I don't think Cirie ever came off as villainous though, even as part of the Black Widow brigade and that's just a testament to how smart and how likable she was as a player. Deserved to be a winner
I have seen this tribal council where they convince Erik to give up his idol like 7 times in different videos and it ALWAYS makes me feel like "That's how survivor is meant to be played." I love it. That's wild and it gets me every time.
That’s why that season was exciting. It wasn’t just a power alliance picking off people. It was the alliance morphing and they picked off their own alliance brutally 😂😂😂😂 it was savage. And Cirie made the season excellent. I just love Cirie
@@aaronsmith4806 ofc it was always the challenge. that challenge would’ve been the final 4 immunity challenge if James wasn’t evacuated. because he was…everything got pushed back
Honestly cirie is probably the best player. She can go into a season with everyone feeling comfortable and go very far. Many of these former winners can’t do that like Cirie. She proved this with her performance on the traitors.
Yeah the only time she definily get eliminated is in heroes vs villans only because how smart and theartful she is the other times exept for exile she is robbed really WHY you bring back sierra in game changer season were she dont make no one big move in her original season ,but sierra back and made the BIG move of game changers give her idol to sarah besides i really Love how sarah win and the fact that is because of sierra move we have the incredible sarah and Tony storyline in WatW cirie deserve to win .
I agree, but the thing that always gets me is that she seemingly never worked on her **physical game** despite the fact that, at some point after Micronesia, she made the decision to make Survivor her livelihood. It never made sense to me because she lost Micronesia based on a physical challenge- it was the one based on grip strength (and concentration) and she even admitted that was the challenge she should have won. Amanda won and she chose Parv, and the rest is history. Had Cirie won that challenge, she would likely have won the season. I'm not saying she needed to get buff and become an athlete, but there are so many things she could have practiced in the time between seasons (like balance and coordination and yes, grip strength) that could have helped improve her game in a place it was weak. In the later returning seasons when she was an obvious threat, being able to win an immunity challenge could have significantly advanced her game. I really don't get it.
@@lizfinkelstein1323 these challenges nowadays are the same old physical challenges instead of the puzzles how it used to be. I do think these challenges give the guys the upper hand. I’d love to see more luck and skill, he’ll even trivia or the jury challenge they used to do. Not to take away from our female survivor challenge beasts.
Amanda tested Cirie at the final 6 with her idol. Cirie letting Amanda go was the push that probably outed her. The idol was basically perfect to test her and she didn’t even try to help Amanda.
@@brittanysmith3572 that is true but at the same time asking Amanda to sacrifice Parvati who was willing to vote with her rather than Cirie who was fine sacrificing her is redundant.
Natalie deserves a ton of credit for executing the "convince Jason not to play the idol" and "convince Erik to give up immunity" plans, but the edit really did not give Cirie enough credit for being the mastermind of both plans
Here’s a fact with one exception Cirie’s eliminations had to do with Physical game: First Season: Loses Fire and is voted off Second season: Loses final immunity and is voted off Third season: This is the one exception where she gets Idoled out. Fourth Season: Unable to win immunity and is out by default.
But not to forget that she got robbed by the production. On her 2nd season just because a damn twist with Final 2 she couldn‘t win. If it was a final with 3 players she would won no matter what. And in her last season there were to many idols in the game she had the potential to go at least final 4. Yeah in game changers the players knew her already and would not took her with them on the final 3 but on Fans vs Favourites she should have won. One of the most robbed Players ever in Survivor history.
I commented about this above, but it never made sense to me why she didn't use her time off Survivor to practice the physical things she knew would always be relevant to Survivor. At some point she clearly chose Survivor as her career, so why not get better at the physical aspects of the show, especially those that favor women like balance and endurance.
Thats right exactly the way how I was thinking. I love Parvati but her game in HvsV was stronger than in Micronesia. Micronesia was meant for Cirie but the production had to rob her with the Final 2 twist.
@@muhammedyilmaz7777 "Micronesia was meant for Cirie but the production had to rob her with the Final 2 twist." I know this is the common belief about that season, but that final IC was tailor made for Cirie- she said as much after. Holding things steady is (or was) her job as a surgical nurse. It was also probably the only physical challenge she had a chance at over the younger and fitter Amanda and Parv.
That was the right decision. If she would go with the Penner alliance she would not come that far I think. And hey, we would not have the Black Widow Brigade and she would have definetly won this one bit there had to be a final 2… thanks production
I've loved watching your story videos. I haven't watched a single episode of Survivor but have always been curious. Thanks for sharing all this info - your vids are great
Yeah she is the best no winning player of The show ever and top 10 bests persons to play the show she hass to win a season if i being in a season with her i will blow up my game only for her win because she deserve most win the game after everthing she do in the history of The show
I know I posted this on Parvati’s storyline, but Eliza’s quote “It’s a f***ing stick!” Is my absolute favorite Survivor quote ever. Eliza is my absolute favorite character ever. I love her. She could return ever season and I’d be happy.
y'know, considering that she invented the 3-2-1 split and that she was scared of a potential rock draw, i'm surprised cirie didn't just throw her vote onto natalie or parvati at final six to avoid the tie
Poor Eric. I was thinking he was a lock because he was just dominating the comps. I also feel like Jeff gives a little too much info out at tribal sometimes to stir drama.
Had Cirie played smarter at 6, she could have easily reached FTC without any problems. They should have split the votes between Amanda and Parvati during that time just to keep safe. THEN at 4, convince Natalie to go with her and Amanda to final 3 and vote out Alexis. At Final Immunity, Cirie could have pulled a richard hatch to make Natalie and Amanda both choose her
Crazy how everyone remembers Russell playing back to back and making it to the finals but Amanda doesn’t ever get mentioned? She was a great player (not to mention smoking hot😍) like Russell tho doesn’t know how to work a jury, too bad she could have beat Parvarti!
Not sure how they'd force a tie at 4. Probably fire making between the two people tied with votes. I can't remember if back then they still decided ties by votes tagged on through previous tribals or not, but I am pretty sure they got rid of the purple rock by then.
I don't think she goes to fire in that situation though would of been Natalie vs Parvati, ultimately could still end up the same way, I do feel Amanda still wins that final one.
No, she said she approached Yau Man for an alliance on day one and he shut her down, which was dumb on his part. Penner and Yau man wanting her only when their backs were against the wall wasn't a good deal for her.
"All these women are gaslighting Erik minus Parvati. Parvati isn't doing anything here". Wasn't it her idea at least partially? Isn't it even better to not have to be the implementer of the idea and let others do the dirty work?
Making fire should be a must. Sorry but the show is called survivor and one can’t survive anything without life. No water for 3 days and you’re in trouble. So no fire , no win. The stupid idea of the new format is just more alliance crap. At the end making fire gives an unpopular good player a chance. I mean at the end of the day survivor is now a game. So make the ending up in the air because it’s more exciting!!!!! The dang alliance’s last from the first show to the last sometimes and it’s not fun anymore. The power alliance can make the game super boring as every move is pretty much just picking the non alliance members off. Natalie went to final 3 with rob. Remember the ones who are carried to the end for an easy win. It’s just less exciting with the new format
Putting up hero, villain, dumb and smart on every scene feels kinda pointless cause not every scene can be divided into those four categories. When erik wins immunity at final 6 I dunno how that could be considered “dumb” on anyone’s part. Labeling every little scene in the show one of those four words feels redundant and pointless
Labeling character moments and strategy moves are the point of these videos 😆 losing immunity to Erik is dumb when he is the target and they have to vote off an alliance member. But not every immunity loss counts as dumb or smart.
Cirie celebrating two people being pulled for medical issues (Alexis definitely would have if she didn't get voted out) is more villainous than anything most of the women on the villains tribe did. And she was a "hero"
It means she is closer to the final tribal council without voting anyone out, that is not villainous that is playing the game and having a smart take on the game
Your explanation is quite the sugarcoating of what she says to the point of disingenuous. I don't think anyone could have said that about Skupin or Caleb and gotten any apologists.
I know it isn't the popular opinion but Micronesia was really near unwatchable to me, especially in hindsight. The misandry, gaslighting mean girl clique was truly the least likable group of finalists ever and I wanted each of them to disappear. Not even get voted out, just disappear. To steal a pro-wrestling term, each woman had X-Pac levels of heat.
I love Parvati but her only strategy was flirting. In HvsV she played much better than micronesia (i know she was a flirt in HvsV too but she was more strategic).
Nah, I agree with this to be honest. To me, seeing people brag about tricking idiots wasn't as fun as seeing good players outplay each other. Like, I know it lead to arguable the most legendary moments in the history of the show, but there was a point where I wanted Erik to be like "Yo, you bitches crazy, I ain't giving you shit."
GOAT non winner.

