Survivor 29 : San Juan del Sur (Blood vs Water II) Discussion Thread

[Macie Lightfoot]

2 hours of the actual final episode, and then the reunion after makes it 3 hours (but the reunions are always awful)

[Samm]

Oh ok ty

[armand.kay]

The reunions are so bad lol

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfaooooooo @officialsurvivor_cbs (the show's Instagram account) spoiled the final three, deleted the pic, and reuploaded it with the spoiler part taken out :joker:

http://instagram.com/p/wugAKUuSNR/

this is the reuploaded pic, the original's in spoiler tags for those who are interested.

http://imgur.com/rmHFlkO

the only name tags that aren't in that group are Jaclyn, Missy, and Natalie, so they're the final three.

finale in 30 minutes!

[Calderyon]

Very glad that this ends tonight. Hopefully this is the last season of Blood vs Water.

[Macie Lightfoot]

dying @ Jaclyn "since the merge people loved me and Jon"

[Macie Lightfoot]

jesus this finale format SUCKS and Jeff trying to bring The Jeff Probst Show back is so annoying and cringe. :rolleyes: and he says that we don't have enough time for the theme song and the Rites of Passage

and on a different note, I don't get the hate for this season at all and think it's pretty much on par with Cagayan :3

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao that advantage was cheap as ****

[Udanax]

jesus this finale format SUCKS and Jeff trying to bring The Jeff Probst Show back is so annoying and cringe. :rolleyes: and he says that we don't have enough time for the theme song and the Rites of Passage

and on a different note, I don't get the hate for this season at all and think it's pretty much on par with Cagayan :3

I actually think this season is better than Cagayan =o like yes the Cagayan pre-merge was great but the pre-merge was basically the Spencer & Tony show and no thx @ that.

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooo omfg Natalie just slayed beyond belief.

amazing jury management too.

[Udanax]

avenging nadiya <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

Natalie avenging Nadiya AND Jeremy (never forget what the **** Missy?!) <33333

and LMAO Jaclyn is now the last Coyopa standing how on earth

[Macie Lightfoot]

also I'm loling at Baylor getting idoled out by an idol she was inches away from finding :joker:

[Calderyon]

Wow. That was quite an epic and well played move, i have to say. (Using her idol to Jaclyn and voting with Jaclyn to get rid of Baylor)

I think she just won the game, if she can get to final three.

Goodbye Crybaby Bawler. Very annoying and annoying to watch. Thank god you didn´t win. :wavey:

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Obviously you did the smart thing because I'm still here haha" Jaclyn showing her gratitude toward others as always :joker:

[Udanax]

I still can't get over Natalie idoling out Baylor. It seemed like such a cold thing to do to someone she had been close with for most of the game. It kinda reminded me of Vecepia icing out Kathy.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jaclyn struggling to open the bags omfg I'm dying

[Macie Lightfoot]

AND SHE DIES GOING DOWN THE FIRE POLE I LOVE HER SO MUCH omfg

[Udanax]

all female alliances will always find a way to exist <3

[Calderyon]

So in the end Jaclyn won the last immunity and Keith was voted out by the women, even though Missy and Jaclyn had a chance to blindside Natalie and made their changes stronger. Good for Natalie obviously (cause she is going to win hands down), bad for Missy and Jaclyn (cause they are going finish as the runner ups 2nd and 3rd respectively without much chance to win, since Natalie is there) and worse for Keith who just missed the final and a possible win.

[Udanax]

Did Reed and Missy ever even interact? This is so surreal omg.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Baylor stealing Reed's moment <3333333333

Reed's so ****ing scrump and desperate. How long do you think he practiced that speech in the mirror trying to find an analogy half as legendary as rats and snakes?

[Mokka]

That was the best jury speech I have ever heard!!!!!!!
This has just become one of my favourite seasons ever.

[Udanax]

The thing is I think Reed really did hate Missy lol? Didn't he vote her when Drew as voted out?

Edit: Nvm he voted Julie

[Mokka]

What's not to hate?

[Macie Lightfoot]

The thing is I think Reed really did hate Missy lol? Didn't he vote her when Drew as voted out?

Edit: Nvm he voted Julie

who the **** knows. He's probably still bitter over Missy's #clapback when he called Baylor a brat

[Mokka]

Result!
Natalie Wins
:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

[Calderyon]

Pretty okay jury, most were non-bitter, but Keith was bitter towards Natalie and Reed was very bitter towards Missy. Okay questions, okay speeches, okay everything.

Congratulations to Natalie. Didn´t, don´t and will not never, ever like you, but you deserved to win. Respect.

Next season please. Without any loved ones.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Fantastic season tbh, has been very on point since episode 3 or 4.

[Udanax]

Pretty okay jury, most were non-bitter, but Keith was bitter towards Natalie and Reed was very bitter towards Missy. Okay questions, okay speeches, okay everything.

Congratulations to Natalie. Didn´t, don´t and will not never, ever like you, but you deserved to win. Respect.

Next season please. Without any loved ones.

your hateboner (thx macie) for Natalie is so lol.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Reed is the ****ing epitome of scrump holy cow

[Mokka]

I didn't like Nat or "the twinnies" coming into the game, and I was definitely not their fan during Amazing Race, but I really enjoyed watching her come into her own and have a personality outside of Nadia.

