I haven't watched the early seasons in years but the look back on Borneo and Australia was both hilarious and interesting. I'd never thought of the idea that Sean was faking his alphabet strategy for the cameras so it was really cool to hear that kind of fresh perspective on it. I'm pretty much planning on getting them all now.

I appreciate them putting all the assholes in one tribe so I only have to be bothered by them for 1/3rd of an episode.

SalTheBard posted:Has anyone been listening to "The Evolution of Strategy" podcast series on RHAP? I'm almost done with Borneo and I found it really interesting look back at the series. Are any of the other seasons worth getting? I'm tempted just to spend the $20 and get the whole first season. I'm just about up to the end of Africa and there are so many seasons/players/,moments I can't wait for them to cover. It's a really great series and now I want to go and rewatch 29 seasons of Survivor

The only exciting thing in SJDR pre-merge was Drew's boot but the final run of episodes were ace. Natalie's play was really exciting to watch (the Baylor blindside was genius) and went a long way to redeem the season in my view.

STAC Goat posted:Speaking of Corinne I'm binging Gabon and I was just wondering if I was alone in how much I dislike the "We Love Marcus" alliance. They're not totally outwardly the biggest villains. Corinne is kind of crazy mean but Randy and Ace are much more obvious bastards not to mention clowns like GC. But Charlie is such a sycophant and creeper and Marcus just comes off arrogant and smug to me. And then I read a Marcus exit interview and he just sounds like such a deluded, up his rear end hypocrite to me. There's this really weird and off putting thing about Marcus, Charlie, and Corinne. I'm really, really enjoying watching their downfall. And I'm just wondering if it's just me. There's a reason that Matty gif is used so much on the internet

Why not make up a more plausible story like they had the option for food or flint? Thing is their lie would have been uncovered the first time tribes had a chance to interact. Joaquin is a glorious idiot and So shoulda just picked up the big bag and walked off with it then tattled on Joaquin.

Why are people so down on Cook Islands? Yul was likeable, Ozzy's douchey tendencies were being hidden by the edit and the Aitu 4 did a mega underdog Pagonging. What's the down side?

When I started watching Survivor a couple years ago the huge consensus in the current thread was that Cook Islands was the best season. Weird how much opinion shifts in a couple of years.

A Survivor Worlds Apart player famous for: - Sitting by the fire! - Eating rice! - Listening to other people! - Not being in challenges! - ...Staring into space? - Not having a single confessional after two episodes! Oh who am I kidding? This girl is a non-entity. In fact, she's so much of a non-entity you didn't even realise that the girl in that pic is just one I found on the internet, it's not even Kelly!

Spatula City posted:That was beautiful. And surprising, because I though it'd be Shirin. But I never really warmed up to Max, although I never hated him. Can't believe I ever thought he was a contender, wow. And Shirin is SO SCREWED. It's hilarious also because Carolyn and Jenn both also deeply love Survivor, but they're not gigantic spergs about it. Nah, Kelly should be the one gone next week. Shirin's not got any allies left so she can be reeled back in but there's no way you risk letting Kelly get back to the Blue Collars at the merge.

Piell posted:Man, No Collar is in a good spot coming up. They've got a solid foursome, while white collar and blue collar are both split. Since they've got one member of each tribe (Carolyn and Kelly), it would be easy for them to throw their weight to either side and come up with an instant numbers advantage. With Tyler on the outs on Escameca I expect he'll join up with Carolyn again post-merge and go with No Collar. Then it's just gonna come down to whether they can get Shirin back or lure Sierra over. Yeah, No Collar look to be holding control of the game for the moment.

There's nothing better than a great immunity play, this episode ruled. I really want Joe/Jenn/Hali to ride the game out to the end but I've got no idea how they could make that happen. I also really like how Tyler handled himself as the swing vote, he looks like he's having so much fun playing the game (and maybe he's getting kinda hot?)

Sand Monster posted:We never saw anything to indicate he didn't get along with his tribe, and he decided to jump ship to be at the absolute bottom of another alliance. It's an infuriating play. In fairness, he has to know that he's at the bottom of the No Collars so there's not a whole lot he could do. At least being on the bottom of a bigger alliance gives him more room to maneuver.

Jenn is a hero and Carolyn and Sierra rule and everybody but Hali is an actual presence it's fantastic If they're not trusting Will then a vote split strategy is too risky, cause then Will just needs to vote with the No Collars for them to win the vote with 5.

ApplesandOranges posted:Rodney might not even need to wait til F7; he could easily get Sierra to join them in removing Dan (who's pretty much just latching onto Mike at this point) and outnumber them 5-4. Then even if Jenn joins up with Mike it's still a 4-4 tie, and it's just a matter of which side plays their idols more carefully. The only problem is that it's incredibly likely Tyler/Carolyn would flip on at him before the end, especially if Dan is still in the game. Why risk going F3 with an rear end in a top hat who's made moves when you could go with an rear end in a top hat who hasn't?

She went from being ostracized by her original tribe and sure to be the next to go, somehow making it by the skin of her teeth every week, and made it to the final three (of a final (terrible) 2 season). The second thing was Kathy bringing down the Rotu 4, I think that covers your first part

blue squares posted:at least Will is a really nice guy  This episode was somehow awesome and terrible at the same time. Of the main alliance 5 of them are horrible people and the other is Tyler, who is at best just there. At this point the only outcome that could make me happy is a Shirin win and I don't see how that happens when so many eventual jurors already hate her.

Should I go back and watch it now that it's over and I can suffer through it all relatively quickly? While the cast aren't memorable, the post-merge was much better than the pre-merge. The game wasn't predictable, one player in particular used some interesting strategy and the winner was not objectionable in the slightest.

Nihonniboku posted:The winner was the best deserving of the three, yes. That was a relief at least. Regarding the winner's strategy though I feel like she played an under the radar game, and won as the lesser of 3 evils. No way can you call her an under the radar player. She should have been top of the chopping block after Jeremy got booted but she somehow managed to wriggle her way into become the #1 ally of the new power, she undermined her alliance with the Alec vote without any of them realising, she was the mastermind behind Jon's blindside, she found an idol and used it to great effect and she survived the final 4 vote besides being the obvious winner. She also got Jon Rocker booted without even being on his tribe. From the final 8 onwards she was clearly the best player going.

Ten Wasted Dollars posted:I also don't see Shirin making it past the next episode, honestly. Unless she wins immunity (which doesn't seem too likely), the votes will be split between her and Mike. I think Mike is self-aware enough to realize that he is on the outs ( by Jenn's account he has basically been outcasted by the alliance that he was formerly the figurehead of ) and he'll play the idol which will send Shirin home. At this point, Shirin seems to have rubbed too many people the wrong way (Dan/Will/Carolyn/Tyler) and apparently (according to Jenn) Sierra is unwilling to work with her because she knows that she couldn't win against Shirin in the FTC. I don't think that there are enough people willing to work with her for her to make it to the end. Most likely Dan is gone next week. The double vote is just not an advantage you leave in the game and after this vote the core 4 will be able to keep the majority. All Tyler/Carolyn need to do is get their guys on board with voting Dan and then convince Dan and Sierra that they're sticking with the plan to vote out Mike/Shirin.
