^ it was all that dullard Aubry's doing

No she was too busy giving Neal those spots.:hehe:

Liz would have been med-evaced if she stayed anyway

And tbh I'd rather that (as long as it wasn't too serious) than falling victim to the same person putting a hit out every single episode without no adversary.

CBS seems to have two patterns with their modern programming.

1. Wince and repeat the exact same formula in each episode.

2. The big players never have a rival that's actually capable enough to take them on, like what you could get in China and Pearl Islands.

I thought that you normally like entertainers?:laugh:

Seriously does everyone just want a one sided show of dullards getting to the end?

I judge contestants on shows with and without public involvement differently. On BBUK for example the onus is on the audience to keep the show afloat, but in shows with a strategic format there's not the same responsibility so I tend to support people more on who I like as people or find enjoyable to watch rather than who is objectively contributing to the show :laugh:

I guess I can appreciate what Jason/Scot have brought to the season in terms of a storyline but they're still ****ing disgusting, so I'm definitely rooting against them (and in a weird kind of way I actually enjoy doing that on strategic shows? It's gripping if nothing else, see: BB15 US, BB4 Canada)

I think that's ****ed Tai now :( why did you have to play the extra vote

AarynGriesfan
05-05-2016, 01:13 AM
Joe finally got some air time it was shocking! When he kept misspelling immunity I laughed so hard. Tai did a horrible job at tribal council as usual. Glad Michele stayed and Jason went home great result!

Calderyon

He is not going next time, since he still has the immunity idol that he can use next time.

Jack_
05-05-2016, 01:46 AM

True, but he's not the first and wouldn't be the last person to walk out with an idol in their pocket

Calderyon
05-05-2016, 01:51 AM
Surely he has to realise that he should use it regardless to ensure a trip to final 4. Itīs the last time he can use it after all.

Another fair point, fingers crossed :fc:

Calderyon
05-05-2016, 01:55 AM
Jason left. Bye, bye.

Tai is in a bit of a pickle next time, but as long he is smart and uses his idol on himself, he is in the final 4.

Aubrey looking more and more like the winner.

Macie Lightfoot
05-05-2016, 02:23 AM
uh lol Aubry's episode was NOT good at all for her winner chances, give it up hun

AarynGriesfan
05-05-2016, 04:02 AM
Tai is obviously going to play his idol next week so he is safe which means bye bye Joe or Aubrey.

Michelle has a edit?

Calderyon
05-05-2016, 12:22 PM
If Michele is the winner, i think she would have one of the most invisible winner edit since Sophie. And that one was bad.

Still donīt know what she has done to deserve a win.

I'm pretty sure Michele is winning which is a good ending in my book. Although I like everyone left so idc really

Macie Lightfoot
05-05-2016, 01:31 PM
Michele's perfectly fine and she's been my winner pick since episode 1 so I'm confident she wins. Her edit hasn't even been terrible, just lower visibility like Sophie and Nataie White. She's not that exciting but I still like her and this is easily the best end game group since SJDS.

VanessaFeltz.

also i wanted borelle out :x

I had to remind myself, and chuckle at the fact that Joe was put on the brains tribe.

Immunity Joe, its spelt I-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y.

Good episode.

Tai needs to win but it's looking very unlikely. Aubry and Cydney are fine and deserving winners but eh. Michelle is probably my preference to win over those two but would be a more bland end to this season. Joe would be super meh and I just don't see him winning anyway.

Macie Lightfoot
07-05-2016, 08:01 PM
Michele's win will be fun bc casuals (and apparently some people on here) will be livid because she didn't make any BIG MOVES and she didn't PLAY DA GAME :love: she's likable enough and will win because of her social game, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

She's young and pretty, that's her social game.

She is likable though, in the sense that you are unlikely to make enemies when you don't participate in the game.

Joe has also been a passenger,He obviously has no chance winning, but it takes a certain look to pull off riding the wave with grace.

And making big moves does not necessarily mean playing the game,hiding behind more threatening targets is definitely a viable approach but usually having a solid social game means you have some idea of whats going on around you, and have influence even if it isn't expressed by choice. She has no influence,no back seat control, no plan,her fate is completely and totally controlled by the wishes of others.She's the pawn who won't have to worry about winning immunity, or having allies, or finding an idol, or finding out which way any vote is going,or convincing someone to vote a certain way, every aspect and element of her game has been determined by the actions and decisions of others.