[Macie Lightfoot]

that Reed/Josh segment may have been the worst in reunion history. Even worse than the BR Rules or whatever the ****.

on an unrelated note, Jaclyn/Natalie is easily up there as a top final two with Sandra/Lil and Sandra/Parvati

[Mokka]

So glad the reunion show hasn't been the "Messy and Bailer Show"

[Macie Lightfoot]

yeah but it's the Reed and Josh show WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT

[Macie Lightfoot]

omfg the Worlds Apart promo is just as bad as I imagined

actually no, even worse with no collar

[Calderyon]

So it´s a Leaders/Bosses, Workers and Unemployed season basically.

[Mokka]

Well, at least there isn't a Models group again... Or are they the unemployed?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Probst giving buffs to everyone holy **** he's so desperate for his talk show to come back

My favorite UTR moment of the reunion was Kelley and Dale patting Reed's back after he defended his jury speech :joker: still hating Muffler all this time

[Udanax]

Final season ranking:

Natalie
Jaclyn
Missy
Baylor
Jeremy
Drew
Julie
Keith
Jon
Kelley
Val
Nadiya
Alec
Dale
Reed
Josh
John

[Macie Lightfoot]

of course Udanax forgot Wes, of course :joker:

Natalie (duh, best winner since Sophie at least)
Jaclyn (how the **** is she a Survivor runner up lmfaoooo)
Jon (goofy and fun and perfectly likable)
Dale (crotchety bitter old men <3333 Coyopa's Biggest Fan is still my fave YT video)
Missy (unfairly hated hags <3)
Julie (quitting because Missy was fake as **** <3333 #TrailMixScandal)
Jeremy (funny and engaging narrator but eh doesn't light my world on fire)
Baylor (the most basic human alive)
Val (alol remember when she lied about having two HIIs on Day 5 and still almost stayed?)
Kelley (UTR snarky but nothing gr8 in the grand scheme of things)
Nadiya (would almost certainly be top 3 if she had more time to shine)
Drew (eh I don't like him as much in retrospect, can't decide if he's hilarious douche or just a douche)
Alec (not as spectacular as Alec but I feel pretty similarly)
Wes (what is a Wes)
Keith (eh low-key sexism isn't my bag and Survivor doesn't need another Big Tom)
Josh (sooooooo boring and kinda moralizing and smug)
Reed (holy ****ing **** I didn't think he'd be worse than Josh but god what a desperate, scrump human being)
John (literal trash)

[swinearefine]

I can't think of a better result than Natalie and Jaclyn top 2 :love: this season was overall full of nasty chauvinistic douches so an all-female top 3 is so satisfying. Also **** Missy and Baylor for throwing pity parties all episode. Get over being called a wicked step mom, such a desperate attempt at humiliating someone who was relevant for like 3 episodes. Reed making Jaclyn runner-up and Missy third <333

[swinearefine]

also lmfao @ that make a wish kid at the reunion, that was the most awkward few minutes of Survivor I've seen. and lololol at Missy breaking her leg on it when before they've fired challenge designers for castaways injuring themselves. Jeff needs to stop fantasizing about having his talk show back and just sit the **** down.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Even more embarrassing, this was from ew.com

A little side note that you know about but I don’t know if everyone reads our Q&A on EW.com, but that challenge that she got injured on was created by this kid Austin Russell. He’s an amazing kid that we met through Make a Wish. He came to location and wanted to pitch a challenge that maybe he could get on the show. He pitched all the elements he wanted and it was good. So it’s this 13-year-old kid in Texas creating this little challenge that injures Missy. The whole thing was so beautiful to me because our show is so much about involving our audience and trying to listen to what they want, and here’s this kid who creates the challenge and then the woman breaks her ankle on it.

[swinearefine]

lmao there was a certain beauty to it all. But yeah I said to the people I was watching it with that I would be too scared to do that gigantic rope see-saw thing before Missy even got hurt, no idea how Jeff and co. thought this seemed at all safe.

[Headie]

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! So happy!

Thought it was too good to be true but Natalie totally deserved it :love:

[SoBig]

What a freaking finish!

NATALIE CONGRATS GIRL!!!

[Black Dagger]

What a result :clap1:

[Braden]

The finale was perfect...well I would have liked Keith to leave before Baylor, but it worked out in the grand scheme of things.

Never have all my favourites made the finale of a reality tv show. I was loving life with the prospect of Missy, Jaclyn or Nat winning! :flutter: :love: I will remember this final for a long time, it was brilliant.

The only thing that ruined it was Keith winning reward/immunity and Reed's twisted bitchy last speech, ****ing we at him.

[Braden]

This is probably the worst picture in existence...

~douses myself with bleach~

[Donovan.]

For a guy that physically can't keep his mouth shut, I don't remember Alec saying much post merge. Between that and Wes licking the side of his face while listening to the final three's answers, I didn't know where to look.

Can we just address the fact that Reid said both "the help" and "minority" in his jury speech, like right after each other. I think his speech kinda got away from him a little.

