Oh man I have this once in a lifetime opportunity, should I try to get back into the game when thrown a lifeline or just quit?!?! What a tough decision.
I like the bald dude. He's smart and gets the social aspects of the game. He's my early pick. LMAO @ Keith. You get onto Survivor, get bounced in the second tribal and arent leaping to get back in the game? pffft
He was asking God for guidance. God might have told him to give up on his dream of playing Survivor and quit and return to the scorn and ridicule of your friends and family.
He was a few years younger than me but I went to HS, played football, and went to church with dan. Wasnt very likeable back then, and he's insufferable on social media now. Never really talk to him, but we did get in some lame argument on FB about some police shooting a year or so ago. He didnt take kindly to my opinion that you should have to have more than a HS diploma to be an officer
Had to look it up. While being nicknamed Wardog, now gives me some pause - yeah that's who I was thinking about. I didnt notice him in the first ep, and in this one, I thought he was being pretty rational about keith vs wentworth ect. Made a point of trying to get his way without being over bearing about it , so he doesnt turn into a target.
Red head girl talking strategy about getting Joe out with him right behind her was hilarious. Poor Joe will never stand a chance in this game. He's too perfect.
hiding/stealing the tool that gives your tribe fire which provides food and sustenance in a game that its so vital is inexcusable on top of that it looks like shes about to release the chickens next week, and if she does that holy hell would I lose my mind
Anyone who defends chickens is a dumbass. Chickens are the scum of the earth animals. They're shitty shitty creatures and they are really delicious so its a win-win to kill and eat them.
Nobody losing their shit on her for releasing the chickens? Fuck the social game. Just imagine being the type of person that she is in that setting. I'd openly hope for her death. Daily.
I take back my positive forecast for Wardog. Dude is way over playing. Also Im quite envious of people like Wendy, who are happy no matter what.
I think they did a really poor job casting Wendy. She seemed just happy to be on the show (I think she said something to that extent during her first tribal), and didn't really have an interest in actually playing the game. I'm in a fantasy league and have Wardog, Wendy, and Gavin. Looks like Gavin is my only hope.
Wardog is impressively bad at challenges for someone who appears to be so fit. Absolutely nothing athletic about him. The Kama tribe was so stacked, not only with Super Joe, but Aurora and Julia who crushed the physical elements too.
Wardog reminds me of a buddy from law school. In peak physical condition because he works out all day every day, but if you throw a football at him, he alligator arms the shit out of it and has no idea what he’s doing. Doesn’t take atheticism to be in shape.
They showed Keith and Wendy raising the flag shortly after they got back to the Edge of Extinction Island. You could also tell they did some poor editing in their interviews. During the show they had interviews with a couple of them talking about sending someone right back to the Edge of Extinction but the tribe members didn't actually know that was still a thing until after Tribal council.
Does getting voted out help Joe in this format? He basically has to win every challenge anyway so now he has one challenge that he has to win at 6. So nothing really changes. The thing that might make this better for him than staying in the game is that he gets the added benefit of schmoozing with the jury.
I was thinking the same thing. Not a good play to vote out a strong competitor when you know they have to complete a challenge to get back in. Save that for when you know EoE is over.
The 6 played their hand way too early imo, especially knowing how many idols could be in play. Now the lines are drawn and Kelly, Devins and Lauren all have idols. That being said, this season sucks. Not many people to really root for. Extinction Island is dumb. And letting them have ANOTHER chance to come back in the game? Fuck that. This isn’t Survivor anymore. It’s the producers keeping the vets around for more TV time.
I will admit that I did not have full focus while watching this episode but did anyone else think this episode seemed out of sorts and confusing? I am not sure if it was the editing or something else, it was weird to follow. Wendy and Keith deciding to go home literally seconds after showing them jumping for joy at staying. Almost felt like the producers took them aside and said "yea you arent winning, so we going to ask you to leave". Maybe I am the only one but this episode seemed off.
I agree. They have the challenge to see which one gets back in the game. That person joins the merged tribe and they leave. Jeff then tells the Edge of Extinction people that are left that they are still in the game.(the merged tribe is not aware of this). In the interviews they show, some talk about sending the returner out of the game and some talk about sending him back to Edge of Extinction. You can see at tribal that several seemed surprised to see the remaining Edge of Extinction tribe members there as the jury and also about the information that they would still have a shot to return.
This is why they shouldn't do mixed seasons. It's not survivor at it's best and it's not fair to the returning players. I've always thought that they try to bring people back too often. You need lots of seasons with entirely new players in order to find more stars.
I cant decide what triggers me more. Victoria wearing a wool cap in a hot tropical rainforest, or Ron wearing a vest and tie in a hot tropical rainforest.
I hate editing fake suspense into the show. The edit made it seem like Wentworth and Lindsay could be at risk, but in actuality they knew they were safe because they didn't play their idols. The editors left the audience out of key conversations so that the tribal could be "shocking." I know it would make the show less exciting but I would like to see all the interactions play out and have more of the drama decided on the beaches.
unfortunately this has become the norm for the show. I honestly rarely pay close attention to anything that happens back at camp after the immunity challenge. What is showed rarely actually plays out and this season its been especially true. The 30 second "Last time on survivor" provides more information than the last 15 minutes of an episode. With that said, I think tribal councils have gotten more interesting. See alot more people openly scrambling and having whisper conversations while its going on. Those parts are always interesting. I think the show could do alot better job of building suspense while also showing real gameplay.
Anything Ron does is the clear answer. That dude is the worst and it was great to see him knocked down a few pegs. I've been critical of The Wardog but he did manage to create a divide and break the game open a bit. I don't blame Rick for not wanting to work with his old tribe that kept voting for him but being way too open about it seems like it's going to cost him.
Watch out for Julia. She listened to Wardog, who she can't stand, and recognized that there might be some validity to his narrative. She immediately talked with Ron to suss out whether or not she had any influence and when he shut her down, her mind was made up that it's time to make a move. She might be a low key version of Sandra with better physical skills.
