Survivor 34: Game Changers - Mamanuca Islands

[reece(:]

The past few episodes have been soooo rushed. They need to fix these pacing issues

[Jack_]

Tai is such a ****ing mess, wastes an idol on Aubry and then considers voting her out

[reece(:]

This final bunch is so dark after we had so much promise too :unsure:

[JerseyWins]

Troyzan!!!!!!!! :joker:

[EspeonBB]

The jury's reaction :joker: Troyzan isn't winning ****

[Jack_]

screaming why would you ever say yes even if you believed it

[reece(:]

Why was he even brought back? :huh:

[Jack_]

Yep, this is a disaster

The nightmare final three is in sight

[EspeonBB]

Aubry got such a terrible edit this season </3 She deserved better

[JerseyWins]

Finally the first vote game changer Troyzan has received. Mastermind who beats anyone in the F3! :clap2:

[reece(:]

Brad and Troyzan are such wastes. It's blindingly obvious who's won

[Macie Lightfoot]

So this final four is......... not good at all. Aubry wasn't even THAT good season bc she was underedited to ****, but she was far and away the class of the field.

[reece(:]

Rooting for Tai now I guess?

[JerseyWins]

Aubry going is pretty satisfying. She was almost as irrelevant as Troyzan without being as endearing as Troyzan. :joker:

[JerseyWins]

Chances of winning though IMO:

Sarah: 90%
Brad: 9%
Troyzan/Tai: 1% combined

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh okay I guess camp life scenes don't exist anymore

[EspeonBB]

I hope Pres Sarah can pull it out (although I don't really like her). Pretty sure Troyzan & Tai aren't winning and Brad winning would be terrible

[reece(:]

Aubry going is pretty satisfying. She was almost as irrelevant as Troyzan without being as endearing as Troyzan. :joker:

Not endearing

[Jack_]

The slide looks fun at least

[Jack_]

Yawn

[EspeonBB]

If only Brad was voted out over Andrea

[JerseyWins]

Wanting to take Sarah instead of Tai to the F3. :facepalm: Brad sooo deserves to lose.

That jury needs to see how well Troyzan played this season to only get 1 vote against him all season long.

[Jack_]

The BB19 advert exemplifies everything that's wrong with modern day BBUS

[reece(:]

snooze @ Brad's immunity run

[JerseyWins]

Brad cementing himself as the worst of this season.

[EspeonBB]

Omg Brad is an idiot

[Macie Lightfoot]

The BB19 advert exemplifies everything that's wrong with modern day BBUS

yeah BBUS is one of those shows that I don't admit to anyone in real life that I watch...

[JerseyWins]

Troyzan the modern day Sandra!

[EspeonBB]

Not her comparing Troyzan to Sandra

Bye

[EspeonBB]

I need the jury to roast Brad and Troyzan

[JerseyWins]

Pull through for the win Troyzan!!!

Sarah winning wouldn't be the end of the world and feels like the inevitable but wow such a bland winner and Brad winning would be awful but I'm kinda doubting it now. :think:

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm still amazed at the assessment of Sandra's game being "she won twice bc she didn't piss anyone off" bc that just isn't remotely true at all...

[Jack_]

Tai kinda sealed his own fate by dragging Brad (:love:) because from Sarah's perspective it's a vote for her and not him, and he can turn the jury against him

Anyway this final three is appalling, one of the worst I've ever seen on a reality show. I had four favourites in the final 7 and they've gone back to back :umm2: I can only tolerate Troyzan now which lol, I guess if Brad loses to Sarah after being a complete twat it's a small mercy

[Jack_]

yeah BBUS is one of those shows that I don't admit to anyone in real life that I watch...

:joker:

[JerseyWins]

Tai kinda sealed his own fate by dragging Brad (:love:) because from Sarah's perspective it's a vote for her and not him, and he can turn the jury against him
Yup and not to mention Troyzan would be a vote for Brad too.

