How it works
One person creates the pool and becomes the pool leader. They add the player names, set any entry fee and four prize amounts, and assign the season’s contestants. Only the leader needs an account to run the pool; everyone else can take part without signing in.
Paste your player names into the roster, one per line. You can manage their castaways and payment records from there. If someone later wants their own access, send an invitation, approve their request and connect their account to the player you already added. Their assignments and payment history stay with that player place.
In a pool with one player for every contestant, everyone can own a single castaway. Running a smaller pool? Players can own multiple contestants instead. Each contestant belongs to just one player within that pool.
Use a random draw or enter a draw you held together. Review it carefully: once assignments are confirmed, they’re locked in for the season.
Then you watch. And hope your contestant isn’t the one whose “perfect plan” gets explained immediately before Tribal Council.
More than contestant ownership
Coming soon: weekly predictions. Your castaways are only part of the story. Players who sign in will get a separate bragging-rights game to come back to each week—even after their last castaway is out.
The idea is simple: make your own picks, predict what happens next, and compare your record with the rest of the pool. Prediction points won’t change contestant ownership or the main pool’s prizes. You’ll still be able to manage players who choose not to sign in.
Still building this part of the clubhouse. Saved pools, invitations, permanent assignments and finance tracking are available in early access. Weekly predictions, episode results, standings and automatic prize awards are still being built. The separate preview uses sample data and resets when you reload.
Made for private pools
Blindside Club is designed around private groups of friends, family, coworkers and fellow fans. Your Survivor night doesn’t need a massive public fantasy league.
The pool leader manages the roster, contestant assignments and fee/prize settings without needing everyone to create an account. Invitations are for players who want their own access: an invitation lets someone request it, and the leader approves and matches them to the correct roster entry.
Free pools or your own stakes
Play for bragging rights or set a per-person entry fee. The leader chooses four dollar prizes, with no automatic split and no extra fee for owning more contestants.
Blindside Club records fee values, prize allocations and payments reported by the leader. Payments happen outside the platform. Blindside Club does not collect, hold, transfer or distribute pool funds, and does not process cards or bank payments.
Blindside Club provides organizational tools and is not a bookmaker. Leaders and participants are responsible for their own payment arrangements and for checking the rules that apply where they live. See the Terms of Use for more.
Built by a Survivor fan
Blindside Club grew out of wanting a better way to run a real Survivor pool: fewer spreadsheets, fewer lost group messages, and less time piecing together who owns which castaway.
The goal is to give assignments, predictions and scoring a proper home, so more of the evening can go toward confidently predicting something that absolutely will not happen.
