i think his thank you was for her taking it so well because you could also tell he wasnt happy with how that went. Yea production staff def got a phone call later about wayyy to many idols and safeties
@ it’s the worst as in production screwed up so badly that Cirie was voted about by default because there was literally no other option. There should never be so many advantages available to be played at once that someone is eliminated simply because they are the only person who is available to receive votes/the only person without an advantage
If there wasn't a single vote for her, then there should have been six players in the next round. Everybody else was immune, and no one voted for her, so no one got eliminated. Kicking her out is just ridiculous.
She wasn't sent home with 0 votes. She was effectively sent home with 5 votes. It was going to be a tie leading to a 2nd vote where she was the only one available to receive votes. She wouldn't even be able to vote in the 2nd vote really, because you can't vote for yourself and everybody else had immunity.
Christian using his idol and Gabby getting voted out is so satisfying if you saw the season and know that Gabby and Christian were BFFs right up until she randomly decided to try to blindside him that episode to "make a move." Make your move right out the door, lady.
christian was probably screwed regardless, the carl move only benefited gabby which makes it worse gabby sunk his game and then tried to vote him out @@ligma8772
Devan doesn’t get enough credit for saving his own ass by putting a vote on Mike😳👏 Edit: Also loved the way he immediately owned up to it and was man enough to look him in the eye as he told him. Tells me two things: 1) He has the balls to stand by his moves. 2) He fully respected Dr. Mike and it was strictly a game move.
I will always love the clip of Rick calling out Ron and Julie for being terrible people that just wanted to humiliate him, before idoling out Ron anyways.
I’m sorry but what’s the hype in this move? My memory isn’t that good on this season but seriously, what’s exactly that great? This isn’t remotely amazing whatsoever. This is blatantly common sense. Throwing a hanky vote on someone just in case an idol is played is like a split vote but way less impressive lmao. I’m not trying to take away from Devon, it’s still a decent move.. but I never understood the hype. Also, saying that, that’s one of the best strategic gameplay on a season of HvHvH isn’t that impressive. Sure the season was strategy-heavy but the gameplay itself wasn’t good.
@@vjbowe242 tbh I don’t think that would happen I just think the idols would’ve canceled each other out, and whoever had the highest amount of votes would go
The way Cirie handled herself in tribal should be in the video that they show kids on “How to be a good sport.” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Just made the fact that she was eliminated (on a producer mess up) that much worse. Fantastic role model.
Producer mess up? Didn't seem that way to me. Only way it would have been a screw up on their end was if she also had immunity meaning no-one could get kicked off.
9:33 this was a great play for the Davids, they used the idol correctly in saving Christian, made the Goliaths waste their idol and Goliaths also lost a strong player.
I wonder if Dan used that other idol on John what would have happened in that potential bloodbath, since that would make all of the original targets safe. Maybe Jeremy does not survive on the revote?
I love the fact that Troyzan played his idol not because he realised only he and Cirie were the only people who could be voted out. My man just wanted to get on the train!
It depends. Sometimes its just extremely good gameplay you cant hate on but at the same time its a million dollars and ppl back stab, they’re human xant help but be hurt but im sure they get over it later
Devens is a badass idk if he won his season or not but he owned that entire counsel made them look like chumps 😂 I'd be happy if he was my dad, definitely not stupid lol
Deven's first idol play, to my knowledge, is the only one (not including ones that result in a second vote) where the person didn't even vote for the person who ended up going home. Devens cast the vote for Aurora.
I miss this Survivor. This "new" Survivor with the beware advantages take all the fun out of the show. I also miss Redemption Island. That was a fun addition.
Yeah it makes it tough sometimes to get the immunity power from the idol. Sometimes I like it though. I think it should be a balance of both. Like different colors for beware advantages vs regular immunity idols
That's because you're older and you're type of people that say that they miss the old survivor make people of color like me and others feel like they're not welcome because the old survivor gave privilege to its white players that colored people did not have. In season 42 episode named "game of chicken" It is explained best by the winner. Privileges and burdens.
