Quote | Reply
Survivors Ghost Island starts on February 28th.

I’m willing to be beat by Normm again.

For those of you unfamiliar with our survivor pool.

We pick a contestant every week and if your choice is voted off you are out of the game. Last LR member with picks left wins LR bragging rights.

Yeah, I heard several seasons ago, that most contestants are not from the application pool anymore, but that they go out and get people who match what the want to cast. I think this is part of the reason, I hear more and more people stop watching.

I got that impression a few years ago when they had that god awful Parvati "model boxer" - that was a shit season. Last few seasons they seem to have a decent variety.

Don't know about that. Gonzales is smoking. But apparently really unlikeable. Almost picked her based on the hot girls not getting voted out early theory.

Exactly what I thought. If I was sitting there I'd have switched my vote.

Glad Donathan got to stay. He's at least entertaining if not strong or really smart. He truly seems to be enjoying himself. The shot of him considering he was first out was heartbreaking.

Actually one of the competitors was spot on with her decision to keep Donathon - stating he could be easily manipulated and an easy vote for them, so keep him around. Which makes sense.

I always wonder if some of the tribe swaps are spur of the moment producer calls as opposed to pre-planned. Producers obviously want to avoid one tribe getting totally wiped out, like that one season where a tribe lost every challenge and were down to two people before the merge. Did they see something with the Malolo tribe that worried them so much they thought they needed to stop the bleeding?

I think not only some of the swaps, but the timing of some of the challenges are adjusted as they go to take advantage of social situations, weather, things like that. After this many seasons, I would think they have a pretty good read on how to best time some of these things.

Totally agree. Once again I'm not impressed with characters or game play really. Getting a bit formulaic even though they are trying to shake it up with the "don't repeat the bad choices" theme.

I was just mentioning to my husband the numbers and when they would do a tribe shake up. THAT caught me off guard. I thought they usually they wait until only 13 left...we are at 15 now right?

The show keeps picking "contestants" that claim to have studied the game, be huge fans, etc, yet every season people do the exact same thing. Early on when the challenges include physical requirements, they vote out the strong people because they will be threats later in the game. Then they lose all the challenges and being at risk of being voted out. Many of the late-game challenges are more about balance and mental strength than about pure physical strength, so I think their thinking is flawed. Keep the early tribe strong so you don't go to tribal, then beat the others with the mental game after the merge.

Or am I looking at this wrong? I don't remember ever really seeing that strategy used, has it worked in the past? They always talk about keeping the tribe strong, then usually vote out the strength. Although, as others pointed out previously, last night's vote didn't show much actual ability in challenges...

It's become a bit too formulaic. The really weak people are vulnerable in week 1, possibly week 2, then everyone goes after the strong players, the really shit ones are kept around for as long as possible because everyone wants to have them in the final with them. James should have been kept around. I'm also getting a bit bored of the challenges, it's virtually all a physical challenge then a puzzle. Not much variety.

I've noticed that also... It use to seem that tribes focused on keeping what they thought was was the "best/strongest" tribe together for a longer period of time. It seems like that is not the case as much anymore. ( A person like Donathan I thought may either be voted out immediately or if he made it through his first tribal would probably last long into the game. That's why he wasn't an early pick for me but shifted to what I thought was a safe pick later in the game. )

I couldn't stand Bradley, happy to see him gone! It also makes the game much more interesting that players are willing to stop voting based on original Malolo/Naviti alliances. We'll see if that bites them next week.

He got to be an ass. But if I were on an island with a bunch of dumbasses with little food and less sleep I may not be very pleasant to be around. Maybe I should make that my casting pitch. 'Once I am tired and hungry, watch out.'

I think this is where the idol/advantage count stands:
Immunity Idols - Dominic, Wendell, Michael
Advantages - Kellyn with the vote steal, Domenic with the legacy advantage

Domenic is smart, except in his feud with Chris, and has an idol and an advantage. He's looking like a good shot for the final.

It's interesting how little awareness he had of his impact on his tribe mates. It's one thing to be an ass because you're hungry and tired, but it's another to be so lacking in self-awareness that you don't realize everyone on your tribe is fed up with you.

Yes I was glad to see him go but for our games sake I wish it was one of my pervious picks. They have been mixing things up so much it makes it hard to get into a flow for picking. I will be glad after the merge and if I get through that round then at least there will be no more shuffling around and mixing of people.

In what may go down as the second dumbest move in survivor history, Chris goes home with an idol in his pocket.

How could he not see that coming?

I am almost out of choices. Not one of my choices has been voted out.

He was sure he was running things, and not one person voted the way he wanted. And didn't play the idol that was only good for 2 weeks after Dominick played his. He truly is an idiot.

Good episode. Yeah that Chris is such a pompous ass I am actually not surprised he did that. He was so arrogant and so self unaware. I was a little nervous about the Mike pick when right at the beginning they talked about targeting him. I was also afraid he might go home with an idol in his pocket. But he seems to be playing very well for an 18 year old. I think I'm down to six pics. and still have only one of my old pics voted off.

Well played Michael.

Though I needed him to go. None of my picks have been voted off.

Yeah, I forgot he had an idol when I made the pick. Much safer than I thought at the time.

You were probably sweating bullets until he pulled the idol. Yeah I was really hoping one of my picks would be voted off ( looked like Wendell could have gone ) then Libby, Libby, Libby. I have to think about next week... may have to go with a timed risky move.

I liked her post vote clip. 'How did they know I was lying?' Ummm, the four other people saying they heard you say it would be a good place to start.

Yeah she imploded quickly. She wanted to make a big move... she did. She moved herself right into the jury.

Looks like they are voting off two next week. One pick for the episode?

I only have two picks left so I am biased to only one pick next week.

It wasn't such a bad move - lots of people on the bottom try this exact same thing when it comes down to 3 or 4 of the other tribe/alliance.

Her problem was twofold:
  1. She didn't know about the secret alliance between Dom/Wendell and Donathan/Laurel.
  2. After her plan got out she doubled down on it, which made everything worse.


Now, I'd argue that she would have been better approaching them one on one (ideally via Michael since he was most desperate), and floating it as a hypothetical rather than as a giant move.

One is good... specially with so few picks left for us. Give us a chance to play longer. I think we had this come up before but earlier in the game and decided to go with one vote.

Yes, I don't know if he realizes but he put his name down 51 minutes into the show. I only realized because I almost forgot myself and put my pick down 3 minutes before it started. So congrats!

Yeah I put the name down as I sat down to watch on tape delay.

So I hadn't watched but I was late

I’ll take the win even if a little tainted.

Donation is either the smartest player ever or the dumbest. I have no idea how he has survived this long.

Hope they find a new gimmick for next season.

Ghost island has been a boring bust so far.

He has survived because everyone knows he can't beat anyone at anything. Can't win a challenge, can't get any votes. I want that guy at the end with me.

Not enough risk at Ghost Island. Last night the advantage was 3/4.

Yeah, I had a feeling if Donathan didn't get voted off very early he would last to the end because of the reasons you mentioned... Although he did a good job at pushing a lot of buttons. If you act to erratic and piss to many people off they may get rid of you anyway. Domenick is a cool customer though... I think it's his to lose if he can get to the final three.

I thought the ghost island mechanism worked well back when it removed a player from tribal council. The player was essentially immune and the tribe dynamics potentially shifted depending on who was safe. It made for an interesting ability to protect someone while potentially upsetting the Navitti alliance vote count.

Then they used it like that for a whole two tribals before making it an idol/advantage factory.
