Ive always had this bad feeling the Michaela's vote out was personal. Like, it has never made sense to me, and I honestly think sarah just didnt like her and wanted to punish Cerie, which like, wasnt a great move imo. But she still won so whatever I guess...
I totally agree. Cirie was well liked and Sarah probably couldn’t get the votes last minute to vote her out. So why not Cirie’s sidekick? Who was not well liked.
Yeah, I called this one early in the episode. It was clear she wasn't fitting in, plus concerns over future loyalty (as I recall). What I do remember is that this wasn't a surprise to me in the slightest.
Truthfully, both of Michaela’s eliminations made no sense. Jay voted Michaela out, who never lied to him, and kept Will, who went on later to be betray him. I’m still not absolutely clear on why Sarah took her out, but she could’ve had a strong ally with her that could’ve gave Brad a run for his money.
I always thought so but I remember back then you weren't allowed to say anything about how That Bitch was treated. Michaela hatred was some of the most sus shit ever especially since it happened when she didn't bow and scrape at JT's feet. It was a bloody mob- people claimed based off of nothing that she called Sarah racist which got them worked up enough to send her more harassment and death threats.
Tina's move was very underrated. Back in S2 people kept the strongest players, and she managed to convince Colby to get rid of Mitchell as the perceived weakest. In reality she did that to put herself in a power position, knowing that Amber/Jerri/Mitchell would get the majority if she went along with the Keith boot. Also, I seriously have no idea to this day why Jeremy decided to dip on a tribal when he knew his vote was so important. He guaranteed his alliance couldn't get the upper hand, even if he was safe.
She flipped Ogakor completely upside-down and made all roads lead back to her in a single vote-off, incredible move from an incredible winner! I get why Jeremy bounced, but I wish he hadn't. It would take nerves of steel to not use that advantage when you know you're getting at least five votes, and in modern Survivor you can always cross your fingers and hope the deck will reshuffle the next round (which, to be fair, it kinda did)
naaaaaaah I 100% would've left if I were Jeremy too. He was DEFINITELY going home that night had he stayed. It's a lot more understandable to leave tribal and cross your fingers that everything can work itself out after tribal instead of staying and HOPING for a tie vote and rock draw that you won't lose.
@@lindam156 He won't lose the rock draw. He's immune. Worst case scenario his alliance loses the rock draw but at least he risked it. Sometimes you gotta take a risk to win the game and I'd rather have a higher chance of going out in 10th if it means I have a strong chance of winning should it work out in my favor.
Before it starts, Amber in Australia is my go to example of this. The show started with Colby saying Roger and Elisabeth were next, then we get a bunch of flood and survival related stuff (great television) and then Amber randomly goes.
Michaela is probably one of my favorite players in Survivor. I’m pumped she has moved to The Challenge and although she had a terrible start, I hope she has a long history with the show coming up.
Your videos are always a delightful surprise. "OH, I guess it IS Sunday night!" and this time you spiced up the editing in a couple fun ways too. I loved that you talked over yourself for a bit to hammer the point home of the tribe scrambling
I'm absolutely amazed you mentioned Michaela's vote out in Game Changers but *not* her vote out in her original Millennials vs Gen X season. To put it simply, the millennials had a 7-4 advantage, and had a chance to make it 7-3 and be *completely* in control of the game. And on top of that, Jay, Will, Michaela, and Hannah had a 4-person sub-alliance within that alliance of 7 (a majority within the majority), and this was their chance to *cement* themselves into the driver's seats of the game. And then Jay and Will flip for *no reason at all* and get rid of Michaela. And *no,* this does *not* make the alliances now "6-4" instead of "7-3." No, it *completely* destroys the fabric of the advantage Jay and Will had *both* as millennials *and* as members of the majority sub-alliance *within* the millennials camp, because *Hannah* now flips, bringing *Adam* with her, and now, Jay and Will are *completely* in the minority alliance! They went from guaranteed final four to *neither* of them making the final four (Will finished *8th* and basically never had a chance to even come close to making the final 3, and Jay was voted out at the final 5, and only made it that far thanks finding immunity idols and winning challenges)! Now, to be *completely* fair, you could argue, "Jay and Will knew Michaela would almost certainly win if they stuck with their strategy and let her get to the end, and they figured they still had a 6-4 millennials advantage even if they got rid of her." So, yes, maybe there was *some* reason for the vote (a backwards and wrong reason, but one that *did* come from a logical step-by-step mind process, even if it proved completely irrational), and I would also accept the argument that that belongs on a separate list (if it has not already been made) of *"successful* voting moves made by players that completely and utterly *destroyed* their position in the game." I'd love to see a list where one or more players *successfully* voted out their fellow contestant, and the *immediate* aftermath of that vote (like, before the next immunity challenge even took place) resulted in their "expected final position" in the game dropping by *several* spots (and it may also be worth it to add the criteria that the player has to ultimately finish below their "expected final position," but that's not necessarily a requirement)! *This* would obviously be on that list! I definitely believe Nick flipping and voting out Yul instead of Michelle or Wendell in Winners at War would *also* certainly be on that list (Yul's alliance of "free agents" was in *complete* control of the game at that point, and Nick was arguably Yul's biggest ally - it is *very* fair to believe the "expected final position" of *both* players was to finish in the final 3 *before* the vote, but after Nick voted out arguably his biggest ally and the guy who formed his alliance in the first place, he was *immediately completely* on the outside, ending up on the bottom of the first couple of votes and being lucky *he* wasn't the one the other alliance chose to vote out - and it took some savvy play by him to even get himself into 7th). But yes, now that I mention it, I *really* would like to see a list like that!
