@@andrewpratt8081 Chip? Oh the guy who was purpled for most the season and then beat Devons in the fire making challenge. He must of had some good relationships with the jury to win like that
Tommy also made clever use of the pre final tribal Day 39 time on IOI, coaching Noura on how she can undercut Dean at final tribal, while conveniently leaving out how she can do the same to him.
Tommy is a Top 5 player. There’s no reason he should have won that season. The cast was very pro-women, he faced a lot of twists designed to eliminate players like him, and did it with no extra help.
@@sagittariusrat4959 Most of the cast didn’t know what happened and production was the one that had the ability to do something and didn’t. I can attest people were pulled from Ponderosa from interviews to better frame the narrative people just let Dan harass people. The three players who were harassed by him said they didn’t necessarily want him removed and that according to Kellee and Janet Tommy was the main person saying that Kellee and Janet should have been believed from the beginning and it shouldn’t be the players’ job to have to deal with issues like this. Most people didn’t even know what was happening until after Kellee left. It’s very easy to try to make production not complicit in this but they were the single most guilty party after Dan in having this perpetuated. I have seen the text from people who interviewed some of the players and what they said happened. The reunion was prerecorded to account for players going rogue and saying what actually happened. Production put Kellee and Dan on the tribe knowing that this would happen. It was known in casting Kellee was uncomfortable being touched and Dan was touchy-feely. Molly and Kellee were complaining in the first episode. Production could have nipped this in the bud either by making it clear to Dan what the implications were or by removing him when he started doing it to Missy and Elisabeth. Production has made it clear in the past they didn’t take this seriously and they threw their contestants under the bus. Tommy’s girlfriend at the time says she knows he got a boring edit because he was outspoken about production’s negligence at the Jamal tribal.
@Natalie name a single move she made that was a good move and was hers???? She didn’t play at all. She existed in a game by smooching a dude and later by whining. I find her to be one of the worst players ever to hit the game. I can’t believe anyone thinks she’s a good survivor player. Maybe a good human but not a good gamer at all. IMO
I think my favorite move is Natalie Anderson pretending to be confused by the split vote, and voting off the person who was less likely to work with her.
Chase in Nicaragua tried something similar on day 39, telling Fabio that “he was a guaranteed win” obviously trying to get Fabio cocky before tribal council. It didn’t work but I still think it was a pretty smart tactic.
The funniest part to me about the Rupert idol move is that if he did find the idol I'd 100% expect him to just throw it in his pocket and walk around nonchalantly. He's probably the only person who could pull that move off because it's absolutely what he'd do if he had the real idol. We saw how nobody believed Abi had one in Philippines.
Or just lie down in the shelter all day pretending to not even care despite knowing you're on the chopping block, players may get suspicious and believed you had the idol since you weren't scrambling at all despite being at the very bottom Mike in Worlds Apart knew Dan wasn't the target at the tribal that he eventually got idoled out when Mike tried talking to Dan and wanted to work with Dan, only for Dan to shut him out completely. Mike then told Carolyn and Sierra that Dan lying down in the shelter is a huge red flag and then joined forces with Carolyn to blindside Dan
@@bartallen8121 It's really kind of a wifom game tho, what if I'm sitting around acting all safe with an idol when I actually do have an idol? A good player could certainly pull it off against another good player but I don't think such a move has been done yet. I can't actually recall someone off the top of my head that was super comfortable with an idol other than situations like Terry/Yul where the idol was just public knowledge.
@@BrettMKW Janet at the final 5 of IOTI felt comfortable with an idol, she planned to use it to protect herself which backfired with DK Chillin's idol nullifier, had she used it to leverage her positioning to scare others to voting her way, she might not have been eliminated at final 5
@@bartallen8121 Yeah but did Dean keep his nullifier secret? If I remember correctly everyone knew about Janet's idol but they didn't mind voting her because everyone also knew (except Janet) about Dean's nullifier.
I got one: make a fake idol when you already have a real idol, and walk around with it so people eye roll and think you dont have a real idol. Utilized by Ben and by AK in Aussie survivor
I won’t lie when the first clip was the intro to Philippines I thought he was gonna mention Zane’s strategy of asking to be voted out to test his loyalties To be fair it’s only ever been used once, so you COULD say it’s underused
Has anyone ever given a fake idol wrapped in idol instructions to the opponent team? Seems like a good move. You “slip” the “idol” to the person you want out on their team and, with any luck, someone else on their team notices, putting them in the firing line. If someone on your team notices, you’ve still got a real idol to protect you.