But, she is young and pretty.

Thing is Casuals and some people on here dont even know who Michelle is. I mean Mark the chicken has more of a personality then she does and quite honestly would get more jury votes to win because the jury will forget who Michelle is.

She's gotten playing of air time the last couple weeks so if you don't know who Michele is at this point then it's your own fault for not paying close enough attention.

Macie Lightfoot

I wouldnīt be livid, i would be puzzled and somewhat perplexed as to why she deserves it? :shrug:

Macie Lightfoot
08-05-2016, 06:33 PM
if she gets the votes to win then her social game was good enough.

Calderyon
08-05-2016, 06:50 PM
^ True, i guess.

Tbf, if she gets rid of Aubrey next, she could be a contender.

Macie Lightfoot
12-05-2016, 12:16 AM
alolllllllll Joegod's IC performance is easily the best since Jaclyn's final IC win

AarynGriesfan

Well Aubrey is probably screwed now. No one in their right mind should want to go to the end with Aubrey. Michele path to winning just got a lot easier!

Little pointless episode imo.

Itīs pretty apparent what will happen, someone probably Cydney is going to win immunity and Tai is voted out.

I do wonder if they make it a final 2 this time since itīs still a 2 hour finale. Or are they counting reunion to it as well.

If it happens, the final 2 will be Cydney and Michelle.

iRyan
12-05-2016, 11:36 AM
Flawless final 4 <3

I've been rooting for these four since pretty much the beginning so i'm honestly happy for any of them

I think Cydney most deserves to win tho

Its a 2 hour finale then a 1 hour reunion so 3 hours total. A final 2 does seem likely.

How could anyone make a move when there was no tribal council? Your hate for Michele is even more irrational then everyone's hate for Kelsey is.

Natalie.
12-05-2016, 02:51 PM
Aw Joe :(
I'd like a Cydney, Aubry or Tai win

I haven't seen many seasons yet but this one has been my favourite so far

Headie
12-05-2016, 03:54 PM
Aubry is becoming a tad annoying, still love ha tho

right now for me it's Cydney > Michele > Aubry > Tai

Mokka
12-05-2016, 04:02 PM
The final 4 is very good, however I wish Debbie was there :(

Same..

I like this final four overall... but Michelle is my least favourite. I mean, I still have to look up her name because I barely know who she is

But at least all the tragic bullies are gone

EspeonBB
12-05-2016, 06:51 PM
Poor Joe :( I always liked him despite no edit

This is an amazing final 4. In terms of who I'd like to win: Cydney > Aubry > Tai > Michele but I like all 4

Calderyon
12-05-2016, 06:54 PM
For me the winning order is Tai -> Aubrey -> either of the other two.

JerseyWins
13-05-2016, 07:22 AM
I mean the boot order evened out to a decent finish but I haven't cared much for hardly anyone for weeks now.

Tai > Michelle > Aubry = Cydney basically for me. Tai winning would be a great finish. The rest wouldn't really be good or bad, just kinda acceptable. :joker:

14-05-2016, 02:25 PM

Three more days until WINCHELE

Calderyon
17-05-2016, 04:01 PM
More like DULLCHELE or BORECHELE, but if she wins, good for her i guess. If the jury goes and votes for her to win, there is nothing anybody can do to stop it.

She needs to get rid of Aubrey and/or Cydney though and take Tai to final 2, if she wants to have a chance of winning. That would be somewhat of a big move.

Macie Lightfoot
19-05-2016, 12:31 AM
WINCHELE.......x

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 12:33 AM
Bleh for that Michele win.

Tai is gone, i guess. I canīt see Aubrey or Cydney going at this stage.

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 12:39 AM
Yeah, Aubry is going to turn on Tai and vote him out.

EDIT: Oh, i guess it might be the other way then.

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 12:49 AM
In the end neither one turned and itīs a Cydney vs Aubrey fire making faceoff. I predict a Cydney win.

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 12:55 AM
The jury seems to dislike Cydney a lot.

