What are the rules? What happens, and what's the order of how the game works?

Thanks.

You never saw TV Surivivor?

Oh, I thought it was something unique. My bad.

Soooooooooo, according to what I've heard, there are alliances, and people join together to vote someone off the island? I think we'd had something similar re team vote-offs, then All-Star Player vote-offs. Would this be one of those, whereby everyone is a "5", then someone votes "+1" and "-1" for two separate players?

If not, please explain how it works. I'm not even sure, that since baseball is popular globally, if everyone here has even seen the TV Survivor shows. Personally, I don't even watch reality TV, including the one with Jose Contreras ("Surreal Life", I think it was).

It would get real intresting, real quick if you put the likes of Milton Bradley, Jeff Kent, and the infamous John Rocker(i think he has a minor league contract)

If you could put former players in too, I'd like to see Lou Pinella,Pete Rose, and Ozzie Guillen on there too.

Don't forget Joe Morgan and Rusty Staub!

Throw Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura into the mix... and Maybe Juan Marichial and John Roseboro.

uh-uh.
is it the "'yer fired" one, the one where people lose great amounts of weight, the one where "the tribe has spoken" or the "i wanna use a lifeline" one?

[VTSoxFan]

It's the one where the contestants form "tribes" and compete against other tribes, and, in underhanded duplicitous internecine backhanded ways, with their own tribal members, in contests of skill and ingenuity, to win immunity from being voted off that week. At the end of each week they have a "tribal council" in which they all gather and vote someone off, and then exchange barbed remarks with each other.

I saw one season-ending episode and can't see the attraction. Although it might be amusing to see these multimillionaire ballplayers being forced to live without room service or chewing tobacco.

^^ no room service? dude.

thanx, annie

The "You're fired" one was Donald Trump's show, in which the winner gets a 6-figure deal working for Trump himself (in one of his casinos, I think). The weight loss was the "Biggest Loser" thing. I'm not sure which was one is the "Tribe", but the "lifeline" thing I believe starred Regis Philbin, and that was a game show, "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?".

I'm not too sure I'd like to hear of players eating rats, roaches and other crazy things. Then there's the one where people get ultimate scare tests, like teetering on the side of tall buildings.

I'll have to think of some thread ideas shortly.

I'm sorry, but.... Trust me, Bud Selig would be hosting this, and you know how Bud-operated things are.

You mean it would be a tie?

[Knick9]

Exactly!

Seriously, I don't think that this will work. Plus, seeing as there are Yankee and Red Sox players on this island...
