It's that time again!

Here are the rules:

Snakes quoting me
 
Every TC, each player will receive between 2-5 points. If they are eliminated, I give them a fractional score based on the percentage of votes they did not receive. Their total score is just the average of all TCs they attended, and then multiplied by 20. As well, all players will receive a 0 for every post-merge TC that they missed; for example, if someone is voted off at F6, they will get a 0 for the remaining 4 TCs. The overall ranking at the end of the game will somewhat resemble the actual boot order, but there will probably be some differences.

For each individual TC, I will determine whether it is "interesting" or not. If there are 6 or more people voting and the vote is unanimous, I will call it uninteresting. If the vote eliminated someone that voted in the minority at the tribe's last eliminated TC, it is also uninteresting.

For uninteresting TCs, the scoring goes like this:

4 - They voted in the majority and received no votes.
3 - They either voted in the minority or received vote(s).

Any other TCs are interesting, and are scored like this:

5 - They voted in the majority and received no votes.
4 - They received in the majority and received one vote.
3 - They voted in the minority.
2 - They received 2 or more votes.

One slight change since #2016, the criteria for receiving a "2" and "3" post-merge has been switched. After the merge, voting in the minority in an interesting TC will score a "2" and receiving multiple votes will score a "3." This change was suggested by some spectators in #2016, but I've decided to apply it only to the post-merge, when players are more likely to be targeted for being "threats."

Here is the link to the entire list, and if you like the real show, have this. (spoilers for all past seasons)

Basically Mundo and Nautilus were both doing really well socially, and Jinx and Gnar never really talked to Liss on original tribes. So for a while it was assumed that Liss was going home, and Jinx used that as reason she was okay with her tribe losing the challenge, but of course that information got around once the tribes were able to talk again, and Lissandra then wanted to go after Jinx because of it. At that point, Liss already thought that Jinx was throwing the challenge to get rid of her, but then Jinx actually DID throw the part of the challenge that counted.

At first, everyone was basically voting Liss, and Mundo even posted in his tag team forum that Liss was going home. But according to Nautilus' confessional, Mundo was the one pushing super hard to vote out Jinx because she's really well connected, he was pissed off that she threw the challenge, and because he thought Liss would be indebted to them in the future if they saved her here.

Does throwing a challenge ever work out in the thrower's favor?

You have to be subtle about it.

I think throwing challenges is often a great idea in theory. If you'd rather see someone on your own tribe get voted off than the most likely boot on another tribe, then it's beneficial to throw a challenge. I feel like it might happen more often on the real show than we see. But it's hard to be confident enough in your position to know that going to TC will benefit you. (In BOTB, I thought that losing the challenge that sent me home was a good thing at first.)

Throwing a challenge can be good when your whole alliance is in on it. If you're going rogue and throwing a challenge without talking it through with your alliance, it makes you seem pretty unpredictable and untrustworthy.

Throwing the challenge to get rid of Russell Hantz is still one of my favorite Survivor moments.

Who cares if it actually worked out for them or not.

Throwing an individual challenge might be more common and may not eliminate as many people as throwing a tribal one.

I wonder if people who throw are in general more comfortable in their tribe and thus too comfortable which is a dangerous spot to be in.

throwing individual challenges usually goes over a lot better because you're not screwing over other people in the process :P