Jack_
19-05-2016, 12:55 AM

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 01:34 AM
Neal was and is a sourpuss *****, but i what he said was somewhat truthful.

But sadly Michelle will probably win this. For reasons (other than she somehow managing to get the votes) unknown.

DrunkerThanMoses
19-05-2016, 01:36 AM
Aubry obviously won?

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 01:37 AM

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 01:40 AM
Tbh, iīm just happy that Tai has made to the end.

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 01:47 AM
Based on my count, Aubrey should win hands down. But stranger things have happened.

DrunkerThanMoses
19-05-2016, 01:49 AM

No suprise, they are scared by independent women who have braincells like Aubry and like dumb arses like Michelle cause they can treat her like crap.

Macie Lightfoot
19-05-2016, 02:18 AM
She's likable and sociable and had friends on the jury? I don't see why it's shocking that she won. It's akin to Lisa Donohue in BBUS3.

Because Aubry played a better game. At least Lisa had a personalty and played a decent game. Michelle is.... well forgettable. Very undeserving winner, and one of the worst winners the show has had.

Calderyon
19-05-2016, 02:20 AM
Cydney, Kyle, Scot, Julia and Nick all voted for Michele. Only Joseph (Joe) and Debbie voted for Aubry. Tai got no votes as predicted.

EspeonBB
19-05-2016, 02:20 AM
I wanted Aubry to win but I'm fine with Michele winning. The jury twist is so BBUS-like and I'd rather it be left out of Survivor though, even if it didn't effect the results

This season was amazing though :love: I've legitimately enjoyed all of it which hasn't happened for ages

just because you forget her doesn't mean she's forgettable and one of the worst winner ever lol. She got 5 jury votes, she played the best game.

19-05-2016, 02:29 AM
She's definitely forgettable, yes she deserved to win but she's still dull as hell and has made for a disappointing end to an amazing season

EspeonBB
19-05-2016, 02:30 AM
Michele's social game was great and I think she deserved to win. People don't realise Survivor is a social game above all else and if you develop close relationships with people they will vote for you. :shrug:

19-05-2016, 02:40 AM
Still undeserving in my view. Scot and Jason/Kyle are just bitter because Aubry had a braincell to get them out. Well done to Michelle, I guess doing nothing and following the crowd earns you 1 million, thankfully Nick will do the right thing and spend all the money she won.

Macie Lightfoot

More Kaoh Rong and less Cambodia!

Calderyon

Itīs another Success or Bust -season.

The title should just be Oldies vs Young īuns and be done with it. Itīs not good, but itīs surely better than Millennials vs. Gen-x, right?

EspeonBB
19-05-2016, 03:00 AM

But it's the truth, Will had like one blowup at Shirin and I never even thought Dan did anything wrong anyway (Rodney was way worse and got away with everything), while Scot and Jason's treatment of Alecia was disgusting and their prolonged vile misogynistic attitudes were most definitely worse than them

Having Michelle win that Immunity challenge to save herself, made her win slightly more bearable.She came up in the clutch and that made me respect her slightly more.

JerseyWins
19-05-2016, 03:43 PM
For me Survivor's a show that's hard to watch live because there's so much stuff that's better to just skip through. There's a lot of "extra" stuff put into the show (especially on the finale) and the comps are always painfully long/boring IMO. I don't even bother watching the reunion in the seasons I've been watching and this one reminded me why. :joker:

19-05-2016, 04:36 PM

If that so called stupid twist didn't exist and they were playing for immunity instead then Aubrey goes home in 3rd place and Michele beats Tai 9-0 in the final 2. That twist actually helped Aubrey more than it hurt her.

it should've been directly f3 and that challenge shouldnt have played. Also you dont know how she would perform if she knew it was for immunity, she was close to win reward anyways.

Also she would've won against tai but not 9-0 im pretty sure it would be like 6-3 (Joe, Neal, Aubry voting Tai)

You can't honestly think she didn't try her hardest in that challenge because immunity wasn't on the line. It wasn't day 39 yet so there was always going to be a challenge they just changed up what the prize was to try out this twist. The twist ended up having no real outcome on the game which is perfectly fine with me.

