Survivor: GENERAL THREAD

If this doesnt get them to nix the shot in the dark bs. Fire tokens were better

Rachel and Andy the only ones with any minority cred so they’re top 2 in the rankings.

I’ll stick with my prediction of Carol over Sue and Andy

Sol is a #GameChanger

I guarantee jurors in the future will wear more and more ostentatious ****

In terms of the new era editing trends. I have it as;

Gabe - Was bottom of my winner rankings due to his edit being extremely one note and also negative
Kyle - Way too under edited and one note to be a viable winner
Sue - Edit has fallen off a cliff. She's bascially not been on the show in the post merge outside of random 'f*** you Kyle' segments
Caroline - Still a dark horse winner contender but she needs edit to pick up quick, especially to be given some personal content, I still feel like I barely know her.

Genevieve - Edit has been 100% game botty. The classic final end boss the eventual winner takes down (Omar, Ricard, Maria etc)
Teeny - Getting the darling fallen angel edit, wouldn't be surprised if she loses fire

Sam - Fallen into the 'narrator of the season' archetype. They never win
Andy - Huge 0 vote finalist edit energy

Leaves Rachel who's had the perfect post merge winners edit so far.

I'd love for the rug to be pulled from under us and get a shock winner like we did in S41 and S43 but after 3 seasons in a row of the obvious winner winning I worry it will be the same again.

Seriously.

Very surprised woke survivor isn't outraged at Sue going blackface

Close call for professor Trelawney

I don't try to predict anything based on "edit". I'm a firm believer that the players drive the edit week to week, and in the new era of survivor, you shouldn't be a main character until at least F7. Any time you do so, you become the next target.

I think they all see Andy as this pathetic puppy, while he sees himself as a Doberman. His impression is he's crushing it because he's manipulating them all into underestimating him, but they have in fact estimated him exactly correctly.

A few rumours going round twitter tooday in regards to Survivor 50 which have apparently originated from Redmond (who has reliably leaked casts for years)

1) Nobody who has been on other shows will be on 50 - so would theortically rule out, Boston Rob, Tony, Hatch, Fairplay, Parvati, Sandra, Carolyn, Jeremy, Jay, Michelle, Cirie, Stephanie Lagrossa, Cassidy, Sarah Lacina, Danny, Tasha, Desi, Ben, Michaela, Shan, Chanelle, Chris Underwood and...Seabass
2) No winners- would notably rule out Yam yam, Dee and Maryanne
3) Nobody from season 44 has been called
4) Lots of pre mergers have been called

Seeing Sierra’s butthurt face every tribal is just glorious

Lmao Andy

Feels like we've gone from potentially having 4-5 viable winners to Rachel being a massive favourite after the last two weeks. She's had a great two weeks, especially tonight, and she still seems to have plenty people who will go before her with her positioning right now.

We don't need to see anyone on that list again desperately so I'm cool if that's the case. Kind of surprised they've called so many pre mergers and does make me wonder if it's going to be some sort of Second Chance 2.0 season with a mix of pre and post merge players.

Andy was right about the challenge beast not being that big a threat. Of course, no one listened to him because he's Andy

haha exactly

was a trip hearing him going off about variance and game theory **** though

yeah they're beating us over the head with her edit and I'm okay with it

she has an idol, a block a vote, and is part of 2 key threesomes in a 5 person majority

She's a good winner

-Using a sample size of 4 where he played 'the field' and won two
-Completely ignoring the other times he still won against 5/6 opponents
-Disregarding the fact the challenges are different & the relative strength of the field changes each challenge with other people going
-Disregards the fact he could be safe without winning an immunity (idol, fire making etc)

=6.25% of winning out to the final three. You love to see it

What a great episode for Rachel. Hoping she pulls through so we get a great winner.

Shocked if winner isn't Genevieve, Rachel, Teeny or Caroline.

Maybe in a Teeny/Caroline-Sue-Andy finale does Sue have some equity.

I don’t know why everyone touts Teeny. Maybe it’s her monotonous voice but she hasnt popped for me at all. Is she up there in confessionals?

In “reality”, the 5 underdog alliance is great for her. But on the edited show I cant recall one thing she’s done except cry for Sol and cry about being trans

The 6.25% more or less makes sense if you accept his variables:

Kyle has 50% chance of winning each immunity
There are four remaining challenges.

Tbh I though Caroline was more embarassing for not understanding what he was saying if she has a business degree as she claimed.

Holy **** that worked!?

I was sure Operation Italy would fail due to the clown music they were playing during Andy’s pitch to split votes
