Holy poo poo you guys I'm watching Micronesia and the girls just got Erik to give up his immunity so they could boot him off. This is the most hilarious booting I've ever seen.

Honestly, I haven't found HvV that good. My three favourites all got voted out early (Sugar, Steph, Rob) and most of the season has been about Russell's alliance succeeding through other people being really loving stupid. I'm looking at you Tyson, JT and Candice.

Sugar + Steph are you favorite? :)

Sugar was totally awesome on Gabon with her special brand of play that you couldn't tell was strategic genius or total stupidity. As for Steph, she's a badass in challenges and I watched Guatemala while I was playing Awful Big Brother and I felt like our playstyles were very similar. I wouldn't necessarily put them in my top 3 ever but out of the HvV cast, yes I would.

Naonka is the best trainwreck ever. I hope she gets another season at some point (don't tell me!)

I feel bad for the returnees that seem to consistently be considered to return and then cut at the last second. I know Natalie from Micronesia is in a similar situation-- I think she was actually flown out for Heroes vs. Villains as an alternate, and I remember her name being mentioned during Blood vs. Water casting.

Oh man I'd love to see Natalie back. Sure, she was kind of an awful person but she was the only newbie who was able to match the Favorites

It's kind of lame right now but if it starts getting used strategically (purposefully voting someone out so they can beat someone in a duel) then it could be interesting.

Just finished Redemption Island. I can see why it's lumped in with the bad seasons cause there's not much in the way of great strategy but as a huge Boston Rob fan it was a joy to see him completely school everyone for the whole season. Also there was crazy Philip and the hilarity of Matt being endlessly beaten with the poo poo stick at Redemption Island.

Felt really bad for Natalie at the FTC though. Yeah, she was super naive but that's no reason to have such a go at her :smith:

Rob was a great player but the fact it took him four tries to win takes a lot away from it

There are plenty of great players who have never won it at all, I think anyone getting the win deserves respect for it. Except Neleh. gently caress Neleh.

I'm thinking Ozzy's alliance made a huge mistake for not voting out Cochran early. The one thing he's got to offer is that he's clearly gonna have a strong strategic game so it makes sense to take him out while keeping the tribe strong is the main deciding factor.

He comes and goes with being somewhat likeable. Also, I forget how far into the season - but I hope you like religion with a side of Survivor because if I remember right - that was one thing that became unbearable in the stretch you're currently in.

Yeah, I didn't really mind Matt going on about God so much cause he needed something to keep him sane and he never really made an effort to play the game but going straight from that to Brandon is a bit much.

One of the dumbest moves in Survivor history is exactly the kind of play you wanted to see? It was unforgivably stupid.

I like it because it has such high risk and either it's a huge move or an incredible gently caress up so either way it will be glorious.

Part of why it was so stupid was Ozzy took a huge risk for a laughably small payoff. Ozzy's gameplay is tone deaf on so many levels it's almost painful to watch.

Yeah, his attempt to sell his story was so bad and setting up your outcast to flip is so dumb. Cochran turning on them could be seen coming from a mile off.