I was rooting for Cydney but Michele was my second choice so I'm happy! And it sounds like Jeff wants Cydney to play again so here's hoping! Get her and her mom on BvW3 tbh

The edit was the unfortunate give away.After a 4 odd great week stretch of survivor where move after move was made the only way the Jeff wouldn't have liked the season if someone like Michelle of Joe wound up winning.

Well they're fans of individual players which don't exist from season to season, you can't compare them to something like edgic which is present all the time

...Not to mention the amount of homophobes, racists and sexists who watch the show.

And that goes without saying, but they exist in pretty much anything. That's like someone going 'Roy is definitely the worst thing about Corrie' and then someone replying 'what about the middle England racists who watch it tho!!!'

Michele was the only person in Survivor: Kaôh Rōng to win more than one individual Immunity Challenge.
Michele attended her first Tribal Council the latest among other Sole Survivors, she attended her first Tribal Council on Day 22.
Michele is tied with Natalie Anderson for most challenge wins by a female winner with 13.
Michele became the third person from New Jersey to win in the past 5 seasons, the others being Tony Vlachos and Natalie Anderson.
Michele is tied with Cassandra Franklin the record for the least number of Tribal Councils attended of any finalist with 7 each.
Michele currently hold the record for surviving the most days in the game without attending Tribal Council.
Michele is the only winner to never attend a Tribal Council pre-merge.

My first comment was aimed at you saying that people aren't part of the Survivor community because their like/dislike for players changes on a season by season basis. That doesn't make them any less of the Survivor community imo.

It's different strokes for different folks, which is why I thought your comment was a bit far-fetched. Like you've explained; there is logic and theory behind editing, which is why some people find it interesting. There analysing the show they love, and they're not necessarily spoiling themselves by doing so. I understand why people would find it annoying. However, there are archetypes of Survivor fans. When you have teen girls (or boys) who send death threats and racist comments towards people like Abi-Maria because they vote out 'godly' players like Joe, saying that 'edgic stans' (which aren't really even a thing) are the worst part of the community is a bit harsh and offensive imo.

If the only reason the editors started giving Michele any airtime was because she ended up winning and they had no other choice, that tells you all you need to know about how entertaining and essential a character to the season she was.

Like yeah Jason and Scot are repugnant but let's be real their storyline and eventual demise (along with the incredible blindside) is just one of the many things that made this season so great to watch. Michele on the other hand was totally irrelevant most of the time :shrug:

I don't think this forum has been this divisive about a winner before so calling Michele dull is quite ironic :p

What other 'specific' fans are there then? You've just contradicted yourself because in your last post you said that 'edgic stans' are part of the community every season. There are no such thing as generalised fans or specific fans, and I don't think that's a fair way to justify what you said.

Edgic is only ever other people's perception based on editing, so to say that it's a spoiler is a little bit silly. Forums have always been far more analytical than casual fans, and what you describe is what a casual viewer is. Maybe it would be best to watch it without interacting with other people on here. I know that comes across really rude, but like other people have said; it's not our fault the editing has become so predictable. People want to discuss it just as much as anyone else, but the fact of the matter is that it's an opinion based on logic.

If the only reason the editors started giving Michele any airtime was because she ended up winning and they had no other choice, that tells you all you need to know about how entertaining and essential a character to the season she was.

Like yeah Jason and Scot are repugnant but let's be real their storyline and eventual demise (along with the incredible blindside) is just one of the many things that made this season so great to watch. Michele on the other hand was totally irrelevant most of the time :shrug:



The only reason her win is being debated is because people either think she didn't play a good enough game or (in my case) that she was just dull, neither negate that tbh

Which is ironic because people have displayed a lot of hate, whilst others have expressed a lot of love.

It's funny that some people have bitterly said that Michele has been forgotten already. She's obviously a polarising character :p

Does Michelle get a better edit in future episodes? four episodes in and I have no clue who Michelle is.

Will be quiet
Will eat a burger
Will win immunity
Will win survivor

Her character wasn't polarising, her winning over Aubry was.

