Survivor 34: Game Changers - Mamanuca Islands

[starry]

The edit was screaming Debbie was going, but I still don't particularly like Sarah and the rather disfunctional group she's allied with. And this 'attention to detail' stuff, I think she was just lucky she got close enough to see the advantage. Though I was hoping Michaela was about to miss it, because that was in itself funny. Sarah must have a very short memory as well, saying an extra vote has never been used correctly, it was at the previous tribal.

I skipped all the Cirie stuff, very generic storyline.

[LemonJam]

President Sarah being wishy-washy as **** again :love:

[DouglasS]

I find Sierra extremely dislikable from BOTH her seasons.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Sarah must have a very short memory as well, saying an extra vote has never been used correctly, it was at the previous tribal.

Well the vote was 7-4-1-1 so it wasn't necessary. It was actually a complete waste when you think about what could have happened if Debbie used it this week.

okay Zeke is awful and this insider clip is awful but I did laugh out loud at how they just cut it off in the middle of his sentence :love:

[reece(:]

Glad he was cut off on that sentence cos it was pathetic :rolleyes:

He can go before Bland and Sierror

:joker: At least Debbie gets evicted in perfect ways.

I literally can't think of a single existence of Brad or Sierra being entitled.
Sierra is a bit smug & definitely shows entitlement in most confessionals though. Also her talks on the beach kinda fit that as well. It's basically all "this is what we're doing" and "I don't like these people so bye" while laying back on a hammock or something.

And with Brad I think it was more so earlier on and just that he feels like everyone should automatically join his group. They act like others should play their game because they are/were the leaders of a majority alliance. I do think he was more reasonable when talking to Debbie about the next target last episode though.

In all honesty, (unless I'm forgetting something that annoyed me about him) Brad hasn't been that bad recently because his edit has been more sympathetic and humbled for whatever reason (maybe the wrath of Debbie) and Sierra has only just gotten really bad. It's just very hard to find reasons to like them though throughout this season.

Nobody can be shown being that over-confident, unaware and sickeningly self-assured on a Survivor episode and not also be shown being massively blindsided on the very same episode!!!

Highly, highly predictable but still very satisfying to watch.:dance:

The thing is I thought this too but every time the edit pushes strongly in one direction the opposite seems to happen... so this time I kept thinking "nah I feel like Debbie actually stays"... :joker: I think the over confidence from Debbie should've made me realize it would actually happen though. Also in hindsight, I should've realized Sarah/Zeke would be voting together and Zeke didn't seem too pro-Debbie but then again, a lot of times these edits don't make too much sense.

Yeah, i think they must have been told that the viewers were getting a bit fed-up with the blatant in-episode spoilers so i think they try to throw you the odd curve-ball in there to try and make you think they're not being so blatant but 99% of the time your initial suspicions end up being spot-on! :laugh:

I still can't stop myself watching every episode of every new Season though! :bored:

[Macie Lightfoot]

So now that we only have four episodes left, what are our thoughts on this season so far? I think it's..... solidly okay. I don't think it's great (even good might be a bit of a stretch), but it's definitely watchable. The production values are similar to Cambodia and MvGX which is definitely annoying, but the editing is muuuuch better so it's making the whole thing bearable. Alliances are still appearing out of thin air and it's annoying (like, the show never did anything to explain Andrea and Cirie apparently being super close, and Brad and Sierra went from having like one or two scenes together pre-merge to suddenly being a two-headed tyrannical dragon ruling this game with an iron fist), but the edit is actually focusing on characterization as opposed to focusing solely on gameplay, strategy, and BIG MOVEZ!!! And just about everyone's had their moments to shine, which is nice. Troyzan's really the only one who it feels like he's pretty much been written off the show. Even Andrea and Aubry have had some moments in spite of their abysmal edits.

[DouglasS]

I've surprisingly really enjoyed this season, I'm not massive on returner seasons, but this has been a good season with lots of good moments.

[MB.]

If it continues in the same vein as it has up to now (i.e. it doesn't just turn into Cambodia for the final few weeks), then I'd probably put it as a top 15 season

I've seen people calling it better than HvV, which I'm... not exactly sure about, but I'm glad I went into it with low expectations, because - aside from the similarities in production values that you pointed out - it's been fairly enjoyable and I can't knock a season which has a pre-merge dominated by Sandra and a Cirie-centric post-merge

[reece(:]

It's been a watchable cluster****

I think it's pretty good! It's benefitted massively from the right people going home early (except Sandra obviously and I like Tony but in the context of this season he would've been an airtime hog if he got any further).

