Pool Rules

8 is Enough · Survivor 50 Family Pool

Winner Picks (Pre-Season)

  • Before the premiere, each pool member picks 2 contestants they think will win Survivor 50.
  • Picks are submitted via the AI chatbot on this site.
  • Deadline: Before the Season 50 premiere (Feb 25, 2026 at 8pm ET).
  • Your picks are locked once submitted.
  • Overall standings determined by how far your picks make it + weekly prediction points.

Scoring & Three Winners

There are three ways to win the pool:

1. Best Survivor Pick

Whose 2 contestant picks survive the longest.

2. Weekly Predictions Champion

Most total points from weekly predictions.

3. Overall Winner

Combined pick survival points + weekly prediction points.

Pick Scoring

  • 3 pts per week your pick survives, per pick
  • +10 bonus if your pick is the Sole Survivor

Weekly Predictions

Each week, before the episode airs, custom predictions are posted that change based on where the season is. Here's an example of what a week could look like:

Which tribe wins immunity?+5 pts
Who gets voted out?+5 pts
Will a hidden immunity idol be played?
+3/-3
Will there be a blindside?
+2/-2

Risk/Reward: Some props are marked as risk predictions. Get it right for bonus points, but get it wrong and you lose points. For yes/no risk props, answering "no" is always safe (0 pts either way).

Points vary by week depending on the props.
