Venus possibly could have gotten Charlie out there if her reasoning wasn't so dumb. Doubt it mattered much for her game since she's an easy target for a unanimous boot next week. Just made her target even easier.

Finding somebody to vote off means you have to find an excuse to sell. It could really be anything. Stephanie from Cook Islands was booted for pining after mashed potatoes when we see contestants verbally fantasizing about food all the time. I think the point is there's a deeper urge or unspoken reason to get rid of them, but they have to pin it on something that's acceptable to others.

Venus is smart and people don’t like her. To me that is an ideal #1 Survivor ally I guess other than someone who wins all the challenges but people hate.

Could have just said because he's good at challenges which is true and a good selling point. Wanting to vote him off because he was the only man who was vulnerable is a really bad reason.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:that seemed real dumb, from the edit at least it looks like that sealed her fate If she was targeted because orange hated Venus anyway but green was so kumbaya and tight they wanted to strike green... then if they'd known Moriah was concretely on the bottom there too they probably chop Venus for refusing to take orders while on the bottom. i guess you need to be strong and united if you're going into a swap but going into a merge of three tribes it's not that helpful. Like if green refuses to give a name from green then the other two tribes gotta team up against green. So green kinda gives Moriah's name but even then is clearly protective of her -> she's gotta go, green wants to stick together. Seems like the only way through is to give Mo's name but be normal about it and then have Mo work closely with enough of the others and not rock the boat at all and hope they target someone else instead. In that case though Moriah has no reason to care about your tribe much anymore once you've put her in that spot. Tika was helped by a swap that they didn't look like a tight 3 as everyone thought Carson was with them, Carolyn was isolated and unserious, etc so we've seen hiding your group is better. The Reba 4 even last season by sacrificing J Maya and Sifu were able to hide long-term... green trying to put the brakes on taking out any of their own really exposed Moriah--but in the end they voted for her so maybe they can integrate going forward, although Mo's reveal at TC burns them a bit Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Apr 4, 2024 |

It's pretty cool for the 2nd week in a row they have run the same immunity challenge at the same episode as they did for season 45. Although they did at least switch the end puzzle to a different one...

Fast Luck posted:i feel like she was cooked going in and that was her hail mary. Sadly it seemed to really resonate with people, like Q was saying "why didn't you tell us this earlier???" because it was too late to change. Yeah, my take is that everyone was basically solid going into the vote and she didn't change anything with the truth, but if she'd been honest earlier, people who wanted Venus could have won the argument earlier.

obliriovrons posted:Is this something that actually bothers people lol How could it not bother people to see how absolutely lazy Survivor production is at this point? Repeating a challenge, sure that's pretty normal for Survivor. Repeating a full challenge, to the point where they probably didn't take it down between filming is real bad. Survivor's already know the schedule of "twists" in the 4x Survivor, are we going to get to the point they know what challenge they are even going to run that day...? 15-20 years later, people still remember bits about the early seasons of Survivor, nobody is going to remember a drat thing about the 4x seasons in 10 years. People might remember a few players, but otherwise, the seasons have no identity.

To say its a lack of care is just silly, if they didn't care we'd be back to shuffleboard or spelling bees.

People have gone on this show for reasons other than "win the million dollars" since the very first season in Borneo, usually with a side goal of building a personal brand (Dr. Sean wanted to become a television personality).

It's not as if they don't have simple challenges they could bring back -- "move your entire tribe from one end of the balance beam to the other, past the rest of the tribe" is something they've done before and could do cheaply again. It's that they repeat the same things over and over season after season, rather than reaching into their bag of tricks and pulling something new out. At least the journey challenges have been a little different!

I wouldn't be that surprised if that specific challenge was taken out by Dan Spilo. They've pulled back on physical contact (more rules about distancing when they sleep) and that one uhhh, might be a victim rip.

I would actually be stoked to see shuffleboard, target shooting or any other of the old school challenges back. It's not like hand-eye coordination is any less of a skill than balancing poo poo, and Survivor already contains so much luck (especially in the New Era) that I don't need to pretend like the challenges are some grueling crucible which will winnow us down to only the most deserving. Hell, maybe we wouldn't keep getting 'the one tribe that sucks' every season if you could win a comeback on the basis of one person's sick ladder golf skills.

Having not watched since single digit seasons I don't know what is expected and what is a twist. Do they always merge at 13 people? Is it always the half immune, one person gone, and then the rest are part of the tribe? The preview said next week two people go home, so is that normal? Did they just edit it to look like someone was surprised? Couldn't be a twist if they are putting it in the preview.

This has been the pattern for the last 6 seasons yeah, same basic "twists" at the same points.

It's a "twist" but it's not a twist anymore because they haven't changed anything up drastically since 41. There's slight adjustments to some of the twists (like 41 let the odd person out at the 13 player merge flip the immunity results). Otherwise, the game has been the same.
