Totem Pole Full Logic Update
Brant 
With episode 3 of The Totem Pole being released on YouTube, full logic has been added to the Totem Pole Simulator, including relationship and strategic ability. These two attributes, along with challenge skills and loyalty, will impact all of the decision making throughout the simulator. If you see any bugs caused by the logic or don’t feel like it is properly balanced, please report it in comments.
A page for other statistics has also been added.
Watch episode 1 here.
Watch episode 2 here.
Watch episode 3 here.
Watch episode 4 here.
Watch episode 5 here.
Stay tuned for an additional update with Episode 4 next Friday at 9:00 PM eastern time. A Survivor simulator update will be posted over the weekend.
Update: With episode 4 now out, a voting chart has been added to the Totem Pole Simulator. This is the most complex voting chart yet with revotes and returning players included.
Update 2: Episode 5 brings an update to the simulator to more accurately reflect the show with Save Limits, Power Limits, and the elimination of duplicate twists per season.
Circle Simulator is now a Template
An option to adjust the size of the cast from anywhere between 2 and 50 players has been added to the Circle Simulator. The Relationships and Sympathy attributes have been combined under Sympathy. All existing simulations can still be loaded.
This functionality had been coded in from the beginning. It just needed activated, and now serves as a good time to test a template with the Big Brother Advanced Template coming to BrantSteele.com (with saving and voting charts) and a Survivor Template coming in the near future. The Survivor template’s eventual goal is to contain customization options that should be able to produce seasons 33 – 37 and eventually all of the seasons. These 5 seasons will be loaded from the template with pre-configured settings for each season.
Survivor Edge of Excinction Cast Added
Cast photos for the new castaways revealed today for Survivor: Edge of Extinction have been added to all of the simulators.
If multiple versions are released, the alternate cast photos will be added as well.
Additionally, a cast page was added to see them all together. Please report any issues in the comments or the Contact Form. Thank you.
The next step in finalizing the Survivor simulator seasons 33-37 will be releasing a custom Survivor template that can be configured to match the twists of the seasons, along with other seasons. More details will be shared this weekend.
The Totem Pole Simulator Released
The Totem Pole Simulator has been released on BrantSteele.com. You can simulate the season here.
This is based on a new YouTube reality show by @wesleydbryant. The premise of the show is the following: 13 players compete to avoid the bottom of #TheTotemPole and try to survive the vote until only 1 player remains. You can watch the first episode here to learn more about the format. You can also follow the series on Twitter at @TotemPoleGame
The full cast and logo are also now available to use throughout all of the other simulators. The Totem Pole Simulator is currently a simple simulator in terms of logic, but it contains different twists to create a variety of scenarios simulating. If no major bugs are reported, saving will be added in 48 hours. Please provide your feedback on this simulator and report any bugs in the comments.
1/27 Update: Saving has been added.
2/1 Update: Episode 2 is out here! With this update comes challenge logic to the simulator and the new profiles page. Stay tuned for an additional update with Episode 3 next Friday at 9:00 PM eastern time.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 Cast Photos Added
The fifteen contestants in RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 have been added to all of the simulators. This season will premiere following the completion of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 4 on VH1.
Please report any issues. Thank you!
Cast Photo Organizational Change
Due to user request, I added an attribute to distinguish official cast photos from unofficial ones.
Each show will have just one set of “official” cast photos per season – which typically consists of the officially released photos of the characters/contestants active on that season. For example, the cast photos for the 32 finalists for Survivor Cambodia – Second Chance are now considered unofficial along with Mellisa McNulty from Survivor Fiji. Most recent Big Brother, Survivor, and The Amazing Race seasons have multiple sets of cast photos, but just one set will be considered official.
An attribute has also been added for ‘host’ images, which are also considered unofficial. There are only 2 host images currently included.
On BrantSteele.net, unofficial cast photos and host photos will no longer show up in Random Mode. On the BrantSteele.com simulators, you will have the option to use these or exclude these in your Random Cast.
If any cast photos are currently added that you consider Unofficial, please report them for review. Thank you. I believe a few contestants were added to various shows who didn’t actually compete in the seasons.
The Challenge 33 Cast Photos Added
Cast photos have been added for the 33rd season of MTV’s The Challenge: War of the Worlds, featuring 34 contestants from a variety of reality television shows. This season is set to premiere on February 6th, with a launch special airing January 30th.
In addition, a new set of cast photos was released for Celebrity Big Brother US 2. You can view the full cast here.
Today, more special characters (as in letters) were added to the BrantSteele.net simulators for season names, tribe names, and player names and nicknames. If there are any characters you’re trying to use that aren’t supported yet, let me know, and they will be added to all of the simulators.
Please report any issues you see.
Big Brother Brasil 19 Cast Photos Added
Cast photos for the seventeen housemates in Big Brother Brasil season 19 have been added. This season just began airing.
Please report any issues. Thank you.
In addition, bugs with Big Brother seasons 1 and season 3 where personalized casts couldn’t be edited after loading a saved season were fixed.
Celebrity Big Brother US 2 Cast Photos Added
Cast photos have been added for the 2nd US season of Celebrity Big Brother, featuring 12 celebrity houseguests. This season is set to premiere on January 21st.
You can view the full cast here.
Please report any issues you see. If more official cast photos are released, they will be added as well.
Survivor 33-37 Updates, Part 1
A new display for past tribes has been added, along with the ability to change alliances and relationships weekly. These features are available on the five BrantSteele.com Survivor simulators.
The next Survivor update will contain logic improvements and more display changes, along with a new secret advantage system. This update may be broken into multiple parts.
The internal structure was changed behind all 5 of these seasons, so there’s a high likelihood for bugs, especially for Ghost Island and David vs. Goliath. Please list any you see, and I’ll list the ones that are fixed below. Thank you.