@@highonsugar6273 I can think of *one* reason that has *nothing* to do with gameplay or "likeability!" :( Sadly, it's as ugly a reason as there is (and it says nothing bad about Michaela, only in how society treats her)!
Lisa Whelchel’s brother in Philippines. He didn’t know if she was using her real name or married name to the rest of the cast to hide her identity, so he just said that.
Your favorite immunity challenges. Not like the actual challenge itself but one specific moment Example: - - Boston Robs carrying his family on his back challenge. - Sophie’s Clutch Win over Ozzy -Etc Etc
Another similar idea is votes from the minority that make no sense In the Drew Christy vote we know why he went home but very confused still about why it ended up being split 5-2-1-1
Jon made the plan to get Julie out, Keith and Reed followed, but Jon himself followed Jeremy’s plan to vote Keith out, while Jeremy went with the women to vote Drew. Drew votes Kelley because she’s the obvious threat.
I kinda don't blame you since the plan is complicated and required finessing from the middle by Michelle and Jeremy. Also, that was when Rob and Parvati knew they were screwed because the vote revealed that the new schoolers were in an alliance against them
@@b.k.9797 No what happened was Boston Rob and his alliance had a plan to split the votes 3 on Russell and 3 on Parvati and so if Russell plays his idol Parvati will go home but, if Russell doesn't play his idol then on the revote Russell will be voted out before tribal council Russell starts to talk to Tyson saying he is gonna vote for Parvati to save himself which ended up giving Tyson the idea to switch his vote from Russell to Parvati so instead of a 3-3-3 tie we instead got 4 votes Parvati 3 votes Tyson and 2 votes for Russell but Russell ends up playing his idol on Parvati negating her 4 votes she received and ironically the person who messed up the split vote plan got voted out. In Rob's case after the Villains lost the next immunity challenge Russell convinced Jerri to flip on Rob so Rob goes up to Coach to convince him to vote for Russell to at least make a tie but after Courtney's performance at the immunity challenge he wants to vote for her at tribal council he tries to convince Rob and Russell to not be against each other and to vote out Courtney when the vote comes up Rob ends up getting eliminated in a 4-3-1 vote after Coach decided to stay neutral when he voted for Courtney.
@@cdawg4021 I know how it happened. I’m just saying that it made strategic sense for Russell to target them and they could afford to do it at that point.
I like when they don’t make it blatantly obvious who is getting booted, it’s almost like we are being blindsided at home. It’s more fun that way. But I agree, there were a few there that made little to no sense strategically.
My favorite viewer blinside is John from DvG. It was perfect: created from a flashy tribal, caused flashy strategy, gave us a classic Angelina moment, and actually made sense to the viewer afterwards.
Kelly getting taken out on the re-vote against Marty in Nicaragua is a big one. I guess maybe Sash wanted to keep him to try and get the idol- but like how does Marty actually survive that vote?
@@shesjustafrienduhhafriend8655 Yeah but it was a last minute number and I remember reading that they thought Fabio was the one that flipped at the las minute and not her.