[Macie Lightfoot]

Mhmm, I think the boot order definitely helped. Ciera being a complete afterthought, JT continuing to discredit himself as a legitimate player, Caleb and Malcolm and Ozzy all getting ousted early and/or being underedited, actually getting six episodes of Sandra (and even more if she wasn't swap****ed) :love:

[DouglasS]

It's definitely been above my expectations, as I was kinda expecting to be disapointed aha, but it really has been good. Even if the ending does end up being bad/the next few episodes, I can still say I thrououghly enjoyed 2/3 of the season meaning it will not be in my bottom third of survivor meaning its been a great season for me.

I'm also glad Aubry has had a smaller edit this season, as I really enjoyed her in her original season but still found her a little bit too overbearing/exposed, wherea shes been kinda UTR with some really nice/interesting moments [I was most worried about her being overbearing this season, but I still like her]

[JerseyWins]

I don't think it's bad but there have been a pretty large amount of boring episodes. (the first part of the premiere was actually very bad for a premiere, Caleb's boot episode, Malcolm's boot episode up until the TC, etc... the post merge has actually been pretty ok though but again nothing great)

I do agree that Sandra has helped out the season a ton though. Without Sandra's moments, the pre-merge kinda becomes atrocious tbh. This season is definitely worse than the past two seasons though. And it's hard to get over how bad the boot order has been. :laugh:

[MB.]

But last season was Millennitrash vs. Trash X?

[reece(:]

Ciera as the first boot has probably been one of the most forgettable?

I think Sarah might use the advantage tonight.

I just appreciate no one is targeting Cirie despite her being the biggest threat there

Thanks for being part of getting rid of Sandra, Zeke. That was the greatest thing ever. I´m forever grateful of that.

[reece(:]

Andrea clocked.

dull @ family visit.

[JerseyWins]

Ughhhh Sierra has like 9 lives :fist:

Saw that one coming but then when Sierra voted Tai I thought it was maybe her. Weird how things went down this episode/vote. Good episode though.

Also lmao @ Debbie at TC tonight :joker:

The way Zeke plays is good for the game of Survivor. There is no "side A vs. side B" when he's on a season and I think that's the thing I appreciate most about Zeke. He's not a top favorite of mine but still he's harmless and I wouldn't mind seeing him again mainly for that reason (to make the tribe dynamics interesting).

[Macie Lightfoot]

I am sooooooooo happy that Zeke is gone, he's so damn annoying and a toxic, constant soundbite of the season's theme and the worst Survivor cliches. And the fact that he has a reputation of being ~a great gameplayer and a dangerous threat~ literally comes from the fact that he...... talks a lot about The Game and Strategy? Believes his own hype? I can't think of a single accomplishment of his in TWO seasons, and if anything his "erratic" (it's not really erratic but for the lack of a better word) gameplay turns more people off than anything.

[AarynGriesfan]

In a post Hali Ford world, Andrea and Cirie are the only good thing left going.

[starry]

That's what makes it more Survivor than Big Brother.

Cirie is so utterly boring I hope she goes soon.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Thats what you get for ruining the season. Now you can change the game in the jury house. bye felicia

[Braden]

Zeke was boring and inconsequential outside of the controversy that Jeff caused. He was a waste of a spot and I'm glad he's gone.

[starry]

Boring episode really.

[LemonJam]

I'm very indifferent on Zeke. I haven't seen his original season but he's really not as bad as he's being made out to be IMO.

[Braden]

I didn't mind Zeke in MvG-x, but watching him play two seasons in a row has proven how obnoxious and superfluous he is in his behaviour and attitude towards the game.

Certainly not my cup of tea.

[DouglasS]

I think it was a bad move for the alliance of girls to get rid of Zeke. Would have made more sense to go with Tai, knowing they could get Sierra's vote whenever also [Little did they know they would have removed two idols also]. Then turn on Zeke the following week.

[starry]

I'm very indifferent on Zeke. I haven't seen his original season but he's really not as bad as he's being made out to be IMO.

