If I receive all the votes before the time listed, I shall post the results. Otherwise, I will talk to you all again Saturday, November 24, at 1pm PST for Tribal Council Results.

Challenge 10 would then take place at 6pm PST. It is a live challenge, so please be sure to be there AT THE START. The challenge will last about an hour. Please show up early so I can explain the rules and give us time to work around any possible technical problems.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, this_is_the_life, your time in this game has come to an end.

You may post a goodbye message in this thread, and then you will leave the island and be given an endless supply of wordsearch puzzles that you will be forced to work on.. Have fun!

But wait! There's more! You are now the third member of the jury! You now hold the power that will eventually help decide who will be the Sole Survivor!
Until then, you will be given a nice little desk to do your wordsearches at.

Everyone else, I’ll see you at the next Challenge. There's cake waiting for you back at camp.

Challenge 10 will start Saturday November 24th, at 6pm PST (8pm CST). This is a live challenge, so everyone should be there at the start. I will be here at 5pm to help with any technical difficulties. If you don't come early to check for problems and you do end up having problems, you will not be able to participate. I expect the challenge to last about an hour.

See you around, folks!

I know there's not supposed to be chit chat, but

Tree Mail:

Oh, sweet Melanie,
What can the problem be?
You are calling me a felon?!?
To that I scream, "Ee! I am LN!"

Challenge 10 - Leg Almanac Hanger

Leg Almanac Hanger? LameProbst what the heck is a Leg Almanac Hanger? And what on earth does that have anything to do with this challenge?

Well, it's a quite simple explanation, really. The purpose of this challenge is anagrams. I, personally, love anagrams. They can be weird, funny, unusual, meaningful, or complete nonsense.

But LameProbst, what IS an anagram? And you STILL haven't explained how anagrams or this Leg Almanac Hanger thing relate to this challenge!

Ah, yes. An anagram is simply a re-arrangement of the letters in a word or phrase. "Hen Pest", for example, is an anagram of the very cool name "Stephen." All the letters are still there, but they are simply "scrambled" to form a new word, phrase, or nonsense.

And this is what today's challenge is all about. In the challenge, everyone will be given an anagram of a Weird Al song title, and your job will be to figure out which song created it.
If there's still any questions, they can be asked in the chat room.

Ok, fine! So what is Leg Almanac Hanger?!

Anagram Challenge!

And in case anyone is still wondering, "EE! I am LN" is an anagram of "Melanie" and as such, Melanie will not be a possible answer during the challenge. All other songs will be used, if time permits, and will only be used once. You may use this fact to keep track of the possible answers.

This challenge is a "live" challenge, where all Survivors are playing at the same time. A transcript of the challenge will be provided before Tribal Council.

The Survivor with the most correct answers at the end of the challenge will win Immunity.

Have fun, players! Most players are in the chat, and it will start in 15 minutes, so please ask your questions there.

[The Doctor]

After an hour, the points are as follows:

Hippielishus - 2
Keir - 15
U62 - 6
weirdalisthephantomoftheopera - 5
NerdyNyara27 5

Keir has won Immunity!

We are having so much fun, we are going to do some more anagrams for fun. Please join us, even if you aren't in the game!
