Survivor 41: Blog Pool Opens! Plus Cast Info!

Survivor 41 premieres next Wednesday, September 22, with a two-hour show starting at 8PM ET/PT. Yes, BB23 is pushed back to 10PM ET/PT that night and its finale is the next Wednesday, September 29th.

The Lovely Lifeguard Laurie has once again graciously offered to run the blog pool for the show. She, but of course, rocks!

I want in! What do I do?

If you want in to the blog pool, you need to sign up in the comments of this post and this post only! Please don't try signing up on any other posts -- we might miss your comment.

Is there money involved in this?

Of course not! You needn't pay anything to get into the pool. You don't need to buy a pool pass or anything! Mind you, you don't win any money either. What you do win is bragging rights until the next season and the smugness that goes with it.

How does it work?

Lifeguard Laurie makes random picks for the castaways and the blog folks. You cheer on that castaway all season until they either win or get their torch snuffed along the way.

When is the cut-off for entering?

All pool requests must be in comments to this here post ONLY and submitted by Tuesday, September 21, 3pm ET. Be there or be square.