I love the tribal counsels where there is lots of whispering like #1 on the list. It shows how things flip on a dime in Survivor and how alliances aren't as strong or weak as we think.
I think one that really confused me was the Artis boot from Survivor: Philippines. They gave no real explanation for why and I had no idea he was going home until he went home.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong I agree. I know they can’t give Russell sized screen time to everybody, but it would be nice to have seen *something* about him
They did - They were afraid of the idol and Denise said Abi would use the idol on her/Pete and would never use the idol on Artis. So he left to avoid any idol shenanigans.
More confusing is why Skupin and Lisa flipped on Tandang and put Penner/Malcolm/Denise in power. That all but sealed their fates as Pete/Abi were very hated and very beatable at the end.
The Jenny vote actually made sense to me. Raro was like an onion and if you had to keep peeling the outer layers, at 6 tribe members left Jenny was the most outer layer. Also I guess they figured theres two Asians on Aitu so Jenny might flip given her previous relations on Aitu
I think it was a matter of her not really having someone to back her up whereas, Nate had Parv, Penner was saved from his bond with Candice, Candice Parv and Adam had each other, it was just real unfortunate luck for Jenny to not make merge
It made sense to me because we knew they were voting out someone they didn’t plan to. I think with the Adam confessional and in general the position of the other players, I guessed it would be Jenny.
That’s funny. Jenny hated Yul and Becky. On the original Asian tribe she had no relationship with them and was second to the bottom after Cao Boi. If anything she probably couldn’t wait to vote them out.
Jokes on you! You don't get my savings, I didn't watch your video, I listened to it! I'm so smart. Very good video, I love these kind of videos, keep it up!
Tina’s second voting confessional for Mitchell is pretty savage. And also I think outlines some of the layered strategy to target him over Jerri. As both Mitchell and Jerri had votes against them going in to this tribal. And we know Keith and Tina would have loved to oust Jerri. But, Mitchell was perceived weaker than Jerri. Tina’s second vote for him is something like “I didnt come here to face the elements and starve myself to lose” or something.
I have a video idea that sprung from Erin's clip. There is a reason to watch Survivor Thailand, when that monkey steals their food, I mean come-on comedy! They deserved it too Other ideas in the realm, Pelican Pete, "who counted the chickens before they hatched?"-Greg Buis Richard getting bit by that little shark, frank talking to the elephant and giraffe, big Tom talking about wildabeast sex, John's sea urchin, robb's stingray incident, sean on a horse, Chris on a horse, purple Kelly milking milk, piranha bites, howlers screaming at Judd, yadda yadda yadda Unintentionally funny animal moments in survivor
So basically what I’m getting from watching this is that these boots came out of nowhere because they didn’t have the plot background via confessionals to explain it.
denise is the winner of that, she went to quite literally every tribal (technically there *was* one that no one could’ve attended bc there was a quit/sorta medevac)
@@airhawkey Actually, she's not. She went to 15 tribals, which was every tribal in her season. However, Mick, Russell, and Natalie went to 16 in Samoa (despite that not being every tribal) as did Michele in Winners At War.
@@TheMeanderingduck6 Funny enough ironically despite not visiting tribal council in the pre-merge her first season Michelle visits the most pre-merge tribal councils out of everyone in Winners at War with 5.
I heard Russell said the reason for Kelly was because it was meant to be Laura but since she won immunity they did her closest ally also apparently Kelly was really strategic and kinda the glue of galu
i just watched the michaela boot episode two days ago when it was on the paramount+ survivor live channel, but i was sewing while watching so i thought i just wasn’t paying enough attention for it to make sense. i guess it just doesn’t make sense.
Fincher, who was Parvati's husband at the time but she filed a restraining order against him for domestic violence. That's why Luke said "not so much you."
