Death. But not for you, Gunslinger. Never for you.





Man, French Survivor is hosed up. They had a contestant die in a season premier once, and then the show's physician committed suicide over accusations from the media that he was to blame.

What the gently caress is going on on French Survivor where the cast can just wander away from filming and hit up a motel without anyone being able to stop them????

There's a pretty good thread over at reddit right now about what Survivor conspiracy theories do you believe.

https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/rgac86/what_survivor_conspiracy_theory_do_you_low_key/

Some outlandish ones like Survivor Thailand was actually filmed second after Borneo.

Some I've never heard of, like the All-Stars swap was designed to get Amber out. Apparently players reported that the buffs in the jar were stacked so that you could only grab what was on top, and they were all placed in order set by production.

Or in Cagayan after the final IC, production kept Woo and Tony away from Kass all afternoon so that she couldn't try and convince Woo to take her to the final 2 with him.

In Palau, apparently Janu did not plan to quit, the plan was to vote out Stephanie. But Jeff wanted Stephanie to advance in the game, so they pressured her to quit. She hesitated, until they stepped in and told her that they would take away her prize money and her seat on the jury if she refused to quit.

Of course there were the theories we've all heard for years, that RI was rigged for Rob to win, or WA was rigged for Ben to win. There were a few other theories that were a little convoluted, a lot surrounding the advantages that the Aitu 4 got in Cook Islands.

The one I read about is that Kass was convinced by Jeff uhh, really dunking on J'tia's challenge game for like an hour and a half, and she changed her mind because of that, and used that to push Tasha to vote for J'tia as well in whispers.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

You come to a fork in the road: The Challenge or OnlyFans.

Big Brother got in the door first so they pretty much run the Survivor people out of the game before they self-destruct/get outplayed by the native Challengers.

Yeah unless we get an absolutely hilarious Heather meme win, this is probably my least favorite season since I started regularly watching again with Heroes/Healers/Hustlers tbh (Season 39 poo poo aside).

Like I'm still happy to have had Survivor back, but this cast just did not land for me.

As someone who probably more than halfway believes every Ben conspiracy theory, i just don't see any way they literally threatened to withhold pay from someone unless they quit. That's absurd!

I've really enjoyed the last several episodes but it does seem like the primary drama heading into this is whether Ricard stays immune. If he does, there's no more suspense. If he doesn't, then I dunno if I'm really excited about any of the other players winning, I guess Deshaun would be a b-tier winner and the rest would be c-tier. Not even rating Heather as an option

I'm a bit excited, as who I think deserves to win most , who I want to win most, and who I think will actually win are all different.

I don't know who's going to win but I think Ricard would be a satisfying winner. He played a good individual immunity game and made some big plays to get his competition out. The fact that he booted Shan and then she promised him a vote at final tribal says a lot.

I don't hate any of them as winners, really.

Erika would probably be the least satisfying I think

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah I don’t think anyone really would disappoint me as a winner but no one would really excite me either. Like if Heather wins I’ll be surprised as hell but meh. No one else was blowing me away. If Ricard wins ok, I guess he did the best but I’m not gonna remember much when next season starts.

Great players have lost many times because they decided to take someone who they thought deserved to go to the end. Colby and Woo are the two that come to mind too.