@@junsong9581 A situation where you are getting Ulong-ed (your tribe is constantly losing challenges) is ideal. Target the challenge beast the other tribe is using to win. Mess with their internal dynamics.
I am not sure that the "rock in your pocket" would work very well now, though I agree that it was a surprisingly genius move by Rupert at the time. I think the better thing to do now is to make a fake idol, but if you previously found a real one and already used it then you can save the note saying that you found it so that you have "proof" that it is real. Another strategy that I have thought of is if you know that you are the target but you find a hidden immunity, try putting in your pocket to think that the opposition believes that you may have one but might also be trying to fake them out. Then don't play it, and if you survive the vote they think that you won't have one. Then at the next tribal council, if you are still in trouble, play the real one! It's risky, sure, and like I said I'm not sure how likely a cast would be to fall for the rock in your pocket trick now, but you may not have anything to lose by trying to buy that extra round if you're truly on the bottom. Also, I love how Artis is the only member of Tandang that you don't mention by name (though we do briefly see him in the clip). So appropriate given his edit!
one cool one that i like from the international versions: Locky in Australian Survivor 2017 was able to pick up the idol rules when another contestant dropped them after being voted out. He held onto it until final 5 when he was on the bottom and the biggest challenge threat (all of the other 4 were going to vote for him), he showed the rules to one other person prior to the challenge and he had the entire camp believing he found the idol. He carried around a rock as well in his pocket I believe to help sell it. He managed to swing 1 vote his way in the end but got voted out because he gave himself away when he barely lost the immunity challenge and let his disappointment show too much.
Number 2 on the list - If I remember correctly, it was also implemented in Palau final 6 when Ian told Katie to vote for Gregg soon before leaving for Tribal Council to make sure that she will be afraid of 3-3 Tie. It's not maybe as game changing as Tony's play but still it was clever
One really good underrated strategy it’s, never reveal every detail about your advantage, so you can abuse it to your own good. Like when Tony had the super idol but he didn’t tell everyone that it was expired and they actually believed it was valid!!
@@jala1081 Danny said in an interview that neither of them could risk it. Say they agreed to vote Xander but only Danny voted for him it would be a 3-2-1 of Danny-Deshawn-Xander. So they had to vote for one another
I think the idea was 2-2-2 with danny and deshawn voting xander. And if xander didnt use his idol. On the revote people would jump to get xander out since he has an idol and now's a perfect opportunity to get him and his idol out of the game.
Sarah from Aus Survivor 2017 had a cool strategy of pretending to be pissed off that another player chose not to share an auction item with her. In reality she teamed up with that player at the next tribal council.
I'm not sure if it really mattered, he wasn't a physical threat that season and he's never been a strategic threat. Candace probably goes anyways that round, I think TV played it up more. But, I'm a huge Rupert fan and it was great to see him make a really good strategic move like that.
i think these would fall under the last minute strategy and theyre worth mentioning since they genuinely blindsided production. apparently in guatemala, when morgan was voted out it was going to be lydia and they were even saying that in their confessionals so when morgan was voted out, production was shocked so they invented her lazy edit to justify her vote out. and then in gabon, kenny changed one of his votes on the way to tribal and production flipped out because they didn’t get it on camera.
One of my favourite production blindsides is the Final 9 tribal of SA 6 where you can tell production didn't expect both (correct) idol plays, and expected one of the people with an idol to go home, hence why their votes were read at the end, which did not happen.
Me in Roblox Survivor knowing I have an idol and knowing there is an obvious alliance of friends: openly telling everyone to target one of those in an alliance, the alliance will get angry and target me, then when I get to tribal, I play my idol and send a kid blindsided Another method is deliberately throw the challenge by not participating, then I was targeted 3-1 in a tribe swap, I turned a 3-1 into a 1-0 idol blindside, sending a girl named Mochi packing while her friend, Sushi, who was on the other tribe, spent an entire round cussing at me and failed to get me out since we merged and I won immunity and she eventually ragequitted because I took out her friend
Or here's a better game strategy...position yourself smack dab in the middle of two alliances, and then when you've taken out everyone you weren't working with in some capacity, you make your move to choose a side, especially when you have the information that one of the two sides has an extra vote that you can use to avoid it being a tie situation at final 8...gotta love a blindside where half the people left in the game are in complete shock because they didn't think you had enough game to pull a bait and switch on them
Ok, so a couple months ago me and my family (six of us) played Survivor at home, my dad who was voted out second hid two idols, I had no idea who had them and was nervous, so I had a bright plan while I was looking I found this yellow game controlled that looked similar to the two idols, and put it in my pocket when everyone could tell I had it, they had no idea what it looked like and therefore they never voted me out, then at final 3 I went to “play my idol” and everyone was shocked, baffled, and some angry. Due to a bitter jury me and my sister tied and had a rock draw thing and I lost ): but I was robbed!
