I will never not be impressed by Natalie's "Jacelyn did you vote for who I told u to vote for" move. It's just so good. And yeah I totally thought Jeremy was gonna win after the Josh vote out, but I LOVE that it set up a truly amazing Survivor revenge story! Nat did indeed ball out
Natalie A was so gangsta and boss when she pulled that move out. The look on everyones faces made it even better.
Personally I saw it as beggy and patronising. The jury would have figured it out there was no need for the overbearing comment. Wasn't surprised when stories came out after winners at war that Natalie bullied people on the edge of extinction.
Edit: the actual move yes I agree just the manner in which it was done was too much for me personally.
The edit for San Juan del Sur was brilliant and makes up for the Meh Premerge. Having the top two contenders go back to back at the beginning of the merge made SJDS have one of the best postmerges of all time. Jeremy’s blindside literally made me drop my jaw.
It might be a Top 5 post-merge tbh. There's a lot to sink your teeth into - starting with the wild Josh/Jeremy boots.
@@Peridiam I also loved the majority alliance so having them successfully vote out everyone yet not having it be boring was a huge plus.
Baylor was annoying to watch - her getting idoled out by my fave was excellent
The pre merge of SJDS is awesome, Great premiere, Val’s ridiculous idol lie, Rocker in fight at immunity & voted out with idol, Entire hilarity of Drew Christy’s boot, 3 pairs swapped on same tribe. Great pre merge
There’s not a bad episode in the entire season. SJDS start to finish for me is at minimum Top 10 season
@@PackerSmacker4 only the Drew Christy case was entertaining for me. Val lie no one believed it and Rocker was bossy and misogynistic. Who is going out on his tribe? Oh, yeah, another girl
This didn’t change anything, but when Sarah was about to burn through the rope when fire making against tony I really thought I was about to be blindsided to Jupiter.
Same
Visited the spoilers did we? King Ezekiel had perfect boot list that year. Side note I was freaking when her fire got close
When the final 3 of eoe was Chris, Gavin and Julie, I was SHOCKED because we saw NOTHING of them all season
Haha I remember seeing that final three and thinking I didn’t really want any of them to win cause none of them had done enough to win most seasons
I was really pulling for Vic and Lauren going into the finale, the entire final 4 was like the lesser of 4 evils, I think outta the final 3 Gavin shoulda won but I really didn’t care for any of them winning either, the entire finale was disappointment after disappointment until the winner was crowned
@@survivordrew4941 Tbh tho Gavin being the winner wouldn't have been much better. Dude had the personality of a brick wall. He couldn't be any more boring/bland/emotionless.
Yeah. As much as EoE has grown on me, I still feel like the finale was one gutpunch after another; Devens, Vic, and Lauren were my three favorites.
ikr it was probably the worst final 3 ever.
Chris was actually my winner pick after the premiere aired, yeah that was quite a rollercoaster.
Same man
Same here! I was so sad when he got voted out
Saaaame 🏝🌋
I did a draft with friends and ended up with Rick, Gavin, and Julie >:(
@@buggyking2523 rip
There is no sweeter feeling than watching someone say they can’t wait for a blindside tonight and it ends up being them.
Kat
How about top 10 people to over-stratagize themselves out of the game. Like Zane in the Philippines, Jacob in Ghost Island or Michaela in Millinials vs Gen X
I'd lump Zeke in as well lol. Sad how many people are LIKE this when you really think about it, LOL!
Also franchesca
Me in every org I’ve been voted off in
@@notasmiler1571 ME IN EVERY ORG LOL
Tyson in Heroes vs Villains
I was shocked when Denise voted out Sandra in Winnes at War, I djdn't really see that coming haha. I just thought Denise would vote out the eventual winner, Tony.
@@Maikelz93 imagine if she really did vote out Tony. What an alternate universe would we have been in.
