I don't even know who Alexis is, however I'm disappointed it wasn't Jefra who went home. She is terrible. Brice was hilarious and entertaining, but I'd have done the same thing if I were Jeremiah.

Anonymous Zebra posted:The thing is...sometimes a person that is on a team that loses a lot still wins the game. Not even a couple seasons ago, a woman that went to every tribal won the game. It's a mildly more risky way to play, but thinking beyond "win the challenges" is a valid and sometimes winning way to play. What? You have got to be joking.

Piell posted:J'Tia was obviously terrible, but I really think Tasha is almost as bad in terms of making terrible decisions. The flag didn't need to be placed perfectly, it just needed to be on the mat and for everyone to pull at the same time. The other teams had the callers call when to pull, Brains didn't. And the waffling between who to kick out, when J'tia should have been gone two episodes ago (not only is she the anchor in challenges, she dumped out the rice for gently caress's sake!), it's clear she is not a good player.

KKKLIP ART posted:I'm pretty sure Woo was pissed and didn't want to throw the challenge so that's why he stayed out. He seemed fine bailing on Cliff, but only when the situation naturally came up. Yeah, as much as I want Woo and Cliff to stick together and go far, I was impressed that Woo went along with the idea (getting rid of Cliff) because he felt agreeing with Sarah was the best thing for him. It clearly wasn't something he wanted to do. Woo was just saying what he needed to in order to convince Sarah he was on her side/with her. It was smart of him to act like she was only saying what he'd already been thinking.

STAC Goat posted:She has at least one valid reason, and that's to break up a united alliance of three that would gain full control of the tribe if you let them. Is Morgan smart or mature enough to rise above her petty feelings and see this? I have no idea. Equally I have no idea if she even understands her role in Jeremiah and Alexis distrusting her or just assumes she could flash her boobs at Spencer and break up the Brains anyway. I don't get why you guys think it makes more sense for her to go along with the 3 Brains than for her to form a new alliance of four if the opportunity presents itself. It seems like the best case scenario for her voting with the Brains is to become the 4th in an alliance of 3 people that as far as she can tell are united (because they weren't stupid enough to air their dirty laundry). I get what you're saying on paper, but here in the real world, with real people, it makes ZERO sense for Morgan to do anything other than align with the Brains. Maybe try to bring in Sarah too, because Sarah will (in her mind) have 2 people she can bring into the fold at merge (Trish/Tony) so Morgan could reasonably expect a 7 person alliance with a 3/3/1 split. I think it's really important for Morgan that she works with Sarah here. Alexis would NEVER willingly join an alliance with Morgan in it. And even if she would, Morgan would be completely screwed once merge comes around. If she can align with both the Brains and Sarah, she has a chance to actually maneuver herself into a good situation. Not to mention if she does so, the next 3-4 eliminations will help her (Alexis/Jeremiah/Lindsey/Woo) post-merge. Keeping Alexis and/or Jeremiah around will only help LJ (and hurt Morgan). When she sees that Cliff is gone, it should be a red flag that she needs to weaken the Beauty tribe as much as possible. Mercaptopropyl fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Mar 25, 2014 |

In no way is working with the 3 ex-Beauties Sarah's best bet on this tribe. It would be suicide to try it, and whoever tried to orchestrate it would just find themselves voted out first if/when they go to tribal.

I love how all of my friends who watch the show told me to shut up when I bitched about having returnees every season. I don't know anyone who watches that isn't loving this season. Now if only this season could convince the producers I was right too. But it won't.

Earlier today people were talking about how bad a player Garrett was, and now Kass has proven herself to be one of the worst players ever. Sarah was equally as bad, especially tonight, but at least her vote made sense for her. I never thought I'd say this at the beginning of the season, but I'm totally rooting for Tony. He's a lunatic, but he's incredibly entertaining and I've loved him for a while now. Plus he's genuinely having the most fun out of anyone's on Survivor since maybe Reynold.

Luara is definitely one of my least-favorite survivors of all-time. There's nothing redeeming about her whatsoever imo. It's not even about her actions on the show it's just something about her personality that immediately rubbed me the wrong way.

