I almost didn't want to watch it because of that, but I was relieved when it didn't happen.

I wonder if the constantly shifting alliances is a side effect of the blood vs water gimmick. It just seems the alliances are much looser and more tactical one-offs than usual. I'm thinking there's just a lower drive for people to form new strong relationships because so many are still working with a real life partners with 100% trust. Maybe we'll see a take down of the perceived strongest person more consistently than previous seasons because there's simply less subconscious need for people to be loyal to groups.

It can't be her based on his other comments about it.

I'm pretty certain that Probst said two of the players were the dumbest. He didn't mention them by name, but Leif/Kat/Christina were the frontrunners.Binary Logic posted:Christina Cha?! Don't get me started LOL she's one of the 20 women in the running for Hottest Survivor Ever. No Colleen from Borneo either? Yeah, gently caress that.

It's easier to shift alliances because when you shift you have 2 votes (yours and your partner's) rather than 1 from a regular season. When many Councils are decided by a single vote it's a huge swing.

It was two people, and Probst said he would never let anyone that stupid near the game again...which was why a lot of us were really confused when Kat came back. My only theories are that Kat somehow was not the stupidest person ever cast, or she was one of the two and they really wanted her boyfriend on the show and they needed her to complete the original Blood vs. Water gimmick. EDIT: Real talk: It was likely Leif and Christina. There are several deleted scenes from that season that have contestants talking about how Christina didn't seem to be fully functioning when ever they tried talking to her, and Leif was completely out of it whenever he had a chance to speak.

It was clearly Leif and Christina. Kat had her weird ditzy sayings but she at least understood the game and thought she was in a good position before she was blindsided. Leif and Christina were both basically told to their faces that they had no chances and were getting voted out and did nothing about it.

There was a moment in the middle of One World where Sab accidentally told Christina that Christina's own alliance was splitting votes between her and Troyzan and if Troyzan played the idol she was going home. Sab immediately freaked out and realized if Christina retaliated in anyway, she'd be screwed. Instead, Christina was completely unphased and then voted for Chelsea for absolutely no reason (she was the only one who voted Chelsea by the way). Also at the Final 4 TC Probst said "Christina, it sounds like you're getting voted out" and Christina basically replied "Yup, I hope I don't though" and Probst asked what kind of deals she made and/or what her pitch was and she said she had no plan but was just REALLY hoping she wouldn't get voted out.

He came up with the idea to flip alliances and align with the people on his new swapped tribe in order to get rid of some of the men on his old tribe. Kim played him like a fool of course but he at least understood the concepts of alliance flipping and majoritities. Leif and Christina did not.

Man, that season was just full of jokers. Just remembered Matt and how smug he was about his 4 person minority alliance of bros. The remaining 5 were just like "uhhhhhh okay so we just like, vote them out now, yeah?"

Outside of Leif sleeping in the supply box, didn't the show go for 6-8 weeks without ever having a Leif confessional? He was such an empty space devoid of anything. A true physical and mental midget.

I marathoned One World recently, and I feel like that Christina-Probt interaction was even more embarrassing than that. Probst was straight up saying "It looks like Chelsea, Sabrina, and Kim are a tight group, what have you done to break that alliance apart?". And her response is basically "They're really good friends, so I didn't even bother". Like, she didn't even want a chance to plead her case to the jury. She was legitimately happy to be fourth. On Survivor. Apparently Alicia from that season is a special ed teacher and straight up compared Christina to a retarded person in a confessional. And I'm not sure she was off. Also, I'll be honest. I didn't know what a phlebotomist is and spent the first few episodes of One World thinking Leif was a scientist or something. I might be the Christina of watching Survivor.

bbf2 posted:Kat had her weird ditzy sayings but she at least understood the game and thought she was in a good position before she was blindsided. Just to really hammer home how dumb the two dumb people had to have been, and how dire One World was: Kat, who was characterized basically all season as "the dumb one," got targeted by Alicia — someone she had just made a final three deal with — for trying too hard at an immunity challenge, which eventually led to that blindside. Kat came in second in that challenge. Kim came in first, and was the third person in that F3 deal, and Alicia never went after her. And pretty much nobody believes that either Kat or Alicia is one of the two people Probst was talking about.

Yea that's why I dont get either and the only conclusion I can make also - that they figured it out amongst themselves that Reed went through the bag and voted for him out of desperation hoping someone from the other alliance did too. sportsgenius86 posted:I was surprised by this at first, too, but I'm guessing they were worried Keith would be voted out to flush out the idol, hoped maybe there would be a split vote for Reed in the event Keith played his idol and by voting Reed, they could save the idol. Yea that I bet Alec had nothing to do with the forming of this plan though. Mercaptopropyl posted:
Me too. Didnt see this one coming at all (especially after they showed Wes, Keith and Alec voting for Reed) and it was awesome. I hate Missy so much, but the honeymooners need to go too. Next logical step for Reed is to turn everyone against them given how friggin much they swap sides.

Unless I'm completely misremembering Keith and Wes were discussing Reed selling them out, stealing the note from Keith's bag, and telling everyone he has an idol. So my guess is that they just put their votes on Reed hoping that if there was some kind of split vote to flush the idol or conflict within the rest that their votes would put Reed over the top. Like, maybe they thought Jeremy's alliance told Reed to vote Keith and were planning a 4-3 Keith-Reed split so their votes would let Keith hang onto,his idol? I don't know exactly what the plan is but I don't think we should waste too much energy trying to figure out the plans of maybe the three dumbest players this season. And that's saying something.

Yea the vote splitting makes a bunch of sense, except it still does crap towards actually advancing themselves in the game. I do wonder if J/J alliance fed the Reed name, since Wes wanted to know who they were targeting and giving them Reed's name isn't particularly harmful to anyone but Reed.. who they don't really care about! Best thing will be seeing J/J fall apart because Reed has no reason to stick with them, Natalie is out for blood and while the other 3 are so easily manipulated, even they should see the benefit in getting rid of someone in a couple. Getting rid of Jeremy, as much as I didn't care for him (a REAL good guy lol), was kind of a terrible move at that point. Maybe Reed is in some final three sub-alliance that he feels great about? Maybe an idol will be played? Met posted:Well, yeah. Natalie said "What the gently caress, Missy?" right as Jeremy was leaving.

Can idols be played reactively? Like, could Jon play his idol if Keith played his? I wonder if they have to announce it at the voting urn or something so Probst can be waiting for it.
