The RULES

The Specifics:

* Game lasts six weeks; it begins June 1st 2004.

* Monday and Thursday sometime before 10:00 P.M. are the TKO days. At this time a question will be posed to stimulate conversation. All contestants are required to respond to the question. This should be completed before the next voting day.

* Contestants are also encouraged to post other blogs as they wish too. Week 1 & 2, contestants limited to one post a day. Week 2 & 3: 3 posts per day. Week 4-6: Unlimited posts.

* Voting occurs on Wednesday and Saturday-Sunday. We will open the online polls at noon those afternoons and close them at 11:59 those evenings (The weekend vote will be open from noon Saturday to 11:59 Sunday).

*These timings are chosen so you will have an opportunity to post the answer to the TKO day question BEFORE the polling begins.

* The public will vote for their favorite contestant. The contestant with the most votes will win immunity. Note, no one can win immunity two voting periods in a row. The contestants will vote for their least favorite blogger to remove them from the game. Results for the elections will be announced along with the question on TKO Days.

* If there are enough contestants, starting the second week two people will be voted off during each voting period. The two contestants with the most amount of votes will be removed. This process will continue (voting two off) until an amount of contestants exists so that one can be voted off for each remaining voting period with one left on the final day.

* If a contest drops out or is inactive for two voting periods, they will be removed from the contest. The game will just be shortened by a voting period. They will not be replaced.