Tbh I think it was a bad move, I don't think Sandra would've done nearly as well at the merge as Tony did. She's a two time winner for god's sakes, someone's gonna target her. Might as well use her as a shield and eliminate someone who A) was not aligned with you anyway and B) stood a really good chance at winning the whole thing
funny how chris is the only winner pick ive gotten right lmao. i picked him on the first episode. so i was definitely blindsided when he got voted off on the third, but hey i was right lmao
The only time i considered i was blindsided by the edit was when Malcolm went home in Gam changers cuz his name was barely mentioned in the edit of being an option. it was mostly talk of Sandra and if JT would flip on her or will Hali just flip over to the other tribe. But when Malcolm name came up i was like "o my god, i did not expect him to leave A: in this tribal and B: This early
The John vote in David vs Goliath absolutely wrecked me
I don't even know who John is
@@codyhanson1344 Mayor of Slamtown
@@julianmarcel734 ah yeah I remember now. That was good. He even knew there would be a blindside, but little did he know it was on himself.
@@codyhanson1344 a **Brochacho** blindside
@@jeffpalmer223 yeah I was going to say that but didn't know how to spell it
edge of extinction just really wasn't thought out well. Chris got to hang out with the entire jury for weeks. someone like Reem never even met Gavin and Julie. the returnee has a HUGE advantage with the jury. not even mentioning the fact they didnt have to vote out most jury members and have no blood on their hands.
And they get an idol
@@codyhanson1344 I think producers were pissed that the redemption island returnee often get targeted and voted out right away. So it was a little anti climatic for people like Matt and Andrea to win all those duels and go home next anyways. But an automatic idol is just too OP
true but then you see what happened in WaW where natalie was on the edge the whole time, had tons of advantages and good moves that got her back into the game, and still lost against tony who had the most blood on his hands but still didn’t have a bitter jury
Chris came back like this sage that knew everything and everyone fell for his traps. It's sort of like Michele's jury vote off. It seems like an unfair advantage if you play it perfectly. Chris was using info that Kelley told him when she was voted out to his advantage when he got back in. Not a lot of people would think to do that.
@@breathingbear I think in WaW, it was a key difference that the cast was made up of 20 past winners who had a much deeper understanding of how the game 'should' work. While I do hold to the philosophy that it's impossible for a jury to pick a 'wrong' winner, you could expect a jury of past Champions to chose a winner more in line with what a lot of fans consider the 'spirit of the game'. Tony played Survivor on 'Difficult Mode' for 39 days, while Natalie was playing 'mini-Survivor' for a big chunk of the time, and I think that jury of Champions knew that.
Amanda's idol play in Micronesia comes to mind. It wasn't revealed to the viewers that she had found it until she played it at tribal!
John being taken out in Marquesas is the first time I was shocked like that. There just had never been a power switch at that point. Africa almost had one, but it didn't happen, so I figured we were heading for the same outcome of a teased flipped that wouldn't actually occur. When Jeff revealed the fourth vote for John I could not believe it.
Honestly the Savage boot from SC got me real bad. When Kelley played her idol I was convinced it was Stephen going but Savage shocked me so much
Rodney was a massive jury threat and strategically controlled the game more than Mama C. It has been acknowledged that besides Mike, he was the biggest threat and was surprisingly well liked and got a bad edit.
In all fairness he was well like in a group of morally questioned people
@@frida.7831 it's been a while since i watched (i watched it live in 2014 lol) but all i remember that he did that was bad was the comment about women at blue collar's first tribal about women needing to hold themselves to a higher standard and respect themselves (still super shitty, but it's only one thing y'know)
Reminds me of South Pacific a bit...for all of Brandon's antics on the show, and the edit he got, he had a pretty solid chance of beating anyone, except maybe Ozzy, in a jury vote had he not given away immunity at F6
I think dumb moments that did not affect the game could be an interesting video. For example, when the Zhan Hu tribe thought they wouldn't have to give up two people as well in the tribe swap
I always felt like Jeremy was going to win a season and I wanted him to comeback after San juan del sur but i didn't think he would. Little did i know at the time
Natalie was my pick to win WaW. I was aboslutely gutted when she was first boot. But watching her dominate on EoE was baller
the entire gabon season surprised me from an editing perspective. i was shocked when marcus went out pre merge
It still Irks me that Wil and Mama C tied
Mama C lost, tied with will, and was told the fans didn’t vote her in the second chance season all in the same night
@@adamsbriee6330 She should’ve been on Second Chances 🤦♂️
Way back in Gabon I think a lot of the community felt like Marcus was getting a perfect winners edit so it was crazy shocking when he was the merge boot, similar to the Josh/Jeremy situation
Honestly, I was blindsided pretty hard by the Ethan boot in Winners at War.
