It's all dumb bullshit. Boston Rob just intentionally made it bullshit instead of thinking it was deep or witty.

Seems like that "Everyone sucks" personality might be part of it. I can understand a bit of bitterness from her considering how her last-minute spot on BvW turned out so hilariously poorly, but still.

It's funny because in her first two seasons, Candice's flips ended up causing more trouble than she was worth - the Aitu 4 destroyed everyone else in Cook Islands, and Candice's flip in HvV sealed the Heroes' fate in HvV since Sandra was going to flip on the Villians, but she gave up once Candice flipped. So she doesn't really have a high ground to talk down to J.T. I don't blame her tribe for ousting her first in BvW. She's not exactly the most reliable ally.

by my count, that was Sandra's 30th tribal council across 3 seasons. She has received 5 votes against her total and 4 of them were just for other people in final tribals. gently caress you, HvV Sad Sack Colby.

You gotta love JT's cluelessness. Michaela's greatest failing is she freaks and lashes out when she feels threatened, to her own detriment. Yet here was a tribal council where JT was openly instigating against her and Michaela has suddenly listened to Samuel L Jackson's advice and is as cool as Fonzie. Right there alarm bells should have been going off. If he had listened closer, Sandra and Varner both *appeared* to agree with him, but actually left the door open. just some bad play on his part two councils in a row. Contrast that with Sandra's classic stirring up trouble. Burn the hat? Take the sugar! Let someone else take the blame, and sit back and try hard to not openly laugh. One wonders if openly bragging about it will bring her down in the end, but for the moment, she is pure Survivor gold. Debbie. Always felt she was a little disturbed. Let me change that to a lot disturbed, as in this is uncomfortable, you need to seek professional help. During the challenge, she did her level best to be a distraction - can't wait for her to be gone.

At this point I can't decide whether I want the final outcome to be her somehow, somehow making it to FTC a third time, or if her serving on a jury would be Eliza levels of fantastic. Either way, as long as she doesn't turn into a bitter baby on the jury, I find it hard to imagine a way where any exit she makes won't be satisfying.

Like him sucking is what made it fun.

I'm hoping Sandra/Michaela/Varner stick together. The trio have a very solid level of sass and subterfuge. In a fun way too, not like Scot/Jason "let's hide the machete because we're sour lemons".its me glenda posted:fun hypothetical time: if sandra makes it to the end is there anyone who beats her? maybe brad? and even that feels like a stretch. It's way too early to tell at this point. I could actually see Brad beating her, he's had a very good storyline so far, and if Nuku keeps their majority going into the merge he'll have a good number of friends on the jury. As much as I'd like Varner to win, he's not exactly a star player. But you never know, some players' games don't really kick off til the merge, and him finally making it to the jury phase might shift him into 'let's play' mode.

if I had to place any money on someone winning now, the show SEEMS to be building up a narrative for Brad. I could be wrong, but he's been shown very positively, and also as in control as anyone in this game besides Sandra. and he's still not a big threat. despite now being the second-most physically fit man left in the game.

Sandra is funny but kind of meh for me, but I think it'd be interesting watching those three work together. Varner just completely let the whole thing play out with a big old smile on his face.

My all-time favorite alliance was Rob/Tyson/Sandra/Courtney from HvV because I find all four of them really funny. It's crazy to think that that alliance had 4 wins between it. I approve of Sandra/Michaela/Jeff and hope they end up ruling things.

Eh, I'm not much of a Varner fan, but I also think he won't stick with Sandra for long. I don't even think he's really with Sandra at all. He just decided that he rather have Michaela around than JT for whatever reason. Varner seems like one of those players who can't stop tinkering and eventually blows up his game. There's no way he'll be content running alongside Sandra. You can't know who will win this early (unless you subscribe to that edit reading crap). It all comes down to how people get treated and how things break. There's no telling who pisses off who and who gets seen as the powerbrokers. Sandra's advantages are that she seems well liked and everyone seems to take it on faith that she's a super smart player. But she could easily rub people wrong down the road.

I think Sandra is screwed because she has TWO big targets on her. First, she is your standard "player in control" that people always like to gun for. But second, and even if she were just floating, she would still have a target because people want to claim credit for eliminating the only two-time winner in Survivor history.

I mean, she started the game behind the 8 ball like Hatch in All Stars. Every week she survives just adds to her legend. I'd say the only other players with even close to the same kind of burden on them coming in are Tony, Cirie, and maybe Ozzy.

There's no way he'll be content running alongside Sandra. Michaela is probably his new Abi-Maria - she might be a little abrasive, but she's also a good shield and, depending on how much she annoys people, could be out-talked at the end. I think Michaela is too proactive of a player to be considered a goat, but if there's one thing Varner can do, it's talk. I think the season is off to a decent start so far, but it's still early days. All returnee seasons tend to either be really good or really bad.

I just did a rewatch of tocantins. Part of why jt won was heavily due to him being more of a listener than a schemer, he was also benefitting from being a swing vote post merge to an imploding timbira tribe and being the 2nd in command on his tribe as a leader (to joe). He played a good, not great game amd benefited from being next to stephen while he had one of the worst final tribal council performances ever. What made his social game so strong was just being quiet and listening to what people had to say. He brought none of this with him in his next two seasons.

I disagree with the goat. Varner and Sandra are in lock step. There's no way she giggles to him while she eats the sugar unless she knows he's solid. Sandra's no dummy. You have to be very very tight in survivor to let somebody see you stealing food and get away with it.

I'm taking a lazy Sunday and rewatching early Australia episodes to try and get a handle on Varner, and oh my goodness. He was a cutie back in the day  This aired when I was 14, and I don't think I've seen it since. Who knew Elisabeth Filarski would become so much?