[Macie Lightfoot]

soooooo...... what is this

[Jack_]

tf is this, just let the discussion be organic :umm2:

I swear Jeff's definitions were all in the wrong order also

[JerseyWins]

I'm just looking ahead to the reunion. Can't wait to see / hear from the robbed pre-jury boots, especially Tony after losing him way, way, way too soon.

[Jack_]

Tony would've saved this finale <3

Hopefully next time he comes back he learns from this and lays low until the merge, you can't play the game he did twice

[EspeonBB]

Wait so they're not having jury speeches anymore? wtf

[Jack_]

I can't get over how awful this final three is

What a waste of time

[EspeonBB]

lmfao Debbie cackling :love:

[Jack_]

****ING SCREAMING AT DEBBIE'S CACKLING DRAG HA :joker::joker: <3333

[JerseyWins]

"without her you and Troyzan would've just bumped into each other" :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Michaela's old school question :love:

[EspeonBB]

Michaela dragged Brad <3

[Jack_]

Brad's failure is hysterical

[JerseyWins]

Is Troyzan going to even be invisible in this final TC? :joker:

[JerseyWins]

Lmaoooooooo GIVE THIS WIN TO TROYZAN!

[Jack_]

I'm living for all the drags on this pathetic final three

[Jack_]

Here for a tied vote and then Troyzan has to pick the winner :joker:

Even if that would be Brad

[JerseyWins]

Awww I was hoping that Brad threw away his chances and that the jury would be bitter towards Sarah so that Troyzan wins by default. But it looks like it's back to Sarah or Brad with a huge possibility of it being Sarah. She's done well during this so she does deserve it for sure.

NOT EVEN A SYMPATHY VOTE FOR TROYZAN? I'm DONE

Welp who was the third vote for Brad. I thought he only had Ozzy and Debbie

[reece(:]

Meanwhile

[EspeonBB]

I'm shocked Varner is at the reunion

[JerseyWins]

Troyzan more relevant in a fake F3 situation at the reunion than he was in the whole actual season :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Jack_]

That's great Jeff but the rule everyone wants to know is what happens in an uneven tie, i.e. 4-4-2 or 3-3-3

[Jack_]

Also I'm surprised Tai would've got that many votes, so now I'm more annoyed

[reece(:]

When are we going to hear from Sandra and Tony tho

[JerseyWins]

When are we going to hear from Sandra and Tony tho

[JerseyWins]

Let's pretend this season didn't happen and bring Tony & Sandra back for another.

[JerseyWins]

I'm all for this next season theme tbh. :clap1:

Desi seems pretty amazing :love:

[JerseyWins]

Poor Ciera, Tony & Caleb not even getting to say anything. :(

[Headie]

Skipped through most of that finale after the BS elimination of Cirie.

At least Brad didn't win I guess

[JerseyWins]

That finale did go to **** after Cirie's boot. Rushed af

[Dominic]

Tragic finale. Oh well atleast Sarah winning is ok

[reece(:]

That finale did go to **** after Cirie's boot. Rushed af

Mill vs Gen X teas

[Vladimir]

I'm glad that Officer Sarah beat Condescending Brad even though she was one of my least favorite contestants this season. Even the people that Sarrah got rid of realized that she was the better player. Brad's attitude towards Tai in the last episode was awful. :umm2:

My faves were Cirie, Michaela, Andrea and Aubry.

Anyway, this was my first season of Survivor and I loved it. It was rushed at times but I can see why it is still a hit after 34 seasons and why it is bigger than Big Brother in the US. It's more exciting and unpredictable and tribal councils are so messy unlike most ceremonies in BBUSA.

Looking forward to season 35! :D

[Wojtek]

Final four was awful, but I'm really happy that Officer Sarah won :love:

[EspeonBB]

I just watched the reunion and it was predictably tragic. Sandra only getting like 5 secs and then dedicating half of it to the Zeke/Varner stuff :bored:

lol @ Ozzy dragging Trump though. Perched for the Facebook catladies to turn against their fave

harrowing

[MB.]

