I feel like Francesca trying to bury the hatchet with Phillip Sheppard deserves an honorable mention, as well as Maddy's attempt to blindside Brandon idol-in-pocket in Survivor 44
I feel like Francesca was absolutely screwed by having Phillip on the season (despite that undoubtedly being the only reason she was cast). Had Phillip been cut last minute, Francesca makes it to the swap AT LEAST.
i can't personally agree with putting maddy on here because she didn't even attempt to split the vote despite having the entire tribe on her side(ish -- tho at minimum brandon was the only one who wrote her name down which is what's important here) and KNOWING brandon had the idol and there had to have been a decent shot that plan that again, she brought literally everyone else in on, would leak to brandon or he'd otherwise just get sussed out i do really admire how ballsy the play was and kind of wished we lived in the universe where it actually worked and maddy runs her tribe with an iron fist, but it was really not the smartest of plays imo
@@uglyaniimals She couldn’t have split the vote there, they enter that tribal knowing that Jamie and Lauren aren’t voting so that leaves Maddy, Kane, Brandon and Matthew voting. Who does she split on? Matthew is the only realistic option (she was never getting votes on Lauren there and Jamie is playing SitD) so she can’t organize a vote split with him and she’s attempting to blindside Brandon. That just leaves her and Kane, you can’t vote split with only two people when there are two other votes in play. Matthew and Brandon could just put their two votes on Maddy, with Brandon remaining in the game still with the idol. Of course we know with hindsight that Matthew wasn’t voting either so they actually could’ve split the vote but they couldn’t have known that he would play SitD. The only real problem with Maddy’s move here is bringing Matthew in on the vote instead of blindsiding him too and also trying to take out someone with an idol. I heard in her post-game interviews that Matthew found out about Brandon being the target so she had to tell him which fine, but that’s when you have to pivot and flip the vote on to Matthew as the blindside has been compromised.
@@handsoaphandsoap oh wait did she know abt lauren not having a vote pre tribal ? i guess if she was aware of that + was confident jamie was gonna play her shot in the dark then you can't rly split there, altho i agree she should've just pivoted to matthew at that point
@@uglyaniimals Lauren fessed up after Claire pretty much exposed her at the challenge so they all knew but they cut that from the show, probably to make the vote more suspenseful. Or at least I remember the Ratu people talking about it post-season, I could be misremembering. At least, the next episode they all talk how she got the extra vote as if they all knew about it so it definitely sounds like, even in the edit, that they knew.
Vecepia targeting Neleh has to be one of them. She lucked out when Pascal drew the purple rock. If Kathy draws it, Vee is going to F3 with an unbreakable duo. If Neleh draws it, Vee loses the only person she can beat at FTC.
Tony letting Trish get voted out, Tyson not playing his idol at the final 6, Sandra not voting for Danielle at the final 7, Nick’s fake idol scheme that got him targeted, Ben playing his idol before the votes were cast, Gabler immediately throwing Elie under the bus before consulting Owen or Sami, Ethan telling Brandon he deserved the money the least, Brian not telling Helen he was sending her home before tribal, Chris voting out John over Twila or Julie at the final 11, Yam Yam throwing out a name before the Mergatory winners got back to camp Quite a lot of options actually
Anything social Ben did in HHH post-JP elimination. In any other season, Ben was a dead man walking and had no shot to win with his bad social and strategic game. However, this is HHH we're talking about; the season that gifted Ben with 3 easy-to-find idols and a sudden fire-making final 4 twist that conveniently saved him. Ben should not be a winner, but due to lazy idol plantings and a poor twist decision from production, he became one.
@@XanderMatthews-nv9zf Tony voting out Trish was the right move and why would Sandra vote out Danielle at final 7 when there were two heroes still left in the game that would beat her?
Maddy on 44, while she makes glaring mistakes, is the only first boot whose plan actually went through during their boot. That's at least worth a placement.
Natalie White even mentioned Marisa in her jury speech defending how all the strong women targeting Russell went home early so she had to play the way she did
Oh God she was awful though, as was her closest buddy, the guy whose name I can't even remember lol he was that forgettable....Nathan, it came to me. There was a lot of arrogance on both tribes early on, but most of them got the boot.
I really think she was kinda collateral damage for Nathan’s less than well played alliance recruitment strategy of offering to drag the weak people to the merge. If only the other options weren’t Jaden and Nathan
