I'm hoping to find some time soon to start a few weekly contests :)
And have you been able to see any of the new episodes? We're enjoying the twist this season!
Yes! Just sent you a message on Discord.
My pick is Joe Anglim. One of the most experienced guys out there, definitely a threat, but a likeable threat. Third time’s a charm.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Okay, Joe it is! I think a lot of fans would love to see him pull it out this time!
Aubry Bracco
Welcome to the contest @schachoberhessen! Your choice of returning player Aubry is noted!!
I am back again to support this contest. It was total luck last time so let us try that again. I am going with Chris Underwood
@stever82, defending champion, has spoken!! Chris Underwood it is!!
my guess: Lauren O'Connell
Welcome to the contest @schach! Your vote for Lauren is noted!!!
Nice! I'm in this time.
Ill pick Dan DaSilva
Great! Your pick for Dan is recorded!
David Wright. I got a good feeling about him!
Posted using Partiko iOS
Alright, noted! David Wright is a returning player, so he might have the experience advantage!
Woot! That time again.
My pick is Lauren O'Connell this time.
Lauren, got it!
Yes!!!
With no further research than looking at the photos above, I'd like to pick Ron Clark as my super mega survivor for this new season... He looks like a sun-smart, down to business kinda guy.
Alright, @aussieninja going for back to back wins, the oracle has spoken! Ron Clark, duly noted!
Heck yes!
I'm in!!!!!!
Just by looking at the cast photos... I am going with
"Pretty boy" Joe Anglim.
Okay, Joe it is! Hopefully his prettiness doesn't make him a target!
Dan the wardog dasilva!! Mwahaha!
Welcome to the contest @deceth, your vote for Dan is noted!
I am in! I can’t believe it is on again so soon. It is soon isn’t it? Or have I lost all sense of time? 😂🤣
Let me look at these people and pick my winner.
Awesome, welcome back! Standing by for your choice! Your pick last time, Alison Raybould, did quite well, I think she finished 5th out of 20, not bad!
This is soooo hard. And the returning players mean things are going to be hardcore right from day one with strategy and alliances.... oh jeez.... ummmm I pick... Rick Devens. Lol
Okay, Rick it is! And you're right, this season should be full-on from the start!
Keeping my fingers crossed for Eric Hafemann :)
Okay, Eric it is! Gooooood luck!!!
¡Hola @eoj! gusto saludarte, elijo a Keith Sowell, cariños y besos.
Saludos desde Tailandia! Your choice of Keith Sowell is noted. Suerte!!! :)
Ohh @eoj I remember that not so far ago previous season ended and here the new season it's cool! At this time I hope Dan "TheWardog" DaSilva will win! 🤞
Posted using Partiko Android
Great to have you back @travoved! Your vote for The Wardog is noted! :)
David Wright
He has the convenient outlook to win.
Posted using Partiko Android
Welcome to the contest @oadissin. Your guess of David has been recorded, good luck!
Sweet!
My choice is Rick Devens. I think the nerdy folks are usually a safe bet when you don't have much info to go on. I don't have high hopes for the people who are returning to the game, and the big guys are always the first to go after the merge.
Okay, Rick it is! I tend to agree, I don't usually give the returning players much of a chance, but with this new twist it should be interesting to see how it plays out!
How did I miss this last season?!?! I am definitely in!
My pick for the winner will be Gavin Whitson.
Welcome to the contest @knowledge-seeker, glad to have you on board! Your vote for Gavin is noted, good luck!
Rick Devens
Thanks for the chance @eoj!!
Welcome @summertooth, glad to have you with us! Acknowledging your guess for Rick, good luck!
@mimismartypants:
Oh.
No!
I just noticed I screwed up with my transfer of your prize last season!!
I sent 6.7 Steem to @mim instead of to you! Who is @mim you ask? I have no idea! I'm going to go ahead and blame our infant @suitcasebaby for turning my brain to sleep deprived mush because that's what I hear good Dads do.
And I will transfer you the prize now. Sorry about that!!
Dude!!! No worries!! I just became a mama late during late December and im frazzled AF!! Lol so totally understand!! This porridge brain is real!! Nice suprise too as i completely forgot survivor existed, its been a hell of a ride, im watching netflix at 2am instead!!
