EW.com apparently did some dumb poll where fans could vote for TC winners. The fans didn't overturn many but did choose: Colby over Tina (?!) Boston Rob over Amber Stephenie LaGrossa over Dani (this was a 6-1 romp, gently caress off fans) Russell over Natalie Parv over Sandra Chrissy over Ben Sophie still beats Coach and Mich Fitz still beats Aubry (barely) so the fans were pretty restrained overall I guess.

Fast Luck posted:Chrissy over Ben lol what How can anyone rationalize how anyone should have won over Ben, when he found infinity immunity idols while constantly being given hours of unsupervised time to look for them? Chrissy is the #1 person to blame for Ben's win, because she was the "mastermind" of the alliance that let him continuously search for idols and blindside them week after week. (Yes, I know you're going to say the fire making twist was a producer-influenced cheat code for Ben, but he shouldn't have even been in the game for that so this is what I'm faulting her for)

The reddit hivemind thinks that Ben was rigged to win through idols and the twist, and they usually control these kinds of votes.

Yea, we had this discussion last season, the season in which Ben won. Not much to go on really other than, "This guy kept looking and finding idols while everyone else sat around thinking there was no idols, must be rigged...

production putting idols where he could find them is a possibility, but you don't have to believe it was "rigged" to believe having to idol yourself to safety three separate times shows certain game weaknesses too. And then the exclamation point is that even after all those idols, he STILL was going home at F4 until the fire twist bailed him out. and again, you don't have to think that was Survivor rigging it in order to think these factors make him possibly the weakest player from a social survival aspect to ever make a F3.

The whole "follow him around" strategy was stupid anyway because what the gently caress are you going to do do, tackle a marine when he starts rooting around in the bush?

What they should have done is hide Chrissy's dead idol so he found it and stopped looking but that's easy for me to to say from my couch.

Genuinely "rigging" the game seems far too risky to me. If that poo poo got out it could seriously wound their cash cow Random poo poo keeping people around is 100% normal Survivor, though

Lol at the guy who thinks production is putting idols under Ben's favorite making GBS threads rock or whatever. Also, he had to do because he was a threat that everyone knew would win if he got to the end. That's the definition of a good game. He was good enough that if he got there he was a defacto winner and just because everyone else couldn't compete with that he became a target who had to utilize tools present in the game to ensure his safety. If you think CBS is rigging the game then about 50% of the winners wouldn't have won (see the list that started this discussion for a start). Some people are luckier than others. See people work harder than others. Ben happened to be both.

Ben, was a lovely winner, I agree. But, the entire thing about it being rigged for Ben was what I was replying too. And unfortunately, a survivor taking advantage of a game mechanic is just not production rigging the game for him. Now if they start using drones to drop idols, then maybe :P

Was trying to find a clip of that time when everybody went out in a mad rush after someone for the idol, and someone other than the person with the hint managed to get it. I can't remember what season it was.

That was a bold move. Took one for the team making those other three pretty happy with him, getting a guaranteed advantage, and maybe Kellyn is more pissed at SeaBass for picking him than him for taking it?

Sea Bass picked only men and left four women on the beach alone. Setting up for a good old gender alliance
