You all are going to need rules for this game - am I right? I'm right; don't answer me there. So I'm just going to read these myself. Makes things easier that way. Folks, here are the rules.

1. Five votes will eliminate a show, but I will add one for every division that we advance to until we get to nine votes.

2. One vote after every update. I will try to update around 12:00am EST. If I update early, you're okay to vote again.

3. Any player who has voted correctly seven or more times will be allowed to Seek Revenge ONE time on behalf of a show. You may bring back any of the last five shows that have been eliminated. No show or voter may Seek Revenge more than once, and under no circumstance will you have more than three days to Seek Revenge. This feature will become null and void when we are down to five shows. Any player who has voted correctly five or more times will be allowed to vote in the final two portion of the game, only to make it fair to those players who have voted on a constant basis.

4. You may vote for a show up to six times, but you may not vote a show off by yourself. You also may not vote for a show four days in a row or five times in six days. If a show is brought back via Seek Revenge, then you may vote up to six more times for that show, but the above rules will apply.

5. If a person does not vote for a show up for a feature, then their vote will not count, and will not be considered a legal vote for validation. I'm sorry; but if you don't want to vote on some things, I have the right to do this.

6. Please try to make sure that when you vote, you give not only the host but other voters some sort of easy to understand vote. For instance, "P+" is acceptable, while something like "Yeah boyyyyyyyy" isn't. It saves some of my sanity from running away.

7. If you think a show is getting too high in the standings, you may nominate it for Sudden Death. The next day, everyone votes on it and casts their opinion as to whether the show should stay or go. Majority rules. Ties are in favor of the show. Once a show is brought back via Seek Revenge, a show cannot be nominated for Sudden Death again. If a show survives the first Sudden Death, you may nominate it for a Sudden Death Appeal. Same rules for a traditional Sudden Death apply.

8. A Freeze Frame can be used up to two times on any show (and only two times, even if a show has been brought back via Seek Revenge. A show protected by Freeze Frame cannot have a vote cast on it and will start the second a voter requests that one is used. Freeze Frames will expire in three days (on the fourth update after the awarding, so nobody grasps straws over what minute). They cannot be used if a show is either facing or is nominated for Sudden Death. Freeze Frames cannot stack, so one needs to expire first before another one can be used. Freeze Frames become null and void if there are not at least five shows left to vote for (classified as anything that isn't already in a Freeze Frame). I ask that in order to give a show a Freeze Frame, that show has to have at least one vote to their name.

9. BRE\-/KDOWN can be used one time per show. When used, this will allow four votes to be subtracted from the player's total (and cannot put a show in the red). This may be used in conjunction and/or during a Freeze Frame, but it will not affect Sudden Death voting. This feature may be used a second time if a show has been brought back via Seek Revenge.

10. You may nominate a show for a 10-Spot the same way you nominate a show for Sudden Death. If the majority of people agree, the nominated show will require ten votes to be eliminated. 10-Spots can be used with any other feature except for the fact that you cannot nominate a show for both a 10-Spot and Sudden Death on the same day. (You can still nominate a 10-Spotted show for Sudden Death later on in the game, if you so choose.) Please, no more than three 10-Spot nominations in a day. All 10-Spots will expire when we have hit ten votes to eliminate shows.

11. The Plus/Minus feature (+/-) will add two votes to a show's tally while subtracting two votes from the tally of another show. Using this feature cannot put either show above the vote aggregate or below zero votes. You may use one plus and one minus per show, but you must not cancel one Plus/Minus with another. You may not combine this feature with your regular vote.

The following move is illegal and will not be accepted:
+ to Survivor, - to American Idol
+ to American Idol, - to Survivor

The following move is legal and will be accepted:
+ to The Price is Right, - to Lingo
+ to Lingo, - to Show Me the Money

12. Throughout the game, there will be special days for you to vote more than once. Some days will be by force; some days will be by choice. I may also hold Triple Threat days, where one player may be able to vote three times in one day.

13. Any attempt to abuse or subvert the features will result in a Double Whammy against the player. It will automatically generate a one strike penalty and I may award an extra Freeze Frame or BRE\-/KDOWN! (up to a maximum of five) in more severe cases if I feel a feature is being burned. Strikes will also be handed out if a player attacks any of the shows and/or the voters in the game. Come on, let's act like adults.

14. Here's where I throw in the LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This game is nothing but a parody. No intent is made to malign, demean, or insult anyone in the game show industry, past or present.

And with that being said, let's play. Dog Eat Dog? Yeah, not underrated.

Hey. It's an UPDATE. Guess what? My power got knocked out for a brief moment. If it was a branch on wires, the branches were puny and weak, because the winds are not that strong.

All 26 shows are here, with an empty board after the first update. And you can vote again.
