That was a pretty solid merge tribal. Love locky's, "I'm not gonna vote for people playing it safe, I want to see big blindsides" speech before he gets blindsided. Also David openly playing the middle game... but having the complete trust of both sides that he's with them is pretty top tier poo poo.

And he's sitting in an alliance with a bunch of do-nothings like Mo-umbles, Jacqui, and Tarzan, plus he's holding two idols. The way he crushed Phoebe when she was relying on him so heavily felt cruel, and seeing Nick go when they could have cancelled that Tribal hurt, but it sure did set David up well.

Phoebe voted against his plan in the previous vote and then was like, "Yea he's totally my #1 ally, I can trust him 100%." Like, no you probably can't lady cause you proved to him that he can't trust your rear end. That's just dumb game play. Honestly though, I don't mind the pop culture references, dude is out there just having fun.

I loved the first couple refs, like "Gold Jerry, gold!" and I loved when he found the idol and did the maniacal "I can feel the POWERRRRR" but now it's begun to wear on me with a new one in almost every single confessional. Guy is still an all-time character whatever one thinks, and he's proving he's a great player to boot, but it just is feeling a bit like he's putting on too much of a deliberate show and over-acting sometimes now, that's all. Like, what he did to Phoebe, I'm not criticizing the game sense but wearing her idol during the tribal he voted her out was probably a bad move done just to rub her nose in it, presumably for the sake of being an epic villain on TV -- which he is, I just think he's leaning into it a little hard.

Yea, I guess that's fair and I can understand why someone would tire of that part of his character  . But it's also probably hard for David too considering he was effectively doing back to back seasons (although with a bigger gap than US Survivors that have done it). Also in other random news, looks like Locke is going to be The Bachelor on Australians version of that dumb show... And I guess Brooke was a bit surprised by it. https://celebrity.nine.com.au/tv/th...64-2af3a4346146 Almost feel like actually trying to watch that dumb poo poo because Locke is pretty fun on Survivor at least...

David is a good player, but I think AUS is over, over exposing him. It's like Rick Devens and if they just gave him 50% of the screentime he'd be fine.

Also it apparently wouldn't have delayed merge, but production wouldn't tell Harry whether or not it did, so he had no idea how dangerous it would be to give it away.

Well, if it wasn't the swap that sent this season to poo poo, and it wasn't the merge that sent this season to poo poo, Lee leaving has certainly sent this season to poo poo. This is going to be a DIRE couple of weeks. A super boring power alliance with a bunch of terrible players that won't make any moves, and the need to now do TWO MORE non-elimination episodes. This is going to be painful. The fake manufactured drama for next episode is going to be which 3 go to Edge, there will now be SIX people there with FIVE of them coming back. How low stakes is that? Then the next few episodes we'll be watching whoever is left out of Shonnee, AK, Brooke get voted out all over again. I think they will still need to do another non-elimination as well.

I get it, it sucks. But I think they likely are making the best of the situation. They were already too far ahead with eliminations with Harry not using his advantage, and then with Lee having to leave the game, they likely wanted to do something to get the game back on schedule. I think it's a fine twist though and is a good way to potentially form cracks in the major alliance. Also they could be looking at a 5-3 split after the exile challenge, or even a 6-2 split would give room for someone looking to make a move. The non elimination twists are just part of Australian Survivor, you know they are going to happen, just a matter of how and when. And with doing 2 non eliminations this week, there shouldn't need to be another one.

I could be wrong, but I think they needed to do one more non-elim episode once Harry played his advantage. The fact that Harry didn't play it in the end and Lee leaving, means that that they are still one episode short. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Pretty sure Jonathan said it was gonna be a series of challenges.

They should be on track to not need any non elims assuming they are following the last 2 seasons and doing 24 episodes. After tomorrow night, there will be 6 episodes and 8 players left. Also all the players that are left, they are all likable and I would be fine with any of the 9 winning.

Fast Luck posted:I guess the idea is this could reveal the majority alliance pecking order and shake things up? David's position seems to have completely tanked here. He needs to focus on making nice and knocking out Shonee and AK, but (rightfully) feels betrayed by Jackie and may be inclined to go after her instead. The fact that Sharn and Mo both knew about that move and let it happen tells me going after Jackie might not work.

