When my parents and myself were watching the episode where Noelle left, and my dad said that he thinks Gabler had a shot at winning, I initially didn't believe him, but looking back at his history and especially when I saw the finale episode, I was proven wrong. Gabler was more dangerous than people believed he was, which makes him a pretty good winner in my opinion.
Dang his edit makes more sense when you see it like this. He really was hiding in plain sight. I don’t know if Cassidy or Gabler was the better choice (I lean him now), but did always respect his game a lot. I just never thought the jury was going to appreciate it too.
Best frigging confessional line EVER 2 me was: "when I threw out Ellie's name... I meant to throw out Ellie's name." 😂😂. It was funny at first hear and honest. Glad Gabler won. AlliGabler is perfect alter ego. Besides Cody, Carla and Jesse, AlliGabler is the perfect winner of this season.
@Osama Be Dunkin’ he played better than Jesse, that's why he won and Jessee lost. Didn't have his name written once and got all votes except one in the final. Nearly perfect game.
Just like in the game, he hid in plain sight in the edit. Always had very intentional and aware confessionals about him being well-positioned and how he was going to get to the end. Being in the ride or die alliance while also letting Karla and the others know about Cody and Jesse’s power was underrated because it pitted everyone against the other with Gabler in the middle, and it didn’t come back to haunt him. He really did play a great game.
I kind of understood why he won the show, I knew Jesse wouldn’t win his edit was way to perfect, he was literally hiding in plain sight, I’m so happy he threw out Ellie’s name to throw out Ellie’s name I’m so happy for the Meme Lord gabler, I loved him this season Insane that he donated all the money Very proud!
In the end, it all came down to the social game. You could tell the Alligabler really made connections with every individual person, and never really burned any bridges. The only juror he could’ve possibly burned was Jeanine (because of the Elie shenanigans), and she still gave him her vote. I get he had to duck back under the water post merge, but I wish we got to see more of his social nuances
Overall I think on paper Cassidy played a better game but she lost final tribal when she tried to take credit for a move ride or die did. She lost any momentum she had there
Exactly, I don’t know why people are saying she deserved the win and treating her like the second coming of Aubry or Parvati. Her only claim is winning 3 ICs which she tied with Owen and voting correctly at every tribal council. Noura won 3 ICs and Clay Jordan voted correctly at every tribal but did they win?
I love the funny older characters that this show casts, and I always pay attention to their edit in case they ever had another winner (very low odds). Gabler was a huge comic relief character but they always showed that he knew what was going on from how many connections he had. Almost everyone wanted to work with him all the time and he also had a bigger strategic resume than anyone else in F3.
The key in survivor is Information. Aligabler just know everyone's target because they trust him well. he just use the meat shield perfectly. That's why you should get rid of the biggest threat in the final 6 or 5
How can people watch this and think Cassidy was freaking robbed. Someone should do a Cassidy one it will be only about winning immunities. Cassidy had no agency in her whole game. I think Gabler won the game when he gave that confessional am hiding in plain sight. He was shown talking to everybody and everyone trusted him. He is the only one that mentioned Cody and Jesse being a power couple.
Agreed. I hated Cassidy. I wanted her gone after she voted my initial pick, Ryan. I hope for Survivor 50, they bring back 18 of the greatest Survivor winners ever, and Gabler is there, along with Tony Vlachos.
18:08 This moment right here I think contributed to the jury feeling negatively towards Cassidy. Her cheering and clapping out loud in Jesse’s darkest moment when the jury loves Jesse had to be a really bad look. Kinda tone-deaf on Cassidy’s part imo, she should be quiet and humble in that moment, especially when Jesse is so clearly devastated and was doing this for his family.
@@Quetzal00358Yeah, but in this case the person losing is the hero of the jury and they’re crying with him - so you probably shouldn’t clap at his defeat
to be fair, he literally already was being bitter and scolded her at that firemaking challenge for not putting herself into fire against him. he was angry she didn’t give up her game for him. it’s poor play but to me it’s understandable why she acted out like that
Really? Haha There were 3 woman, none voted for her. She got James vote. Sad when you can't just lose gracefully and have to try and make some huge political statement to explain away your own failures.
If you had told me after the premiere, or the merge, or the final five, or the final four fire making, or after the final tribal before votes were read that Gabler would win survivor I would say you were a liar.
People say Mike Gabler didn't deserve to win, but his game was actually pretty similar to the winner of season 14, yet nobody questions that winner's game. The biggest difference between the two is that the other 2 in the finals are better in 43 than in 14.