His edit on this one was mainly about the transgender aspect (which had already leaked anyway). But on the first season I did find him annoying.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Zeke being trans was a storyline for maaaaaybe one hour of television.

[MB.]

"BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES BIG MOVES also did I mention BIG MOVES"

Wow, what a fascinating episode

[MB.]

Also, I know the editing can generally get pretty crappy these days, but is it just me or did none of that episode make an ounce of sense? Like, since when has an Andrea-Aubry duo been a threat? How did Zeke and Brad having a chat about football manifest itself into "Zeke's dangerous and has to go"? How did Michaela go from not wanting to vote Zeke out to voting Zeke out to crying at Zeke being voted out? Why did Tai get so many votes, other than the fact that Brad and Troyzan have a thing with Sierra? I'm thankful that Zeke's gone, obviously, but it'd be nice if we had an episode that wasn't as difficult to decipher as the Rosetta Stone once in a while

[JerseyWins]

I think it was a bad move for the alliance of girls to get rid of Zeke. Would have made more sense to go with Tai, knowing they could get Sierra's vote whenever also [Little did they know they would have removed two idols also]. Then turn on Zeke the following week.
Yeah for sure a bad move. The numbers are way too close where anything could happen now. So much easier to go for one or two of the Brad/Sierra/Troyzan/Tai group first and then worry about Zeke.

Although I guess it's a good move for Andrea since she probably could've been next if Zeke stayed (not that she can't be next anyway though but I can see that it's worth a risk for her).

Anyway, again I would've much preferred Sierra to go instead of Zeke but hopefully things will be kind of interesting moving forward at least. Plus there's a lot of idols left to be used between Tai & Troyzan.

[Headie]

Even though I'm enjoying this season I still feel like it's too predictable, like there's no way this iconic girls alliance is going to make it to the end when the opposing side has 3 idols between them

[Braden]

I completely forgot Troyzan even had an idol. They only paid attention to Tai and his two idols in the episode :laugh:

[DouglasS]

Even though I'm enjoying this season I still feel like it's too predictable, like there's no way this iconic girls alliance is going to make it to the end when the opposing side has 3 idols between them

Sierra does the same thing each season and enables all the guys against the girls.

[AarynGriesfan]

Even though I'm enjoying this season I still feel like it's too predictable, like there's no way this iconic girls alliance is going to make it to the end when the opposing side has 3 idols between them

I have mostly liked this season and as much as I really wish this girls alliance can go all the way to the end I agree that it wont. Which is sad because a Sarah win seems inevitable but she's so boring that I am not looking forward to that.

[Calderyon]

Yeah, i too think that Andrea´s move was too personal and they should have just voted someone from the other side of. I guess they just assume that Sarah is going to stay true with them. (Which she won´t)

Troyzan and Tai´s idol´s will get rid of some of the other side, i agree. I think Andrea is one of them.

[AarynGriesfan]

Yeah, i too think that Andrea´s move was too personal and they should have just. I guess they just assume that Sarah is going to stay true with them. (Which she won´t)

Troyzan and Tai´s idol´s will get rid of some of the other side, i agree. I think Andrea is one of them.

I think Andrea is screwed no matter what she did. If she got rid of Sierra then Sarah and Zeke turn against her and take her out next week. If she gets rid of Zeke then Sarah flips on her anyways and gets rid of her. Short of an impressive immunity run shes screwed no matter what I think.

[Macie Lightfoot]

yeah I don't think Andrea made a bad move because it doesn't really put her in any worse of a position than she was already in. Zeke was coming after her and she had Immunity so it was the perfect time to take him out (and also optimal for my viewing pleasure because god Zeke is awful)

[AarynGriesfan]

So from the preview I'm guessing Brad targets Michaela for "being a diva" aka being a black woman who doesn't just do what he says, and Cirie feels guilty about having to vote her out

[JerseyWins]

Finally Sierror is out but that might've been THE most boring episode of the season (and there are a couple episodes to compete with for that).

[AarynGriesfan]

Good for Tai aligning with the one person he could beat at final tribal council. Unfortunately for him Sarah is going to destroy them both.

[Calderyon]

Since we still have 8 players in the game and there is only two episodes left (next week and then the final), i guess we are having a double next time and then another triple boot in the finale like last season so that we get to the magic number of 3. Gonna be another bull rush.

