This season’s Immunity Idol. Worth playing for?
In our last contest the grand prize winner was offered (and declined) an action figure of Dr. Julius M. Hibbert from The Simpsons.
This time we’re upping the stakes a bit. The winner of Abyss Island: Survivor Challenge will receive One Million Dollars*.
In this exclusive contest 20 ordinary Americans will be selected by me, your Probst of Ceremonies, to participate in a unique online experiment.
They’ll be separated into two “tribes” where they’ll be forced to adapt to the environment and develop their own society. They will fight each other, friend each other, and follow each other before having to unfight, unfriend, and unfollow.
And we get to watch every delicious minute of it.
Eventually it will all come down to the person who has been unfriended the least. That person will earn the title of Soul Abyssian Lesser of Evils But Not Actually A Winner Selected Only By A Stupid Process Of Attrition And Not Necessarily The Best Or The Person Who Should Have Won Champion.
You want that title? You’re not going to be able to just phone it in. You’re going to have to want it. You’re going to have to earn it.
Contestants will participate in a series of challenges designed to make them look foolish, amuse us and increase their anger and irritation with each other.
Episodes of Abyss Island will begin with a “Quick-Fire Flier” ™ challenge. This involves being strapped into a flaming trebuchet. The first to let go will literally be ejected from the island. They’ll also have to pack their knives and go.

This is my official application to play the game. Ever since an unfortunate incident of temporary Tourette’s syndrome on Facebook I have dreamed of being “the person who has been unfriended the least”.
Thank you.
We have a strict selection process where we weed out the riff raff until only the highest caliber of contestants remain. Tourette’s moves you directly to the front of the line. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200,
You’re in!
Can I drink while participating? As in vodka martinis? Yes? Then I’m in, buster!
Forge my signature on the sign-up sheet and let’s get this “show” boat launched.
On this contest, drinking is not a reward. It’s a requirement. Thanks for signing up!
