I hope Alexis, Sarah, and Trish are the first three boots because jut reading their bios in the OP they seem like terrible people.

STAC Goat posted:And a lot of the winners people tend to call weak are people who managed to dodge and evade all this luck and game play to get to the end and secure the votes. And that's literally the point of the game so it seems weird to call them undeserving or bad winners. This is why Fabio is one of my favorite winners. He was such a complete non-factor and then suddenly at like final six or so the remaining players were like "oh poo poo we forgot about Fabio and everyone likes him more than us" and he ran the table from there.

I always feel bad for people that get booted early because their tribe went with someone who was clearly terrible due to "well it's not me" mentality, only for the terrible person to get booted shortly after becuase their tribe realized that they're terrible. Would have loved to see what David could have done this season. So because Garrett got voted out his idol doesn't go back into play, right? Also: I wonder what the average IQ of the brains tribe is with him gone. Probbly up to about 150, right?

Teek posted:It generally gets re-hidden this early in the game. Isn't that because people played it though? I thought played idols go back in but voted out idols don't, but I wasn't sure which is why I asked. I'm not sure if anyone that had an idol this early got voted out so fast before.

I really hope Spencer manages to stay in the game for a long time so he can keep being a snarky rear end in a top hat in his confesionals and his reactions to people.

Before this week I was pretty convinced that the lawyer in Kass was just going for the "guaranteed" cash that she can get for third place instead of whatever it would be if she finished lower while trying to go for the million. Now though I'm pretty sure she's just delusional. Still, I think they nailed it on the casting again this season. Just goes to show that when you hire fans instead of random people it makes for much better TV. There are probably five or six people from this season that I'd love to see on an All-Stars or Fans vs Faves season again.

I wouldn't mind them doing an All-Star season for 30. Every five seasons I think would be enough time for either an all-star or FvF to build up a good enough cast of returnees that we'd all love to see. e: the spoiler from that link on which way they seem to be leaning for s29 makes me happy.

Ror posted:I'm having trouble parsing those posts, the guy with the leaked info didn't say it but seemed to confirm another poster, are you talking about all-newbie Blood vs. Water? I really like that idea. Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I think a lot of people in the thread that season were talking about how much they would like to see the concept done without returning players that already knew a ton about each other, myself included, so I'm hoping it happens

The Lord Bude posted:(I'd also make them film somewhere that isn't another generic tropical island for a change) I think they do this because it gets legit dangerous in a lot of landlocked areas in ways they can't control. Didn't one of the tribes in Tocantins have their entire water supply contaminated or something?

Propaganda Machine posted:Her rationale was literally that she didn't like Sarah, even after Tash attempted to mediate their differences (waa Tash is taking Sarah's side). That is a horrible reason to flip, especially right after the merge. I can't think of a single time that's gone well for the flipper. My favorite part about this is when it came full circle and she said to her new alliance "You can't vote someone out just because they annoy you" with absolutely zero self recognition.

I have a feeling that Tony is going to somehow get Trish eliminated this week, setting Kaos Kass up as a swing vote again in the final five.

Occupation posted:Nah, Coach completely lost his own game, I'm trying to think of the last time a player has self-destructed so thoroughly in the leadup to the end of the game when they should've easily won It wouldn't have been an easy win (he probably still would have lost) but Russell torpedoing his alliance in HvV reduced his chances from "maybe" to "no chance in hell." I think Woo winning would be terrible, as much as I like him. Fabio winning was awesome because nobody else left was likable or all that good at the game, but aside from Kass I think everyone else remaining is deserving. Speaking of Kass, I'm not sure I've seen a more delusional and full of themself player on this game. I've seen higher on each scale separately, sure, but no combo like she has. I wonder if she just assumes she'll be able to win over the jury becuse she's a lawyer. IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 18:51 on May 8, 2014 |

Trish has also played a pretty big part keeping the alliance together when Tony and Woo went off to vote out LJ without the women knowing about it.

Hey guys! I'm spoilering this list because I specifically said it's non-winners and people might be watching those seasons! *everyone else proceeds to openly talk about players on the list* I like your list Poque and while there are players I would really like to see that meet your conditions I am having a hard time figuring out who I would take out to do so. e: man, tocantins was such a good season, I might need to go back and rewatch it IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 20:28 on May 9, 2014 |

Vernacular posted:Some actual contenders for "dumbest and most terrible move in Survivor history": Every time I see one of these lists I get really sad that nobody ever mentions Ian basically forfeiting a million dollars so Tom will be his friend again. Maybe it's becauase it's from a really old season but I don't think anything has ever topped that.

Shakugan posted:Honestly, if even third place in the final tribal gets like $100k, I don't think deliberately making yourself a goat knowing there is absolutely no way you can actually win the million is that bad a strategy. It's probably the singular strategy with the highest expected value. I said this exact thing a few weeks ago, specifically to do with the "hedge your bets by guaranteeing yourself six figures, even if you have almost zero chance at the million" strategy. However, the last few weeks have made me back off on that being Kass's plan because she really thinks she's playing a winning game and it's hilarious.

Shakugan posted:Previously I didn't think the strategy was viable because I thought there was only prize money for the winner and runner-up. A final 3 where a deliberate goat comes third (and therefore doesn't get any money) obviously isn't workable. Before this week I'd never seen mention that the third place got any money. Everyone gets money, even the first boot. I don't know if anyone has ever said how much it is though. I think I remember a contract being leaked once before but I may just be imagining it/confusing it with a different show.

sportsgenius86 posted:Kass' strategy of trying to get Tony unhinged at Tribal is a sound one, the problem is that she's such an outright bitch in the process that she's actually making Tony more endearing because he's making fun of someone they all loathe so much. It would actually work pretty well if it weren't for the fact that the jury all know her for what she is. If they only had tribal to go off it would make Tony look like an idiot instead of a hero.

Is there a site that streams survivor live? I've been watching on thursdays because I ditched cable (and am too lazy to buy a converter/antenna) but between my friends and the survivor game in the game room there's basically no way I can avoid spoilers until after work tomorrow, I think.

Genetic squares posted:I think Spencer's little talk didn't matter at all. If you were thinking of voting Woo that condescending talk by Spencer would not sway you to vote Tony. I actually kind of think Tony's response to Trish solidified any of the Jury still undecided to vote for him, because I'm not sure I've seen anyone own it like that before, and usually you can tell that's all the jury really wants as long as they aren't really bitter.