[Calderyon]

I guess not, since next weeks episode seems to be only 1 hour. So a quadruple boot in the 2 hour finale.

[Calderyon]

Maybe they could do a double vote off. Two people leaving in one tribal with a single vote or then we could have two votes, one after another.

There are still 3 idols [and then another one in the form of Sarahs]. There is surely no way atleast an idol wont be played next tribal.

It'd be interesting to see if more than 2 idols get played in a tribal - has there ever been 3 tribals used at once

Mess, the finale is in two weeks? It feels like it's only just started /: it doesn't seem it's been on for long same with bbcan.

[DouglasS]

Each episode I forget Troyzan is there. I feel kinda bad as no one this season has really been invisible except him

At least Aubry talks at tribal and has a confessional every now and then or is involved in gametalk.

The gametalk on the opposite side has always revolved around Sierra, Debbie and Brad

I mean hes had fewer confessionals than the second eliminated, and almost everyone the entire season [Bar Ciera, Caleb] and hes been in 11 or 12 episodes.

[JerseyWins]

Troyzan comes on the screen to deliver his gem for the episode though. That's good enough for me.

Monica's had more screentime and Storylines post merge than Troyzan

[MB.]

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the only thing I've learnt about Troyzan this season is the size and colour of his penis

[EspeonBB]

Wigler: Going into the game, your relationship with Hali was basically non-existent. You ended up playing together for a bit out there. Did your relationship change, or did it remain in that awkward place coming into the game?

Sierra: I mean, y’all see my relationship with Hali. (Laughs) Love the girl, nothing against her, we just have never been on the same page. I remember when I got the call to go, she was the first person I texted: “Hey girl, see you in Fiji!” And the reply I got back was, “Who is this?”

Wigler: “New phone, whodis?”

Sierra: Exactly! (Laughs) Stop it, that’s literally what flashed in my head: “NEW PHONE WHODIS?” That’s pretty much mine and Hali’s relationship. I have nothing against the girl. I think she’s so intelligent and I’m so proud of what she’s doing with her life, but me and her just aren’t on the same page when it comes to Survivor, and even outside of the game. I wish her all the best, we just don’t have a relationship.

I hate that the comp winners just ignored Michaela's pleas to take her and her ma' on the reward just because they thought she'd get over it quickly and fall back into line.:fist:

Yeah this is going to be a mess

They haven't had enough time to explain all the dynamics going into this tribal

[Braden]

Cirie :laugh2:

[EspeonBB]

lmfao :joker:

[Calderyon]

You´re the dumbest player ever, Tai.

[Calderyon]

What the hell!!! Didn´t see that coming.

Very happy about that though. Goodbye Michaela. Not going to miss you.

[Jack_]

This tribal is gonna be a disaster I just know it

I hope Cirie doesn't screw herself over

:rolleyes:

[EspeonBB]

Yeah that episode was trash

[Jack_]

So Michaela leaves this season like that, great

:rolleyes:

[EspeonBB]

The edit literally provided no reason for them to target Michaela? This doesn't make any sense

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm sure people loooove all the whispers at TC bc it makes the show WILD and CRAZY and UNPREDICTABLE and it's GOOD TV, but then you get to the point where this is the third or fourth vote this season where there is absolutely no storyline to follow and the boot isn't justified at all. It's just really sloppy storytelling and a cheap thrill bc there isn't even a story being told.

[Jack_]

By far the worst episode

If this great season ends with Sarah winning it'll have been a complete waste of time, I'll be happy with a Cirie/Tai/Aubry win

[Calderyon]

In the end a good episode. From a result point.

[EspeonBB]

Also the producers were dumb to make the advantage non-transferable. Where's the fun in that?

[Jack_]

The whispers are fun when you actually understand the plan heading into tribal, my issue is with the excessive idols/advantages. Don't get me wrong, I think they have a place in the game but there's been way too many this season, it's impossible to keep track of who has what and how the intricate details of what they entail might affect the vote

[Braden]

That tribal council was great purely as a result of Cirie reading out the instructions of the advantage and realising she'd ****ed up :joker:

[Jack_]

I have visions of this season ending with a Brad, Sarah and Troyzan F3 and ...

