Survivor

[Survivor]

Who else is a fan? I really love this show. Its so interesting to see what strategy and survival techniques come out of every passing week. The fact that it is both brains and survival skills, along with physical prowess due to the challenges, it is very interesting to watch.

[Twig]

I'm a fan of the show. =D

 

JT was an idiot. I'm starting to wonder if he even watched the previous season.

They couldn't have. The Heroes vs Villains season was filming while Russel's season was on TV. I actually applaud him for trying to make a great move. If it would have worked, Candice and Amanda would be less likely to flip and he would be leading a dominant alliance.

 

Either way, this season is defiantly one of the best.

IMO, the Heroes are idiots.

 

I think they should stop it with the idols... One is getting played every week and it is getting annoying.

[Twig]

Amanda should have kept the clue for the idol. Are there any rules against stealing the clue from another person?

 

Yeah, the idols are annoying.

You can't steal idols, but they said nothing about clues in the official rules.

[Survivor]

See, I honestly think that most of the good people have already been eliminated (excluding Sandra, Russell, and Parvarti). Cirie, Tom, Stephenie, and Boston Rob are the best of them all. I honestly think that its just because they're threats.

 

And you are right, JT is stupid. He should not have given an idol to Russell based off of a guess. There was no proof other than women over on the Villains.

 

Parvarti controlls this game right now, well, with Russell. If Parvarti and Russell split, people will go with Parvarti. She is a much more likeable person and she is smarter. Russell just manages to get women on his side and find idols. That's how he wins.

 

I still can't get over how Parvarti played those two idols for Jerri and Sandra. SMART MOVE.

[JadenxAtemYAOI]

My favorite character, Russell. He is the Will and Mike Boogie of Survivor. Everyone knew that he would go in lying and Sandra is the only smart one to not trust him. Russell should have been searching sooner instead of looking for the clues.

This is how I would use an idol. I'd find an idol. Pull in someone I act to be friend to. Say "I'll give you the idol if you do my chores" then go to the biggest group and say "hey that person has the idol, we have to flush it out"

[Survivor]

Well, Parvarti and Danielle stick with him because by themselves they don't seem like much of a threat. He's an extra vote and he's insane enough to give two idols away. Otherwise, Russell is just a wackjob who finds idols.

[Zeroshot]

I had a really long post about this season of Survivor, but then a storm knocked out my power for a while, so as a summary, everyone left on the show except Sandra sucks.

 

Also, just for fun

I like your choices, but you are forgetting Cirie and Boston Rob, and of course Jerri. Cirie is a brilliant hero. If you have watched Panama, you will see the way her mind works. She managed to keep Aras in the game by making three different alliances and tricking them all. She managed to get the invincible Courtney out. Then in Micronesia, she was the swing vote on the villains tribe and did well all up until the final 3. The similarities between the two games were that both times that she was eliminated, it was because a sour bimbo turned on her.

 

Jerri is the Survivor Villianess. She is just so mean and ruthless. Despite the fact that she has never played very strategically, you have to point out the fact that Survivor was about Survivor in Season 2, not specifically plotting. Only after all-stars did the social aspect of the game become more prevolent. But anyway, Jerri definatly belongs there. Boston Rob, just watch All-Stars.

 

I don't think Sierra would work as a Villain, and it seems like all of your picks are from seasons more recent, excluding 4 from seasons 1 and 7.

My bases for setting my list up was based on my favorites, relatively.

I tried to stay away from threepeats, unless they were needed, like Cesternino and Hatch.

 

I hate Cirie. She's not Cirie to me, she's Fat Parvati. She didn't deserve to be in Micronesia, she didn't manage to keep Aras in line, Aras handled himself. And invincable Courtney? I haven't seen Exile in a long time, but didn't everybody (especially Shane) hate Courtney? Since Terry was an immunity whore, of course Courtney would be the first to go. No sour bimbo turned on her, Danielle beat her in a fire building challenge. After she managed to get Terry to tie her, Terry making the only possible choice. If the Sour Bimbo didn't turn on her, Danielle would have had to vote herself off, or tell Terry to, which would be stupid.

