Pearl Islands is probably your best bet overall

A few years ago I did a full rewatch (or first watch in many cases) from season 1 and I was constantly blown away when I'd Kramer in and be like "augh the dingus with the big mouth keeps loving up the plan for the alliance with the shrimpy guy and the fake cop" and someone would immediately be like "oh you mean Jantara and Cletus and Pibb, yeah on a podcast she said the producers encouraged them all to try the pain box to get tested and put everyone on edge"

The night they were booted from the island, they appeared as guests on Letterman, and the next morning they'd appear on the CBS Morning Show. They'd often even go on a bit of a press tour, or would appear in tabloids. Many would get guest parts on TV shows, or cameos (and even starring roles) in movies, season 1's Ramona was even one of the hosts of MTV's The Challenge the year after she played, specifically because she was on Survivor, even though she was the 4th boot. It was easy to remember the players' names back then. In modern Survivor, because of the waning cultural influence, and because of the modern editing, by the end of a season, unless they were a particularly memorable player, I can barely even remember anybody who was voted out prior to the merge.

They got shittier over time, too. They did start out bad with celebrity guest hosts, but when Probst took over it was okay and fun for a while. Everybody got at least one turn to speak, etc. It just devolved over the years until half of the cast of Caramoan wasn't even invited onstage.

The current finale "reunion" format is way worse than the old way. Nobody able to reflect on things they saw on the finished TV show or what they've been up to since the show filmed, the people who just lost the game usually pretty rattled because they, you know, just lost the game...

Well, that was fun getting a tribe other than Yanu for a change. I think Jem was pretty clumsy at the game. Her uncomfortable chats with some of the guys probably is what tipped Maria to letting her go. Even her saying she was going to go idol hunt, it was ballsy and it worked and got her the idol but it seemed kind of weird to do. Venus seemed pretty awkward too in her interaction with Hunter. Breaching strategy chat sometimes is just hard. It seems like Q was successful with it though with people he only just met! Interesting call for Maria not to tell Mo about the vote… I feel like you wanna do that….

Really astute of Maria to 1. Immediately use the extra vote so it’s not folded over a million times and obviously different from the other votes 2. Vote for the same person twice, in different handwriting, and writing different iterations of the name 3. Use the vote to make a total of six votes, so the only people who absolutely know for a fact that anything was amiss are Ben and Maria Pretty good! mp5 fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Good episode, feels like the season finally put itself into Drive. The producers and editors were probably giddy after that challenge. Things seem really open now going forward too. The vote style change up was good on Maria’s part, not sure it was really worth to play the extra vote though. Was she really hedging that the guys may not vote Jem? Saving it for merge seems like it might have had more value. Teek fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Mar 28, 2024 |

It was funny watching Jem just like stand there with a devilish grin while everyone else on the tribe dug around the tree. That had to be when their collective radar went off that something was wrong. Her subterfuge was fun but it was so satisfying to see it backfire.

Her lying wasn't that strong either. "What? What beware advantage?" She did get around to the direct denials after that but it was a stumble. I feel like so often people either don't just deny directly at all, instead saying something like "How could you even ask that?" or they go "What??" as their initial few replies before getting around to answering. I mean, an honest person can be incredulous and say "what" but it ought to be followed by an "absolutely not" and not a need for the other person to clarify something obvious they just said, as if they haven't all been digging for the beware advantage for days. "What beware advantage" nah. So if Tim is already suspecting her and then she starts going around saying "so who are you voting for I uhh need to know" that's a tipoff. Even more than that, though, even if they still think Tim had it, we saw Maria telling Charlie that "Jem will stick with us," and if Charlie can then say back, "You know she came to all the men and said she'd vote with us if we gave her a name?" Then it's kind of like, "okay forget it, let's keep Ben." I actually thought Ben was gonna be the one to go and was thinking how unlucky he was since I hadn't seen him do much wrong. Jem earned it more and got it.Teek posted:The vote style change up was good on Maria’s part, not sure it was really worth to play the extra vote though.

Dude, I would burn that extra vote so fast it ain't even funny. You've been on the journey, people either know or suspect you have it, just get rid of it before you do yourself any more harm by having it, especially if it accomplishes what you want that tribal. Edit: and after numbering all those seasons from memory I'm befuddled that Hunter devoted his entire drat garage to making Survivor challenges for kids and can't get the seasons in order. Might scout reddit to see what he got wrong out of curiosity and schadenfreude. You're on my fantasy team, man!

He would be the most faithful of the faithful. In other words, useless. In other words, not getting murdered. In summation, having some claim to the prize pot until he inevitably fails to ascertain the final traitor.

I think my fantasy is donezo, I picked a lot of losers lol. And I'm with om you on using the extra vote, especially these days. My gut tells me the best policy is almost always "use em if ya got em" when it comes to all the trinkets. For every player that did something brilliant with dragging some idol or advantage to the end, there is 3 who went home with one in their pocket, or got themselves targeted or in a bad spot because they had it at all.

I could've gotten 1-21 pretty easily. 22-24 all blend together, I always remember Philippines is 25 for some reason. 26-38 would've been a problem. Also am I just burnt out on this season or was that episode boring as hell? I would normally love a good blindside but it didn't feel very well-developed.