I didn't mind the open discussion FTC, though largely only because it gave certain jury members more time to shine and meant that we didn't have to sit through another of Zeke's patronising jury speeches (after all, agreeing with Jeff Probst on anything is a likely sign of the apocalypse, so I won't sing its praises too much)

Other than that? It's nice to see that Brad turned up to the reunion cosplaying as Darryl Whitefeather. There. That's my final thought for Survivor: Game Changers. Insightful, I know.

[reece(:]

"I was waiting for the jury to pull out idols too, I was like damn you all got idols?!"

Cirie's ponderosa <3

[reece(:]

This Jessica Bland and Officer Sarah interaction :joker:

865608976175579136

[Calderyon]

Oh well, Monotone wins then. Congrats to her, i guess. It could be seen before the vote that most of the jury was on her side. And the edit of Brad being overly arrogant and sure of himself spoiled that he was going to end up losing. Troyzan edit or there lack off was a clear sign that he would be in third place.

[JerseyWins]

"I was waiting for the jury to pull out idols too, I was like damn you all got idols?!"

:joker: :joker: :joker: Cirie is so great :love:

[JerseyWins]

tribal councils are so messy unlike most ceremonies in BBUSA
Don't get too used to that. That's actually not normally the case with Survivor but this season just happened to have a bunch of great tribal councils.

[MB.]

Apparently Sarah convinced Brad to give her his wedding ring so she could emotionally blackmail him into staying loyal :joker: Shame the edit made her so dull, but Probst doesn't like female winners if they show any trace of personality

[Braden]

I'm watching the finale now.

Cirie's elimination is such a crock of ****.

[Macie Lightfoot]

the worst part is FB fraus on the Survivor page being all WELL SHE SUCKS AT CHALLENGES AND SAT ON HER FAT ARSE SO NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T HAVE AN IDOL, DUMB BITCH DESERVED TO GO HOME. EVERYONE ELSE EARNED THEIR SPOTS, SHE SHOULD JUSY GO BACK THE COUCH

[Braden]

They must've all had a collective meltdown at her live coronation :love:

[Braden]

Also, why did Brad decide to wear a sack during one the tribal councils?

[Braden]

I actually quite like this new jury/ftc format. It does kinda act as a proclomation that all winners need to be well-rounded, but also puts two fingers up to past winners that Jeff and co obviously think are undeserving...which is a bit ****ty.

[rk3388]

In retrospect this season had so much potential. Troyzan and Brad were two people I really didn't want to see play again, so of course the two bores made it to the end. I said at the beginning of the season I liked sarah but would only want to see her return if the rest of the cast was stronger (I.e not Sierra and Andrea making it that far in) and I'm sticking to that

[MB.]

I mean, yeah, I'd like the idea a lot, lot more if it weren't such a blatant attempt to somehow retroactively prevent Michele from winning

Actually, I think I've lost count of the new rules/twists etc that the show's introduced because of Michele. Why she wasn't a Game Changer I haven't a clue <3

[JerseyWins]

I don't think any of this has anything to do with Michele :shrug:

It's also basically the same exact thing as far as the format goes just not individual questions from everyone. However, the goat (Troyzan) got ignored just like the goat would with the other format.

[MB.]

Probst pretty much said after Kaoh Rong that he wanted to change how the jury/FTC worked because of bitter juries, so I think that particular result would factor into it somewhere... because otherwise, why switch things up now? Oh, right, they're all massive game changers...

[Calderyon]

Preventing a Michele win is a good thing.

[MB.]

Well it still happened <3

[Braden]

Tbf, I still can't envision Michele/Sophie/whoever not winning under this new format. I can see the idea and how they want to implicate but I don't think it reduces bitter jury members indefinitely.