I think from what I remember of the background behind the michaela boot, there's three reasons that the Brad/Sarah/Troyzan group targets Michaela over Cirie there (because clearly they end up flipping on that pair, largely due to Cirie's horrendously poor play that round). One, is the obvious that Michaela was just a huge challenge threat. Two was that they felt that the Tai and Cirie feud was likely to continue moving forward, due to Cirie targeting him so hard. Three is that they felt Cirie was still a perfect meat shield. There was an accepted thing among that cast that Cirie just had a 0.0% chance of getting to the end of the game. Everyone in the cast knew she would automatically win if she was there, plus she's so bad at individual challenges they weren't worried about her winning her way there. This also plays into the reason to target that pair there anyway. At this point in the season, three people are basically completely out of jury contention (Aubry, Troyzan, Michaela) with Tai BARELY hanging on by a thread, and Brad not really too in it either. With Cirie being such a clear winning threat, they wanted to keep her as a meat shield, but couldn't risk keeping someone around who would actually be stupid enough to take her to the end (Michaela). Obviously the show shows NONE of this, but that's the best I can surmise there. Also kinda disappointed the Jeff Kent boot didn't get a mention, with Penner's insane vote for Abi Also also surprised you didn't talk about Michele voting for Tyson. For some reason. That the show never tells us. Overall, great video though! Would love to see a similar one on jury votes some day
Didn't think of it, but for sure. I love that the Brawn tribe has votes that came out of nowhere (King Darnell) and one that they literally didn't even bother to make a mystery (Alecia)
Im really not a "woke" SJW but to be honest, I sense some racial condescension from Scott and Jayson towards Darnell. The way they looked at him and talked about him, just felt really unpleasant, as if they looked down on Darnell. It cant be just because he lost his goggles in a challenge. Who’d think blondie is a better challenge asset than Darnell
What makes even less sense about Michaelas boot was if Sarah wants to punish cirie… she could have voted out cirie. Cirie didn’t have immunity she was right there available to be taken out
Australian survivor season 3 When Brian decided to flip his vote for literally no reason at all. Like they were an alliance of 4 vs an alliance of 2 and they were set to split the votes, but Brian said “there’s no way Sharn will have an idol can we just stack all 4 on her” and then Sharn in fact did have an idol and a member of his alliance got voted out. The plan was so simple and easy but Brian’s ego ruined it
Jon and Jaclyn wanted Jeremy out because he was a threat. Missy just felt like Jeremy thought he was in charge and wanted to pull the rug out from under him.
Francesca deserves a spot on this list. Like, i know her vote out was technically explained but…. WHYYY would they vote her out first just because she was voted out first last time 😭 justice for francesca
Well, Rebecca actually made sense if you're assuming it's the final pre merge vote, because I'm pretty sure that at the very least, Nate knew that she was tight with Sundra from their original tribe, and could've very well been convinced by Sundra to flip to Aitu's side come merge...similar to how the Villains alliance chose to vote out Courtney over Sandra at the final pre merge tribal because they knew that Courtney had more connections on the Heroes side that she could've used to flip on the remaining Villains come merge
Haha okay, whew! Had me nervous for a second there. Yeah I did talk about the Mitchell vote recently, re-treading similar ground happens sometimes I guess. Regardless, thanks for watching!
Why did Shii Ann vote Lex in All Stars? Why did Sandra vote Courtney in Heroes vs. Villains? These are two examples of individual votes that baffled me
@@sashngs I mean the vote was between her and Courtney and I guess Courtney didn't want to vote out Sandra so why wouldn't Sandra vote out Courtney in a attempt to save herself?
They gave an extra long family visit on winners at war to thank the survivor players, promptly followed by season 41 where Jeff throws up the middle finger to all previous players….
There was no reason behind Erin's vote because Sook Jai is the most anti-strategy tribe ever in Survivor. This season IMHO remains the worst simply because it was an absolute barren wasteland devoid of any strategical thinking except for Brian and a few hints of gameplay from Jake.
Ive always had this bad feeling the Michaela's vote out was personal. Like, it has never made sense to me, and I honestly think sarah just didnt like her and wanted to punish Cerie, which like, wasnt a great move imo. But she still won so whatever I guess...

I'm absolutely amazed you mentioned Michaela's vote out in Game Changers but *not* her vote out in her original Millennials vs Gen X season.
To put it simply, the millennials had a 7-4 advantage, and had a chance to make it 7-3 and be *completely* in control of the game. And on top of that, Jay, Will, Michaela, and Hannah had a 4-person sub-alliance within that alliance of 7 (a majority within the majority), and this was their chance to *cement* themselves into the driver's seats of the game.
And then Jay and Will flip for *no reason at all* and get rid of Michaela. And *no,* this does *not* make the alliances now "6-4" instead of "7-3." No, it *completely* destroys the fabric of the advantage Jay and Will had *both* as millennials *and* as members of the majority sub-alliance *within* the millennials camp, because *Hannah* now flips, bringing *Adam* with her, and now, Jay and Will are *completely* in the minority alliance! They went from guaranteed final four to *neither* of them making the final four (Will finished *8th* and basically never had a chance to even come close to making the final 3, and Jay was voted out at the final 5, and only made it that far thanks finding immunity idols and winning challenges)!
