Wendell told in one interview they gave up their entire shelter for rice…. But when his tribe went to the reward he and Don stayed back and ä builded it up so fast after that, that the show cut it out. 😂
Rob was a construction foreman when he did his first season of survivor. I don't get how people find it so hard to believe that he can make a really awesome shelter when he's given a lot of tools and a huge amount of time.
Exactly. He knew what he was doing and had over a month with nothing to do but fish and shelter build. He's gonna do something with his time. Plus and this isn't a dig on Rob, he's way too proud to let production make him a kickass shelter and then him just take credit for it
i can see a few extra hands to help lift, move, or otherwise just assist with some things, but yeah coming from a construction background he definitely had the capabilities to make that shelter especially when theres not much else he has to worry about.
Agree. Not sure why people would doubt those two. She was probably weaving the roof while he put the structure together. It falls well within what we’ve seen from the two of them.
I'm a carpenter turned general contractor. If you can build a house that passes code and will hold up for 150+ years, shelters like those are a walk in the park. TBH I feel like mine would be much nicer than Rob's.
The clips of Amber watching with growing interest as Rob builds the shelter are kind of hilarious. I wonder if one day their kids will go back and watch mom and dad fall in love on live TV.
If you listen to Rob Cesternino describe their "courtship" of each other he'll tell you it was a week before they even hit the island that he saw the sparks. Their tribe was sequestered together at Michael Bolton's father's home in Panama (not making that up) and Rob remembers how close they were getting there and like the first night they were on the beach she was sitting on his lap at the fire and Rob is looking around like "what a couple of idiots", but it obviously didn't end up mattering.
How crazy good the Moto shelter in Fiji is always blows my mind since it seems to get better every time I see it. Like, Dreamz legitimately called it an upgrade from real life living conditions he'd previously had pre-show in a confessional. That has to be the only time being on Survivor has been considered an improvement.
Honestly, production might have given Rob some materials and tools (and maybe gave it a safety check) but I fully believe he built that, especially if they were truly living outside the whole time. Rob has the experience and knowledge and he strikes me as the type that struggles with being idle, it’s a good outlet for that energy. I’m a creative person who doesn’t really like being idle, give me 30 days of free time and some resources and I’d 100% be making stuff, I’ve been known to chaotically build and build Halloween decor when given the time😅 (Plus, I’m in the architecture field so a shelter isn’t outside the realm of possibility either, I’ve seen colleagues put together some crazy stuff in short time periods).
His first season he was idle and kind of lazy at camp. Their shelter wasn't that impressive for having a construction worker on the team. Its more likely the crew helped him on the island of the idles
Also, the Fiji group had Sylvia heading the whole construction after winning the supplies. She's been an architect since she auditioned for the show and still runs a pretty successful architecture firm here in the Bay Area so I'm not surprised their shelter came out really well.
I'd read that production offered to make a shelter for Rob and Sandra for Island of the Idols but they'd turned them down and said that they wanted to make that shelter themselves.
I doubt the shelter Rob built in ioi was faked. The man has worked in construction and had nothing better to do on the island for over a month. Production might've provided a bit of assistance but I'm betting it was fairly authentic
