It didn't trick Randy hard, he had a pretty good idea it was fake. That 'shocked' look on his face came from earlier in the tribal in response to something unrelated. Welcome to Survivor editing.

Oh man, that's what I get for never reading/listening/watching anything outside of what's on the actual show.

It's hard to imagine anybody but Mike getting the power at the auction. He is going to $500 immediately and snag it. The only hope is that it is covered and not obvious that it is an advantage.

Probst said it was something everyone else wouldn't know about unless they are told about it by the person who has it so I don't see how it'll be obvious.

It's a cycle for sure. Will people respect my cunning and smart double-dealing in the end?, or will they act like total brat bitches at the final vote? (I'm still REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY against Ponderosa and the bitter party it perpetuates) It also depends a lot on how many players have actually been watching for the last couple years, and how many of them are just hot baristas from SoCal that have neer seen Survivor in their lives.

There hasn't been a bitter jury since like... Nicaragua

It'll be obvious because jeff will announce that it is advantage and whoever says 500 first gets it. That's all I meant

yeah, not everybody gets bitter in a single season. I still am really against the jurors talking to each other, because even though "most" people won't change their minds, there's still the potential for basically a part 3 shadow game that we never see. The only thing keeping it from being a legitimate strategy to send your best friend to your jury, is the prohibition against sharing prize money.

This was the big fear for Blood vs. Water when Luara was on Redemption Island for ~15 days making friends while Ciera was still in the game.

Thailand is hot garbage but has one (two?) of the funniest moments ever just based on complete absurdity. Amazon is awesome.

I bet Mike and Shirin will both bid $500 and it will go to rocks like Tony/Spencer in Cagayan.

What would be interesting if there are two advantages at the auction. A first one which is an Immunity challenge advantage or an Idol clue, and a second which is the power. In that case, if anything Jeff says hints at the second better advantage during the first, I wouldn't be surprised if Shirin picks up on it and waits and lets Mike waste his money on the first.

Kathy Vavrick Obrien is reason enough to watch Marquesas. I've never seen such a redemption arc in the history of the show. She went from being ostracized by her original tribe and sure to be the next to go, somehow making it by the skin of her teeth every week, and made it to the final three (of a final (terrible) 2 season).

It also shows the first of (4 ugh) Boston Rob season. People could see through his bullshit, and I'm not even sure if he made it through to the jury. But then he was the first two ever take advantage of his real life relationships off the show with the fellow players, this was when Survivor was the number one show on tv, and use unlike anyone else on the show did to secure himself the 2nd and 1st places (because he carried the undeserving Amber to that victory).

If Met doesn't already know what happens, might want to spoiler that first paragraph.

Also Marquesas is pretty okay, Thailand is pretty bad, Amazon is great.

I am in this exact boat. I have seen pretty much every episode of Survivor live, probably have only missed less than 10 episodes across the entire thing from the very first episode to right now. And I cannot remember anything from past seasons except the biggest moments and the best people. I'm probably due a re-watch from the top.

The second thing was Kathy bringing down the Rotu 4, I think that covers your first part :colbert:
