Welcome everyone to your next Scavenger/Survival Challenge. It's a little bit early, but since it's not time-sensitive, it doesn't matter.
For this challenge, you can play for either Immunity or a Mystery Prize that you will automatically use this round. Either way, you will complete the challenge in the same manner, but when you either PM me your answers or post them in your confessional (either mode of submission is acceptable), you will specify whether you are going for Immunity or the Mystery Prize.
For this challenge, I want you to give me the name of someone who has been on a season of Survivor (that has already aired) beginning with each letter of the alphabet (Like Alicia Rosa for the letter A and Stephannie Favor for S). I want you to give me both the first and last name of the contestant. This is so that if someone submits Rob Mariano and someone else submits Rob Cesternino, they are counted as being different people, cause if you just submit "Rob" I won't know which Rob you're talking about. Failure to submit a full name (first and last) causes you to automatically forfeit that point. For every unique name you give (a name no one else puts for that letter), you will earn a point. Nicknames are not accepted. It has to be their actual first and last name.
Now, I know there are no previous Survivors who have had names beginning with the letters Q, U, and X, so you have a choice to make in those spots. In place of those three letters, you can double-up on any other letter you wish.
For example, if you submit Alicia Rosa for the letter A and want to submit another name beginning with A, you can replace the letter Q with the letter A and submit Alicia Calaway. That answer you give in place of the letter Q will be compared to the other names given for A. Basically, it's just giving you two chances to score with the letter A since you'd have no shot with the letter Q. You can do the same thing for the letters U and X. Replace them with a different letter.

2nd Tiebreaker - At the start of this challenge, how many PMs do I have in my inbox?
Now, as for the actual scoring, your answers will only be compared to the people who are going after the same prize as you. So, if Carrie put Alicia Calaway as her answer for A and is going for Immunity while Allen put Alicia Calaway as his answer for A, but is going for the Mystery Prize, both will still earn a point, since their lists would then be counted exclusively of one another.
However, I will be asking the jury to participate in this challenge and the answers they give will count for both groups. Also, they will be competing for a prize that they get to give out. If all players in the game go for Immunity, then the juror who scores the highest will win the right to select which remaining player gets the Mystery Prize. If all players go for the Mystery Prize, then the juror who scores the highest will get to select which player gets Immunity. If there are players going for both Immunity and the Mystery Prize, then there will be a separate reward that the juror who scores the highest will be able to give out to a remaining player.
In the event of a tie, then I will be comparing all lists regardless of what group you're competing in. If that does not break the tie, then we go to my 2nd Tiebreaker question listed above (which is right below the set of 26 letters).
You have until 11:59pm (eastern) tomorrow to complete your lists. That's a little over 25 hours. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