I'd say Chapera's shelter definitely qualifies. Yeah, they had tools, but they still had to design the thing and build it using their own skills. As noted, Rupert's Deathtrap is proof that this can be done poorly. If any shelter should be disqualified from the list, it's Koror's. All else being equal, I'd argue it's the #1 best shelter, but that comes with the BIG asterisk of "Built entirely by production, with their own materials and tools." I mean, they used a freaking chainsaw at one point. When are you going to see that on any other season of this show?
Rob and Amber is why my wife and i started watching Survivor and the Amazing race. She got me a Cameo from him on my birthday, it was awesome. In front of the Red Sox painting Amber got him
Can’t wait to see Bob and Bruce being passed out in the Charmin toilet with the remaining wine Casaya won as a reward in your top toilet moments countdown.
genuine question: what else would be on the list besides this and the koror reward bc i can't think of anything else (maybe that spa reward that was sponsored by charmin and had the decorative toilet paper everywhere ??)
@@uglyaniimalswell in a recent season a girl was so stoked she went poop in the ocean she’s very excitedly announced it to the whole tribe! That was hilarious.
If anyone likes your video as much as she like watching that man put the shelter together, I hope they can't come within 500 feet of you and it's enforced by a judge. She was THIRSTY and couldn't hide it. Good video, you got a new sub.
I'd like to have seen them have a lavish camp and a bare bones camp, and if you win immunity as a tribe you have the choice to take the immunity, or keep the camp and make team members from the winning tribe do an on the spot hidden vote to determine if they take the immunity, or the camp. It seems they did that near the end, but it would have been more interesting to do it from the very first challenge.
*2012* ''I don't care how comfortable this looks, it would still feel like a nightmare sleeping in that'' *2023* ''Love that it faces the ocean and only 1200$ a month with a down payment of 50 grand, you say?... SOLD!''
Hey Luke! Since 45 started and people are having trouble physically it reminded me of how hard older seasons were Have you thought about making a Top 10 hardest seasons of Survivor video?
This is on the list and would be such a fun topic, the difficulty for me is the research. After you get past the obviously toughest seasons like Africa, Guatemala, and Cambodia, every player ever seems to think their particular season was the toughest. I'll definitely do it someday though!
@@IdoledOut Kaoh Rong has to make the list for sure. Damn near half the players were medevac'd or came close to it, and Caleb's medevac was the scariest one in history even over Russell S.
@@IdoledOut I think Samoa should be up there, and Nicaragua should also be considered for one of the lower spots. The amount of rain they experienced was more than any other season I've seen.
I’m reminded of how Jeff mentioned in an interview once how he’d never go back to Marquesas because of the bugs, so I’d consider that a notable mention. Micronesia was also deceptively dangerous, given how many med evacs there were.
When I first heard about the premise of Survivor Fiji I was excited, since I thought they were putting people who were wealthy in real life on one tribe up against people who were poor in real life. But then I watched the premiere and saw them do "rich vs poor" in the worst possible way.
It was such a frustrating season to watch pre-merge … I feel like they should have just given up on the way they were doing it and done some production shennanigary to change how they tackled the premise before the merge hit.
Best toilet moment ever....was the toilet big Tom was wearing. Then Boston Rob said in confessional "thats not the 1st time he had his head in the toilet" 😂