Now, to be *completely* fair, you could argue, "Jay and Will knew Michaela would almost certainly win if they stuck with their strategy and let her get to the end, and they figured they still had a 6-4 millennials advantage even if they got rid of her." So, yes, maybe there was *some* reason for the vote (a backwards and wrong reason, but one that *did* come from a logical step-by-step mind process, even if it proved completely irrational), and I would also accept the argument that that belongs on a separate list (if it has not already been made) of *"successful* voting moves made by players that completely and utterly *destroyed* their position in the game."

Artis was so underdeveloped as a character. Which is a shame, he seemed like a cool and funny guy.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong I agree. I know they can’t give Russell sized screen time to everybody, but it would be nice to have seen *something* about him
They did - They were afraid of the idol and Denise said Abi would use the idol on her/Pete and would never use the idol on Artis. So he left to avoid any idol shenanigans.
More confusing is why Skupin and Lisa flipped on Tandang and put Penner/Malcolm/Denise in power. That all but sealed their fates as Pete/Abi were very hated and very beatable at the end.
@@SmoothCriminal12 The Kalabaw-Matsing side had more openings than Tandang where Pete/Abi/Artis were clearly together.
I think Erin was voted out because Penny was aligned with Jake, who was aligned with Ken who was aligned with Shii Ann.
Erin was a floater
The perfect thumbnail for this would’ve been Michele’s vote at the Tyson boot shown on survivors RUclips
Michaela is amazing
The Jenny vote actually made sense to me. Raro was like an onion and if you had to keep peeling the outer layers, at 6 tribe members left Jenny was the most outer layer. Also I guess they figured theres two Asians on Aitu so Jenny might flip given her previous relations on Aitu
I think it was a matter of her not really having someone to back her up whereas, Nate had Parv, Penner was saved from his bond with Candice, Candice Parv and Adam had each other, it was just real unfortunate luck for Jenny to not make merge
It made sense to me because we knew they were voting out someone they didn’t plan to. I think with the Adam confessional and in general the position of the other players, I guessed it would be Jenny.
That’s funny. Jenny hated Yul and Becky. On the original Asian tribe she had no relationship with them and was second to the bottom after Cao Boi. If anything she probably couldn’t wait to vote them out.
@@b.k.9797 For real...original Puka had a solid 3 of Yul/Becky/Brad, which left Jenny and Cao Boi as the two clear votes had Puka lost pre swap
Jokes on you! You don't get my savings, I didn't watch your video, I listened to it! I'm so smart. Very good video, I love these kind of videos, keep it up!
The Devon edit was awesome👌😂
first of all that poochie reference was beautiful. secondly Micheala is the only player that didnt deserve either vote out lol
Top 5 most heroic moments from Candice Woodcock
Your writing for this one is really top notch
Tina’s second voting confessional for Mitchell is pretty savage. And also I think outlines some of the layered strategy to target him over Jerri. As both Mitchell and Jerri had votes against them going in to this tribal. And we know Keith and Tina would have loved to oust Jerri.
But, Mitchell was perceived weaker than Jerri. Tina’s second vote for him is something like “I didnt come here to face the elements and starve myself to lose” or something.
Yes
The following episode of the Michaela vote, Sarah does say that she voted Micheala to weaken Cirie
Have you done a video discussing which survivor players would have been huge threats had injuries or personal reasons not taken them out?
I have a video idea that sprung from Erin's clip.
There is a reason to watch Survivor Thailand, when that monkey steals their food, I mean come-on comedy! They deserved it too
Other ideas in the realm, Pelican Pete, "who counted the chickens before they hatched?"-Greg Buis

Unintentionally funny animal moments in survivor
Did anyone else sob the entirety of the Winners at War family visit because of the COVID timing? Just me? Just me.
🙋♂️
Me...but then again, I sob at every single loved ones visit
So basically what I’m getting from watching this is that these boots came out of nowhere because they didn’t have the plot background via confessionals to explain it.
someone hating family visit time? who? who is ahhh... just go away whoever you are.