Damn that actually sounds like it could be fun, especially because there are 9 of us in my family including my parents. Too bad my family is too lame to ever do this though.
Papa Bear from Survivor South Pacific tried this move. He did it in an attempt to get votes onto Cochran. The only person who bought it was Jim, who voted for Cochran at tribal council, and the rest of the tribe voted for Papa Bear. So it was a failed attempt to do what Rupert succeeded in doing in HvV.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Australian Survivor 😊. Just finished watching their All Stars season. Not only are their challenges brutal, but they've got some really great strategic gameplay, in my opinion 😊.
I know it’s an obvious one but the minority vote split is underused like when Kelley Wentworth played her idol in the final 6 of cambodia and has 1 of there votes on Tasha the landscape of Cambodia could have been a lot different
this hasn’t been used in survivor (that i seen of) but a minority vote split counter. like there’s a alliance of 7 against 5, the minority having nothing to lose split the votes 3-2 while the majority alliance split their votes 5-2 so at tribal council the minority and majority alliance nullify the highest amount of votes from both sides so in a revote they can throw the rest of the votes at the minority with no safety.
You gotta remember how much weight russell lost over the course of season 19 and 20, which filmed very close together timewise. At the start of 19 he had a significant belly and by this part of hvv, (day 20 something i think) he lost a significant amount on the waist.
How about physically weakening yourself to lower your threat level? Spencer did this in Cagayan by refusing to drink water for days and made it all the way to final 4. I think that strategy would be pretty good in modern survivor as well due to the fact pace of the game
I think Tyson is more famous for doing that. Its probably not intentional to get hurt in that challenge, but Tyson was happy that he looked like he was handicapped. It lowered his threat level as a challenge beast, wearing that cast around his arm
That just isn’t really smart though, it probably is easier to fake getting a stomache by the final days rather than actually weakening yourself when the final challenges are essential
ya you need to be an asset to the tribe in the beginning but also try and save energy and strength for the individual portion or the game so you can dominate there. if you are weak in either of these you will most likely get voted out.
There is so much more worse players than Candice and even more unlikable, but still she is in 90% of yours videos. I think everybody here deserves a video of top 10 Candice moments or something like that. I think that it would be hilarious🤣🙌
What baffles me is we don't see more players going on fake excursions pretending to look for the idol after they've already found it to make others think the idol is still out there. I only recall it being used once in recent seasons.
How come Candace gets so much crap for being on the heroes tribe and Sugar gets no mention? I didn’t watch either of their original seasons but every clip I’ve seen of Sugar did not reflect well on her. Definitely seems she was more villain than hero.
I've seen a video or comment section/subreddit somewhere, talking about this. Sugar didn't fit in with the heroes tribe and probably would have gone farther in the game if Sugar started on the villains tribe.
They needed someone to throw opposite Randy. But yeah there's no way she should have been on the Heroes tribe. Literally the only reason she wasn't the biggest villain is because Randy and Corinne were on that season.
Bait Blake was so funny and so smart 😂 after I watched Guatemala, I was shocked Brian never played again! He was one of the more memorable and likable players for me
Speaking of Heroes vs Villains, I believe that was the one where Russel and his alliance tricked the heroes into thinking he was on the bottom against a women's alliance so when the merge came he could pretend to flip and gather intel, something JT fell for in a major way. Russel definitely has problems with his game but that was an amazing play I don't really remember seeing since.
Well that was pure circumstance and luck for him to be in that position and I believe the heroes must have already said something his way to that affect first. But yeah he went with it, rather than his ego getting the better of him there so I'll give him that.
@@umbudiga Yeah after one of the challenges when they noticed Rob was gone JT told him to hang in there. But aside from that he didn't really DO anything to make them believe it was the case so it's not really a strategy. You have to luck into it and hope someone is dumb enough to give you an idol unprompted.
