I kind of feel bad for Rob and Sandra, 2 of the Survivor greats stuck in a position of no control on what will likely be the worst season of the show.

Janet is gonna win the fire challenge isn't she
we saw her make fire episode 1
I’m afraid she’s going to be bounced next vote by the dumb idol nullifier.

Anyway, with Dan out of the way, it locks at least one of Tommy/Dean/Janet at f3.

What a disaster of a situation and season as a whole.

Here's a new ugly dimension to this reality I just thought of: Janet has an idol for 5, can make fire better than anyone to get through 4, and would probably beat anyone at Final 3. Essentially the only way she can lose the game is god drat Dean playing his god drat nullifier on her at 5. After all this ugliness, against all odds, the season was inches from having an incredibly satisfying winner, and it's all probably going to go to hell because of a dumb twist and dumb freaking Dean.

Truly the darkest timeline.

I dunno, Tommy, Lauren, or Noura would all be a fine winner for this trainwreck of a season. I think there's been enough to show that Tommy is playing an A Grade social game.

If there wasn’t a nullifier then by evacuating Dan they’d be seriously screwing everyone who’d planned to flush Janet’s idol at 6. The season would still be messed up. Also Dan being straight up kicked off the show really says to me this cast was straight up delusional to still be pushing that don’t sleep on 39 stuff.

Hey, remember when Jamal went to the Island of Idols? He had found a clue hidden in plain sight and was whisked away to Rob and Sandra's camp. There, he was
chastised for expecting "something for nothing" and was only given a piece of paper and a pen to do as he wished. He made a fake legacy advantage and pinned it on Dean, and was voted out the next tribal.

Dean, a few episodes later, gets his name picked out of a hat and is similarly summoned to Rob and Sandra, where he wins a coin flip to receive an idol nulifier. (Yeah, he risked his vote... in a tribal where Elaine lost 5-2.) So not only a dumb twist as you correctly called it, for more or less....something for nothing.

I had the same realization, "Hey Rob previously said on Survivor you don't get something for nothing and then he gave Dean something for nothing" where the reward far outweighed the risk.

It adds an interesting twist to the apologies that came out after the first stuff aired, where they all acted shocked at how stuff appeared on-screen.

I guess Survivor finally has it's own Big Brother Season 9 (I haven't watched most recent seasons so i don't know if they've had a worse one since then)

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I guess to play devil's advocate a lot of the silence at least from productions side could actually be legal stuff if Dan is in more trouble than just being kicked out of a game. And maybe the players just didn't want to or couldn't reveal Dan's fate. But that would mean production lied when they said the players were choosing not to speak. I guess that could be answered if they all do press now. But with the finale being pretaped it all feels sketchy and lovely still.

I don't know. Its all gross and I'm very much not having any fun anymore.

Yikes... this dude was an IRL serial creeper.
If he wasn't supplanted in Hollywood entertainment circles I would have call this shocking.

We may never know if Dan was the Second Coming of Harvey Weinberg but it does go to show that his type of behavior is very commonplace in the entertainment field.

I don't know if that was an accident or not but its probably not a great idea to replace one Jewish surname with another.

I'll probably watch it to see how it plays out and how they handle the issues on the finale but like, I don't care who wins and if it weren't for this thread I probably wouldn't care about watching it in a timely matter. And the finale will just feel fake and a pr statement now. But I guess I kind of want to see them all apologize to Kellee even if I won't believe it from half of them.

Here's a People scoop

quote:

At the end of Wednesday night’s episode of Survivor: Island of the Idols, it was revealed that contestant Dan Spilo was removed from the game as a result of an undisclosed “incident.”

The explanation that appeared on screen was nebulous: “Dan was removed from the game after a report of another incident, which happened off-camera and did not involve a player.”

PEOPLE has spoken to multiple people involved with the show’s production, who confirmed that the incident in question — which involved a member of the show’s production team — happened after an immunity challenge as Spilo and other contestants were getting into a boat to transport them back to the camp.

At one point, Spilo allegedly touched the female crew member’s leg. According to multiple sources, he insisted that the contact was inadvertent and accidental as he lost his balance while trying to get into the boat. At least one of the remaining contestants witnessed the incident.

But the show’s production team wasn’t convinced that the contact was merely incidental. After consulting with the show’s legal team, producers eventually decided to remove him from the show.

Sources close to Spilo say that he vehemently disagreed with the decision to remove him from the game.

You don't have to go "production is poo poo" to Varner's argument because he's not arguing "production is poo poo because they mishandled this." He's saying that production is lying and making it look like Dan is a pervert but he's innocent and should never have been removed from the show and production is silencing the cast who love Dan and hate Kellee. He is very much NOT agreeing with our criticisms of production.

On the infinitesimal chance that it’s true that Dan actually did trip and grab a production lady’s leg totally accidentally and unfairly got kicked off for it, it doesn’t matter and it’s still good because he should have been booted by the end of the first week of the game.