You are discrediting boston rob for no reason, It looks more impressive than it is due to camera angles, Its a very simple structure, you can have the main structure of that built within a few hours if you know what you are doing, Plus he had the previous seasons build for practice, so it wasnt exactly his first rodeo, a quick internet search can also bring up allot of blueprints for bamboo structures which on his first season he said he'd done allot of research.
Willing to bet Rob was given schematics for that shelter and all the machetes and rope needed. As for actually chopping the bamboo and tying it, that was probably him.
I was expecting to see Cambodia, when 5 were forced to give up individual immunity for it ( did 8 say yes? . That was a pretty badass shelter, and they finally got to play the game thanks to it, so much rain that season...
Rob built "most" of it... aka he did a quivk sprint up and down the beach to get sweaty, then picked up a saw or hatchet and just started hitting things. There is NO WAY that a man with no traditional island construction techniques and from Boston with another american could not have built that themselves. Its hard enough building a shelter out of found materials that is simply off the ground but 2 full stories and a prfectly tarped and canopied roof... yeah no chance. She me a time lapse abd maybe ill believe you. But no way they built that 2 story mansion themselves just 2 people in less than a month...
yeah in survival situation good shelter can boost morale a lot. imagine the day of hardworking going back to heated shelter not a soaking wet sleeping spot.
Ethan having to use the toilet in the village they visit on reward in Season3 because of the greasiest french fries i’ve ever seen. Bobby using the toilet in Season12 after the whole tribe decides to use it as storage leading to a fight with Courtney. Bobby and Bruce also from season 12 getting wine drunk in the toilet just for the tribe to find them still in there when they wake up. Any ideas for another 2 Top Toilet moments in Survivor?
this is the first time i saw this and this looks like when my father and uncles was having fun building shelter for us kids while they enjoy climbing the mountains- they dont have a freakin muscular body- they have the dad bod uh huh
Rich getting richer. And attributed their wins/status to all the hard work they did and how the poor were just poor because they stayed lazy. If that wasn’t a realization to the rich that what you were handed over everyone else (family connections, good medical care, food, good schools) is why you are still rich and not your ‘hard’ work.
I watched the first 4 or 5 seasons of Survivor and turned off my cable since and haven't watched further. Since when did this show become less about surviving in a remote location without manmade resources and more about living next to a big box building supply store?!?
There is no way Rob and Sandra built that shelter by themselves. Just digging the post holes in sand would take forever. They had a huge team helping them.
Rob has a background in construction and Type A people can’t just do nothing. They had a month of just “free time” what else so you think they’re gonna be doing aside from sourcing food?
Props to Wendell for having the only one on this list that was done by the tribe itself without any tools to help them.
No wonder Bradley was so Naviti strong. It was more like Natviti with a shelter strong.
Wendell told in one interview they gave up their entire shelter for rice…. But when his tribe went to the reward he and Don stayed back and ä builded it up so fast after that, that the show cut it out. 😂
without any tools, except those metal nails holding the chairs together, right?
They did amazingly well, go them fr
Wendell is a horrible person the more I find out about him.
Rob was a construction foreman when he did his first season of survivor. I don't get how people find it so hard to believe that he can make a really awesome shelter when he's given a lot of tools and a huge amount of time.