:umm2:

:umm2::umm2::umm2::umm2::umm2:

:umm2:

...

:umm2:






:umm2:

[Calderyon]

I guess once again, i´m the only one happy with the result.

[Calderyon]

So Tai gives both of his idols away. One to Brad and i´d guess one to Troyzan. Since Troy has one also already, they could all use them and all be safe.

[Headie]

This season is trash, Cirie is the only good thing left about it and I guarantee she'll be gone next

[JerseyWins]

Watching tonight's episode now. Something I think I forgot to mention about the episode last week... why would you tell someone that if you're voted out you're going to give them an advantage in the game? :joker: Like obviously they're gonna want you out then.

- Interesting that Sarah's going for Andrea and Andrea's going for Sarah :worry: Sarah kinda seems to be winning to me plus everyone seems to think/know this so I'm a little worried for Andrea.

- Oh now the discussion is on Brad. I'd be allllll for Sierra & Brad going one after another.

- Ok I'm pretty sure Brad is going to survive this vote and if he does I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up winning this season. Him, Troyzan & Tai will still be in the minority though and he feels like a pretty big target so eh idk. But just all the #WWMD and a lot of stuff from his perspective has me kinda sketched out. Maybe it's just that he's been in a big role throughout.

- Lol @ Andrea going to / blaming Cirie after the vote and Cirie's giggling reaction. :joker: Sucks that Andrea went but at least the more that trio sticks around, the more hope I have for Troyzan & Tai staying alive. :clap1:

- Culpepper winning individual immunity now. :facepalm: He's going to win the season isn't he?

- Oh what the ***** if this extra vote advantage is what saves Sarah & screws over Tai(?)???

- OMG if Tai doesn't use one of his two idols... :joker: This is such an OTT/over-complicated plan by Cirie but I love the way Cirie plays. I just don't see how Tai could possibly believe this out of nowhere. This TC should be veeeery interesting though.

- Lmaoooooo @ Cirie not being able to use this.

- Hahahaha @ Troyzan walking in on the little group meeting/convo at TC. Needs to see if he should use his idol. :joker: The jury's reactions too lol. This is pretty wild. I honestly have no clue what's going to happen now.

- WTF why wouldn't Tai use an idol after THAT happened? O_O Either he's really dumb or don't tell me Cirie goes. :(

- Oh..... what in the HELL at this resulting in Michaela going?! I would've thought literally anyone besides her. I'm so confused but ok I guess. :joker:

That was an absolute cluster****. Episode wasn't that great but that TC was damn good, might be the best one yet and there's been some great TC's this season (the main/only thing I can credit this season for).

I also had no clue the finale is already next week... damn that's a lot of people left for a finale.

[JerseyWins]

I'm sure people loooove all the whispers at TC bc it makes the show WILD and CRAZY and UNPREDICTABLE and it's GOOD TV, but then you get to the point where this is the third or fourth vote this season where there is absolutely no storyline to follow and the boot isn't justified at all. It's just really sloppy storytelling and a cheap thrill bc there isn't even a story being told.
Lololol I actually called this TC "wild" without reading anything in this thread beforehand. :joker: :joker: :joker:

It was good for some "cheap" entertainment though despite the boot being random as hell.

[JerseyWins]

I guess once again, i´m the only one happy with the result.
Nope I'm with you. Mainly because I just didn't want to see Tai go (or Cirie who I started to get worried about for a few seconds).

Now does this put Brad/Troyzan/Tai in the driver's seat for the end game? With the idols and all I'd think it has to have shifted. Lmao if that alliance just gave the game away to a 3 person minority alliance with like a 7-4 lead or whatever. :joker: I'm very ok with that, I'd just hate to see Brad win this season.

Love Cirie but I'm glad her alliance is flopping especially after they got rid of Andrea for no reason and the rest of that group weren't anything special.

[Braden]

The chaotic whispering was great during the joint tribal council, but last night it was far too confusing to follow. It doesn't help that the episode was rushed because there were two tribal councils to get through. I don't understand why they didn't tell us what Tai said to Sarah, and it must be even worse for the jury to follow considering this is what they're provided with to decide a winner :p

...It was still the best tribal council of the merge so far. I literally love Cirie for making that mistake, it was hilarious :love:

[Headie]

Queen of appreciating the Survivor experience <3

Perched for her third chance!

