Step into the inner workings of "Will You Survive the Podcast" as we take a break from our usual movie survival analysis to establish our official podcast constitution. Like Washington, Madison, and the other founding fathers before us, we're creating a framework of bylaws that will govern our survival discussions and competitions moving forward.

Our newly ratified constitution introduces the Grand Survival Ranking System, creating season-long consequences for our weekly competitions. The winner of each episode earns three season points and the honor of hosting the next episode, while second place gets one consolation point. But beware—hosts wield significant power, including the ability to deduct points for "especially terrible survival decisions" (The Darwin Award Deduction) or "exceptionally unruly behavior."

We've built in protection against tyranny with the Survival Dictator Clause, which allows co-hosts to veto a host's power if they make a survival claim so absurd it can't be tolerated. And for those falling hopelessly behind, there's the dramatic Scorched Earth Protocol—allowing desperate contestants to declare "If I can't survive, no one can!" and attempt a last-ditch effort to overturn rulings or challenge others to survival duels.

The stakes are real: the season winner gets to choose the movie for our first episode of the next season, while the ultimate loser must bear the title "First to Die" throughout the following season. It's democracy and entertainment wrapped in one ridiculous package—just how we like it.