As far as I'm concerned, Cirie is the rightful winner of Micronesia.
It's almost like the producers kept screwing her out of wins just so they could bring her back.

They made the last challenge one that she should
Be the best at though. Unless it was always that challenge, they tried to help her get to final 2

About the Ozzy blindside. I'm quite sure a bunch of people involved confirmed that Amanda actually knew. She was just playing good cop and acting.
We will get into this with the Ozzy & Amanda story video :)
Ciries first season made me love her as a person, this season made me love her as a player.
I love how savage she is but she’s so widely loved. She’s one of my favorites.
Cirie got the most confessionals this season with 52.

Cirie is one of three things Survivor fans universally enjoy. The other two are the Auction and when Jeff gets sassy

I’m so happy she won traitors. Cirie is a boss!
if you are a cirie fan you need to check out the traitors, her performance on their was amazing.
She deserved to win fan vs favs.
"That's not the idol!"
"What is it?"
"It's a (fucking) stick!"
That scene kills me every time 🤣
I can say the whole “I wanted to throw up when I saw Johnny FairPlay” from memory now 😭

Cirie carried this season on her shoulders.
I know you only talk about what is shown in the show so a fun fact: both Parv and Ozzy have confirmed that Amanda was in on the Ozzy blindside!!
We will go over this in the Ozzy & Amanda video :)
All time best. Period.
I wish they would cast her on big brother. Maybe even give her a big advantage, like a secret family in the house with her.

Hell ya!!! 3.0
Cirie in Micronesia is the most screwed player ever, as she wins a final three against Parvati and Amanda. Surprise final twos are not okay.
I feel like that ending could of been way different had cirie sided with Natalie at final 4, but who knows how that fire making would of gone
Not sure how they'd force a tie at 4. Probably fire making between the two people tied with votes.
I can't remember if back then they still decided ties by votes tagged on through previous tribals or not, but I am pretty sure they got rid of the purple rock by then.
She would do a fire making competition at final 4 just like she did in season 12 and I highly doubt Cirie would want that.
Or if she had gone with Natalie and Eric at the final 5 against Amanda she would have only had to get rid of Eric to win.
I don't think she goes to fire in that situation though would of been Natalie vs Parvati, ultimately could still end up the same way, I do feel Amanda still wins that final one.
When in doubt, blame Chet
It’s his fault Cirie was robbed, I just know it!
THANKS CHET!
pre game alliance. that's why she was against you and Penner.
Yeah, the anti Penner sentiment definitely wasn't from anything he did in game.
