Remember Battle of the YouTube Stars/Non-Stars by DiGiTiLsOuL & JenLuv37 ?? Someone has brought it back! Check out Users SubscriberSURVIVOR.

I want to talk about Subscriber Survivor in a moment. But just in case anyone isn’t aware JenLuv37′s Battle Of The YouTube Non-Stars is now in it’s third season, hosted by SamProof. (Though it does seem to be on hiatus at the moment due to his involvement in the Ford Fiesta Movement.) You can listen to the interview I did with SamProof about Non-Stars on The JOJCAST.

Subscriber Survivor is actually a lot fun. It models that YouTube Stars/Non-Stars format that many of us will be familiar with, and the three hosts’ antics are as entertaining as the antics of the contestants. Contestants are subjected to ‘Immunity Challenges’ and one contestant is automatically passed through to the next round (this is judged by the hosts themselves).

There is a part of me that wonders how long this competition will last though. It suffers from some (shall we say) ‘intellectual property issues.’ The first episode features a lot of Los Del Rio’s version of the Macarena and I guess the contestants – some of who are YouTube Partners – might be grateful that the copyrighted music appears on this separate channel and not their own.

One final caveat… If you want to actually affect the outcome of this competition you are required to subscribe to every contestant in the competition. There’s something rather odd about voting someone out of a competition that you just subscribed to.