That was a very cruel cheap snipe.
I was too! Totally out of left field. It made sense after the fact, but in the moment I was like BWAH
Michele (and Jeremy) does not get enough credit for this, the best move of the entire pre-merge.
@@bigbuffguy9589 I'm sorry, but no.
Taking out the poor cancer Survivor who was in no way a strategic or challenge threat and could have been voted off at any time was not the best move in the premerge.
Sarah and Sophie being swapped into a minority and still getting Rob voted out even without their vote steal or their idol was the best move of the premerge.
@@roger_towny_jr adam and ben hated rob and wouldn’t work with him anyway
@@roger_towny_jr That actually didn't require as much effort as you'd think, because Adam and Rob weren't on the best of terms after Rob immediately threw him under the bus to Parvati the previous round, and then with Danni exposing the old school alliance to Ben pre-swap...yeah, Rob was never getting Adam and Ben to agree to vote Sarah and Sophie out over him
Honestly, one of the best parts of the baylor blindside was johns reaction. You could see him realizing how much of a hold natalie had on that game and how inevitable it was she would win
I was waiting for the Eric close line at the beginning when you said close line so that ending was awesome😂😂 also when Ali was blindesided and voted out 6th in 35. I thought she was getting the perfect winners edit for the pre jury episodes and then Ryan breaks my heart
I'm still not over the Mary blindside in Micronesia. We never saw it coming.
who?
Mary?
didn't really know mary
2nd boot
The San Juan Del Sur edit got me alot too but I have to say it was so much for the better because Natalie's war path to revenge and victory is one of my favourite storylines to come out of the show
Reem needs to be on every season until she wins. Just imagine all of the one-liners 😂
It's been almost two years and I'm still mad about the end of the Edge of Extinction.
Eric getting close lined... by the close line is by far the best moment in survivor history
I jokingly said that Chris would win the night before the finale and then I was watching and was like you’ve got to Be Fucking kidding me
Malcom's Exit in Game Changers. I expected him to go further, he was well set up, there was no talk of his exit at all before tribal, and he was getting lots of screen time up until that point, thought for sure he would make it far.
hey peridiam! can you do a video where you cover the history of old classic survivor challenges? such as the hanging onto the pole one or the arm attached to bucket one?
Not necessarily an editing blindside, but the Savage boot in Cambodia shocked me because the leaked bootlist was completely accurate up until then. I was fully expecting Fishbach to leave, but 9x Wentworth will not count later, I was flabbergasted
The John vote out in 37 got me along with in 31 I really didn’t think Abi would get far at all 🤣 that shocked me
Loved the Baylor puns
Two honorable mentions that I think should have been included was that Malcolm blindside in GC because it was set up so much for it to be a Sandra blindside and then the other one Alexis's blindside from Micronesia just because we had no clue Amanda found the idol.
Alexis may have an appearance in my next video...!
Thanks peridiam
Unpopular opinion but Chris winning might have been one of my favorite survivor moments. After a decade of watching survivor I feel like I can read into the editing and player archetypes to figure out the winner. I was getting bored, it was getting stale. The season finale of EoE rocked my poor little super fan world. I wasn’t mad, I was excited for the future of the show after that. It proved to me that the show wasn’t done yet, they had tricks up their sleeves in production. I remember watching the finale and was glued to the screen, that is how I want to feel watching my favorite show.
