So a first round defense could gain/lose you points in the first round...right? Also, is it as soon as someone gets negative points they're out, or must we wait until the end of the round? For instance, if Shakira has 3 points and loses a normal attack to put her at -2, but she also wins a defense that round to put her at 1, is Shakira still alive? Or does she get eliminated as soon as she hits negative? Sorry if this was already explained! Thanks in advance! Regarding the first question, I believe so. For the second question, in your scenario, Shakira would still be alive. She would only be eliminated if she has a score of 0 or below at the end of the round. Okay. Thanks for helping out the enemy lol. Good luck to you and Ellie Goulding! Should be fun!

Should be fun! yes, a defense can lose points in the first round. this is the first season where people are vulnerable for elimination during Round 1. as for points, you start out with 20. if you need, the previous 2 seasons can help you familiarize with the format.

What exactly can we do in an alliance? Is it a no real rules kind of thing or is it we can only talk about x, y, and z?

Just a note to remind everyone at the very beginning of the game that just because surfy says we have 48 hours, does not mean that you need to let 48 hours pass before you submit.....

I had a feeling I'd be attacked a lot early on. Everyone going for the smaller lesser known artist first as an easy cop out. 🕵
"WHEN YOU GONNA TAKE ME OUT?!" Looks like now I guess lol.
Also 💀 at the two Disney musicians attacking each other at the start. And, ugh, with "Good for You" and "Same Old Love." Selena is mostly miss with me, but those two are some of my favorites from her and favorite songs of the decade.
Also that "When We Were Young"/"Truth Hurts" matchup is already killing me.

I adore COTH but including it makes matches 5, 8 and 11 near-impossible (at least it’s not against When We Were Young?)