i didn't realize it until now but between phil, anastasia, and frankie (who is really the only one of these who at least partly did it to herself but had LOTS of potential), there are some really strong first boots in aus survivor
honorable mention to Sonja for being so likable with her ukulele and sweetness that the future first winner of the franchise refused to vote her out and instead targeted the first disruptor, Stacy, for "personal reasons"
@@SissyFlower5 So you want a season comprised of people who sucked at the game vs people who did well? Lol that would be more uneven than Fans Vs Favourites. First boots are first boots for a reason, they're not very good at Survivor 😂
I’d be down for an all pre-mergers season, the first boots vs losing finalists is honestly super lopsided to me. One group played horribly and has no prior reputation meanwhile the other has been given 12 episodes of legacy and lacked the killer instinct to win the game
When I first read the title of this video, I was like, "Am I supposed to take this seriously?" That being said, good video as always. Really surprised Maddie didn't make the list.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong She handled it fine. Russell was just a lunatic that had everyone believing his lies and she didn't fall for it so he felt threatened. She had great intuition, but the others didn't know who they were dealing with when it came to Russell
10:20 Don't quote me on this but I believe he's said he would've sided against Parvati, however Cirie says she would've sided with her so it's not clear who would've gone home. I think he would've folded in the rock draw negotiation
Remind me. Has there ever been an all returnee season of Survivor featuring an entire cast if 1st boots? Because if not, it's something I've always thought they should do.
Damn I was expecting to see Maddy from 44. Not one move in particular I could point to, but I feel like she was a savvy strategic player that was right most of the time. And it turns out the one person who found the idol (and wasnt as savvy) targeted her with the idol
I'd argue the pre-merge was more entertaining. The Diane/Clarence bean controversy, the old-young Samburu showdown, Linda going crazy, and Silas/Lindsay getting karma post-swap for how they treated the older Samburus. Even the beginning of post-merge was great; Clarence getting thrown under the bus, the Lex throwaway vote incident that almost led to Kelly singlehandedly causing the first ever huge power shift, Brandon and Frank's awkward rivalry, and Brandon's poor choice to switch at final 9 leading to his final 8 downfall. The final 7 onwards became a snooze-fest, with only the Boran tensions at final 4 being somewhat entertaining.
Fight me: Zane explains that telling everyone to vote for him was reverse psychology, and the show shows it to be *working* ... until he makes a stupid hint to a hidden immunity idol. Without that, what everyone mocks him for was actually reasonably effective.
Actually, Fairplay has said (multiple times) that he would've joined the Penner Yau Man Amy Eliza alliance and Parviti would have been the first to go.
Super honorable mention is Timber Tina. Production was split between Tina and Terry as the winner of the season. Timber Tina was an absolute beast of a older woman. Her son dying was so devestating to her that she was unable to form connections with her tribe which led her to being outplayed by a woman who was afraid of leaves (not to mention this woman becomes the best player to not win the game with her strategic mind) Timber Tina would have been a force to be reckoned with if she could have played a few seasons later after she had time to process her horrendous loss and not having to be going against Cirie
I would love to see Marisa get a second chance on some kind of early-boots / pre-merge boots season. Last I heard, she was living in the Netherlands so not sure whether she’d even accept an invitation to play again though.
I think giving up the brawn challenge early was genuinely a good move, but the way in which Jelinsky did it just made his situation worse. Conserving your energy and giving up as early as possible in a challenge you can't win is the right move. He could have positioned it as a smart move, but instead just made himself look like a quitter.
proving even more just how much russell is universally disliked as an individual, if you have the first boot coming for you that should say everything for what's to come
🚨Spoiler🚨 I’m surprised that Maddy (S44) isn’t on this list. She was the only one to be in the majority and stay there. Yes, she made the mistake of targeting the guy with an idol, but for first boot standards, being in the majority is better than most
Erica breaks an hourglass and wins the game Jelenski breaks an hourglass and gets voted off for it We can't be results oriented thinkers. He should be #1
Развлечения
Spoiler Jelinsky breaking the hour glass is number 1
Legendary
He just wanted to go back in time to get on a better tribe
Obviously
He really liked the hourglass twist and thought it was still a thing.
Honestly, Jelinsky was a genius and a hard worker. He never quit and shouldn't have been the first boot.