Like that number 1 in both videos is very similar move. In both cases the minority threw their vote on 1 of their allies to save themselves. But I think Rupert's move was better as they did the work to get there to be a split in the first place.
I think you suggested this before, but how about a video of Survivor's greatest frenemies. People who hated each other at times and loved each other at other times. Adam and Jay in M vs Gen X are best example, but other examples are: Wentworth and David in EoE Dean and Noura in IoI Brad and Debbie in Game Changers Ricard and Shan in 41
You're gonna get a player one day who has seen your channel and start using all of these tactics you've shown into their own gameplay..... I want to hear how you gush over them. XD
Come on Idoled Out, you were so close! All you had to do was swap Candace with Sugar and you get through an entire section without dunking on her. 😂 Though seriously who the eff thought SUGAR was a Hero?? I'm genuinely confused by it still. Yeah she had a sad story on her season, but aside from that she is easily the meanest and most vindictive person outside of Corinne.
Amanda, candice, and sugar are not heroes, and I don't think cirie is either, they could have chosen, Christy from Amazon, Tina from Australia (more a hero than the ones chosen), shambo, and Denise the lunch lady, or even put sandra on the heroes instead of the villians tribe, as she carries ruperts torch in pearl Islands,
@@daltonfarris I don't think Shambo would be considered a Hero, plus, I'd imagine production WANTED Russell to win, so they made sure not to have another person from Samoa
@@IdoledOut if you read recently, that was supposed to be the series finale moment according to Lindelof and Cuse. They were forced to do 3 more seasons, hence why the series really went downhill after season 3. I've always said that was the true ending of the show and I was proven right!
@@IdoledOut It gives me chills too. I was left sitting there 20 minutes after the episode completely frozen. One of the best pieces of television ever made. You should do a few deep dive videos on Lost. I would watch the heck out of those!!!!
Honestly is was not very smart in the long-run for Pete to create that chaos between Abi and R.C when the smartest route would've been just progressing his individual relationships w/ them and the outcasts and also trying to bring them in in order to have a united Tandang at the merge. Honestly this was the move that cost him, Artis, Abi, and R.C a million dollars.
When will we get a break down on the newest survivor season to have passed. Am finally up to the final episode. Sad to admit but with the Jury the way they are there is no way these people will give it to the superior Xanda who should 100% win.
I don't think Twila bought what Chris was saying, she saw through his strategy before, the problem is that she was never going to be able to suck up to the jury no matter what Chris did or didn't say
Underutilised strategy: If you think you're going to lose the final tribal, just marry the competition.
Fishbach may have tried

Or here's a better game strategy...position yourself smack dab in the middle of two alliances, and then when you've taken out everyone you weren't working with in some capacity, you make your move to choose a side, especially when you have the information that one of the two sides has an extra vote that you can use to avoid it being a tie situation at final 8...gotta love a blindside where half the people left in the game are in complete shock because they didn't think you had enough game to pull a bait and switch on them
Ok, so a couple months ago me and my family (six of us) played Survivor at home, my dad who was voted out second hid two idols, I had no idea who had them and was nervous, so I had a bright plan while I was looking I found this yellow game controlled that looked similar to the two idols, and put it in my pocket when everyone could tell I had it, they had no idea what it looked like and therefore they never voted me out, then at final 3 I went to “play my idol” and everyone was shocked, baffled, and some angry. Due to a bitter jury me and my sister tied and had a rock draw thing and I lost ): but I was robbed!
Damn that actually sounds like it could be fun, especially because there are 9 of us in my family including my parents. Too bad my family is too lame to ever do this though.
Rupert’s play was genius. And surprising self aware? To top it off Russel thinks Rupert is a moron, making it all believable
“Now if you’ll excuse me, Amazon’s having a flash sale”
Cue Amazon ad
I really liked the faking idol from Rupert and shocked no one else used this strategy.😮😲🤯
Papa Bear from Survivor South Pacific tried this move. He did it in an attempt to get votes onto Cochran. The only person who bought it was Jim, who voted for Cochran at tribal council, and the rest of the tribe voted for Papa Bear. So it was a failed attempt to do what Rupert succeeded in doing in HvV.
Ian and Tom did the “minutes before tribal” thing with Katie back in Palau.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Australian Survivor 😊. Just finished watching their All Stars season. Not only are their challenges brutal, but they've got some really great strategic gameplay, in my opinion 😊.
10:04 Actually Mitch saw Cobly vote so he knew.