I loved EOE and would put it in my top 10 easily. Chris winning was exciting!
I agree don’t hate the player hate the game I was rooting for Chris when he came back I didn’t think he could win tho boy was I wrong
The best blindside was Ananda’s idol play the miss direction the whole episode was amazing.
From crying to "I got the idol!" Classic.
I just rewatched EOE, and the lengths the editors went to making Chris invisible until his return is staggering. So many other Edge players got more confessionals, personal stories, etc. There were zero breadcrumbs Chris was the returnee, no matter what way you want to dissect. Imagine if they had made us fall in love with Chris on Edge, so we could at least root (or SOMETHING) for him when he got back. IMO, it was a total failure in storytelling editing when they could've leaned into and made it exciting.
Edgic called Chris as the Returnee tho. While he wasn't always shown, he still had somewhat of s story unlike everyone else on Edge except Aubry. The rest, while had Confessionals, their stories seemed finished once they arrived to EoE or they were Reem
@@loynco9299 I disagree, but that's just my opinion after re-watching last week. Chris also posted a pic in the merge buff on Instagram right when the show started, so everyone on Reddit knew it was him, which can influence how someone makes an edgic chart. And when we found out he wasn't banned from the live-show as is the norm, most assumed he won. What a miserable week that was lol.
I missed the Mayor of slamtown on this list. That was a scream-worth edit blindside
Pls consider making videos of International Survivor, especially AUS and SA. Great video as always xoxo JT
Aussie survivor is fire
This! It's a great content source while production is delayed and there so much strategy evolution over these new seasons
How can you watch it?
Chase Willett some are on the survivor official RUclips channel
@@chasewillett6067 also search for links on reddit and on dailymotion
Knives Out is such a good movie. Love you included a clip of it in the video :)
Alec’s trout face gets me every time 😂 11:10
Every time he came up on screen for the entire final tribal I almost peed my pants. Not a thought in that head.
@@annieismakingvideosonyt That final tribal had me rolling, because not only did we get Alec just sitting there with his mouth wide open the entire time, but we also had Wes trying to give himself a tongue bath or something along those lines
Devens really pulled a second chance Wentworth- 4th place, but most memorable and best player of the season
LOVING that new intro!
The only time I've had a real genuine blindside that I did not see coming at all, was oddly enough the second vote of Worlds Apart, where Vince got voted out instead of Jenn. I was absolutely convinced it was going to be her, and when he said the last vote was for Vince, my jaw just dropped and I stood there in awe for like 15 seconds before realizing that that actually happened. It's such a random vote and I don't even remember the circumstances, but it was extremely surprising for whatever reason
I love that Survivor parodies itself with their editing
Yup. Survivor editors love to poke fun every episode.
I just know Edge of Extinction would be here.
Agree 100% about Baylor--I was *sure* F3 was Nat/Missy/Baylor. Missy and Baylor were so intertwined I assumed where one finished, so did the other.
People object to Chris winning because he'd been voted out. They forget that if he hadn't won, it would have been Rick, who was also voted out and should have been just as objectionable to the purists.
I think the reason rick would have been seen as more "acceptable" is he was only out of the game for like two tribals and didn't miss much of a beat of the normal game
@@debbles10 and because the edit treated him like a hero, giving him enough screen time to have him accepted by the fans had he won
Rick is just as objectionable to many purists.
@@siwap3809 for me it wasn’t much about the edit. Mainly just the former point about missing far less tribal councils than Chris
Rick winning would've been controversial but at least he only spent 6 days on EoE and dominated the game post-merge.
When John was blindsided in David vs Goliath
Mike was too shook to sit next to the Rodfather
So far I predicted Jeremy winning, Todd winning, and Yul winning
Well apparently I’ve already watched this video cuz this is my comment. And I was like omg those were the same as me and then I realized it was my comment
The season that most resembles Kill Bill is Vanuatu with Chris getting revenge on the women who voted out all his friends. He even goes out of his way to blindside Eliza and Julie in really painful ways (bad gameplay--he was lucky he had a goat like Twila).
this should be an interesting take
I think Natalie was smart to take Missy instead of Baylor. Her blindsides all season are part of why she’s my favorite female survivor player after Parvati
lmao, I totally forgot about the 'gets clothesline by the clothes line' quote!