Natalie is probably my favorite winner of anything since Rachel Reilly. Very few times has my fave of a season won.

"These two gayhoos" Jon Rocker, what even does that mean?

Josh and Reed are so desperate to be told how great and interesting they are. Just awful.

Great article worth reading

Brilliant article. Especially the bit about reversing the genders and it basically being Reed who he is describing :laugh:

[Braden]

Did anybody stick up for Missy at the reunion?

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg yes that part had me rolling. Of course the comments are abhorrent as ever saying that the cries for sexism are bull**** :rolleyes:

Missy, like almost every other middle aged mother before her, was pigeonholed by how everyone expects a mom to act and play the game. Moms who play ruthlessly always get a ridiculous amount of blowback and it's bull****. Like, I don't doubt that Missy wasn't all that welcoming to people not in her alliance but she had no reason to entertain Reed's pathetic attempts to ingratiate himself. He just put on a wounded production because he can't possibly fathom that nobody would want to work with him.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Did anybody stick up for Missy at the reunion?

Natalie dragged Reed in this podcast (http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/12/18/survivor-natalie-jaclyn-missy-keith-baylor-san-juan-del-sur/) if it's worth anything

nnn @ nadya's forced smile.

[Jack_]

I enjoyed this season in the end, it was a slow burner but I got into it in the latter weeks. Didn't like it anywhere near as much as Cagayan but it was good

I didn't really have any favourites at any point ever which was the weirdest thing but then I didn't really dislike anyone either, I just enjoyed watching things play out, particularly when it was down to F7-ish. I did start to like Natalie out of nowhere though and after her two moves in the last couple of weeks I was rooting for her to win so was really glad she did! Pretty good final three on the whole but I'd have swapped Jaclyn for Keith if things had gone that way at F4

Roll on February! :D

Can you PM me it please

[Firewire]

Amazing winner to a meh season, even Jeff said they got the casting wrong. It was enjoyable in the end but up until episode 6 it was boring.

[Macie Lightfoot]

the only glaring casting mistakes were John Rocker and Josh/Reed tbh

Ooooooh I'd rewatch that season!
One of my favourites. Enjoy! :wavey:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Also Dale and Kelley were utterly useless

Kelley was hilariously snarky in the only episode she was featured in, and judging by her interviews I chalk it up to being underedited. And Dale's a hilarious and obnoxious curmudgeon <3

[Samm]

ceHlOIDNpXk

lmao

[Donovan.]

Yeah I've definitely posted this before but Dale was so much like the older men of the earlier seasons, that it was fun to watch. Him rooting for Coyopa during that challenge was one of the funniest things in the beginning of the season. And had Kelley made it far, her personality would come across a lot more. The few things of hers that I've seen, have been hilarious.

Even Josh and Reed weren't that bad, until they got this idea that because they're superfans they should be controlling the game. They didnt do that well and they got bitter about it. Maybe I'm just glad that I can say something about them unlike a lot of past survivors.

:suspect::umm2::notimpressed:

Baylor in the company of Survivor Legends and ranked as number #1. Just no.

[Mokka]

OMG she was the worst I had ever scene?? Agreed Calderyon... agreed

[Samm]

^it's fake lol I think :worry:

It's hilarious anyway

[Macie Lightfoot]

OMG she was the worst I had ever scene?? Agreed Calderyon... agreed

scene, indeed.

[Calderyon]

^it's fake lol I think :worry:

It's hilarious anyway

If it´s fake then it´s funny, i agree.

[Udanax]

are people really questioning the authenticity of that pic? like lol

[Udanax]

scene, indeed.

clock the illiterate Baylor haters <3

[Calderyon]

^ Nah, more like the authenticity and justification of her being #1, which she doesn´t deserve in any way.

[Udanax]

jealousy is a disease boo

also Baylor being #1 obviously isn't true and maybe if you looked at the actual article instead of getting indignant over Baylor being on the list you'd see that her arm covers like three sentences of text.

[AarynGriesfan]

People are just jealous that Baylor is #1

[Calderyon]

The photo is quite foggy for me (very hard to see), but yeah, i guess you´re right. It´s fake then.

And i don´t really understand the jealous remark (most overused and untrue implication ever), but hey ho.

[Macie Lightfoot]

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm devastated that ****ing Josh and Reed were invited over Muffler but at least Reed looks uglier than ever xx

[Macie Lightfoot]

ALSO, Jaclyn's apparently going to be on an episode of Say Yes to the Dress but lbr the dress will have to say yes to her

[reece(:]

Is Val preggers?

There's also a pic of Jon dressed as a nurse which is quite cute but at the same time looks like he's starring in American Psycho: The Musical

[caprimint]

They're gonna have a cute child.

[Macie Lightfoot]

In more depressing news,

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91Zj8cdZz6L._SL1500_.jpg

Kelley ****ing SUCKS and she's super inconsequential in SJDS but I at least get her being on the cover bc of Cambodia. However, Josh robbing Jaclyn of being on the cover is ****ing inexcusable.

[MB.]

I'm sure whoever made that mistook Wentworth for Jaclyn and that can be the only explanation