Because they are? Fans of Will, Scot, Jason etc are not, they exist for one season unless they play again. Saying something like 'fans of the attractive men', 'fans of the douche guys', 'racist/homophobic fans' would make more sense because these archetypes also exist every season. I don't consider fans of specific players to be part of what I term 'community', when I say 'community' I mean sections of it that always exist like the casuals, cat ladies, tweens, superfans etc etc. Besides, I've already said my comment wasn't supposed to be taken literally so I'm not sure why this discussion is continuing tbh

But it is, especially if its proponents claim it's so accurate - that makes it a spoiler, if not certainly on the borderline. Of course forums are more analytical but to the extent of decoding the edit to work out who wins? That's far more niche, just like those who wish to read actual spoilers are. Maybe the best compromise would either be just to keep in depth discussion of the edit to the spoiler thread or create one for it? That way everyone is happy

Some disliked because of how explosive the season was and how quiet she was in comparison, True.

But, had it been a final 2 with Tai and Michelle.A lot would not have reacted in disbelief or anger when Michelle won. Tai's flaws were glaring, and as entertaining as he was his game was unfocused, erratic, and most found him to be untrustworthy.

The reason Michelle winning has exploded the internet is because she was sitting next to Aubry.

Okay, I'm going to stop here because this could go on forever and I'm not repeating myself :p

I've only glimpsed over the second paragraph, and we already have a separate spoiler thread (if I remember). I don't mind using it for edgic reasons but I don't know if it will prevent others from saying their opinion? It could be quite confusing.

I think it all comes back to editing. Aubry was edited as an all-star to root for so people were going to be unhappy regardless. I don't think it makes Michele 'dull' though. She owned the finale and deserved her win, but that's obviously what I think.

And then there are people like you who are equally as bad who take the show seriously and think it's appropriate to call people The C Word just because a result didn't go your way.

i watched the show for weeks, i got pissed because someone undeserving won, i think im allowed to have passion about something and i am done with it i dont even hate michelle i think she is just irrel.

calling her c word was wrong, saying what i think and expressing my feelings werw not

That's the editors fault though. You could say if Jason and Scot got no airtime with all their shenanigans edited out, and Michele got all the airtime this season then she was the reason for this season being made :conf:

Well of course, that goes without saying! The editors determine the direction of the season, but if Michele was all that interesting I'm sure they'd have given her more airtime before they absolutely had to, but they didn't.

Hypothetical discussions about edited shows are pointless and I never understand why people bother tbh. Making points like 'well maybe she is entertaining but just isn't being shown!' is a moot one because how are we supposed to know that? I'm not going to support someone on the off-chance they're actually doing something that we're not seeing, we only have what's in front of us or else what's the point in watching the show? This is why I prefer shows with live feed because you can judge how accurate the edit is, but with Survivor and BBUK all you have is the editor's judgement and I'd think that if something was noteworthy enough by a contestant, they'd make the edit.

I honestly urge you to watch S19, or even S22 tbh as those seasons just show how some amazing characters and storylines are overlooked when the editors only focus on editing 1 or 2 main characters and giving everyone else irrelevant edits. Whilst this season has been great, I've no doubt that there were other interesting storylines which would've been entertaining for me to watch, some of which probably included Michelle. I'd much rather see this unexplored stories than have the 'SPECIAL HII POWER WILL IT BE USED WON'T IT?' storyline shoved down our throats every episode, especially when it concerns two people who already get more airtime than they deserve due to their bullying tactics.

I really want you to watch S19 now and tell me your opinions on it :laugh: I think I know who you'd root for but they're known for being a season ruiner by most online fans due to how much airtime they got :laugh:

What a disappointing ending to what has been a brilliant season. Michelle has been invisible for the vast majority of this season and has done nothing to warrant winning.

I thought the twist to vote off a jury member was interesting, but so unfair. They've worked hard to get as far as the jury and have earned their vote in the final, it's not fair to strip them of that at the last minute.

I loved Sia's appearance, what a lovely thing she did for Tai and his charity :love:

And I am totally confused as to what the next season is about, wtf at the title. :umm2:

for what it's worth, I do edgic because I like organizing reality TV seasons into color-coded Excel boxes, not because I think the editing team adheres to edgic rules when editing the season to make sure that they're winner is viable, but Michele's first confessional about being a bartender and her anticipated social game was such an obvious winner confessional lol. Not to mention that so many events were unnecessarily told through her point of view.
