Hatch is sorta like Team Guido in Amazing Race -- defined the game and should never be discounted for doing so, but hopelessly outclassed when brought back to compete against a field full of people who had taken their revolutionary play as a starting point, competed against other people who were doing the same thing, and improved on it.

I don't think he's outclassed, he's just one of those people who says so much in confessionals that there's no way he's ever reducing his threat level in this game again.

Lindsey's quit might be the most pathetic quit out of all the quits. I already thought she was being way more horrible than Trish.

e: I take that back, Trish sucks just as bad

I doubt she would be top three or maybe even five, Osten, both Nicaragua quits, Johnny Fairplay and both Colton quits were worse

Take me to your Shida

Is there a site that streams survivor live? I've been watching on thursdays because I ditched cable (and am too lazy to buy a converter/antenna) but between my friends and the survivor game in the game room there's basically no way I can avoid spoilers until after work tomorrow, I think.

I'm not going to be able to watch live tonight because the Blackhawks hockey game is way more important. But I'll be recording it and watching it right after the game ends. At least I'll get to skip the commercials and any extra crap like the hero walk.

Fairplay's quit is always weird to me. On one hand it's lovely that only a few days into season he bailed and took up that spot. On the other hand at least his quit was having everyone vote him out at tribal council instead of quitting in addition to tribal council and forcing his tribe to lose an extra person like often will end up happening.

Fairplay was saying he needed to get back to his pregnant girlfriend but now he says that was really a lie, she was pregnant and all, but the truth was he was still hosed up from the Bonaducci thing and needed painkillers and stuff. Like, he'd already been set to go on Survivor and was signed on for the season, so he went out there anyway, but it wasn't working and then he used the girlfriend thing to make a more dignified exit on his way out, heh. But yeah, at least he went out in a tribal council.

Fairplay at least went to Tribal, Osten and the Nicaragua quits were at least based on not being able to hack the environment. This was just quitting coz you don't like someone and they beat you.

I'll give you the second Colton quit though.

It takes an odd set of guts to recognize that you don't feel mentally in control of your situation. Hate All Quitters, but I don't think Lindsay is nearly the worst of the worst.

Saying it was worse than NaOnka or Purple Kelly is just plain incorrect.

Yeah I totally buy Lindsey's defense of worrying that she'd do something she'd regret if she stayed, I'd much rather someone recognize they're about to go Brandon Hantz and voluntarily remove themselves than go Brandon Hantz and be forcibly removed

Although Colton quitting the second time did probably help Caleb, so if that was his goal it worked.

Voting Garrett out was not a terrible move, really. Like, it would have been emotionally satisfying to ice J'Tia right then, but Kass and Tasha saw a strong alliance between Spencer and Garrett, needed to break it, and knew of the two that Garrett was the one least likely to help them in challenges, or maintain loyalty. Garrett and J'Tia were pretty much equally horrible, but Kass and Tasha made the calculation that, should they make the merge, J'Tia would be a more reliable vote. They still wouldn't have made that move if Garrett hadn't been so loving stupid the whole day after the immunity challenge. And also if he'd bothered to try allying with either Tasha or Kass, which he seems not to have done at all.
Both Garrett and J'Tia richly deserve to be on a "worst survivor players ever" list.

I don't think I hated J'Tia as much as everybody else. Dumping rice was bad, and she was horrible in challenges, but her confessionals were very lucid (not like, say, Na'Onka being a ho). She wasn't a good player, but she was fun to watch and I kind of wonder if Kass wouldn't have flipped with her around, since Spencer was making her I-don't-trust-my-alliance moves post-merge with Jeremiah and...Sarah?

I guess that was an alright article but

quote:

“Survivor” seems to be one of the few shows where viewers can call themselves “reality television purists” without much irony. It has evolved into a more complex and challenging game, but its principles have remained the same: Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. Where other reality shows might need sudden twists and curveballs, “Survivor” only really needs its own basic structure, and because the people who play will always be different, the game will always be different. No tricks, no gimmicks – just pure gameplay, which means that absolutely anything can happen.

Saying Survivor doesn't have crazy twists? :laffo:
