I’ve been waiting all season for this moment during my Gabon rewatch.

im a big fan of survivor but I struggle watching the seasons past about 35 (not a very unpopular take) but im just laying in bed rn and wishing i could go back to the days when i was grinding prime survivor. Id do anything to go back and watch all the seasons again. Just meeting all these great characters along the way. FUCK SAKE I WOULD DO FUCKING ANYTHING

From an entertainment standpoint, she was surely underedited post-merge which was probably in large part due to her losing that fire challenge. But strategically I would argue she was a solid player and had potential to garner some votes if she made it over Mike! Throughout the post-merge she was usually voting with the majority, several times we saw people come to her to get her vote whenever needed and she was pretty solid in challenges. Besides Nick I think she was genuinely the strongest player in that final four from a deserving of a win standpoint. Would have loved to see her on 50 but hope she can get a return on a future season!

TW: Journey mentioned

> “Permanent Uncertainty” – Castaways marooned in remote Fiji embark upon the Open Era of SURVIVOR and battle to win $1 million. The catchphrase of the season, “permanent uncertainty,” comes into play as soon as the castaways reach the beach and discover that one player must leave to go on a mysterious journey. Then, the first tribal council pits two allies against each other in a dramatic battle of wills, on the two-hour 51st season premiere of SURVIVOR, Wednesday, Sept. 23 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.

​

One of the most authentic displays of guilt I remember in the history of Survivor starred Twila Tanner. Right in the middle of Tribal Council, the contestant labeled as the "villain" demonstrated genuine suffering after having failed Sarge and having used her son's life in a false oath; her anguish was evident and her guilt undeniable. On the opposite side stands Tony Vlachos, who when asked if it weighed on him to have put his daughter's life on the line in his promises, admitted without reservations that he felt no guilt whatsoever and that the sacrifice had been worth it. Although Twila failed to claim the show's grand prize, her time on the reality show left a valuable lesson by showcasing the capacity to recognize and own up to one's mistakes

In Season 33: Millennials v Gen X, all the Millennials were age 31 or below, everyone but Mari in their 20s.

The oldest Gen Z are 29.

Millennials are 30-45.

Gen X is ages 46-60.

Would you be excited for a Gen Z v Millennials season next year?

Would it make sense to have 3 tribes and include Gen X as a third tribe?

Or would you rather have the season be in another few years? In 5 years Gen Z would be 20-35, and Millennials would be 35-50.

I've been rewatching Game Changers recently and couldn't remember if it was revealed who gets targeted if Tavua were to lose an immunity challenge, as they swap again before they ever do. The edit seems to imply Troyzan might idol out Andrea, but they're never really given much focus as a tribe so it's unclear. I tried looking at a few exit interviews but the topic doesn't really seem to be brought up.

Got some late bday gifts from my mother after delving deep into the lore of our beloved game this past year

And I am curious whether their performance on the show was surprising to you, based on what you previously knew of them, or if it was what you expected?

Also curious if you have met any players (after their season has aired), which would likely be more common than knowing them before their appearance.

Thanks!

Does anyone else feel low-key proud that most survivor contestants who branch out to other competitive gaming shows seem to do really well.

For Traitors - Weve had Cirie win, Sandra reach top 5, Carolyn, Steph and Natalie get 7th and 8th places, with Rob and Parv being enetertaining traitors and resching further than they shouldve.

In Big Brother - Weve had Cirie reach top 5, and Dee and Devens cleaning up the house in current season, Luke Toki also won Big Brother AU after playing on Survivor

Million Dollar Island - Weve had Golden god David win with Parv and Rob both getting 4th place

The Challenge - Weve had Chris Underwood, Sarah Lacina, Danny McCray and Desi Williams take out a win with people like Michele, Domenick, Tyson all reaching final episodes

Amazing Race - Rob and Amber came in 2nd

Im probably being biased lol but just let me be

Does anyone else feel like this season was really thrilling and a fun watch. I cared about the majority of the cast, the gameplay was good, there was no bullsh*t unlike 41,42, and 44. And the winner was kinda mid but going back and watching the season again made me realize that the winner was being shown the entire time. Oh and the endgame stretch was great ngl

Heyyy! I recently ordered the Survivor Card Game (do not ask me what I paid I barely found a site that ships to my region LMAO).

I read through the game rules as well as some people’s house rules, and I definitely want to add immunity challenges to the mix, I was just wondering if there’s any printable survivor games that are played on the show? (Let’s go to rocks comps felt too boring to me)

I already have a few endurance comps in mind, printed puzzles, and common competitions like house of cards, cup stacking etc. I was just wondering if there was any true survivor comps that are easy to set up/print out/make by myself.

My friends are diehard fans of survivor so I really wanna do something more true to the show, any suggestions welcome. Thank youuu

First off, I did try searching, but understandably searching WAR brings up Winners At War, and searching wins is kind of meaningless.

So if you don't know, WAR can mean wins above replacement. Basically measures how good a player is against a league average player.

I just finished season 25, and Abi got me thinking about this. Whatever you think about her as a character, I think it's pretty clear that she would have a low WAR score. Had no chance of winning, and actually hurt the chances of people she was aligned with. Basically, she hurts her chances and YOUR chances of you align with her.

Is there a generally accepted metric for this I'm survivor? Players who you don't want to play with strategically, because you have better chances with basically a cardboard cutoff who's just average at the game?

(I only saw her on session 25, I read she came back, if her other season changes the conversation, I'm only referring to her game in 25)

Rizo trying to prepare for a possible fire showdown with Jonathan…

Meanwhile Joe: “What the hell is this guy doing?”

You don’t even need dialogue. That face says it all 😂

I’ve watched the seasons in an odd order, starting with 49 as my first season, bouncing around a few OG seasons of the 50 cast before it aired, then eventually starting back from the beginning in order. We just finished South Pacific, and I was excited to see where Coach and Ozzy’s beef came from that they alluded to on 50. Specifically, Coach made it seem like Ozzy was the reason he lost. Is that just Coach being delusional, shifting the reason he (rightfully) lost off of himself? Or did something actually happen?

In yesterday's Survivor Finland Season 10 premiere, Vivi Wahlström was the first to be eliminated in consecutive seasons (Season 9 BvW and Season 10 Redemption). Could this be worse than Francesca Hogi?

Talked a lil season 50, got my favorite haiku signed. Coach is everthing I expected and more. His presence on stage just elevated the whole experience for me.

Thats always bothered me. You KNEW Malcolm was voting for Denise, so Johnathans vote made it obvious there would be at least two votes for Denise. Its like they sort of unintentionally spoiled the winner.

But then again who tf thought Abi was gonna vote for Denise.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I havnt watched every season yet, people sometimes big them selves up and claim they did more then they actually did but is their any rule about flat out lying?
If no one from your original tribe was on the jury could you not claim you blindsided every time and played a fantastic game

Fun video and series!
