I want the final 3 to be Kim/Sandra/Denise and I will be furious if any of them are out before the merge.

It's hard to narrow it down between my favs but I think this is what I'm going with: Pony: Kim I know she probably won't last long because everyone seems extremely freaked the gently caress out by her (and they probably should be) but she's so dang good at Survivor I'm excited to see what she does against competitors with a higher IQ than Leif. Poison: Amber She's boring and I'm fully expecting that every single one of her confessionals is going to be about marrying Rob and their relationship and I just do.not.care.

I made my wife get out of the jacuzzi on vacation so I could watch this and I have no regrets. Thoughts: - INSANELY good premiere. Tension pretty much the entire two hours. - Absolutely inspiring to watch Sandra roll up to a group of people who know how dangerous she is, talk 30 seconds of poo poo, and smirk in the corner when she instantly has the target fall off her back. Queen stays Queen! - Shocked and thrilled to have the two of the least deserving people on this season gone back to back. Perfect boots for quality of TV. - Thank god for Natalie gifting her idol for maximum tv entertainment. - Denise, Kim, and Sandra are my three favorites and this was an absolute rollercoaster but I’m happy all of them seem to be playing hard and well. - If this keeps up it will probably be the best season of all time??

Do we even know for sure Rob actually said that? My first assumption was she made it up entirely so she could have a reason to go after Amber.

Lone Goat posted:Weird that Danni (assumedly) had no pre-game alliance and gave her token to someone that voted for her. This is probably wishful thinking, but I would guess that Denise is playing the same strong social game she played last time, which is be the nice therapist that everyone likes while building relationships, and that that just hasn't been interesting enough to show given the chaos of the first two episodes.

Binary Logic posted:I think its 30%. That's the number from a million dollar *ahem* winner from McMillions. You have to pay federal tax and state tax, if required, of where the show films (usually California which requires it) and while the numbers vary a bit by state and your tax bracket overall if you receive cash as a prize it usually ends up being in the neighborhood of 45%-50% of total winnings going to taxes.

ApplesandOranges posted:And I think that's a valid stance to take, because if he was never for contention you don't want to get people's hopes up. I don't think any of them have gotten any word from production even after the cast list was finalized though, not even a 'hey I know you would have wanted to be on, but this is why'. Because I think Vecepia has been wanting to come back for decades and they've just stonewalled her. I don't remember where I read this, but supposedly for this go around they cast a really wide net early on just to see who would say yes and stumbled into finding out they had enough winners for the season. Pretty much called up every even remotely popular person just to see if they were willing to play again. A lot of popular non-winners were apparently told they weren't chosen but that "they'd understand when they saw the season's theme."

Lt Jon Kavanaugh posted:The only winner I'm bummed about not having back is Chris from Vanuatu, I've always thought he was one of the best winners. But I get that he probably didn't want to play again and even if he did you'd have to cut one of the more recent winners and CBS probably wouldn't want to do that. Jeff hates him because on day one he made an alliance of uggos and voted off all the beefcake.

Lt Jon Kavanaugh posted:I have no idea if thats true or not but sounds completely believable given Jeffs opinions. I'm kind of half kidding, but not really. It's apparently known that Jeff doesn't like Chris, but afaik no one has ever really gone into details on why. Part of it is very likely that Jeff ended up dating Julie Berry from that season, and Chris was the swing vote who lied to them and then took out Julie at Final Five, so I imagine Julie was not a fan of him at all even though she ultimately voted for him to win. I genuinely think though that Probst was super pissed about that whole season because pre-merge a bunch of out of shape guys who called themselves the Fat Five seized control of the game, and then at the merge it shifted into an almost entirely female-dominated game who took out everyone but Chris. Adding onto that, most of the younger half of the cast was eliminated pre-jury, and most of the remaining contestants for the back half of the game were pretty old by Survivor standards, and I doubt Jeffrey enjoyed any of that.

The fact that everyone knows that Amber is on Edge and no one in the game has a clear understanding of what exactly is going on on Edge or how things work probably mean that people are (smartly, imo, even though we the viewers know he doesn't have anything at this point) assuming that Amber's been sending Rob poo poo and that he's got idols or advantages in his pocket. Like someone else mentioned I saw the Ethan vote as a move to try to flush an idol, it just turns out none of the targets had one.

I can't remember the wording of it -- can he play it any time at Tribal and just leave, or does he have to play it before they even go to Tribal and he misses the whole thing? If it's the former, the dream comedy scenario is that Sarah steals his vote and then he walks out, nullifying her stolen vote.

BGrifter posted:Makes sense, but I’m not sure how you do it without blowing up your game in the process. I can’t imagine a merge alliance being cool with losing a vote and leaving everyone stuck behind to bear the risk. I guess I could also see a rare scenario in which you're down to you and one other alliance member with one idol between you and instead of going with a 50/50 guess of playing right or losing in a vote split anyway you guarantee an idol block and force the majority to turn on each other or take one of them out.