maryanne literally destroyed the S42 endgame and got “the most deserving player” to IDOL HER WHEN SHE HAD AN IDOL, also sent Omar home and explained her strategic decisions, she used mike as a weapon against himself and it worked
I think the win just game down to likability. Ultimately, Cassidy didn't really get a long with everyone like Gabler did. She had beef with Ryan. She had beef with Carla. She didn't get along with Cody and Jessie like Gabler did. Gabler was extremely close to Owen and Sammi. He was simply trusted by everyone, so while she was a tad more out in the open than he was, it was because he decided to hide his target until the very end. It was all strategic, and he influenced some HUGE moves at the end, which is why he wasn't perceived as a goat. Simply put: Gabler is a winner, and he's a great guy
Nice to know you can win survivor for just sleeping in the shelter the whole time. Honestly I haven’t watch this season since it aired he actually could of done smth I’m just tryna diss someone rn
The reason people didn’t see him winner because everyone was trying to call him a goat which Owens was a goat he openly said his games was good and cass was also a goat because she didn’t have the social connection with the jury
What I learned from the outcome of this season is that many survivor fans are just dumb. He didn't deserve it. He said that himself in the confessinals before ftc
he had a brilliant social game, and flipped at the right moments. he got out Elie which lead to him being integrated in the rest of the group. He remained under the waters until he joined a ride or die with Cody and Jesse, and abandoned Sami. He then convinced Jesse to flip on Cody. Then, he made sure that his final three was perfect for him. He did this all while remaining a strong social player and not lying to people.
maybe you should think why Cassidy lost first then try to compare it to Gabler. Gabler singlehandedly took out his arch enemies Ellie and everybody knows that. Cassidy didnt get credit when she voted out Geo and Ryan, and instead Gabler took the credit with Ride or Die alliance. Socially, Gabler also better then Cassidy, everytime Jesse or Karla want to make a move, they always said "if we can convince Gabler.." He always trusted by both side while Cassidy literally riding James and Karla coattails.
And the most important thing, he able to tell them all to the Jury perfectly. while Cassidy has worst performance then him. I believe Cassidy was slightly the favorite but she failed to convince the jury in the ftb
Gabler’s edit was horrible. There is no way I could have rooted for him with that edit. I couldn’t believe he won, it was astonishing to me. And though I respect him immensely for donating the prize money, but if he didn’t need it, why the hell was he there? Let someone who actually needs the money go home with the million.
lol, so only poor people should go on survivor? Tf logic is that, people like you should stop calling themselves fans of the show. And if you insist, as he said in confessionals he was there to donate the money.
The King of low tier winners! Anyone could’ve beat him. But he made it to the end and got lucky. So good for him! The edit he got was completely justified, mediocre and obviously not the star of the season. I find it funny that season 43 had an all goat final 3, and one of those goats and fire-making looser deserved to win more than Gabler through what the EDIT showed. And if Cassidy won, it also would have been predictable. But he did win and I give him credit for that. Is he a fun and interesting/satisfying winner? Absolutely not. But before anyone acts like they need to come to Gablers rescue. The way this season turned out is what makes it so interesting. If Jessie had won, it would of made for an more boring finish instead of an absolutely crazy one. So thanks Gabler.
@@brookendale3611 there's so much we don't see during the season due to editing, time scheduling etc. ultimately like Karla said the jury had questions and Gabler checked off most of the boxes. A true humble winner he was one of my 5 picks to win.
I won't lie. Even knowing all I know about the final 2 (let's just assume Owen isn't there), while the edit did them both dirty, I would come to the FTC wanting to vote for Cassidy. Would Gabler's superior FTC performance be enough for me to change my mind? I still need to think about it, but the final 2 played very similar games, Gabler more social, Cass a little more strategic. They are both good winners, neither as solid as Erika or Maryanne. Of the 43 winners, I give Gabler the 18th place, above J.T. and below Sandra's first win. Because I like her more, though, I put Cassidy slightly above Sandra and maybe even above the next place, Chris Daugherty, but that's as far as she goes without really pulling great moves. Jesse, on the other hand, would have the second best first season win of all time, after Natalie Anderson (and Tony's WaW win, Parvati's and Sarah's, all returnees)
Gabler was a lot more methodical and intentional than people want to give him credit for.
When my parents and myself were watching the episode where Noelle left, and my dad said that he thinks Gabler had a shot at winning, I initially didn't believe him, but looking back at his history and especially when I saw the finale episode, I was proven wrong. Gabler was more dangerous than people believed he was, which makes him a pretty good winner in my opinion.
The strategic mind of the Alligabler, he threw out ellie’s name to throw out ellie’s name
That should end up being an iconic survivor quote
Unironically a pretty good move