I really thought Lauren was gonna be the winner of EoE. Still sad about it :(
Imagine that timeline 😭
I may be misremembing but hasn't it come out afterwards that Rodney would have won World's Apart in the F3 because he actually had a really good social game?
They did a fake vote at the finale. Rodney gets 3 votes and still loses to mike.
No, he wouldn't have, watch the reunion
@@Robalexe You can't really rely on the reunion votes as canon though, because those are made after the season has aired in its entirety and the players have the luxury of watching the confessionals back and are more removed from the game. Mike's gone on record as saying that if he took Rodney to the end, there was a pretty strong chance that he'd lose to Rodney
Baylor was a recruit (which is why she got so much screen time) and also she went on to boost her music career, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
Looking back, Victoria, Lauren, and Rick getting voted out one after the other hurt as much as Parvati, Sophie, and Kim, getting voted out in winners at war
"All Rick had to do was make a fire."
Do you hear that? That music?
*Komm Susser Todd plays in the background*
FUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Natalie blindsiding Baylor was EPIC
Michaela in Game Changers, because we didn't really get a lead up to her boot when it happened, and the whole tribal was overall a chaotic mess
I remember Marcus from Gabon would go far if he reaches the merge. Then a fake-merge happens, and Suzy jumped ships, boom! Marcus first jury of Survivor Gabon!
Thanks for posting the video.
I am truly shocked the tribal council where Sarah gets voted out in Cagayan is not here. Two mis-played idols, a rollar coaster of emotions, and then Chaos Kass flipping the frigging script and my goodness. Unexpected and Welcome surprise.
Especially since Sarah had a lot of screen time which means she would make it pretty fat hmm guess not
So many shocks from Chris winning EOE, but I was rooting for him, and he made a move that really important at final 4, a move with obvious risk that jury can see...
But I agree it was editing blindsides, kudos to survivor team.
Hey, Peridiam, got a question for you. In one of the relatively early seasons, I want to say around Guatemala, but I don't think it was that season, a young man who was an early "superfan" of the show got voted out, and actually got excited, and said something like, "Yes! Blindside! Now that's the way to get voted off!" Do you remember who/when that was? (I was thinking it was Brian in Guatemala, but I watched a video of him being voted off, and he didn't say it.)
It was Jamie in Guatemala!
Video Idea: Survivor & Big Brother Twin Awards
- The OG: Boston Rob & Dr. Will Kirby
- Undercover Cop: Tony V & Derrick L
- Losing Villian: Russell H & Paul A
- Miss Congeniality: Parvati & Janelle
I don’t know, just a thought 😂 Would be cool to see the similarities across characters between the two shows.
Sweet Southern Belles: Natalie W & Jordan
Not an overwhelming moment, but DvG gave a storyline to the Elizabeth/Lyrsa friendship and I was convinced they had longevity and would at least make the merge together. I was shocked to see Lyrsa go, and especially shocked to see Elizabeth follow her.
Can't imagine most people have seen this season so I'll keep it spoiler free, but the ending of Season 4 of Survivor South Africa: Maldives left me with a, "Did I just watch the same show as them?" vibe. I just couldn't believe it.
After surviving the top five round, David's boot at the F4 of MxG caught me off guard
I am right now re-watching Edge of Extinction for the first time since it aired originally. I don’t think anyone could have predicted Chris winning, so I’m trying to see if there are any clues in the edit of the season that might hint at him winning.
the chelsea blindside in island of the idols surprised me a little
It's recently come out that Rodney was actually a jury threat the jury may not have liked his game that much but they did like him personally
Chris giving up the immunity necklace to Julie and going against Devons to make fire, I was completely shocked. I was not expecting that at all and I was so excited that he was able to pull of a risky move successfully but I didn't think he was going to win at that point. Part of me felt like the jury was going to vote for Gavin considering that he has played for the whole 39 days while Chris did not, even though he played imo a much better game than Gavin and Julie did. Finding out that Chris won was still shocking to me. Though some may disagree with his win, I felt like he deserved it.
