this season is really good, it's definitely helped by the fact that all winners means most of the camp is wise to everyone's maneuvering. Lot of high level play here. Reminds me a lot of second chances in the best ways.

Even if international survivor might logistically be difficult, there should definitely be an America vs Canada season now that Canadians can be on

i can't see ben getting any votes against any of the players left in a final tribal council situation. if you ever need to read the room on how the jury feels, pay attention to who they've been gifting their fire tokens to as they've been voted out. i don't believe ben has gotten a single one from this method.

the only situation i see nick winning is in a final three with sarah and ben because of a) ben's horrendous jury management and b) sarah's very clear lack of control in the game being exposed regularly at tribal council. even then its tough. if he takes michele to the end, I think michele beats him because of stronger relationships. same for denise plus she has moves she can point to in this game. he cannot beat tony or jeremy at all. jeremy i think legitimately is the biggest threat to win. he's been on the right side of the vote every time except for when sandra went home, and all these times he's been exposed he still has not been the one booted out. its wild that he probably isn't going next episode either. tony has also been on the right side of the vote every time but im starting to think hes painting too big a target on himself and i dont know if he can maintain this immunity streak.

we also get only a snippet of actual tribal council so if what we saw was at the end of 45 minutes to 2 hours of tony Tonying and everyone running around whispering i'd probably be fed up and snippy too

Khanstant posted:Jeremy's chances don't look so good then, if he's up there with Tony, Tony saved him too much to get credit for much after that. also because everyone else recognizes he probably doesn't contend for any jury votes. he's burned bridges with rob, adam, tyson, danni, ethan...i don't know what allies he possible has. maybe sarah if she gets the boot? the guy hasnt even gotten any fire tokens from any of the voted out players, which i still contend is a big sign as to who the jury is leaning toward (in which case, michele and denise looking like a big threats here)

Zesty posted:As final 7s go, I don't hate what we have here at all. It could have had Danni, Amber, Kim... really under the radar players who you would expect to win an All-Star. i think michele could beat tony if its them and ben in the final 3. comes down to jury speeches at that point. remember she was able to convince wendell to vote out yul when they were already in an alliance together and she was completely on the outs tribe wise. i wouldn't discount her yet.

thinking about probst's comments that this is "the best season ever" and knowing exactly what type of seasons/players he tends to push/get excited for, i really hope we're not looking at an edge returnee going on a run and winning because they were a challenge beast or THEY PUSHED THEMSELVES TO THEIR ABSOLUTE LIMIT

I mean I'm fairly sure a large part of the reason the Edge was used this season was so more of the popular Survivor players would have more tv time/a chance to still win and the show retain ratings so viewers aren't tuning out when Boston Rob/Parvati/etc are voted out early

This was a real fun season. Definitely the best season of the 40s so far. If we were to rank the best season of each generation of survivor where do you guys line em up? S1-9: Pearl Islands S10-19: Micronesia S20-29: Cagayan S30-39: Second Chance (MvGX was a very close 2nd here)

if you make the jury you have the right to vote however you want to vote. michele was just in a real unenviable position tonight. she was facing two people that were perceived as driving the action for the merge and onward. She had a great story and a really good path to the end and she still played her heart out to get there, but for this season with this cast it wasnt going to be enough to earn votes, especially a jury of people that have all won the game before. I think one thing that has happened for her this season though, ironically, is it has done a lot to repair her winner image from Kaoh Rong.

when is the last time we had a no-goat final three like this though where everyone sitting there had a good argument for a winner's resume? the closest i can think of prior to this is maybe ghost island?

 >>We are bringing back Awful Survivor after a three year hiatus!<< If you guys have ever wanted to see how you'd fare, this is a great opportunity, and also a real fun experience! Cash prizes, free food, new friendships, there's much to be had playing this game! We're accepting signups now, expecting to launch at the beginning of June.

Philthy posted:Tony didn't dominate anything. He ended up in a good alliance. That's it. He made one single move to vote someone out, and it wasn't even a good one. He simply did it because he fell into the usual "I heard my name come up from you, so now I must be bull-headed and vote you out." which almost lost his trust with Sarah. He wasn't voted against because he wasn't a threat to anyone. He was the jester, not the player. He made a single good call about Natalie possibly having an idol and it was the only time anything he brought up made any sense and was right about. He was blown off because, again, no one took him seriously of felt he was a legitimate player. 90% of Tony was his alliance. source you're quotes

2017 Australian Survivor was a great season. What a great cast. Without question a top 5 survivor season (even if the non elimination episodes are a bit tedious, they are good for fleshing out the relationships and story telling.) The US edition needs to import Luke asap.

I would say you could argue from Season 1 to Vanuatu the seasons were fairly boiler plate, some twists here and there, but you knew what you were getting with your old school survivor experience. You'd see similar casting archetypes in these seasons and a lot of the episodes had an equal focus on the survival aspect along with the game itself. From Panama to I'd say Samoa they'd introduce more weird twists and stunts to be the hook of the show, from Panama having FOUR TRIBES (for one episode), Palau having the Largest Cast Ever (with two people booted before they even got to tribal camp), etc. Guatemala introduced the hidden immunity idol which in a sense kind of killed the focus on the Strangers Surviving and Building A Commune In The Wilderness aspect of the show that was so present in the older seasons. The seasons would still enjoy the flavor of wherever they were filming and you still got to see a lot of the little moments of people doing lots of non game things here, but it kind of all went away after Samoa and its heavy, *heavy* focus on the Hidden Immunity Idol. They did their second all-stars season for season 20, and this marked the biggest shift in the series as now every season seemingly would have weird gimmicks that would be the forefront focus of the season and they'd rely more than ever on either stunt casting or bringing back former players. This is the time period of "a mix of every day strangers from different walks of life coming to live together" coming to a complete end. Outside of brief respites in Cambodia and the Philippines, they started to hit a loop of only filming in either Samoa, Nicaragua, or Fiji here, in all very similar looking locations. We've never gotten off of this train and now returning players feels like the norm rather than a novelty we'd only see every 3-5 years.
