Survivor: GENERAL THREAD
I wanted to post something Survivor related but realized there's no general thread about Survivor. Each thread is about a particular season or votes for hottest, best, etc.
Given that who knows when/if the show will come back, here's a general thread to post all things Survivor.
I won't ruin the OP with my content post, so it will come next.
Enjoy and come on in guys!
I was too good. They had to get me out.
And the only reason the other good players didn’t get out was because they had immunity.
Hopefully lives up to the hype
I'm excited!
Do we know the players?
Tony, Cirie and Parvati from US Survivor

Plus David and George!!!! Sweeeeeet.
I also see it will be available on Paramount+.
What will happen is the 0 vote finalist will now be in final two and the finale is obvious
Because it isn't already?
And part of the strategy that I enjoyed in previous seasons was the fact that someone had to be convinced to take you to final two. As we've seen before, sometimes people make really stupid decisions in that scenario.
Can we name people who got washed out in fourth due to fire that might have won FTC? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

What I think is the full list;
S10 Jenn; Tom would have almost certainly still won final 3 immunity and taken Katie
S12 Cirie; Aras still wins final 3 immunity takes Cirie who probably wins
S13 Sundra; Same as Becky gets 0 votes at FTC
S17 Matty; wins the season if he wins fire
S30 Rodney; Mike still wins
S32 Cydney; Michelle probably still wins
S35 Devon; Mess of a final 3 with Chrissy and Ryan. Heard arguments for all three wining but I think Chrissy is the favourite.
S36; Angela; Dominik wins unanimously
S37; Kara; Nick still wins
S38; Devons; wins the season if he wins fire
S39; Lauren; Close but Tommy probably still wins
S40; Sarah; wins the season if she wins fire
S41; Heather; Erika still wins
S42; Jonathon; Maryanne still wins
S43; Jesse; wins the season if he wins fire
S44; Carson; Close but I personally think Yamyam probably still wins
S45; Katurah; Dee still wins
S46; Liz; Kenzie still wins
S47; Teeny; Rachel still wins
So out of 19 fire making challenges I have only 4 who definitely win the season if they win fire and one (Cirie) who probably wins. 14 the winner remains unchanged

Devens?
Stole this from Survivor reddit - 27 out of 32 3 person FTC had a 0 vote finalist
These are the 5 where everyone got at least a single vote
Always preferred a final two myself, but failing that at least a pure final four round.
Survivor is supposed to be hard to win and a fine needle to thread.
In the current format it's more likely you get situations like we saw this season where the last time it was even possible to vote out the eventual winner was the final 9.
Has anyone watched Squid Game 2 yet? The second game(s) they play feel like a modern Survivor challenge, only major anxiety inducing because of what’s on the line.
Is this David guy as good as he thinks he is? I'd never heard of him because I've only seen one season of Aussie Survivor. But I watched Deal or No Deal Island last night and even Parvati seemed to be star struck.
I’ve never watched Australian Survivor. No matter how good David might be, Parvati will break him.
Spoiler
That Luke guy was a ****ing moron.
Spoiler
My prediction is the banker is Jordan.

That he didn't take the offer with a 2/3 chance of winning was just felony stupid. I don't know where they got all these people but I suspect David and Parvati will run right over them.
Also I don't think that the poker player shouting out the probabilities was a good way to hide her identity as she claimed she wanted to do.

My Survivor David summary as someone who's watched both his seasons;
Spoilers for those seasons below
Spoiler
1) His first season was champions vs contenders (a sort of David vs Goliath theme with him on Goliath tribe)
-Initially on the outs against a majority alliance of 'athletes/sportspeople' he did some good work pre merge to blow up the alliance
-Then swapped into a 7-2 minority and did some good work Surviving 3 tribals to sneak into the merge
-Ended up as a too big a player/threat early merge and was taken out 10th of 24
2) Second season all stars
-Started in the majority alliance while secretly being close with the leader of the minority alliance, pulling off a similar move to JT and Tom taking out Cirie in HvV
-Swapped into a 5-4 majority and essentially turned on his original alliance for the original minority/other tribe
-Said new alliance pretty much ran the whole post merge with David seen as the head of the snake and having a bit of a Boston Rob redemption island style run with immunities and idols earning him the nickname 'the golden god' from his castmates
-His immunity wins included final 4 and final 3 rounds and he then demolished an objectively strong strategic player 8-1 in a jury vote
All in all he's definitely a very strong and active 'out in front player' but similar to Boston Rob is always someone that should have struggles with threat level management
Spoiler
That he didn't take the offer with a 2/3 chance of winning was just felony stupid. I don't know where they got all these people but I suspect David and Parvati will run right over them.
Also I don't think that the poker player shouting out the probabilities was a good way to hide her identity as she claimed she wanted to do.
Spoiler
I'm not sure what was worse. Not taking that offer or not understanding the case game and not choosing a case from the team with the highest value cases. He had two chances to stay in the game and ****ed them both up. David also got cocky in that game, and it almost cost him.
And I agree. Just like Boston Rob in season 1, I expect David/Parvati to be around until the end or close to it.
