How good are you at picking a winner? Do you feel like you have the intuition to predict which contestants on a reality show are going to shine and which ones are going to fade out early? The goal of "Fantasy Reality TV" is to give fans the opportunity to go head-to-head with other fans to see who can make the best predictions each week. It is meant to feel similar to Fantasy Football or other similar apps, but you get to prioritize your picks from the full cast and you also get to vote for how well you think contestants do each week. You receive points according to how high you rank each player and by how many votes that player receives. The later it gets in the season, the more points you will get for each vote, making the later rounds weighted heavier. You will get a community ranking each week and also a ranking for the full season. Disclosure: This is the first season for the app. If you find problems or have suggestions, please use the mail icon to send me feedback. More reality series and seasons will be added over time, but for the time being, Survivor Season 44 is the only one available.