Milovan Drecun posted:Where am I calling Spencer a horrible person? The comment just took him down from where I'd (and others) had him, a favorite, since that's part of the show. Liking people based on what they say and do, that's really all the audience can base their perceptions on, and it's totally ok to hold a comment like that against him. That makes perfect sense. I guess I'm just not one to hold it against people for occasionally putting their foot in their mouth.

I love how LJ told everyone that Tony wanted to get rid of Woo, which Tony did say but he was lying about it. Then Woo and his buddy Tony seize an opportunity to get rid of big bad traitorous LJ. So surely even though you're Trish and don't really believe Tony, you have to be wondering how it makes sense that Tony would go from wanting to blindside Woo, to working together with Woo to blindside LJ. How do you even make sense of that situation? edit: Also another thing I caught was Tony/Trish talking about the set F5 being (a scared) LJ/Jefra vs. Tony/Trish/Woo. And it's obvious nobody's dumb enough to keep Kass around just to vote her out at 6. Surely Trish planned to drag her along further than that. Somewhere in that 6 there had to be a solid group of 4 with F4 plans. But who? Mercaptopropyl fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Apr 17, 2014 |

Shakugan posted:What I really want to see is a season where every single castaway is a prospective "Brain tribe" member. It's not even that they all have to be smart (I mean, we've seen pretty clearly this season that not all of the brain tribe members were particularly smart in a Survivor strategy sense), they just need to think that they are smart. Because smart people on Survivor often can't help themselves in overplaying due to a supreme belief in their own intelligence, and a season where almost every player overplays would be a gigantic clusterfuck... and therefore awesome. This really would be the best season, as evidenced by the Brains tribe this season. It's not like it's hard to find enough people that think they're the smartest person of any group you put them in.

How do you not give the idol to Jeremiah there? Spencer finally won me over this episode, including with his vote for Woo, but I was really disappointed he couldn't make the obvious (yet difficult) call with the idol there.

Fast Luck posted:Because they're still down 4-3. I really think even if he was told the vote would be on Jeremiah, all it would mean is he'd keep the idol in his pocket. He's in survival mode, waiting for a fracture. I'd be totally fine with him keeping the idol there and rolling the dice on that. But like someone pointed out earlier in the thread, previous tribal councils had shown you they vote for the person who's least likely to have the idol. There were so many reasons they wouldn't vote for Spencer there and only one reason to think that they would. I almost always think it's stupid to give away the idol, even when doing so works, but in this situation if you aren't going to give it away you should risk keeping it. I love statistics more than anyone, but with a sample size of one you can't make your decision based on math unless you're completely clueless about what to do.

Loved this episode even though I still don't understand Tony's thought process in voting out Jefra when he has 2 idols. As a viewer, voting out Jefra was the best possible outcome this week. So many entertaining people this season, I love it!

It would have been nice if there was any suspense at all that Tony was going, but Tyler Perry Knows Best. xbilkis posted:This is one of the only things I've wanted to see since the merge episode, and to come so close only to have it taken away from me in favor of, like, Spencer boringly explaining why he's a genius would be cruelty. These are the best posts. Exactly how I feel but worded better than if I'd posted them. Kass will lose 100% of the time against Spencer or Tasha and even she can't rationalize otherwise. There is actually a reason people might vote for Kass over Tony, despite how incredibly unlikely that would be to happen. I'm hoping for a Kass/Tony final 2. But ultimately the thing I want most from the rest of this show is a chance to see Kass having to face the jury in the finals.

Just do the Exile Island thing where they had to pick the 2 tribes and the odd person isn't out they (*gasp*) go to exile, and then join the losing tribe after the first tribal council. That way when nobody picks Francesca, she won't be voted out first.

I missed maybe 4-5 of the middle seasons, so I figured I'd go back and watch some of them. I'm 4 episodes in to Exile Island and I have to say the Casaya tribe is already one of my favorite tribes ever. Maybe even my favorite. They're so dysfunctional it's hilarious and yet they're still winning all of the challenges. It's great how everyone in the majority alliance hates each other.