[Calderyon]

Well it still happened <3

Sometimes bad things happen.

[EspeonBB]

I liked the way that the new way of doing FTC too. People like Zeke, Ozzy and Debbie were annoying but they would've been annoying under the old format too. I do find it funny they only introduced it because Jeff is still pressed over Michele winning when I'm pretty sure Michele would've won under the new format anyway :joker:

[Dominic]

Imagine thinking Michele didn't deserve to win in 2017.

[Braden]

I love how Brad was so over Jeff trying to make his point with the hypothetical Brad/Tai/Troyzan f3 :joker: I hate those hypothetical situations that he can't resist from doing at reunions.

[Calderyon]

Imagine thinking Michele didn't deserve to win in 2017.

Well, it happened only a year ago.

Bye at Troyzan exposing Cirie and getting ha eliminated.

[JTM45]

I was gutted at Sarah winning. I guess she played it like a cop. Dishonest, back-stabby and leaving the scene having pocketed the cash! :laugh:

The only one of the final three i'd have been pleased to see walking away with the cash was Troyzan but it was a pretty much impossible task convincing the jury that he'd played the best game. Nice guy though!

As to the good parts of the final/reunion...........weren't the ladies on the Jury looking beautiful (for the most part at least). I know Michaela is an all-weather natural beauty anyway but i particularly loved her hair and stuff at the reunion. Such a truly GENUINE Queen of Reality TV and life in general (unlike fakie, self-proclaiming, personality challenged, substance/skill-lacking pretenders like Ika Wrong!).
Hali and Andrea pretty much always look cute as Hell too and the more i see Aubry the more attractive i find her. She's always comes across as far more of an individual than the majority of people on this show and that only makes her more attractive to me. :love:
Cirie is just too fantastic for words!:worship: She was sooooooo robbed in the way she went out. If everyone but one person plays an idol of some sort they should all cancel each other out. It should also surely tell the producers that there are too many idols/advantages in the game if that situiation is even posible! :shrug:
Ozzy was bloody robbed too, in my opinion. :fist:

[JerseyWins]

Someone needs to do a "Best of Sarah Lacina" video so I can decide for sure whether I loved her, hated her or just thought she was very whatever: which is basically my current stance. She was pretty good early on... some legitimately funny confessionals IMO... then I'm not sure what happened. Like idk if she just got stale to me or if she stopped attempting monotone jokes that I could find unintentionally (or intentionally) funny. I'm literally not sure what it is but I think she just became full-on non-entertaining gamebot.

But another thing I do sort of like about her is that she's kinda like Tony's prodige :joker: Weird that they've now both won a season with tons of lying and backstabbing. Plus Tony said pre-season that if he doesn't win, it's going to be Sarah lol... :clap1:

Ozzy was bloody robbed too, in my opinion. :fist:
Next they're gonna have a situation where literally everyone plays an idol/advantage so no one can get any votes. I wonder what they would do though? Last person to play the advantage is out? Or no one goes / re-vote... Another weird potential scenario.

[reece(:]

Tony the oracle :clap1:

[Dominic]

Well, it happened only a year ago.

Exactly, it happened a year ago and I think people need to finally realize that Michele had an excellent social game, something Aubry lacked, which is exactly why she lost? :shrug:

[VanessaFeltz.]

im glad sophie did win over coach tho < 3

[Macie Lightfoot]

Borechele more like WINCHELE......x

(Tbh now i am a tad glad she won because probst is fuming < 3)

[Macie Lightfoot]

Rewatching the funale and I'm dying at Tai asking Brad if he realizes how he speaks to people, Brad defending it under the guise of "I won all these Challenges so therefore my intimidation tactics and bullying is justified" and Ozzy is sitting there earnestly nodding his head :rolleyes: :joker: what a ****ing douche (and yes I'm actually talking about Ozzy here, not even so much Brad)