[Braden]

Cirie had the perfect opportunity to channel Mariah when she was asked to read the parchment:

https://m.popkey.co/872a52/ZpYK7.gif

[MB.]

...so we're all fine with pretending that this season ended at the merge, right?

[JerseyWins]

...... The post-merge has actually been semi-decent (although still with a few really boring episodes in there). This episode was a replica of Malcolm's boot - a boring episode finished with a chaotic tribal council but with some slightly better buildup to the TC this time. Yes Michaela's boot was random in the end so it's kinda like fake buildup but at least there was a sense of unpredictability as the plot thickened throughout the episode. Also, Cirie made that TC. :worship:

They can't show more of what's being said or else they make the result too predictable going into the vote.

Also, Malcolm's boot made just as little sense aside from him being a general big target... the only difference is that they foreshadowed that one a bit early in the episode. This one would have made no sense to foreshadow or anything when Cirie trying to use the advantage was an unpredictable act that flipped everything around.

[MB.]

The post-merge would have been decent had a) they not thrown every advantage in their arsenal at the wall and hoped a couple might stick and b) they edited it in a way which made an ounce of sense to the viewer

[MB.]

Like, there's not making the boot too obvious and then there's literally naming everyone except the boot as a potential boot

[JerseyWins]

Ok I see if people might not like that but it wasn't a bad way to edit this particular episode and it felt like a lot was going on because of it (in a good way). It made sense with the unpredictability in itself of Cirie doing that.

As far as the post-merge goes... it's been back and forth, it's not like one side is just taking out the other which happens pretty often. That alone isn't a bad thing for a merge & there's plenty going on. It's actually pretty unique that a group of 6 around the merge lost control of the game and then managed to possibly get it back now after being in the minority for a few episodes. :joker: I felt like the pre-merge had much less actually going on and it was more predictable. Sandra was the only thing saving it off of her pure entertainment. Now there's actual storylines, game moves (mostly bad which is good for entertainment :laugh:), power shifts happening since the merge.

[JerseyWins]

I don't remember exactly but the only EPISODES I think I liked earlier on were Tony vs. Sandra & J.T.'s boot episode following up him trying to make a big move and it backfiring on him with Malcolm's boot. These were the only times it felt like the game was being played earlier on in the season. The rest was just kind of going through the motions with a bunch of Sandra-tainment thrown in there to mask how boring and bland the actual storylines were...

[Headie]

Michaela's reaction to Troyzan trying to join the conversation was my fave part of the episode :joker:

"Nah... move, back up... BACK UP... slide to the side... SLIDE TO THE SIDE!"

[starry]

Damn are spoilers given away here from the previews? Use spoiler tags. I don't know why it even has to be pointed out on forums.

Anyway happy Michaela gone, hopefully Cirie next.

Girl what spoilers you talkin' bout :shrug: No ones posted any

[JTM45]

Sarah's such a SCAB!!!
Typical cop through and through.:yuk:

She's had two advantages, both of which weren't intended for her, one of which she acquired by duplicity and back-stabbyness, the other by plain sneakyness yet the dishonesty of it all doesn't seem to have even vaguely occured to her once.

[JerseyWins]

I vaguely enjoy Sarah's monotone gameplay with nothing but this face: O__O but I wish she had better one-liner confessionals and things like that like she did earlier in the season.

I thought I was going to like her more this time but now I really don't think I do or will (there's only one episode left after all). :( Kinda 2 for 2 in giving me high hopes early on only to get kinda boring & annoying.

[JerseyWins]

That definitely should've made the episode. 1) It's entertaining and 2) it would've explained Michaela's boot a little bit.

I guess in hindsight the Michaela/Brad moment on the episode might explain it somewhat.

[MB.]

I swear, somebody's going to have to completely re-edit this post-merge a la Samoa

[JerseyWins]

Imagine watching Samoa without the entertainment that Russell brought.

[Macie Lightfoot]

He didn't bring any though.......x

The Survivor Facebook page is currently airing a live video outside the studio of random old people casting their votes for who they want to win :joker:

[MB.]