Happy birthday 🎂
Looking back at his game the clues were always there and you really can see how subtle yet tactical and dangerous his game was
Happy birthday 🎂
11:29 Ride or Die alliance formed
11:55 Perfect game awareness, he has the best position that he rides until the end he has options with everyone.
19:21 an underrated useful tactic at FTC that Gabler used: making the jury laugh
Tony did the same in his WAW FTC performance

It wasn’t that surprising. If you watched his game, he managed to play the most perfect game, aside from Jesse

Cassidy stans accept the truth. Gabler played better.
Sorry it's a NO for me, thank you.
Overall I think on paper Cassidy played a better game but she lost final tribal when she tried to take credit for a move ride or die did. She lost any momentum she had there

Galber didn’t have a vote cast against him
Gabler played a great game - a mix of Sandra and Fabio.
Exactly. These are the two winners Gabler reminds me of also. I'm amazed that someone mostly replicated Sandra's game.
15:00 - When you realize Gabler was dropping inception everywhere. 12:27, 7:18, 16:49.
I love the funny older characters that this show casts, and I always pay attention to their edit in case they ever had another winner (very low odds). Gabler was a huge comic relief character but they always showed that he knew what was going on from how many connections he had.

One of the best winners of the new era!!! I'm so happy he won over Cassidy!
Cassidy face when he won was😐😲😮😫
Pre-merge Gabler wasn't great but post-merge Gabler went absolutely off!
I can't believe this Legend donated everything to Charity.
This season has the most brilliant strategic gameplay with almost all players playing hard .
The real genius is how he got us (the audience) too. He hid in plain sight to the point where I never wanted to vote him out.
The key in survivor is Information. Aligabler just know everyone's target because they trust him well. he just use the meat shield perfectly. That's why you should get rid of the biggest threat in the final 6 or 5
If not sooner 🤣🤣🤣
Thank god for Ellie for doing that to Gabler. That gave him the boost to win.
I haaaated that chick.

7:14 is definitely my favourite Gabler line lol

The Gabler/Owen alliance is so epic

For Survivor 50, they should do Winners at War 2.0 and Gabler should definitely be there.

Really?
Haha

He was soooo dang good! Like just made that season amazing!! The world needs more Alligablers. I so would love to see him at the 50th anniversary!❤
We need a best moments of Jesse video!!
The Cassidy Stans are still crying rn
Never has a survivor castaway deserved a win more than Mike Gabler. He's a real solid dude.
The Cassidy whiners should watch this video, it really shows how Gabler won. I was clapping and so excited when he beat her.
As was I. I hated Cassidy. Serves her right for voting out my man Ryan.
WE LOVE YOU GABLER
If you had told me after the premiere, or the merge, or the final five, or the final four fire making, or after the final tribal before votes were read that Gabler would win survivor I would say you were a liar.
I think after final tribal council it wasn't a huge surprise. He had the best speech and story to tell.
I knew I was gonna win after final tribal council… his performance was amazing
@@tmm4195 yeah and her ftc was awful
I’m not a Gabler fan but seeing the Cassidy stans complain and whine to this day make him winning worth it

I forgot Gabler took his rest but he was planning! haha
I swear I forgot his first name was Mike