@@thestupidgypsy OMG. You made absolutely no sense. Maybe because you are not older. Just because I liked that version of Survivor has nothing to do with anything other than that is my preference. I liked the multiple idols that were in play and not these strange idols now where you have to beg people for beads or risk your vote. It is not about race either. Where do you come up with this nonsense?
Devon voting Mike to force a tie is a high IQ move that I barely see anyone talk about. It's one of the smartest moves anyone has done in the history of survivor
@John Brown Ohhh! Thank you for clearing that up! I was so curious. This does lead me to another question though. Ozzy got voted out before he played that idol, so wouldn’t he have kept that? I suppose he must have given it back to the show at some point, but I always thought a benefit to not playing an idol was getting to keep it as a souvenir.
When Jeff asked Cirie if she wanted to say it, I was hoping she would have said "The GAME Has Spoken" as that is what got her eliminated, not the tribe but the RULES! All the tribe can take credit for is gamesmanship in playing their idols and advantages....period.....NOT for the actual voting.
The thing with Cirie... you could tell Jeff wanted to hit the breaks and stop it from happening. You don't see that very often. He knew it wasn't fair- that she deserved a better ending even if she wasn't going to win. There aren't a lot of players I think he's geniunely super fond of, but he was definitely rooting for her. I believe she won player of the season, so that's the consolation prize at least.
Reuben Manzo that’s what I thought because you can’t say an idol is voided but a necklace isn’t...we might find out this season as there’s so many idols
Cirie didn't have a vote for her in the urn. Therefore voting her out would have required a revote. But Jeff said in the beginning of the season that revotes won't happen. Therefore she should not have been sent home. They should have ALL been sent back to camp. They all needed immunity to avoid the vote, she used her brains. Can't believe it was a complete oversight by the producers.
If Lauren didn’t waste her idol on Chris at final 6 of Edge Of Extinction she could’ve had it for final 5 and then Julie would’ve had the same situation happen to her that happened to Cirie in Game Changers
I hate how immunity idols were handled. Brute force searching for them is dumb. That doesn’t show any merit. A better option would have been super complicated clues and a puzzle needing to be solved. Or, hidden idols on team challenges, and OPEN idols on individual challenges that act as detours from the main challenge.
Every idol play here is disgusting except Michaels one and the DvG ones. they need to stop loading the game with idols it just makes idol plays unentertaining
Entertain Yourself the reason I’m saying it is because every idol play is representative of the proliferation of twists and advantages present in modern survivor. Ciries vote off was horrific. Watching the best social player of all time go home with 0 votes because she wasn’t the best scavenger hunter should have been indication enough that survivor was headed in a horrible new direction. I apologise, Alan Balls voteoff is fine. The Ben idol plays are again indicative of poor strategic and social play, only saved because of his scavenger hunting skills- not what the game is about. Ghost Islands one was fine although boring. The DvG idol plays are fine because they were combined with intelligent strategic and social play (Split minority vote, the Blindside of Gaby, and Christian pretending to be clueless). The idols weren’t tools to push players to the end who had no other means of making it there, rather they were utilised intelligently in strategic gameplay. But in EoE we get back to players like Rick and Chris who had poor strategic and social gameplay, and were unable to get themselves to the end without a plethora of twists, idols and advantages. Gone are the days of intelligent idol plays like Russell’s, Parvati’s, Malcolm’s and Kelley Wentworths. Idols no longer come with the risk factor of “will I find this again? Is it worth me playing?” Because of course the underdog will refind the idol. So contestants can just rely upon their scavenging skills instead of social or strategic gameplay. And it’s disheartening to watch players like Cirie, Chrissy, Devon, and Victoria get snubbed due to players with poor gameplay throwing themselves to the end.