I’m shocked u didn’t mention the John blindside in David vs Goliath
Is the phrase "sticky situation" a joke about Baylor that I don't get? Because now I've heard that specific phrase from multiple different Survivor channels when discussing her.
She recorded a song called Sticky Situation
my biggest flex is guessing chris during the first like 10 min of the show
To be fair...(SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)
I wanted Rick Devons to win that season for sure. He was funny, charming, had a great game all around, and then...Chris pulled that move and my respect for him went through the roof. I ssaw them as equally good to win, really, after Chris pulled the giving up immunity stunt. You don't DO that on Survivor unless you're either very stupid or very smart and gutsy. I'd put Chris, for obvious reasons, in the latter category. I hope one or both of them plays again.
I had Chris winning on my edge of Extinction bracket and man was that satisfying😂
the #brochachoblindside from dvg is very shocking to me
Natalie White winning is definitely up there for me
Being a survivor editor is my dream job
Have you done Australian survivor? It may not have been around long but will you love David
An underrated one for me was Mari in Millennials v. Gen X instead of Figgy. I have never been so disgusted by the outcome of a vote.
Tweedle Dee and tweedle dumb... accurate response...funny too!
Hi Peridiam, I don’t know how much blindsides there are of when there is a split vote but the minority pulls out the majority because they split the vote but if there are enough of those blindsides can you please do a video of it? :)
I’m pretty sure the John vote in DvG is the only actual time a minority split vote happened.
@@TheMurrmursonbottle oh yes I remember that, I meant like if the majority alliance splits their votes and because the majority alliance split their votes the minority ends up having the majority. Sorry I didn’t word it good at all LOL
@@matthewlobello8972 Ah I see what you mean, like Sophie’s blindside in WaW where Tony is able to flip numbers because of the split vote
@@TheMurrmursonbottle Yesss!! Spot on
I think Chris took everyone by surprise. I was really glad Rick didn't win
The ending of Kaoh Rong was one for me. Not so much Michele winning (kind of had a feeling that was going to happen), but the manner of it. based on numbers, I was certain it was going to be a final two, Aubry would lose immunity at final three and get voted out. Plus, based on the edit, it seemed like there was no way for Aubry to lose if she was in the finals. She had a number of allies on there who still liked her, and even her enemies were complimenting her right before they got voted out. Didn't expect her to lose a final vote to anyone, let alone Michele. No disrespect to Michele, though. She played a great game. I just prefer Aubry, and I feel like the edit supported my biases.
SJDS is so underrated
any proof of you guessing winners from episode 1??????
oh i was souls convinced lauren was winning edge of extinction and even after she got voted out i would’ve bet money chris wasn’t winning
I don't care what you think, I love Chris winning his season. The way he seemed to be so out of the blue and his gutsy move at the final 4 was everything you could ask for. The only person I thought could beat him at the end was Gavin, so when he won I went ecstatic! This wasn't my first time seeing someone who lost earlier return to take the crown either. I believe Chris could do it, and he won! That was a real second chance there!
Chris had a huge unfair advantage being able to bond with the jury outside the game and not having to vote them out to make Day 39.
There was no guarantee he won. I thought it would be Chris verses Gavin at the end because the latter played a fantastic under-the-radar game that caught my eye towards the merge. He was a candidate in my eyes with how he didn't get under anybody's bad side by being rude and bossy, and I would have been happy if he won the game as well.
Natalie White: Hello Peridiam, hope u remember me
I think some of the pagongings in certain seasons were definitely edited to try and make it more suspenseful, which made it all the more disappointing when a tribe played it straight and stuck together.
Nat balled out; so true!