Judging by the comments, Facebook wants "Audry", "Tia" and, er, Ozzy to win

[reece(:]

Come thru Audry

[EspeonBB]

Audrey Middleton coming for the Survivor crown? :fc:

On now

why is Jeff still pretending that the winner is uncertain???

lmfao @ "you're like my It Girl out here" :love::love::love:

[JerseyWins]

Oh wow, I thought Brad/Tai/Troyzan were closer than this :worry:

Brad is soooo dumb if he takes Tai out.

[JerseyWins]

Also, Tai telling the truth about trying to take Sarah out... :facepalm: Really bad honest player. :joker: Could've had Sarah not trusting Cirie but hopefully this is good for Cirie then :fc:

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao them calling Worlds Apart "One World" in the DVD commercial

[JerseyWins]

WTF... Brad suuuuuuuuucks

[Macie Lightfoot]

sooooo that's really smart of Brad to bully and intimidate someone who is notorious for flipping based on personal reasons and hurt feelings and emotions!!!

[Jack_]

Brad's appalling

Boring and awful

[JerseyWins]

Not saying this will happen at all but what would happen if Tai/Cirie/Aubry vote Sarah and she has her advantage and then Tai uses an idol and gives Aubry an idol to use as well so whether Brad/Troyzan/Sarah vote for Tai or Aubry it doesn't matter? So then no one has votes and they re-vote? Or Troyzan & Cirie would draw rocks as the only ones not safe?

[JerseyWins]

Oh wow, so Tai & Aubry ARE safe and now Sarah uses her legacy advantage! :o

Troyzan using his idol now too. :joker: So only Cirie can go though??? Wtf

[JerseyWins]

Damn that's a brutal way to go. :( Cirie </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

good lord this is sooooooo stupid. Like, one of the best social and strategic players is going home IN A SOCIAL AND STRATEGIC GAME literally only because she didn't happen to stumble upon a poorly hidden idol or advantage or some ****ing **** like that.

[JerseyWins]

Cirie... Survivor legend :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Not to mention that the jury couldn't contain themselves when that was...... not exciting gameplay? It was just people collecting their winnings after a scavenger hunt :shrug:

[EspeonBB]

:( :( :(

Her elimination is really BS. At least she got a standing ovation from the jury and the studio audience :love:

[Calderyon]

Lol, Cirie out in 6th place, because everyone else is safe. Bye, Cirie. You´re a 4th time loser now.

This started off great for me. Not really fussed about who wins now. But then again, Sarah win would be quite a bummer. Now that i think about, she should really have gone on that.

[EspeonBB]

If Sierra wasn't an idiot and didn't give her advantage to Sarah then she would've gone home :(

[Jack_]

What an absolute waste, highlighting just how absurd it is to have so many idols/advantages. Even more annoying that Sarah would've gone

I can tell this finale is going to be a disaster for me

[reece(:]

If Sierra wasn't an idiot and didn't give her advantage to Sarah then she would've gone home :(

Sierror ruins another season?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Lol, Cirie out in 6th place, because everyone else is safe. Bye, Cirie. You´re a 4th time loser now.

This started off great for me. Not really fussed about who wins now. But then again, Sarah win would be quite a bummer.

Your vendettas against Sandra and Cirie have been alarming this season tbh

[reece(:]

How can someone even hate Cirie?! :s

[JerseyWins]

Even more annoying that Sarah would've gone
That's the worst part about this for sure. :fist:

However, entertaining TC though.

[EspeonBB]

Sandra and Cirie were the only contestants to get applauded on their way out

True legends :clap1:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Cirie pulling off another 3-2-1 vote on her way out is still pretty impressive.

[reece(:]

Queen of having no votes cast against her :clap1:

[Jack_]

Mario Lopez is hosting a gameshow about Candy Crush? :umm2:

[JerseyWins]

Wtf at this immunity run for Brad. :facepalm:

[JerseyWins]

Ugh Sarah surviving off of that legacy advantage and Cirie going in such a bs way has made me lose a lot of interest in this finale despite the strong start.

And I'm pretty sure Troyzan & Tai have no shot to win so I'm pretty unmotivated for this finish tbh.

[JerseyWins]

Sarah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalways in the middle

[JerseyWins]

Brad is a lunatic. I think he gets it from Monica. #WWMD

[Macie Lightfoot]

good lord how is it not even 9:00 and how is there still another IC and another TC and theeeeen the final TC