Anything positive about Pete gets a like from me.
another one is tai on game changers using his idol clue on a new beach & finding a second idol
Todd did that (or directed James to do it) in China as well.
I know it’s an obvious one but the minority vote split is underused like when Kelley Wentworth played her idol in the final 6 of cambodia and has 1 of there votes on Tasha the landscape of Cambodia could have been a lot different
this hasn’t been used in survivor (that i seen of) but a minority vote split counter. like there’s a alliance of 7 against 5, the minority having nothing to lose split the votes 3-2 while the majority alliance split their votes 5-2 so at tribal council the minority and majority alliance nullify the highest amount of votes from both sides so in a revote they can throw the rest of the votes at the minority with no safety.
It has happenned in survivor David vs goliath
11:39 There's no way Russel's shorts were actually THAT low that they had to censor it lmfao
You gotta remember how much weight russell lost over the course of season 19 and 20, which filmed very close together timewise. At the start of 19 he had a significant belly and by this part of hvv, (day 20 something i think) he lost a significant amount on the waist.
@@jonnycastaway Good point
That avocado comment was hilarious!
Wait... Candice from Raro?!?!
I think another strategy is simply begging amber did it in all stars and they spared her sending jerri home
Yeah, for all the talk people do about playing strategically, I think most contestants would balk at kicking someone who's already down.
Jacquie(S17 Gabon) tried this against Kelly Z.
It did not work and she got ousted 5-2
How about physically weakening yourself to lower your threat level? Spencer did this in Cagayan by refusing to drink water for days and made it all the way to final 4. I think that strategy would be pretty good in modern survivor as well due to the fact pace of the game
I think Tyson is more famous for doing that. Its probably not intentional to get hurt in that challenge, but Tyson was happy that he looked like he was handicapped. It lowered his threat level as a challenge beast, wearing that cast around his arm
That just isn’t really smart though, it probably is easier to fake getting a stomache by the final days rather than actually weakening yourself when the final challenges are essential
ya you need to be an asset to the tribe in the beginning but also try and save energy and strength for the individual portion or the game so you can dominate there. if you are weak in either of these you will most likely get voted out.
There is so much more worse players than Candice and even more unlikable, but still she is in 90% of yours videos. I think everybody here deserves a video of top 10 Candice moments or something like that. I think that it would be hilarious🤣🙌
Chris messing up Twila’s game is the best move Survivor history. He played to the very end! He’s my favorite winner.
That skupin comment was to good 💀💀
What baffles me is we don't see more players going on fake excursions pretending to look for the idol after they've already found it to make others think the idol is still out there. I only recall it being used once in recent seasons.
Ian waited until the last minute to tell Katie about blindsiding Gregg in Palau
13:06 Well Played
The last second voting strategy was also implemented by Tom and Ian with Katie to vote out Gregg in Palau
Lol! The shade on Candace. But yeah, a double mutineer.
Lost was worth my time!!!! :P love your work Luke
Thank you for watching! I enjoyed most of Lost so I make fun of it with love
Congrats Luke, this is your 100th video!!
Skupin joke got me dead 💀💀💀
Wow, what a random way to burn Lost. Imo one of the best shows I've ever watched.
Bruhhhh that skupin joke LMAO
The dig on skupin was just….wow
Any Chris Daugherty praise is okay with me! Favorite player of all time!
How come Candace gets so much crap for being on the heroes tribe and Sugar gets no mention? I didn’t watch either of their original seasons but every clip I’ve seen of Sugar did not reflect well on her. Definitely seems she was more villain than hero.
I've seen a video or comment section/subreddit somewhere, talking about this.
Sugar didn't fit in with the heroes tribe and probably would have gone farther in the game if Sugar started on the villains tribe.
They needed someone to throw opposite Randy. But yeah there's no way she should have been on the Heroes tribe. Literally the only reason she wasn't the biggest villain is because Randy and Corinne were on that season.
Candace and swapping tribes, name a more iconic duo.. Oh wait, Billy and Candace is a iconic duo 😂😂😂😂
Bait Blake was so funny and so smart 😂 after I watched Guatemala, I was shocked Brian never played again! He was one of the more memorable and likable players for me
Boston rob also used the waiting to tell the vote strat on Philip a couple times.
Never will I understand why Candice was on the Heroes tribe and Sandra was on the Villains.