#1 Jelinski branding himself as legend, in the era of merch, those t-shirts will be flying off the shelves
Jelenski, Wendy, Zane, Wanda, Reem and Chicken would be waw levels of iconic
The top six of Survivor: First Boots
DAYUM!
i feel like wendy jo and chicken would either love or hate each other
@@IdoledOutFrancesca should also be on there so there would be a top several of Survivor: First Boots
I can’t believe we didn’t get Chicken being passive aggressive when setting up the camp as one of the moves here
He built a dayamn fine shelter
Francesca being a 2x first boot is brutal af and the dig at Carolina was hilarious 😂
Ready for the 1st boot season when Jelinski becomes the prince of Survivor after he wins 😂
"What do you want me to do ? Put Debb wanting to make a shelter out of rocks ?" You don't know, maybe she could have throw some on Skupin
I’d love to see a “Worst moves by winners” video for comparison!

She kinda succeeded, only bad part was going directly at Brandon instead of Matthew
Yup, surprised he didn’t put her on here
Dating David Murphy 😂 sir she was also engaged to him too 💀
Reem is my favorite first boot because she was the main character of EOE in my opinion!
Fairplay has said he was targeting Parv and her group. In his podcast he has talked about a preseason alliance he had with Yau-Man and Penner.
all hail ZANE
all hail ZANE
all hail ZANE
“Dating David Murphy in the future” yikes, I forgot about Carolina.
I'M SO HAPPY MARISA MADE THIS LIST! she's so underrated & is top 3 favorite first boots ever
Natalie White even mentioned Marisa in her jury speech defending how all the strong women targeting Russell went home early so she had to play the way she did
I like this idea for a video! Give First Boots their flowers!
I literally was searching for an Idoled Out video to watch during my lunch break and then this popped up in my notifications 😂
Damn, you've got to work on a Sunday?
I hope it pays well at least
@@crazyinsanepenguin having uni during the weekdays practically forces me to work weekends
I always remember So Kim seeming so strategic and felt in another life she would have done really well
I see Zane on the thumbnail, I click
Francesc-QUA
His mouth was just dry guys
I gotta say Frankie trying to unite the men’s alliance in the most recent AUS was actually a pretty good move. She showed signs of promise.
Oh God she was awful though, as was her closest buddy, the guy whose name I can't even remember lol he was that forgettable....Nathan, it came to me. There was a lot of arrogance on both tribes early on, but most of them got the boot.

The Deb yelling about rocks made me chuckle loudly. Thank you
that Debb clip made me laugh so hard
Can we PLEASE get at least an all first boots tribe.
vs a tribe of 0 vote finalists. The two most based groups of survivor players. CBS hire me
@@SissyFlower5 So you want a season comprised of people who sucked at the game vs people who did well? Lol that would be more uneven than Fans Vs Favourites. First boots are first boots for a reason, they're not very good at Survivor 😂

i love how zane made it into both of these videos

Nah, she gets way too overrated. She figured Russell out, but handled it horribly and wasn't very well liked by most people on the tribe.

Hey, I'm early today!! I was literally JUST thinking about what an Idoled Out video of this topic would be like 😂
Also gonna try to predict the worst moves made by first boots
1. Chicken
2. Maddy Pomilla
3. Jelinsky
4. Wendy Jo
5. Zane
Babe wake up, Idoled out dropped a new video
Damn I was expecting to see Maddy from 44. Not one move in particular I could point to, but I feel like she was a savvy strategic player that was right most of the time. And it turns out the one person who found the idol (and wasnt as savvy) targeted her with the idol
Idk if you have it planned but I think a video ranking the Top 10 hardest seasons of Survivor would be very interesting
You a bad man mixing those clips in the Russell seed section lmao
I've been pushing for years for an all first boots season of Survivor
I would love a survivor and/ or big brother all first boots season. We’ve done winners, why not go to the opposite
Africa was a odd season pre merge for sure but the first ever swap and a good post merge balances out this season
I'd argue the pre-merge was more entertaining. The Diane/Clarence bean controversy, the old-young Samburu showdown, Linda going crazy, and Silas/Lindsay getting karma post-swap for how they treated the older Samburus.
Even the beginning of post-merge was great; Clarence getting thrown under the bus, the Lex throwaway vote incident that almost led to Kelly singlehandedly causing the first ever huge power shift, Brandon and Frank's awkward rivalry, and Brandon's poor choice to switch at final 9 leading to his final 8 downfall.

I mean...Hear me out...Natalie getting voted out, then getting 100k for it.

Still waiting for a WAW season but it’s all first boots
Francesca on caramoan made the best move not gameplay wise but rocks are delicious
Zane was really like that!

NOT RUSSEL SEED 😭😭
And Janu spitting after it SCREAMING
Oooooh first time I’ve been here this early! Let’s go
If you haven't covered this yet, I'd like to see a video of the players most screwed by tribe swaps

Now make best and worst moves by second boots
Third boots, fourth boots
I love first boots !!!!!!!!!
What about worst moves from great players?
I think he might’ve already done one like that, I’m not sure.
He started a series on some of the biggest names, their five best moves plus their one worst. I don’t think he got very far with it.
I'ma play chess the best way I know how. So I'muh king me
I’m pretty sure Betsy was also weary of Russell
You should do a video reverse engineering themes for the new era seasons
franchesquaa
You got to feel bad for Clarence, bro was just trying to be a good human. Unfortunately you can’t be a good human on Survivor.
How about top 5 best survivor Reunions
Maddy (she is first boot but not first out)
🚨Spoiler🚨
I’m surprised that Maddy (S44) isn’t on this list. She was the only one to be in the majority and stay there. Yes, she made the mistake of targeting the guy with an idol, but for first boot standards, being in the majority is better than most
This is all incorrect, the best move made by a first boot is Gillian illuminating her tribes knowledge of elephant dung. #robbedqueen
Frist
Erica breaks an hourglass and wins the game
Jelenski breaks an hourglass and gets voted off for it
We can't be results oriented thinkers. He should be #1
Imagine a season where everyone cast were first boot material.
They shouldn’t have brought back any of the winners for All Stars
fairplay is basically cheating, he basically quit unlike everyone else in the running
