Thanks to everyone who voted in Round Twenty Five


If you haven't played a Survivor game before and would like to join in it's all very easy. All you need to do is cast your eye down the episodes listed below and decide which three of them you like the least.
Once you've sorted that out simply post your three choices on this thread or send them to me via Private Message, then sit back and wait for the results to be announced. It's as simple as that!
You can also send your choices to the succeeding rounds by typing ”auto”. Just remember that if one or more of your episodes is evicted then you’ll need to replace them to make them up to the required amount of three episodes.
Two episodes will be evicted at the end of each round. In the event of a tie, cumulative votes throughout the game will be taken into account.


For the second consecutive round Season Two lost another episode as Doomsday was nominated by 29.63% of you. Further down the episode list votes from 25.92% of you were enough to kill off the last surviving episode from the Specials Group ~ The Christmas Invasion

Nobody predicted Doomsday or The Christmas Invasion For a Top Ten placing but there is a bit of a change on the leaderboard this time around as I realised I neglected to update this section when A Christmas Carol was evicted……

Prediction Game Two (Predict the Top Three episodes from Seasons 4 and 5 plus the Top Three from any of the first three Seasons)


There’s no change on the leaderboard this time as The Christmas Invasion was part of the Specials group and therefore wasn’t included in the game. Doomsday had already made the Top Three episodes in Season Two so nobody loses any points with its eviction.

The Play Your Cards Right Bit


Back in Round Seven Chfez asked you all to think about The Christmas Invasion whilst in the very next round clever chick picked Doomsday for you to ponder. Both, like so many other episodes have fallen down the chart so let’s see how that alters things after eleven results…..

+++ The deadline for your votes is 8pm on Tuesday 19 April +++

Nice to see The Satan Pit end up top series 2 episode, i think The Impossible Planet is the better half of the story, but it is for me undoubtedly the best story of series 2...

Old votes:
Forest of the Dead
Silence in the Library

New votes:
The Lodger - excellent first thirty five minutes, rather a rushed and slightly disappointing plot resolution. I'm now at the point of voting for episodes i rate 7/10 or above though.

davrosdodebird you queried your PYCR score in the last round so apologies for the late reply.

I've checked all the threads and after 11 rounds your results are accurate.

You said "lower" in the following rounds, all of which were correct:-

Round Four ~ The Unicorn And The Wasp
Round Six ~ The Christmas Invasion
Round Seven ~ Doomsday
Round Ten ~ The End Of Time {I}
Round Nineteen ~ Father's Day
Round Twenty One ~ Dalek

Score: 6


You said "higher" for the following episodes, all of which fell so you scored nothing for them:-

Round Two ~ Boom Town
Round Five ~ Age Of Steel
Round Eight ~ The Shakespeare Code
Round Seventeen ~ The End Of Time {II}
Round Eighteen ~ The Waters Of Mars


Hope that answers your question.

Going to vote now so I don't forget again.

05) The Satan Pit
11) Silence In The Library
12) Forest Of The Dead

No idea about River Song - Captain Jack in drag!

can i second this motion....

22) The Lodger
13) Midnight
10) The Sound Of Drums

River is The Doctors daughters friend? (I have no idea lol)

auto for me

Leftovers:
The Sound Of Drums
The Satan Pit

New:
Bad Wolf

River Song - I think the "killed the best man I have ever known" thing is a bit of a red herring. It just seems far too obvious that it is the doctor. After that I can't even begin to guess who she could be... Whoever she is I will enjoy finding out, even if she is The Rani!

Can't remember what eps I went for in the prediciton games now (cleared out my pms too). Still not lost any choices yet though.

Auto for me please

I honestly have no idea what River's secret could be. Knowing SM I doubt any of us would be able to guess therefore I really don't think she is going to be his wife. Other than that, no idea

You jest BG

I'll just assume you're too preoccupied with securing the Key To Time to remember that you've been voting for Doomsday since Round 11

even longer than me!

Agree on both counts.

My choices remain the same;

Bad Wolf
Utopia
The Lodger

River's secret is that she was a bully in Grange Hill

The Satan Pit
The Empty Child
Midnight

The Sound Of Drums
The Satan Pit
Journey's End

oops! I was locked into a time loop of my own making!

to clarify my choices are for this round

Sound of Drums
Stolen Earth
Journeys End.

20) Amy’s Choice
21) Vincent And The Doctor
22) The Lodger

Auto for me again please.

And I have no idea what River's big reveal will be.

03) Bad Wolf
04) The Parting Of The Ways
22) The Lodger

As for River Song's big secret this is a complete stab in the dark but maybe she's another incarnation of Romana

Silence In The Library
Forest Of The Dead
Bad Wolf

As for River I have no idea whatsoever. Hoping it won't be a huge anticlimax though.

Same again...

Midnight
Journey's End
The Eleventh Hour

Leftovers:

The Satan Pit
Bad Wolf

+

Journey's End

Auto

Amy’s Choice
The Lodger
The Satan Pit

And Replacement
The Sound Of Drums

Auto:
The Sound of Drums

New:
Parting of the Ways
The Lodger

And thank you for the painstakingly researched reply RK, I will not make so much work for you ever ever again

Right then. One change for me then.

My episodes are

Journey's End
The Empty Child

along with
The Doctor Dances.

As for River Song, I've thought all sorts of different things with regards to her and her secret and who she's going to kill etc. Along with everyone I was of the mind that it couldn't be so simple as being his wife. Then I've recently started thinking that maybe it is that maybe thats why she will be lol (like Amy in ToA/FaS) Truth be told I really have no idea but with regards to the person she 'kills', I have a sneaky feeling that itll end up being Rory or something.

Can't remember my votes so:

Sound of Drums
Bad Wolf
Journey's End

No idea about River but with so much speculation I feel it's bound to be a bit disappointing rather than "Aha! We should have known, how clever!"
