A few words from Gary:

All right. Are you guys ready to get to our own first immunity challenge?

For this challenge, both tribes wrote individual entries inspired by the Survivor classic “Quest for Fire.”

But the real test comes now - you will vote for your favorite entries. You can, as is customary for Idol, vote for as many as you want to support. Voting is open to anyone with a Dreamwidth (or compatible) account. So feel free to spread the word so others can enjoy reading these entries as well!

The scores of these entries will be added together, and then divided by the number of tribe members, to determine the winner.

The tribe with the highest total will win immunity - the losers will head to tribal council, where someone will hold the distinction of being the first person voted off Survivor: LJ Idol.

wolfden, by virtue of not being picked, had the option of staying on the sit out bench, or participating just for the sake of competing. She chose to play!

Her results will not factor into anyone’s final score. She will be joining the losing tribe.

Your first challenge awaits - https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1071351.html

How has your shelter been holding up? Were you able to find the well?

Has anyone tried the aquadump yet? Hopefully you aren’t using that nearby cave. The bats aren’t going to like it.

Production note: With any new show, there is a learning curve, and sometimes changes need to be made midstream as things are figured out. The prompt/topic posts are being changed to “Treemail”, and the Pre-Challenge Mats will now follow them, rather than precede. Immunity Challenge will now be the label on the official poll. These “Camp Life” posts are just general “Green Room type” to give folx a chance to interact around camp while we wait for the entries to be posted.

Have there been people leaving camp in small groups? Or someone spending a little too much time alone “collecting firewood?”

I have been asked questions about your first challenge https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1071351.html

So I thought it would be good at make sure everyone is on the same page.

- Yes. This is just like LJ idol. You take the prompt anyway you want to go. There are no word counts or specific style rules.

- You can work with your tribe on your entry, but ultimately it's your entry. That said, the combined vote totals of every member will be taken into account in determining who "wins the challenge." So if tribes want to help each other out, that's fine too.

- Will there be a Work Room? No. You can use spaces like this, or Camp Life posts (the first one is coming tomorrow) for that sort of thing.

- Will there be Green Rooms? Green Rooms don't exist on deserted tropical islands. :) But see the answer above for what the equivalent space will be. They won't be every day though, and mostly just during the challenge periods.

Production camp posts will appear after every Challenge is announced or when there is an important announcement.

Here we are - the first challenge.

This is like an obstacle course, but with words. Your words.

You will be using the provided prompt to write an entry. You will then link that entry back to this post. It’s just like LJ Idol in that regard. It’s something all of you have experience with.

It’s only appropriate that here, in the first challenge of Survivor: LJ Idol, that we pay tribute to the first challenge of Survivor: Borneo. (In the US version it also appeared in Australian Outback, Africa, Marquesas, All Stars and Cambodia. You don’t get more of a classic Survivor challenge than this one!)

Which is why your prompt is

Quest for Fire

The deadline to link your entry in the comments is Monday, Oct 26th at 7pm ET

Survivors ready? Go!!!