It’s my understanding (someone correct me if I’m wrong) that game show rules require them to have the major twists written out in advance, although they can write themselves in some wiggle room, but they’re generally bound to what they wrote. Twists, merges, tribe reshuffles, final 2/3, jury size, etc are all documented somewhere in some form pregame (this event happens in this form at this time/when this condition is reached) so that if there’s a lawsuit they can protect themselves. (“Jeff/Production kept reshuffling the tribes until I was away from all my allies and then I lost!”) To that end, stuff that says random is random, and there have been multiple instances of random swaps and stuff creating deeply unfair and/or uninteresting situations, but they’re stuck with it.

STAC Goat posted:I did not know that. Ok, that's different. I am not a smart man. I think it got lost in the chaos of the first episode and wasn’t really important enough to include but the very first “twist” was that a lot of the contestants, if you watch some of their pre-game video, had been duped into thinking the tribes were men vs. women. They segregated them all by gender a couple days and sent them out on the boats together — during the pregame stuff they seemed to know who was playing from their own gender then not the other. There was a lot of day zero personal strategizing about potential alliances and early targets that went out the window when the new balanced tribes were revealed.

The Heroes vs. Villains tribe setup makes more sense if you look at the tribes as "Team of Survivor Players Jeff Thinks are Hot" vs. "Team of Survivor Players Jeff Thinks Make Good TV But Are Not Hot" and then for balance reasons production made him swap Parvati and Rob with Cirie and Rupert.

Fast Luck posted:That Sandra blindside was amazing. It only flitted across my mind briefly as a possibility and I never expected it, and I like the editing call to not tip the viewer off that it was an option Denise was considering. 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?

I think a fun twist for upcoming seasons would be an open, known rule that only one hidden immunity idol can be played per tribal, it's whoever yells it first, and the idol can be played at any point once Tribal Council officially starts (where it would function as a regular immunity necklace and prevent people from writing your name down) up until the normal time after the votes are cast (where it can block cast votes). Do you play early? Do you play late? Do you know who else actually has one? Do you risk waiting for the votes for a huge move or blow up the vote early and maybe get an alliance member in trouble? Who knows!

One player is going to win two million dollars. One player (so far) is going to get a roughly two and half all expenses paid resort vacation. The rest of the players are going to starve on an island for nothing. If you don’t think you have a shot at being the winner, Option 2 seems like a real smart move. I remember seeing this years ago and have no memory of who said it or when it was said, but at some point someone affiliated with the show said if you don’t win, the second best place to be in is the first person voted out.

I would agree with you except for the fact that this week people got real fired up about how she had to go because (paraphrasing) “she was definitely going to win” (I think Sophie said that?) which leads me to believe a lot of poo poo is happening out there we’re not seeing because based on what we’ve been shown that doesn’t make sense.

I'm generally not a fan of it, but I think I'd be a lot more interested in it as a concept if everyone was stuck on their own mini EoE island and couldn't interact with anyone else other than monitored contact during the jury trips to/from tribal council. It'd be a ton of work since everyone would have to have access to the same advantages/hidden tokens/puzzles If they really want to get back to the idea of surviving, see what a month of isolation where you're fully responsible for your own food would probably result in a lot more flag raises.

Lampsacus posted:I feel it would be a cool moment if they kept EoE an absolute secret from the main players still in the game only to reveal these hungry exiles at the merge as some rabid revenge tribe. And drop like three of them back in the game through a challenge then board up EoE. That’s basically what happened on Pearl Islands and it was pretty underwhelming to be honest

JOHN CENA posted:I think that's the retooled Friday the 13th reality show that was pitched to CW and ITV about 5 years back? I dunno how accurate this is going to end up being, but this article raises some points towards the end that make this whole thing sound very weird. Essentially, that there's no game other than doing the challenges for the money pot, (No quizzes, no guessing who the killer is) and that the "Killer"/Producers just pick who goes home every week out of the entire pool of contestants except the person who won immunity and there's no logic or explanation to how it's chosen. https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2020/07/killer-camp-cw-review/ quote:So how are the bottom two decided? Who decides which contestant to kill off and eliminate from the competition? And why the heck doesn’t the show tell us this? Bummer if true, since the premise sounds like good fun.

Nihonniboku posted:Hmm? I don't agree that she ever could have won (too many people on the jury hated her), but she played Tony, not the other way around. She got him to blow up multiple alliances, for her or because of her, and made it to the final 3. If I remember correctly, maybe I'm wrong, but didn't she not tell anyone that she was a lawyer? Isn't that why Tony was so focused on her living on a llama farm? I really don't fault Kass for engineering Cagayan's final 3 because if everyone had functioning brains she should have been a lock for final two no matter who won immunity. I also think a Woo vs. Kass vote would have been a lot tighter than people think. Aerox fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Assuming what Jeff said is true, I'm pretty amped. The big standout to me was it sounds like they've realized the theme/gimmick poo poo was killing the game. I think a lot of problems in modern Survivor are related to them trying to hamfist poo poo into a stupid theme or season title when it's totally unnecessary. I also love that it sounds like (and I'm hoping I don't misread this) that idols and advantages aren't just going to be tossed in bushes and people are just going to stumble over them but that there's going to be some real decision-making behind getting one and/or using it. Those two things alone are enough to get my interest way up, and I also am pretty into the cast at least based on cursory glances. We'll see, but I'm pretty optimistic!