i can see a few extra hands to help lift, move, or otherwise just assist with some things, but yeah coming from a construction background he definitely had the capabilities to make that shelter especially when theres not much else he has to worry about.
The thing is I forget he had a life before survivor. He's such a significant part of the show that it basically functions as his career.
Agree. Not sure why people would doubt those two. She was probably weaving the roof while he put the structure together. It falls well within what we’ve seen from the two of them.
I'm a carpenter turned general contractor. If you can build a house that passes code and will hold up for 150+ years, shelters like those are a walk in the park. TBH I feel like mine would be much nicer than Rob's.

The Island of the Idols shelter was like Boston Rob playing Survivor in “Creative” mode
Can’t wait to see a Creeper show up on the Lulu tribe’s camp this week
"Wink wink nudge nudge" 🤣
😊
Hi
@@RanchKings Hello
"This is the shelter that resulted in 4 children."
I had to find a drink so I had something to spit out. Oh my God!
Only thing that would make that scene better would be including the confessional where Rob C says that Boston Rob and Amber are gonna do it
Lmao 😂
At first i was shocked, but then i realized it was rob and amber involved.
That took me a while 😂

a survivor shelter can't be considered a good shelter if it doesn't ruin someones birthday and make another person want to quit the game
oh god, what's this referring to?
Alright now I’m just curious lol
@@definitelynotsmart Rupert's shelter, it was Ethan's birthday around the time it got flooded and Jerri understandably wanted to quit.
I choose to believe that rob built the ioi shelter, but production stepped in for stuff like making sure the design was stable
I doubt the shelter Rob built in ioi was faked. The man has worked in construction and had nothing better to do on the island for over a month. Production might've provided a bit of assistance but I'm betting it was fairly authentic
7:35
Missed opportunity to say “whoever has the nicest commode, gets the nicest abode”
Those 4 kids were thanks to home depot😂
I'd say Chapera's shelter definitely qualifies. Yeah, they had tools, but they still had to design the thing and build it using their own skills. As noted, Rupert's Deathtrap is proof that this can be done poorly.
If any shelter should be disqualified from the list, it's Koror's. All else being equal, I'd argue it's the #1 best shelter, but that comes with the BIG asterisk of "Built entirely by production, with their own materials and tools." I mean, they used a freaking chainsaw at one point. When are you going to see that on any other season of this show?
Boston Rob seems like the kind of guy to tell Sandra: we can totally do this ourselves and them doing it. Maybe getting a few tools from production.
Sandra the quitter and sitter outer does not strike me as the person to help
@@imanoldurango8213 I didn't say Sandra was useful!! I said Boston would tell Sandra they could do it
“Rupert design a shelter to kill Jerry”. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 💀😂😂😂
Literally what got me into the RUclips side of survivor was me looking for ratings of shelters so this speaks to me
i think, legally and morally, we need the toilet video now
Number 1 is Bobby and Bruce getting drunk in the outhouse in Panama
Rob and Amber is why my wife and i started watching Survivor and the Amazing race. She got me a Cameo from him on my birthday, it was awesome. In front of the Red Sox painting Amber got him
i’ve legit been waiting for some survivor youtuber to make this video for 8 years
Can’t wait to see Bob and Bruce being passed out in the Charmin toilet with the remaining wine Casaya won as a reward in your top toilet moments countdown.
This was literally this first moment that came to mind when Luke mentioned the possibility of a best toilet moments video
genuine question: what else would be on the list besides this and the koror reward bc i can't think of anything else (maybe that spa reward that was sponsored by charmin and had the decorative toilet paper everywhere ??)
@@uglyaniimalswell in a recent season a girl was so stoked she went poop in the ocean she’s very excitedly announced it to the whole tribe! That was hilarious.
@@yayturray4321 omg wait who was this it sounds vaguely familiar lmfao
@@uglyaniimals i think it was Simone in H.H.H. Season 35, not as recent as i was thinking but close enough
If anyone likes your video as much as she like watching that man put the shelter together, I hope they can't come within 500 feet of you and it's enforced by a judge. She was THIRSTY and couldn't hide it. Good video, you got a new sub.
Amber's leg repositioning as she increasingly becomes more moist is friggin hilarious
The rich group was so comfortable that none of them thought they would be the ones pushed out.
thats because survivor Fiji was only a few hundred meters from the a massive resort the production crew were staying at.
Honorable mention to the rebuilt shelter from 2nd Chance, where people had to sit out from the challenge to earn it
I'd like to have seen them have a lavish camp and a bare bones camp, and if you win immunity as a tribe you have the choice to take the immunity, or keep the camp and make team members from the winning tribe do an on the spot hidden vote to determine if they take the immunity, or the camp. It seems they did that near the end, but it would have been more interesting to do it from the very first challenge.
Lol to be honest, Tony's uncomfortable spy shelters are my favorites 😂
*2012* ''I don't care how comfortable this looks, it would still feel like a nightmare sleeping in that''
*2023* ''Love that it faces the ocean and only 1200$ a month with a down payment of 50 grand, you say?... SOLD!''
Give Big Tom his credit he helped Boston Rob so much!
So excited for the top 5 toilet moments
Already know Bobby and Bruce getting drunk in the Casa De Charmin is number 1
Nice to see this video as usually i think of the worse shelters. Thanks Luke!
Rupert's death trap he called a shelter is the answer. It literally almost killed his tribe.
Rupert’s shelter should’ve been on here. He’s a great shelter builder, just ask Tina.
The most impressive ones are the ones survivors build themselves, there's some cool ones out there!
Rob said to the production team hold my beer 🍻
Hey Luke! Since 45 started and people are having trouble physically it reminded me of how hard older seasons were

