Didn't really even feel like watching the last few seasons, but I do love this season's concept. Hopefully it's just as good as Heroes vs. Villains but that's pretty high to shoot for.

BUT why, in this tribe full of experienced players, do they vote out a challenge beast like Nat first? Like, there were zero conversations about worries over voting out strength and losing more challenges. How did that not even come up?

Probably because she was a challenge beast PLUS her strong relationship with Jeremy. Rob knows what a target he has on his back due to him and Amber so he’s taking that threat out early. Plus, you know these tribes won’t stay like this long, there will be a swap or two before the merge. These people started with loyalties to other players, not tribal loyalties that they currently have unlike other seasons.

I’m sure the other players will try to team up and blindside but if Rob and Parvati stick together they’re going to be a pretty drat unstoppable team.

if the jar is unstealable, like idols/etc, that seems pretty great just stick it in your bag. it'll keep forever, too, unlike a pizza.

No idea how it would be. I can see the rules of the game preventing idol stealing but Rupert proved pirating can be done easily. You’d have to hide that peanut butter in your pants like beef jerky.

So Sandra selling her idol to Denise was a dumb overplay obviously

I think Denise getting Sandra out is a bit of an overplay too? I don't know that she's in a better position with zero idols minus Sandra, a relationship with Jeremy, and a target, than she would have been with one idol minus Tony and relationships with Jeremy and Sandra.

To be fair though, usually Sandra manages to slide under the radar. Everyone knows it but they still let her do it. Taking her out now...that's going to earn huge respect. She did waste an idol though, and you saw Jeremy hold his head in embarrassment when he realized what she did and that he voted for her.

Yeah, going straight for Sandra is the best TV move for us, but I'm not sure I would have gone for that. She could've blackmailed Sandra to some degree or used that as a way to work with her for a while. Using 2nd idol seems a bit extreme and leaves her vulnerable. Maybe she really wanted a resume move? Gotta be another tribal or so before merge, so she's at least drawn aggro for a week.

Blackmail the Queen? Good luck with that. :)

Does anyone know what the contingency plan in the rules are if, at vote time, everyone is either gone or has made themselves immune? Do they just cancel tribal?

Not exactly the situation you described, but.....just watch if you haven't.

Right, but what if she also had an idol?

From https://survivor.fandom.com/wiki/Tiebreaker, so take it for what it's worth.

quote:

Null Votes
If a null vote (i.e. a vote where none of the votes cast count, possibly due to multiple Hidden Immunity Idols negating all votes) occurs, a vote restart would occur.

All of those who had gained individual immunity (e.g. those with the Immunity Necklace and the ones who played a Hidden Immunity Idol) during the regular vote are individually immune; this immunity cannot be passed before the restarted vote. This is a fully restarted vote with the non-immune contestants not considered "tied", so the non-immune contestants would remain eligible to vote; however, it is believed that idols and advantages cannot be played at a restarted vote. In the event that a restarted vote ties, it is treated the same as any other tie, even if everyone eligible to receive votes at the restart is part of the tie.

Clear as mud.

It occurred to me that Survivor starts filming at the end of March and goes through until July for the two seasons each year. Looked it up and yep, Survivor production delayed until May. But they still expect to be able to film then and put out the first season as originally planned in September.

I just don't see that happening.

We've got our own Survivor going on now, with toilet paper as a coveted reward item.

“I am NOT a hidden immunity idol,” Jeff said, and in one or two Survivor’s minds—to their eternal shame—a silly scene played out as they remembered what happens to fake idols for a moment…but this moment would soon give way to something they all would see for an eternity every time they closed their eyes; indeed, Jeff threw himself into the flames and they could do nothing to save him, they—Survivors now literal—could do nothing but watch, just as the millions of viewers at home who could do nothing but watch this pyre, when it aired on CBS on Wednesday night, six months later.

In the porn version, Jeff has announced that there is a hidden immunity idol in his pants.