Top ten players who went to the most tribal councils in one season Denise and Steph lagrossa will def be there lol
How about Lauren from EoE or Jacklyn from San Juan del sur?
denise is the winner of that, she went to quite literally every tribal (technically there *was* one that no one could’ve attended bc there was a quit/sorta medevac)
Oooh, putting this one on the list for sure. Thank you!
@@airhawkey Actually, she's not. She went to 15 tribals, which was every tribal in her season. However, Mick, Russell, and Natalie went to 16 in Samoa (despite that not being every tribal) as did Michele in Winners At War.
@@TheMeanderingduck6 Funny enough ironically despite not visiting tribal council in the pre-merge her first season Michelle visits the most pre-merge tribal councils out of everyone in Winners at War with 5.
Some more:
Hannah from AU survivor CvC 2
Jack (IOTI)
Kelly (Samoa)
I heard Russell said the reason for Kelly was because it was meant to be Laura but since she won immunity they did her closest ally also apparently Kelly was really strategic and kinda the glue of galu
I hardly remember any of these people until I see a video, sometimes, like Jenny, I still don’t remember them.
i just watched the michaela boot episode two days ago when it was on the paramount+ survivor live channel, but i was sewing while watching so i thought i just wasn’t paying enough attention for it to make sense. i guess it just doesn’t make sense.
Love the Troyzan shade
Who were the 4 former players on the loved one visit of Winnerd at War? I can think of Rachel, Val, and Nadiya but who else?
@@TheGamerGirl2330 oh I totally forgot they were together, thanks! That was driving me mad that I couldnt remember.

Fincher, who was Parvati's husband at the time but she filed a restraining order against him for domestic violence. That's why Luke said "not so much you."
Damn dude. Your videos are always great, but this one was especially hilarious. The poochie bit killed me.
I think from what I remember of the background behind the michaela boot, there's three reasons that the Brad/Sarah/Troyzan group targets Michaela over Cirie there (because clearly they end up flipping on that pair, largely due to Cirie's horrendously poor play that round).
One, is the obvious that Michaela was just a huge challenge threat.
Two was that they felt that the Tai and Cirie feud was likely to continue moving forward, due to Cirie targeting him so hard.
Three is that they felt Cirie was still a perfect meat shield. There was an accepted thing among that cast that Cirie just had a 0.0% chance of getting to the end of the game. Everyone in the cast knew she would automatically win if she was there, plus she's so bad at individual challenges they weren't worried about her winning her way there.
This also plays into the reason to target that pair there anyway. At this point in the season, three people are basically completely out of jury contention (Aubry, Troyzan, Michaela) with Tai BARELY hanging on by a thread, and Brad not really too in it either. With Cirie being such a clear winning threat, they wanted to keep her as a meat shield, but couldn't risk keeping someone around who would actually be stupid enough to take her to the end (Michaela).
Obviously the show shows NONE of this, but that's the best I can surmise there.
Also kinda disappointed the Jeff Kent boot didn't get a mention, with Penner's insane vote for Abi
Also also surprised you didn't talk about Michele voting for Tyson. For some reason. That the show never tells us.
Overall, great video though! Would love to see a similar one on jury votes some day
I thought Alina "the dirt squirrel" from Nicaragua would have got a mention
I have ro say both time Michaela was voted out I was pissed! Lol. I thought she was a great game player and brought alot to the show
Michaela deserved better both times she played
I would've put Darnell's vote out in Kaoh Rong that made no sense as a honorable mention.
Didn't think of it, but for sure. I love that the Brawn tribe has votes that came out of nowhere (King Darnell) and one that they literally didn't even bother to make a mystery (Alecia)
@@IdoledOut Another contender would be Vytas' getting voted out in Survivor Cambodia over Abi.
Im really not a "woke" SJW but to be honest, I sense some racial condescension from Scott and Jayson towards Darnell. The way they looked at him and talked about him, just felt really unpleasant, as if they looked down on Darnell. It cant be just because he lost his goggles in a challenge. Who’d think blondie is a better challenge asset than Darnell
@@freddytang2128 they were literally aligned with cydney
@@entertainer_ev2747 you do know that’s the logic of “I’m not racist, I have a black friend”
You better not trash stew in this video
Surprised Wiglesworth in Cambodia didn’t make the list
But we didn't even make it to the fireworks factory!
The Tyson vote made it hard to not feel like the new schoolers just had it out for the old schoolers, and saw them as the real threats.
We need to throw in Episode 3 of Season 42 onto here.