You have the best funny Survivor videos 😆💀
Rob's actually job was in construction, so it's not surprising he knew what he was doing.
Also, Sylvia from Fiji is a registered architect when she auditioned. Of course they're gonna have an amazing shelter, lol.
When I first heard about the premise of Survivor Fiji I was excited, since I thought they were putting people who were wealthy in real life on one tribe up against people who were poor in real life. But then I watched the premiere and saw them do "rich vs poor" in the worst possible way.
yes, that season was awful!
It was such a frustrating season to watch pre-merge … I feel like they should have just given up on the way they were doing it and done some production shennanigary to change how they tackled the premise before the merge hit.
rob probably did build all that but if he needed something he asked and production brought it to him so he didn’t have to spend time looking for stuff
It seems like this show stopped being a show about survival in the wild and became a marooned drama.
Rob is a carpenter by trade
Rob sure found a lot of lumber on the beach for the shelter "he" built.
i think they had free supplies from production but they had to build it themselves
Best toilet moment ever....was the toilet big Tom was wearing. Then Boston Rob said in confessional "thats not the 1st time he had his head in the toilet" 😂
The "shelter" that "Rob and Sandra built" should have been an honorable mention
Ur seriously the best
You are discrediting boston rob for no reason, It looks more impressive than it is due to camera angles, Its a very simple structure, you can have the main structure of that built within a few hours if you know what you are doing, Plus he had the previous seasons build for practice, so it wasnt exactly his first rodeo, a quick internet search can also bring up allot of blueprints for bamboo structures which on his first season he said he'd done allot of research.
Willing to bet Rob was given schematics for that shelter and all the machetes and rope needed. As for actually chopping the bamboo and tying it, that was probably him.
luke really talking about ALL things survivor lol
Here to tempt a top survivor toilet video
9:15 You know Luke is telling the truth because he just wants to talk about Bobby and Casaya more
thats so funny at the end, they chose luxury over one of their own
nice work
6:34 I spit out my drink
I was expecting to see Cambodia, when 5 were forced to give up individual immunity for it ( did 8 say yes? . That was a pretty badass shelter, and they finally got to play the game thanks to it, so much rain that season...
What about the shelter built in Survivor Cambodia in the post merge after 8 people gave up their shot at immunity?
Most of the materials for the shelters have been planted by production in recent seasons, right?
The Rupert bunker is the best shelter of all time
Rob was just in minecraft mode at Lumuwaku
Reverse drowning simulator totally got me 😂
Rob built "most" of it... aka he did a quivk sprint up and down the beach to get sweaty, then picked up a saw or hatchet and just started hitting things.

We do know this was built by the set guys on the island right?
These were like Mr. Kueng's primative builds. Yeah. They aren't real.
I'd be the guy to make a houseboat with sails and a net launch / collection system.
Ethan having to use the toilet in the village they visit on reward in Season3 because of the greasiest french fries i’ve ever seen.

im seeing a lot of thick bamboo do they even grow on the islands ?
Furnature designer or furnature builder?
A big defference
So essentially all the shelters the survivors didn't build!!
The new gen get switched camps so much. I see why they dont put the work in a anymore

If you put all your viewers to the question, "Who wants to give up the French press?", what outcome would you expect?

I don't know if it's really underestimated Boston Rob even said "who built this shelter. No wonder you guys are kicking our a**"
You should have shown the scene with Stacy explaining how to make coffee
The Home Depot shelters are weak AF. Leave the game raw and rugged.
Wendell and Dom
Tyson and Gervais
Best bruos of all time
Top five toilet moments please!!
I literally hated Bradley so much. Thankful he didn’t make the merge!! And I hope he never comes back!!
Top 5 toilet moments when?
Back when survivor was actually about surviving. This show has fallen off so hard
Top 5 toilet moments NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Rob & Sandra did NOT build that shelter. GIMME A BREAK.
Okay before watching I'm going to say Chapera, Naviti, Moto, Koror and Rob on Island of the Idols.
You forgot Naviti had Chris Noble rapping 😂

There is no way Rob and Sandra built that shelter by themselves. Just digging the post holes in sand would take forever. They had a huge team helping them.