Well Mo and Sharn are going to have to choose. The reason they are pretending they weren't in on it was so they could still work with David, so they'll have to choose whether they'll work with Dave to get Jacqui or work with Jacqui (to presumabley get Dave). Although, what the gently caress was Mo doing last night? Apparently she told Dave to play the idol on Zac, presumably to flush the idol, but how does she expect to play dumb when she's now given away that she was in on the plan? And despite that plan not working she's still throwing winks at the Jury and taking credit for the move? She's so frustrating.

Or is it an act of genius? Thinking about flipping but not 100% if you want too. Tell Dave there is a plan to take out Zak and he should play the idol. Dave doesn't play the idol, Zak goes home and now Dave will trust Mo 100% and his sidekick just got voted out. Puts Mo in a pretty good spot if she's looking to stick with Dave. And really, the vote puts the game in a 3v3 with Jacqui and maybe Sharn sitting in the middle. And really the only player that's left that probably doesn't have much of an argument to win the game is Tarzan, and even he could try to play the social / loyal card, but doubt that would fly very far since nobody seems bitter about getting blindsided thus far.

The Fuzzy Hulk posted:"David, smashing nut after nut really having trouble." Yea, without a doubt. Jonathan knows what he's doing. He dropped all sorts of ball related puns in the previous season in a challenge. Also looks like their next season has been officially postponed due to coronavirus. Which I guess follows US Survivor delaying 41. https://mumbrella.com.au/production-postponed-on-survivor-australia-due-to-coronavirus-travel-restrictions-622051 Although that has got me curious as it seems US Survivor 41 was set to film on March 24th or so and Australian Survivor looking to start filming their next season in April. Both in Fuji. I wonder how close in proximity the 2 productions would be going on? Like are the crews on totally different islands or are they sharing resorts and working together? If you want to see some of Jonathan's ball puns, this challenge in this episode is great...

Also seems crazy to think that Dave or Mo would take each other to the final 2. So pretty safe to say that Sharn is going to manage to play 2 seasons of Australian Survivor and finish #2 in both. Sharn seems like the perfect goat as she lied multiple times to the other side about possibly flipping but then not doing so, gotta create a bitter jury and also a jury that doesn't like that she didn't make any moves on her own.

Yeah, Sharn, who sat in the swing position all game long without ever once actually taking a swing, is going to be the object of a lot of juror frustrations, while also not being as beloved by the majority alliance members because she was always a bit fickle. A totally impressive failure there. I can probably forgive her promising to flip and then not following through to avoid that rock draw, but telling Tarzan to vote Mo while not voting Mo herself was just total panicked cowardice. And then her confessionals where she says she'd bring David to the end if she wins... what the hell?

Sharn has been making the completely unsupported, and often rebuked, argument that juries respect someone for taking the dominant player to the end. It's something.

That was a pretty good final episode and the jury questions were actually enjoyable to listen to and was a fun final tribal, which seems to be pretty rare these days in US Survivor. Also interesting seeing how a production of Survivor handled the reunion in the midst of the coronavirus.

Moana and Sharn are close RL friends. That was really no surprise. I did find it nice that Harry stuck up for her, though. Must've been tough getting (although rightfully) slammed in front of nine jurors with no let up.

Well that was a season. Started off so well, then had a bit of a dip for me, but Dave winning truly was incredible. Harry not giving Nick that advantage has to one of the biggest Survivor what if moments though and I’m surprised the reunion didn’t touch on it.

Sharn lying when they were at rocks was an interesting move. I don't actually know if she was lying or just making a promise with no idea whether she'd end up fulfilling it or not. Of course it pissed off a bunch of jurors, and she even brought that up in her argument ("Of course I'll do it, I don't want to lose your votes"), so overall it out and out sucked, but it was kind of badass wasn't it? Although her trying to get Tarzan to vote Mo for her was just panicked and pathetic. Easy and deserving win for Dave. Getting rid of Jacqui while Brooke hung around winning immunities really worked perfectly to get him to F3. Seeing as Brooke got as far as she did, I would say the one big gripe I have with the editors is not playing more to that Brooke vs. Flick rivalry. They could have done so much with that, and Brooke was F4! It's weird they gave AK a shot to make fire and stay in the game? That would have added an episode, right? Would they have done a F3 if he made that fire?

What made Dave's win so incredible is that he did it despite being a big target.. Which Dave could of easily used to flip Sharn's whole pitch about working from behind the scenes on its head.
