RC #2 - "Influx in Karma"

[Jeff Probst]

Good afternoon Castaways, and welcome to this week's RC! Rincon, get your first look at the new Kralendijk tribe. Tyler was voted out at the last TC. Today's challenge is called "Influx in Karma."

Below you will find a list of questions from the TV version of Survivor: Borneo. Your task is simple: Answer the questions correctly in a timely fashion! The more questions you answer correctly and the faster you submit them, the more Karma points you will earn.

Here's how scoring will work: The first Castaway to answer all ten questions correctly will win 12 Karma points. The second to do so will win 11, and so on. If you do not get all the questions correct, then you will receive the next point value after the Castaway who gets ten correct and submits their answer last. Rincon, because you have one extra member, someone is sitting out. Jennifer, you have been randomly selected to sit this challenge out.

For example, take the following scores and times into account:
Abbie gets 9 correct, submits answer at 5:02 PM.
Ashley gets 10 correct, submits answer at 5:00 PM.
Brandon gets 6 correct, submits answer at 4:46 PM.
Candi gets 10 correct, submits answer at 6:03 PM.
Christy gets 10 correct, submits answer at 5:56 PM.
Colleen gets 4 correct, submits answer at 4:39 PM.
David gets 8 correct, submits answer at 5:12 PM.
Elliott gets 10 correct, submits answer at 5:40 PM.
Jen gets 9 correct, submits answer at 5:22 PM.
Jill gets 10 correct, submits answer at 7:05 PM.
Tamara gets 8 correct, submits answer at 4:50 PM.
Yasin gets 9 correct, submits answer at 5:58 PM.

The results would be as follows:
1st - Ashley - 12 points
2nd - Elliott - 11 points
3rd - Christy - 10 points
4th - Candi - 9 points
5th - Jill - 8 points
6th - Abbie - 7 points
7th - Jen - 6 points
8th - Yasin - 5 points
9th - Tamara - 4 points
10th - David - 3 points
11th - Brandon - 2 points
12th - Colleen - 1 point

As for the team aspect of this challenge, the tribe with the most collective points will win a bonus 10 Karma points! In the above example, Kralendijk would end with 49 points and Rincon would end with 29 points, making Kralendijk the winner. If there is a tie, whichever tribe the 1st-place Castaway is on will win. In addition, the Castaway who receives the highest amount of points from the winning tribe will win the first two clues to the II!

This RC will last until tomorrow at 10:30 AM. At that time, I will tabulate the results if everyone has not submitted. If everyone submits their answers early, I will post the results early. Please PM me with your answers so I can easily see the order in which Castaways submit. If you have any questions, please ask!

Here are the questions:
1. In what year did the show debut on TV?
2. How many Castaways were on the show?
3. Who was the youngest Castaway, and what was their age?
4. Who was the oldest Castaway, and what was their age?
5. How many challenges were won by the Tagi tribe?
6. Who won the most individual challenges, and how many did they win?
7. Which Castaways received votes during Week 7?
8. Which Castaways made Survivor: All-Stars?
9. Who won the show?
10. Which Castaways voted for the person who won the show?

Survivors ready? Go!

Since Ashley is dealing with the loss of her grandfather, I won't hold this challenge against her. She will sit out along with David from Rincon.

Okay, the results are in! They are as follows:

1st - Abbie - 10/10 - 4:58 PM - 10 points
2nd - Brandon - 9/10 - 4:38 PM - 9 points
3rd - Colleen - 9/10 - 4:51 PM - 8 points
4th - Elliott - 9/10 - 6:37 PM - 7 points
5th - Yasin - 9/10 - 7:24 PM - 6 points
6th - Jen - 8/10 - 4:41 PM - 5 points
7th - Jill - 8/10 - 4:48 PM - 4 points
8th - Tamara - 8/10 - 4:49 PM - 3 points
9th - Christy - 8/10 - 4:51 PM - 2 points
10th - Candi - 0/10 - 7:17 PM - 1 point

Therefore, Kralendijk's total is 32 points, while Rincon received 23 points. Kralendijk wins Reward! Each Castaway on Kralendijk will win 10 bonus Karma points! Abbie, since you scored highest for Kralendijk, you will receive the first two clues to the II as well! Please check your PM's for these.

Here are the answers:

1. 2000
2. 16
3. Jenna - 23
4. Rudy - 72
5. 5
6. Kelly - 5
7. Colleen, Gervase, Gretchen, Jenna, Richard, Rudy, and Sue
8. Jenna, Richard, Rudy, and Sue
9. Richard
10. Greg, Rudy, Sean, and Sue

Most of you said Jenna and Kelly were the youngest Castaways. This is true; however, I asked for a single Castaway. Therefore, you had to research both birthdays and find that Jenna was in fact younger than Kelly.
