So everyone on the cast seems pretty likable other than Ronnie (who's out) and maybe Jason (too weaselly) and Noura (she's got some crazy eyes). Aaron could have douchebag potential, but it's early days. Don't know if I have any early favourites yet. I like a lot of the women.

Or should could have refused the offer, gone to Tribal, been voted out and spend the test of her life regretting not choosing to compete in the fire challenge.

The cast does seem promising tho.

Or she loses her vote, goes to tribal and ends up getting voted out because she needed her own vote. You can't know what's going to happen in the future, but taking a maybe ~5% shot at getting a immunity idol is not worth almost certainly losing your vote. She had no chance in the fire making and she should have known it

Lone Goat posted:or she could have lost the challenge, then got voted off 5-4 because she surrendered her vote for no reason!!!!! I thought the real lesson of Survivor is that if someone makes you an offer (eg to join an alliance), you take that first offer and say "Yes! Let's do it." And it's easy to sit at home and second-guess. Elizabeth could have suggested, "I can't beat you Rob so how about we make the challenge against Sandra?" Or, like "man, if I was there I would have kicked over Rob's pile of kindling". But she's been in Survivor for 3 days, was told Rob and Sandra aren't in the game, and are her mentors. There's producers and a camera crew surrounding them. There are 2 fire pits set up for a contest. And she was an Olympic swimmer - it's a really competitive sport. There's no way she was going to back down from a challenge. And in lighter news - overall this seems like a really good cast so far.

Yeah, I don't really knock her for taking the offer. Its an overwhelming situation and Rob had all the leverage. She had no real reason to suspect that she could bargain for a better deal and the whole thing was just so much that I can't say I wouldn't have just said "gently caress it, I want to do this and play Boston Rob, I'm probably not going home this week." Her misplay was the lie about it. But we'll see if it comes back to bite her.

There was no way anyone could find out about her lost vote (unless she screwed up and told them) and thus there's not really any scenario where she would need her vote. I guess a 5-5 tie, but it's the first episode and realistically if everyone knew going into Tribal it was going to be 5-5 someone would flip before the vote anyway. The punishment *should* be a publicly lost vote because then it becomes a much bigger issue (and thus more strategically interesting). For example, piling votes on her for a 9-0 vote becomes a pretty safe thing to do since even if she has and plays an idol they would get a chance to re-vote instead of her one vote deciding who goes home. There are also some vote split plans that only become viable if they know about the missing vote (ordinarily you need 7 votes to split on a 10 person tribe, but with one missing vote you can get away with 6, not that that would have been too relevant here).

Bigass Moth posted:Rob and Sandra telling us who they like and who is smart at tribal is metagaming to the next level. Yeah. I really wasn't into the mentor thing after the fire but I can see it getting a lot better if they can pass on advice from tribals and pitch specific strategies to whomever. That seemed like a decent start though. Most of the recent seasons usually take me awhile to get into but this is interesting enough already. Sandra is good.

Yeah, I still don't like the lie and don't think it was necessary. I mean it was like the 3rd day on the island and she probably could have just come back and said "Oh, I don't want to really spoil the surprise yet, but it's very cool and you get a chance to play a game for an idol but I lost" and I'd bet most of the people in her tribe would let it go for the time being.

She could have said “Boston Rob and Sandra are there and they offer to teach you skills, and then you can challenge for an advantage” and people would probably think she’s lying.

Enjoyable episode, but I hope the idols have a much more engaging role than teaching people how to strategize, make fires, and offering immunities. I want them to really impact the game somehow. Also gently caress my Tivo for not recording this at the last minute and forcing me to watch it on demand with what must have been 50 minutes of commercials. I almost lost my loving mind. Commercials suck so much.

Jimmy Fallon is responsible for Rob and Sandra's TC shackquote:The Tonight Show host and Saturday Night Live alum is a noted Survivor fan, whom Probst has credited in the past for coming up with the premise for Survivor: Second Chance, a season in which fans voted players back onto the show. Speaking with THR through email, Fallon says he's constantly pitching Probst on new Survivor twists. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/survivor-island-idols-premiere-explained-1243367

I could see getting into the box with Sandra and/or Rob to peep on a rival tribal or something being a potential reward. The best scenario would be Rob or Sandra reacting so loud the castaways notice.
