User blog:MightyUke416/Uke's Blog Survivor Season 3 Announcement

Hey, y'all.

I know I said that I'd keep the nominations for my 3rd blog series open until Jurors vs Finalists was complete, but here's the thing.

I've received 31 pairs nominated for "Friends" and 25 pairs nominated for "Foes." Now, while this is amazing, and I never expected these many nominations, that also makes it extremely difficult to choose who to accept. Especially because way more than ten seasons were represented among the nominations. Heck, way more than 10 different authors were represented among the nominations. I do have a shortlist picked out as I attempt to give as many authors' characters a shot to be in the game as well, which has led me to make this proposal.

How would you like to do an unofficial mini-series to see which 10 "friends" and which 10 "foes" get represented in the blog game? Essentially, the pairs that I have shortlisted will compete as pairs against other friends or foes respectively, with the final 5 pairs standing advancing to the main blog game, where they compete as individuals. It will be as though they made the merge already, and there will be no votes for someone to receive an idol. Just one pair of friends and one pair of foes receiving immunity each round, and when we get down to five pairs of each, the main game will start.

Just FYI, if they are in the mini-series, but don't make it to the main game, I will not consider them as having competed, so all of those people will be eligible to be nominated for season 4 (and depending on how long they last, may be among the first to be cast in season 4 should they be nominated again).

So, that's my idea, please let me know what you guys think of this. I wouldn't start the mini-series until after Jurors vs Finalists wrap up.

Thanks for reading this, I hope you all have a great day.
