So the host sucks, Avi sucks, Mike sucks, Tom sucks, Lee would suck if he weren't invisible and Jak suuuuuuuucks... this season's going absolutely swimmingly

Thank god we have Shay on hand to use her final voting confessional to tell Mike he has stinky hair <3

This season is probably good and Jak is probably a legend.

How many episodes have there been so far? (and I'm assuming 14-ish total?)

VanessaFeltz. 01-06-2017 05:39 PM

The host: Spell the things you cant get

I hope Mike goes home at the tribal council so Jak will go back to camp scrambling alone after he ignored other people and sheeped mike&lee when they were thinking about cutting him at some point anyways.

starry 07-06-2017 09:25 PM

Never liked Mike and happy with the latest developments. Though it was hardly a surprise Shannon didn't side with the alpha males, why would that really help her game?

VanessaFeltz. 09-06-2017 09:22 PM

Tom is cancelled for having a model girlfriend

bye i hope you get voted out but still spend the next 20 days away from your gf

VanessaFeltz. 09-06-2017 09:23 PM

just like that tom's fan base drops down to zero

YAS at jak dragging at the reward challenge < 3
YAS at Barb's strategy of culling the straight men

I'm actually enjoying this way more than the recent US seasons! They show far more of the general goings-on around camp and the scheming and stuff instead of the 60 seconds of filler in between the comps and tribal that you get on Jeffrey's Survivor hosted by The Probst with special guest Jeff Probst. :laugh:

That Barb though.............sails along doing ****-all all Season and then this! What an actual and absolute twat!!!!:fist: <<< Me to 'Barb'.

PS; Mike's 'up and down' facial expressions when he thought he was going and then he thought his plan had worked and then he realized it hadn't after all were classic!!! :joker: Only thing he's done that i've enjoyed at all. Hope someone defeats him at Lonesome Cove!

starry 15-06-2017 05:32 PM

I think it's ok so far, it's much more similar to the Australian version. In this case those who are preaching about honour and being the good guys are being attacked earlier (Mike and Sala).

JTM45 19-06-2017 06:54 AM

If there's one thing i hate on Survivor it's those people who do practically nothing, get saved just as they were about to get evicted and then, two episodes later, after stabbing those who saved them in the backs get an almighty ego explosion and hold court from a hammock!
Anyone watching will surely get that i'm referring to the slug-like pensioner that is 'Barb'!!! What a bitch this woman truly is!!!:bored:

If people will insist on excusing the back-stabbing and generally morally bankrupt gameplay seen on Survivor series' Worldwide by saying ''it's all part of the game'' then i hope those people will be OK when the winner starts getting their prize paid to them in Monopoly money!

I've always thought that this was probably the reason why Survivor never really took off here in the UK. We used to be far more loyal and hold our honesty and morals in high regard. That being said though, it might do better in our current ''Me,me, me and **** everyone else'' climate.

I've always questioned whether Survivor might not be the show for me! :laugh:

starry 19-06-2017 04:19 PM

Probably isn't your kind of show. I do find the whole 'honour' stuff, now coming from Arvi, rather hypocritical as they are all in it for themselves. In Big Brother people keep too much in their cliques for there to be enough gameplay.

Latest ep (13)
Spoiler:


I really don't buy this line that they were waiting on Nate and Barb to decide, them and Jack were 3 against the others 4, so that line actually made little sense to me. It's like the editors are trying to build up Barb, but it's not giving the full picture.

RI challenge - just seemed all luck, Sala got most of the symbols on their first appearance. I think he was likely to lose a memory challenge v Mike anyway, but with the luck element (too small a playing area?) it was over very quickly.

starry 20-06-2017 07:15 PM

ep 14
Spoiler:


Didn't understand the point of targeting Barb, for one thing she was unlikely to threaten Mike at RI. She is being built up an awful lot in the edit.

Shannon started going on about honour, and I like that those people do get sent to RI. Just got Avi left who says doesn't like playing the game.

Yeah, i've come to that conclusion myself many times but seeing as i've watched every Season of US Survivor and pretty much every International Season i've also come to the conclusion that there's something (not quite sure what. The lovely tropical locations maybe ?) that keeps me coming back for more!

I think it's just that i've always been all about loyalty, honour and all of that good stuff and i find it very difficult to switch it on and off. :shrug:

starry 21-06-2017 09:05 AM

It can start with alliances but it becomes an individual game, so you can potentially get the best of both.

VanessaFeltz. 26-06-2017 05:13 PM

Spoiler:

now that shannon and shay are out just cancel the show already.
episode 16

starry 26-06-2017 07:30 PM

I am SORRYY :(

Headie 27-06-2017 11:46 AM

This show sucks lmao, just skimmed through it, there's no way I could've followed it properly the whole season.

Here for Shay winning Redemption Island again

starry 07-07-2017 11:51 AM

So it's finished, they had 4 episodes in a few days.

Really limped to its end for me, no competitions in the final episode.

Spoiler:

Nate even apparently said he was happy at being fourth, and just self eliminated in effect


Way too much in the speeches and the questions/statments about being an example, playing with honour etc. It's like the Australian version taken to extreme. Shay even ignored gameplay in her questions. Shannon hinted at least in a question that there was more than whether you were a 'good' person. I guess Sala tried to have some impact at the tribal, though he of course had nothing to say about gameplay.

All this I believe was fostered by the producers who wanted to follow the Australian season, but they forgot to put more gameplayers in to mix it up more. Too many gameplayers in this even reneged on it as the season went on, Shannon and even Shay by the end. That superfan who said she would play a villain if needed was missed, but I'm not sure how many had strong potential in this cast.

It tells you everything that they are talking about Barb being the master strategist of the season lol. And the host talking about it representing how kiwis would play, blah.

MB. 08-07-2017 09:05 PM

So I just looked at Wikipedia to find out what happened this season and... wow, I'm glad I didn't bother watching past the merge :umm2:

reece(: 08-07-2017 09:31 PM

2 RI returnees? Mess.