I still dont understand the chelsea vote in 39
What makes even less sense about Michaelas boot was if Sarah wants to punish cirie… she could have voted out cirie. Cirie didn’t have immunity she was right there available to be taken out
Australian survivor season 3
When Brian decided to flip his vote for literally no reason at all. Like they were an alliance of 4 vs an alliance of 2 and they were set to split the votes, but Brian said “there’s no way Sharn will have an idol can we just stack all 4 on her” and then Sharn in fact did have an idol and a member of his alliance got voted out. The plan was so simple and easy but Brian’s ego ruined it
Was really expecting Morgan McDevitt to be here
So uh, what are the terms and conditions of watching this channel in full?
What do you mean?
Great video bro, please por tops
I feel like both Michealas eliminations were stupid
I have to ask why Mary wasn’t included
Because where did Mary come from?
Tai should’ve gone home instead of Michaela.
Jeremy in SJDS and Ethan in WaW are up there imo
Jon and Jaclyn wanted Jeremy out because he was a threat. Missy just felt like Jeremy thought he was in charge and wanted to pull the rug out from under him.
Anyone else see the ship at the intro and hear, "Idol Boats," not votes?
That Michaela boot episode was one of the most incoherent things ever aired.
"Jenny remains one of the most screwed players in Survivor history."
Yeah, make that two
Francesca deserves a spot on this list. Like, i know her vote out was technically explained but…. WHYYY would they vote her out first just because she was voted out first last time 😭 justice for francesca
I was ver confused by Voce's vote out in 41
Both of Michaela’s vote offs were horseshit. She got screwed in GC but MvG was just plain hurtful.
The Julia Carter vote in EoE was robbed of this list
Nah Julia was voted out cause she ran her mouth at tribal and was really arrogant.
It was a vote that made sense.
I remember I literally didn't even know who she was until her boot episode, when at tribal her and Rick got into it... and then she was gone
I remember her mostly due to some thing that happened which made her call out Joe for allegedly saying the N-word.
I will never get tired of the dunking on survivor thailand
Raro keeping Jonathan over both Rebecca AND Jenny was so dumb. They all had an alliance together and none of them trusted Jonathan.
Well, Rebecca actually made sense if you're assuming it's the final pre merge vote, because I'm pretty sure that at the very least, Nate knew that she was tight with Sundra from their original tribe, and could've very well been convinced by Sundra to flip to Aitu's side come merge...similar to how the Villains alliance chose to vote out Courtney over Sandra at the final pre merge tribal because they knew that Courtney had more connections on the Heroes side that she could've used to flip on the remaining Villains come merge
I'm I the only one with a deja vu for some reason?
Did someone else cover this recently or something? I'm scrolling through all the other Survivor-tubers recent uploads but not finding anything
@@IdoledOut don't think so dude but for some reason the Tina bit felt incredibly familiar
Haha okay, whew! Had me nervous for a second there. Yeah I did talk about the Mitchell vote recently, re-treading similar ground happens sometimes I guess. Regardless, thanks for watching!
@@IdoledOut oh so it was your own channel. Thanks for the great content!!
I would like to request the terms and conditions of watching this channel.
Why did Shii Ann vote Lex in All Stars? Why did Sandra vote Courtney in Heroes vs. Villains? These are two examples of individual votes that baffled me
Both Shi Ann and Sandra were both on the bottom so why not vote for they're allies?
@@cdawg4021 The edit never showed this. Sandra and Courtney were thick as thieves, so when Sandra voted Courtney it's like WTF?
@@sashngs I mean the vote was between her and Courtney and I guess Courtney didn't want to vote out Sandra so why wouldn't Sandra vote out Courtney in a attempt to save herself?
First boot of HHH.
So… what are the terms and conditions for watching this channel? 🙃
Talk about timing, the video is already outdated
Michaela made sense
Lawl Troyzan who 🤪🤪🤪🤪
1 vote KJ!
They gave an extra long family visit on winners at war to thank the survivor players, promptly followed by season 41 where Jeff throws up the middle finger to all previous players….
No he didn't.
Kelly Wigglesworth vote off in s31 🤷🏽♂️
There was no reason behind Erin's vote because Sook Jai is the most anti-strategy tribe ever in Survivor. This season IMHO remains the worst simply because it was an absolute barren wasteland devoid of any strategical thinking except for Brian and a few hints of gameplay from Jake.
nice upload schedule lol
