They never learn you need to lay low at least until the merge. EVERY SEASON. Come out swinging either in challenges or socially and you're done early. |
What do you think of the advantage that was found in tree mail? |
I just want the producers to scale back on how much they're working to create false narrative and blindsides every single episode. They throw together such a random edit, heavy on red herrings and nonsense, that you never really have a feel for who is allied and what their personalities are like. No live feeds, so you don't get the real story, as you can on Big Brother. Survivor used to allow us to see alliances and make more sense of people, even if it meant there were obvious Pagonging episodes. |
I think it's crazy that he didn't immediately realize it's not an advantage. Crazier still that he wanted to tell Taylor about it. |
Wow, tribal was fun tonight! |
Zeke. I think he is smart and could go very far. |
Is it just me, or is the cast very boring this time? |
So, Jessica gets voted out via rocks (that hasn't happened in years), and has to give the legacy advantage to someone, so she gives it to Ken.
|
challenges are far less interesting. Balance ? Come on! Where's wrestling? |
The biggest shocker was that Brett was gay. My gaydar way way off! |
How can you forget the water challenge where one girl took her top off to escape a hold? |
The Ponderosa videos are so lame now. I liked them back when they showed more of the fun stuff- "The Dragons" from Coach and Courtney days. They seemed a little too overproduced now. |
Is it just me, or would the show be more interesting if whispering wasn't aloud at tribal? I think the only reason Hannah got saved last night is because of her hunch. |
+1 You missed key aspects of Sandra's game play in the two seasons she won. The first year that Sandra won was Season 7, Pearl Islands. This was old school Survivor, in which juries still awarded "nice people" over people who made big moves. In fact, the strategy of the "big move" or the mean game play was unknown in Survivor in Season 7. Sandra won because she was up against Lil in final 2 and Lil had alienated everyone on the jury whereas Sandra had alienated no one. In Season 7, alienating people -- mean game play -- was not rewarded. The second season that Sandra one, Heroes v. Villains, was totally different. The rules had entirely changed. Big moves and blindsides were the rules of the game. Sandra was part of a group that made both. She also managed to stay alive to the end when the only other choice was Russell -- who had zero jury management skills. Russell had strategy, but no jury management. Sandra had jury management, which is key in survivor. To say that Sandra did nothing? OMG. |
Bring on finale night!!!! |