 

Jerri didn't do anything except jabroni in Australlia, then got voted out really early in All Stars if I recall. Her dispute with Colby is the only thing that earned her a spot in all stars, otherwise she's just like all the annoying and naive females on the show. Jerri was also the shows very first Recruit, which makes her suck. Sandra is the new Jerri.

 

I loved Boston Rob in Marqueses, but he didn't make Jury. In all stars, he turned into an ass. Maybe it's just me for liking Cesternino and Lex, but Rob was a bully to everyone in All Stars. Plus, unless they were really amazing (Like Hatch for instance) I don't like winners. Rob never got the amazing factor of winning, he married the winner.

I will say, I liked him in HvV, but if that hadn't aired, I would have never wanted to see Rob again. He's a Casual Veiwer's idol.

 

I consider the social aspect really affecting the game in seasons 11-20.

By my logic I have 15 out of about 37 or 38 from oldschool seasons. I set Sierra as a villain for 2 reasons; 1 being I love Sierra, and she's not a Hero and 2, she was hated by her entire tribe, even though it was for no reasons.

 

Also, If you'd notice, All Stars was all oldschool seasons, obviously. FvF was all new wave(S9-15), so technically, Season 20 should have only used players from seasons 17-19, or new wave players, so that's why most of my picks are from more recent seasons.

[Survivor]

Cirie managed to form an alliance with Courtney and Terry to vote out Aras. She also formed an alliance with Shane to vote out Danielle. Then, She formed an alliance with Aras and Danielle to vote out Courtney, who no one suspected of being voted out. She stayed with the Aras and Danielle alliance and got rid of Courtney, much to everyone's surprise. Then, at the final 4, when Terry (GOD OF IMMUNITY) finally lost, Danielle decided to switch with him and get Cirie off. By Sour Bimbo, I mean DANIELLE.

 

In Micronesia, Cirie managed to get Yau-Man, a huge threat, off as the Favorites second elimination! Then, after switching, she managed to get a huge physical threat, Joel, out by convincing the majority of her tribe. Then, by sticking with Ozzy and Amanda, she voted out two more fans, and then "Stab you in your throat" Ami, before she could get to the merge.

 

Then, after the merge, she formed an all women's alliance, which succeeded in eliminating Ozzy, Jason, and Erik. Heck, I'll even throw James in there too. Then, her original plan with Amanda and Parvarti worked, and Natalie was voted off. If it weren't for James leaving due to injury, Cirie would have been a member of the final 3 and most likely won due to her favorability towards other contestants. Amanda (jabroni), however, decided to take out Cirie, most likely for a stab due to Cirie's trickery involved with Ozzy.

 

Cirie deserved to be there. Also, remember in Exile Island when Cirie and her other Casaya friend were targeted due to their low athletic ability? At tribal council, the other woman talked about how pissed she would be, while Cirie put on a sob-fest. Who would you keep in the game, Cirie or the pissy woman? After that, Cirie helped in a challenge by actually using her weight to sit on people when fighting. People did not view her as a threat or someone that would bring the tribe down, and due to her hard-work and her kind attitude, no one even considered voting her off. As such, due to her low physical ability, people kept her around until later, where she could use her intelligence to her advantage and send other threats like Courtney (Jury Threat), and Shane (Physical Threat), home. Happy?

Rupert is my hero~

[Survivor]

I know. Rupert is awesome. He is probably the most popular of all survivors. And he still is. Sadly, he was put onto the losing Heroes Tribe.

[Silent Omega]

Anybody saw today's episode?

 

Thank god Rupert didn't get voted out.

[Aequitas]

Russel is nuts. But at least he is entertaining to some, including me.

[Twig]

Anybody saw today's episode?

 

Thank god Rupert didn't get voted out.

 

I'm still watching. I just saw Candace voted out, which I don't mind.

 

I'll be done in twenty minutes.

[aderolee]

Bringing it to Canada would be cool.. but maybe if they kept it somewhere warmer. What would they do in all that snow. They would be tired or cold to do anything but I think they should get Canadian contestants.
