I just read the bio post (it's very good) and am curious: why does everyone think Tony has like a negative chance to make it very far? Does everyone just hate him or something? I don't follow stuff that happens outside the game really.

I think EoE this season is fine... unless He Who Has No Name wins after a stay on juryjury island. Then it will be perfect.

Anyone watch Episode 0?

it's a general highlight episode, not focused on the players for this season, so it's pretty good since it's not forced highlights

Has the ratings been good the last couple seasons?

I guess it depends on your definition of good but it's doing ok

Here's the week before the finale from last season





I picked the week before because finales always get a boost but it was still behind Masked Singer since that was their finale too (also because it owns).

they have definitely done team endurance challenges in the past but gosh it's been a while since the last one because I can't actually remember when it was

I feel like one of the seasons with Brandon Hantz had one though.

Way too early prediction based entirely off gut feel: someone from the "Free Agent Alliance" (Yul, Sophie, Nick, Wendell) is going to win.

I'm actually a little interested in the fire tokens now. Are there only 20 (or 22 if you can use the ones on the skull) for the season or will more get added? If someone buys something with them are they gone forever or do they get put back in the game somehow like idols?

Also if I was on EoE early I feel like one token for a pizza would be really hard to pass up after a few days

STAC Goat posted:

The token thing is really interesting now that we know they can be passed down from the eliminated players. It means not only can a really good social player net up a stash to use on an advantage but it means if you're picking off an alliance or group of outcasts you could be superpowering the last survivor.

Of course there's also the flip side that if you're the last person with no friends you gotta give someone you don't want to a gift.

I wonder what happens if someone with multiple tokens gets voted out. If you've got 4 tokens does someone get a huge cash in or do they just get reduced to 1?

I believe there was something that said you have to gift any of your tokens so I would assume if you have more than one then they all go to someone else. I don't remember if it implies that they all have to go to the same person so maybe you could split them as well.

Also, Tyson rules

Honestly, I think Adam's biggest blunder is not talking to Denise about it. We've seen Adam talk Denise out of potential mistakes. We saw him discussing with Denise about putting the target on Parvati. What we didn't see is him telling Denise that he's thinking of talking to Ethan and Rob about it, because she could have talked him down.

That might also be a signal that Adam is definitely playing a bit of a selfish game too. Denise has to recognize that at the end of the day, he could cut her.

I think that's exactly what it was. He didn't tell her specifically because he didn't want her to be in on it

Nick did it because he knew Tyson's vote was on him and wanted insurance in case of an idol play.

Tyson's comment about firewood was at the end of last week's episode.

I'm ok with them not showing any edge stuff this week because of how much was going on in the actual game.

But with sports being canceled soon CBS needs to step it up and give us longer episodes

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.

I think it was a move designed to win the game not a move designed to make it easier to get to the end.

They flipped the chronological order of the tribal councils because it was so shocking. Sandra made a pretty bad move and deserved to go, but I still really hate the fire tokens. They are becoming the stars of the show instead of the stars of the show.

You're probably just thinking of the limited power idol Sandra bought from Natalie, which I believe is the only idol bought that way so far. Everything else has been an advantage of some sort.

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


Clear as mud.

It's perfectly clear but it's not applicable to this question because it's for a situation where all the votes went to someone with an idol, but there are people on the tribe who did not use one and just had no votes against them (ie: what happened to Cirie). In the situation we're trying to figure out, everyone would still have immunity because it explicitly states that immunity transfers over to the next vote.

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.

Wouldn't shock me if they just test everyone who's going to be going out there. Not like they have to worry much about it spreading to them from someone else at that point.

Taste is individual, I dislike most of them. :shrug: Ben in particular is grating on my last nerve this season. What an unlikeable dipshit.

It’s possible someone could win me over eventually. Jeremy could make a few cool plays and get me on his side. But it sure feels like we watched a bunch of the most fun players disappear in three episodes.

A final eight of Nick/Michele/Sophie/Ben/Wendell/Adam/Sarah/Kim feels like a possibility and holy poo poo what a letdown given who we started the season out with. Hopefully at least some of Jeremy/Tony/Denise/Yul can hang around a while.

Yul feels like he's been floating under a lot of radars and the last episode or two have made it seem like people view Wendell as a bigger threat than him.

I agree that Tony probably won't make F8, he's so sketchy that he's gonna be a fast out because nobody feels like they can trust him.

Ben feels like a f3 goat right now unless he's against people that everyone despises.

Kim as well tbh but at least she has an idol to make a play with maybe.

And don't forget we're gonna get an EoE person in the final 8 almost assuredly.

Also I wonder if Sandra isn't just gonna peace out once we get to the point where the people on EoE are jury members.