That's not a rock in my pocket, buddy
Speaking of Heroes vs Villains, I believe that was the one where Russel and his alliance tricked the heroes into thinking he was on the bottom against a women's alliance so when the merge came he could pretend to flip and gather intel, something JT fell for in a major way. Russel definitely has problems with his game but that was an amazing play I don't really remember seeing since.
Well that was pure circumstance and luck for him to be in that position and I believe the heroes must have already said something his way to that affect first. But yeah he went with it, rather than his ego getting the better of him there so I'll give him that.
He didn't really trick them into it. They just assumed it and he didn't correct them. More of a they were idiots moment than he was a genius.
@@umbudiga Yeah after one of the challenges when they noticed Rob was gone JT told him to hang in there. But aside from that he didn't really DO anything to make them believe it was the case so it's not really a strategy. You have to luck into it and hope someone is dumb enough to give you an idol unprompted.
Also it only really works because Parvati is there and she was seen as the leader of the Black Widow Brigade.
Blake Towesly, a favorite of RHAP's Jordan Kalish!
Like that number 1 in both videos is very similar move. In both cases the minority threw their vote on 1 of their allies to save themselves. But I think Rupert's move was better as they did the work to get there to be a split in the first place.
Love the lost references
I think you suggested this before, but how about a video of Survivor's greatest frenemies. People who hated each other at times and loved each other at other times.
Adam and Jay in M vs Gen X are best example, but other examples are:
Wentworth and David in EoE
Dean and Noura in IoI
Brad and Debbie in Game Changers
Ricard and Shan in 41
You're gonna get a player one day who has seen your channel and start using all of these tactics you've shown into their own gameplay..... I want to hear how you gush over them. XD
The digs at lost were great
I forgot about the avocados oh my lord, I legit yelled at the TV the first time I saw that. WHO DOES THAT?!
Lost is the best show of all time. How dare you
James was the biggest villain on Hero tribe.
well done on the candice bit
That avocado slicing made me so uncomfortable. 😖
Candice, from...RARO TRIBE ?
Sugar and Kim also waited for sundown to get rid of Kenny and Troyzan
Come on Idoled Out, you were so close! All you had to do was swap Candace with Sugar and you get through an entire section without dunking on her. 😂
Though seriously who the eff thought SUGAR was a Hero?? I'm genuinely confused by it still. Yeah she had a sad story on her season, but aside from that she is easily the meanest and most vindictive person outside of Corinne.
Amanda, candice, and sugar are not heroes, and I don't think cirie is either, they could have chosen, Christy from Amazon, Tina from Australia (more a hero than the ones chosen), shambo, and Denise the lunch lady, or even put sandra on the heroes instead of the villians tribe, as she carries ruperts torch in pearl Islands,
@@daltonfarris I don't think Shambo would be considered a Hero, plus, I'd imagine production WANTED Russell to win, so they made sure not to have another person from Samoa
We have to go back Kate, we have to go back!!
Despite the seasons that came after, this moment still gives me chills
@@IdoledOut if you read recently, that was supposed to be the series finale moment according to Lindelof and Cuse. They were forced to do 3 more seasons, hence why the series really went downhill after season 3. I've always said that was the true ending of the show and I was proven right!
@@IdoledOut It gives me chills too. I was left sitting there 20 minutes after the episode completely frozen.
One of the best pieces of television ever made.
You should do a few deep dive videos on Lost. I would watch the heck out of those!!!!
@@thetigereyes53 Really interesting.
What's wrong with lost?
Why you gotta talk down LOST?
Love the channel beyond that.
Honestly is was not very smart in the long-run for Pete to create that chaos between Abi and R.C when the smartest route would've been just progressing his individual relationships w/ them and the outcasts and also trying to bring them in in order to have a united Tandang at the merge. Honestly this was the move that cost him, Artis, Abi, and R.C a million dollars.
I cannot take this LOST slander
When will we get a break down on the newest survivor season to have passed.
Am finally up to the final episode. Sad to admit but with the Jury the way they are there is no way these people will give it to the superior Xanda who should 100% win.
First one. Another example is Tyson with aras on swap tribe
I don't think Twila bought what Chris was saying, she saw through his strategy before, the problem is that she was never going to be able to suck up to the jury no matter what Chris did or didn't say

The lost references 😊
I won’t stand for this Lost slander
To be fair, Candice was a last minute addition for the heroes. She replaced good ol' Ozzy Oscar Lusth.
Didn’t BRob also try to have Natalie be combative / nuke her FTC chance?
