Kind of a lame season, I think. Spencer feels like a watered-down Stephen The Wizzard, and Tony is kind of a direct-to-dvd Russell. Save us, Special Agent.

Just listened to the exit interview with Trish on RHAP, it was more fun than is expected. She HATES Kass, like even more than they showed on the season. She had nice things to say about Lindsay and talked about how she'd much rather be around Lindsay than spend another second near Kass. It sounds like Kass is getting a pretty kind edit and is actually even more unbearable than what we've seen.

Rooting for Kass to somehow pull out the win 20% because it would be funny, 10% because I want a Brain to win and don't like Spencer, 10% because I actually think she's played an okay game for a first-timer, and 60% for the ensuing goon meltdown. I don't know how likely it is, but anyone saying she has literally no chance of winning is nuts. One hypothetical scenario: a final 2 of Woo and Kass. LJ and Jefra are bitter that Woo turned on them and vote Kass. Tony reluctantly votes for Kass because he considers the only good move in Survivor to be voting him out, and Kass is directly responsible. Spencer gives an impassioned speech about how he hates both of them, yet Kass "made big moves" and Woo did not. His speech persuades Tasha. Bam, 5 out of 9 votes. Is it likely? No, but certainly possible.

I only want Kass to win after causing a Tony outburst in the finals. It would be the right ending to the story. Tony lost because he's undisciplined and Kass is convinced she is a mastermind.

Even very early on it was clear this was the case, but people were in here all "hey everyone look at all this discussion between two players who haven't even met in the game yet" I wonder how far they get

Survivor Sucks seems firmly convinced that based on editing patterns it's a Kass/Woo F2, while Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach said Spencer has a "99% chance of winning" (similarly going off the edit).

Just listening to Trish's exit interview on RHAP now though and I think it's the most revealing one so far. She keeps saying Tony voted her out because he thought she was a threat and would beat him, and he voted along making it 4-1 instead of staying with her making it 3-2, because he knew she'd respect him more if he stood by "his move" of voting her out and didn't try to fake not being involved. Which all sounds to me like she bought the typical load of horseshit that people at final tribal try to sell to the jury. "I voted you out because I was afraid of you, and respected you so much."

So, let's compile a list of things that you apparently HAVE to know how to do before going on Survivor. As of right now, all I have is "Make a Fire", "Swim", and "Do Sliding Puzzles".

Why in the world would Spencer or Tony win immunity at 3 and pick the other one to go to the final 2 with them? That's like the least likely final 2. If the final 3 includes both Spencer and Tony and one of them wins final immunity, they're taking Woo/Kass.

Fast Luck posted:I agree with your general point, but Trish hating Kass isn't the most revealing tidbit heh. I think that's probably true though. His vote for Trish was nothing more than extra insurance that Kass stays and likely goes to FTC with him - assuming he makes it that far in the next couple of rounds. Spencer had immunity, so no votes go for him. He correctly read that the others were voting Trish and not Woo. If Tony gives Trish the HII, Kass goes home, regardless of where he votes.

I doubt it's a final 2 season (I think they decide this on the fly based on how interesting either one would be, in this case a final 2 is boring). Kass is dumb enough to take Spencer and Tony since she somehow doesn't get that she's the goat, and the other two could very easily think Woo's hands are too clean with jury votes in mind.

I'm going to have to agree with Ghostpilot that a Spencer/Tony F2 is basically impossible. Tony mega-hates Kass already and just voted off his strongest ally because he so desperately wants to take Kass to the end. Tony's plan is 100% taking Kass to the very end.

Fast Luck posted:If, as you say, he correctly read the others were voting Trish, then voting off Trish wasn't his move. Wouldn't he have rather voted off Woo than Trish? I don't think so. Woo has largely been invisible. He hasn't rocked challenges, he's made no real connection with anyone, and he's not been the architect of any 'big moves'. He really doesn't have much of a Survivor resume. He's just kinda...there. While Trish hasn't been a challenge star OR made any big moves (that I can think of), she's at least made some social connections with the people that have been voted off. That said, the reception of Trish at Ponderosa was a bit weird. So, who knows. The only threat Woo brings to the table is some sort of balance/endurance challenge. That is a risk for Tony as it seems like Woo and Spencer kind of cancel each other out in that regards - but Tony should be rooting for Woo to beat Spencer (assuming Tony doesn't win immunity). So Tony is going to play it out and keep Kass on his side to vote out whoever doesn't win the next immunity challenge (assuming Woo or Spencer is the winner). I think the next immunity challenge is going to determine the winner of the game. The wildcard is Woo winning immunity + teaming up with Kass = voting out Tony. Maybe Woo and Kass vote Tony, Tony and Spencer vote Kass, and they (Tony and Kass) end up drawing rocks.

Does it really spoil that much that it's a final 2 as opposed to a final 3? The only thing that would ruin it is if you know who the FTC people are.

Some people don't want next episode previews, or commercials or whatever. I despise any sort of foreknowledge about what will happen in shows/movies etc, and many people are the same. So regardless of how much of a spoiler someone thinks something is, if it's something that can't be figured out from watching nothing but the episodes themselves, it should be spoiled. In this particular instance, if you hadn't been spoiled that it was a final 2, it would be a massive surprise. One that is now ruined for anyone who reads this thread.

CapnAndy posted:That's a pretty comprehensive list really. Gratitude for providing never really helps. All it really gets you is avoiding the "well this guy doesn't do poo poo at all!" point people use when trying to get someone voted off, which is never actually their only point or even something they really care about much. However, being able to build a good shelter is still a valuable skill because then you don't have to live in a lovely shelter for the first half of the game. The first few tribal immunity and reward challenges can have a pretty big domino effect. If your team is nicely sheltered and fed while the other team is cold, tired, and hungry, the odds of those first few challenges tilt in your favour a decent amount. Then you win the rewards and have an advantage in challenges (because you can sit out your weakest members) and you will have numbers on your side post-swap/post-merge which can be pretty big. Of course many tribes still implode even with numbers advantages so it's just one of many factors in the game.

I was kind of surprised a few pages back to see everyone thinking that the jury would just be so in love with Tony and think his animal noises were wacky and hilarious while frowning at Kass for being so mean and rude to Trish. Clearly Kass isn't the most popular person in camp, but Tony has directly lied to and betrayed EVERY single person in his original alliance and quite frankly didn't have a great reason for a lot of them. There may be a generalized dislike of Kass among most of the jurors, but there's probably a lot of targeted animosity towards Tony and Trish right now.

I've been watching Survivor Micronesia (Fans vs favorites). At some point Ozzy makes a dumb decision on not playing the immunity idol, and I thought that was the comment from the OP on "including the manipulation of someone to make one of the stupidest plays in Survivor history". As not playing the immunity idol at that point was really dumb by ozzy. The actual "stupidest play" was a hilarious surprise after that. I'm still somewhere between "ah that was painful to watch" and laughing about it. HEY LETS DO A PLAY THAT IN NO WAY REQUIRES YOU TO GIVE AWAY YOUR IMMUNITY IDOL. HOWEVER YOU STILL NEED TO GIVE AWAY YOU IMMUNITY IDOL FOR *REASONS*. - Yeah ok that sounds like a plan *gets voted off*
