S34: What do you think were the "Game Changers" actual game changing moves/actions?

[reece(:]

My thoughts (some serious straw grasping):

Sandra: Won twice
Cirie: Got off the couch and played? (Jeff says this everytime) or convincing Erik to give up immunity
Varner: Gave up immunity for peanut butter then voted out
Ciera: "She voted out her mom!"
Andrea: Blindsided two times/First woman to return from RI?
Malcolm: Orchestrating Phillip blindside? (Even though it didn't change the game) or Surviving Matsing
Ozzy: Asks to be voted out as a strategy
Tony: Spyshack to gather intel
Sarah: Person with the most power lets it go to their head and gets blindsided
Caleb: Nearly died trying to carry the tribe forward
Tai: Let go his personal love of nature to make sneaky moves/uproot plants
Hali: Free spirited? Went against her alliance to save Nina?
Sierra: Put emotions aside and went back to the tribemates that previously deceived her
Aubry: (According to Jeff) An example of a bitter jury not awarding the rightful winner
Troyzan: IDK
Michaela: IDK
Debbie: IDK
Brad Culpepper: IDK
Zeke: IDK
J.T.: Gave his idol away then blindsided

[MB.]

Sierra: "She rolled on a barrel! She changed the very essence of this game!"
Troyzan: "This was his island! He said it enough that he changed the game!"
Zeke: "He's a millennial! And a gay! He changed this game!"
Brad: "He's a Game Changer, you know? He changed this game by being a Game Changer! No further questions"

Probably idk

Lets be real.

The only game-changers were;

Sandra, Tony, Cirie, J.T., kinda Ciera [although this is so exaggerated, her mom was being voted out regardless so she went along with the crowd, it's not like she was the reason her mom went/she voted out her mom.. and JT were for dumb reasons.]

Still looking forward to watching some of the people though

Debbie: most occupations held by a Survivor contestant ever

[Calderyon]

Debbie: First totally bonkers/acting to be bonkers to play a strategic game?

Zeke: First transgender to play the game?

Michaela: First Black woman/or woman to be a major tribal challenge player? She was best in her tribe on those. The controversial tribal exit probably has something to do with as well.

[Calderyon]

Was Brad's season the first one with the Survivors playing with their loved ones twist? Might be that.

Tasha? And at least Tasha was not a bitter show off like Michaela

Michaela is only reurning because of the way she left, and the producers want her to do the same. :fc: its first tribal council.

Like someone else pointed out, only a handful of them can be classed as game changers; Tony, Sandra, Cirie.

I mean I think Sierra is hot and nice to have some nice to look at and all but even I can admit she was not a game changer :joker:

I think like Hali and Caleb to me are the big question marks, at least Sierra had the potential and power to change the game on her season. These 2 did **** all

Idk if he deserves it (especially with the "game changers" theme) but I think Caleb can do well with this second chance. He'll always be a comp threat after the merge and people might want him out for that reason alone but I think people knowing that he's loyal will make them want to work with him. And it's possible that after the merge they could try to use him to beat the other more strategic and dangerous comp threats in the game so that they don't win immunity.

Yeah Caleb has got soooo much potential that he was unfortunately not able to get a real chance to show during his season. He seemed to have both a good comp/social game from what we saw and he could be a strong contender to win imo.

Caleb is not a great strategic player, he showed in bb16 he was too loyal and trusted what anyone told him. Yes being loyal is good but he could be told to go swim with sharks and he would do it.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Wasn't Caleb kind of on the outs of Beauty anyway? The girls were suspicious of Nick and were working towards using Tai to get rid of him, which would then leave Caleb in the worst position on that tribe. I know the show wants to push forth the narrative that Caleb had so much potential and was robbed because he's a hunky dude who was medevaced for Trying Too Hard but I don't buy it. Especially since it's the same fandom that was outraged that Missy wasn't ejected for fracturing her ankle bc IF SHE CAN'T COMPETE IN CHALLENGES HOW CAN SHE DARE STAY IN THE GAME?!?!?!?

The two shows aren't really comparable even if there's a correlation in the game side of it. Being loyal isn't a bad thing, it got Ken to the finale. :shrug: You could find bad things about anyone's gameplay so this kinda seems like it's reaching.