[DouglasS]

The first season where the top 3 confessionals counts were female. [Think it's the first season where the top 2 were, but not entirely confident]

1st - Sarah - 45
2nd - Cirie - 39
3rd - Debbie - 32

Crazy how third place had the least confessionals from the top 11 contestants [thats over hald the players]

[rk3388]

I don't want to do it but do I need to bring up posts from the Koah Rong ranking thread where all of these Michele fans had her mid of the pack ?? She was an awful winner, I don't know if people are misremembering it or if it is an attempt to be "objective"

[Braden]

People might have had her 'middle of the pack', but there's no denying around the time of her win it seemed like people either loved her or hated her. Her win sparked much debate even on this forum with people saying she was boring and undeserving, but they inadvertently gave her so much attention and caused her to be such a controversial Survivor player to this day.

[MB.]

I'm not sure who you're referring to specifically, but I had her sixth in my overall rankings and that was simply due to the incredible strength of the cast (plus, her post-show social media performance has only helped solidify her place in my heart)

[Calderyon]

Already said all i had to say about the Michele win last year. Shouldn´t have happened and Aubry should have won.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Still amazes me that we're in 2017 and have had 34 seasons and there's still talk about undeserving winners and robbed finalists and all that BS.

[LemonJam]

I looooooved Aubry and I was really hoping she would win, buuuut I understand that Michelle built the social relationships to help her win. It's not rocket science.

Plus its not even like Michelle got massively shafted by her edit, she showed herself to be strategic throughout the season so I find it hard to understand how she's a bad winner. Aubry played a great game, Michelle just played better.

Pretty much this, I know Survivor fandom has hyped up Aubry/Michele as the new Russell/Natalie but it's possible to like both of them a lot :shrug: and there's literally no bad blood between Aubry and Michele and Aubry seems to be entirely over it herself so yeah

[Calderyon]

So i´d guess Troyzan and Sarah were much more closer than the edit suggests:

it makes me sad that Natalie Anderson was meant to be on this season but because of medical reasons she had to pull out and her spot went to Sierra. </3

Proof that there is a God

The fact Sierra replaced Natalie Anderson this season though...

[LukeB]

I actually enjoyed this season and I came into it thinking I will because I enjoyed the Kaoh Rong and Mil vs Gen.

Cirie being voted out receiving no votes at all was heartbreaking :( because she played an amazing game and was a deserving winner but thankfully Sarah who also played a great game won. Sarah wasn't the most entertaining person there but i enjoyed watching her play especially when she got rid of Sierra when Sierra said she will give Sarah the advantage. (which was a bit risky because that could have lost her a jury vote) I also like the new final tribal format. But yeah, the right one won out of the final 3 by far.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I don't think an open forum discussion is bad for FTC but I think it's very dangerous if it's facilitated by Jeff, not to mention how stupid the outwit outplay outlast jargon was

[VanessaFeltz.]

me as a juror during survivor game changers


There were 6 members of jury, but Junko Matsuo refused to vote for either Daisuke or Eri because she did not believe that either castaway was worthy of being the Sole Survivor.

A game changer

[JerseyWins]

We need a more proper returnee / All Stars season to happen. Give Tony & Sandra a chance to redeem their last placings, bring Rodney back (randomly want to see him again more than just about anyone :joker:), give Brenda another shot, etc.

[Calderyon]

Sandra´s already won twice, enough already.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I think Brenda is a dark horse for most overrated Survivor contestant ever? Like, people want her to be a ruthless black widow like Parvati in Micronesia and thus project a bunch of **** into her that they want to, but in reality she's just kinda aloof and unpleasant and not even all that captivating.

I kinda agree- although I did like her in Nicaragua, she got booted before she could make a lasting impression on me. She was pretty UTR in FvF2, and had some great moments. but the key is she had SOME great moments.

[Calderyon]

I agree on Brenda being overrated.