@@edendorra7231 I think that the increased number of idols has forced players to be more strategic tho. Think about it. The Davids split their minority vote in case of the Goliaths had an idol, when the Davids already had 2. That level of gameplay would never occur if idols were still rare. Also more and more lately, obvious winners have emerged thanks to top heavy casts such as your Bens and Devens, who played at such a high level in the first half of the post merge that they needed idols to stay in the game. While I think Lauren and Victoria, as well as Devon are quality to good players, once they realised the caliber of opponents they had in Ben and Devens, it doesn't benefit them to ally with them. This is why in recent seasons, the "likely winner" exits at the final 4 when they can no longer idol themselves to the end. (Devens in EoE, David in MvGX, Wentworth in 2C, etc) This situation used to be fairly rare, with the occasion Malcolm or Cagayan Spencer, but Survivor casting has been lackluster lately, in terms of strategic impact. (With a few obvious exceptions) I mean, there's a reason a player like Adam won, when he was arguably hardly a top 5 player in his season, or Chris who was CERTAINLY not a top 5 player in his season. Great players either need idols, or a cast of terrible players to reach the end these days most of the time. Personally I think Devon should have won HHH, even if Ben was there, but juries eat up the underdog hero with a bag of idols, especially when they are as goddamn charismatic as Devens. Nobody used to cry when Russell found his idols, or Tai, or Parvati. Cuz for the most part, they were never threats to win, just fun characters buying themselves 3 more days. But when a contender goes on an idol run, all of the sudden its bad gameplay, and fans begin accusing production of rigging the game.
Cirie got screwed over by production putting WAY too many idols/advantages into the game; while it made for a first and never again type of tribal, complete b.s. Mama Cirie deserved better but she handled it with poise and grace. I would have been in a fit of rage but she was so respectful which says a lot about her and is one reasons we Survivor stans always will love her.
They could add a rule that only 3 idols maximum can be played at a single tribal council and whoever is fastest gets to play it. So Troyzan couldnt have played his if he waited for others to play theirs.
The way how after Cirie says “thank you, Jeff” after the worst vote-out ever and Jeff responds with, “thank YOU, Cirie” hits so hard
cirie has always shown respect
i think his thank you was for her taking it so well because you could also tell he wasnt happy with how that went. Yea production staff def got a phone call later about wayyy to many idols and safeties
Woooaaahhh!! I'm a crossover fan from BB. This is how Cerie went out!??? Ohh noooooo. 😮😮😮
How is it the worst? They saved and played their idols to be used how intended. To force the vote.

There should never be so many advantages available to be played at once that someone is eliminated simply because they are the only person who is available to receive votes/the only person without an advantage
Cirie getting voted out was a lesson to the producers that they had too many idols in the game, that could all be played at the same time.
Yeah it is too much. I don't like that there are too many advantages in game. I feel like in australian survivor there is fine balance to this.
You’d think they’d learn their lesson.
Absolutely agree Cirie should not have gone out like that
It was surprising that because of this, Cirie was automatically eliminated, even though none of the votes were for her.
If there wasn't a single vote for her, then there should have been six players in the next round. Everybody else was immune, and no one voted for her, so no one got eliminated. Kicking her out is just ridiculous.
Cirie is a class act. She handled being eliminated very well
She went out in an anime character moment where she was the only one without a trap card
@@bigsundays9058deck full of monsters 😅
No but tbh it was bs. Jeff said there were NO VOTES against her, so technically, nobody should be eliminated that night.

While I think Lauren and Victoria, as well as Devon are quality to good players, once they realised the caliber of opponents they had in Ben and Devens, it doesn't benefit them to ally with them. This is why in recent seasons, the "likely winner" exits at the final 4 when they can no longer idol themselves to the end. (Devens in EoE, David in MvGX, Wentworth in 2C, etc) This situation used to be fairly rare, with the occasion Malcolm or Cagayan Spencer, but Survivor casting has been lackluster lately, in terms of strategic impact. (With a few obvious exceptions) I mean, there's a reason a player like Adam won, when he was arguably hardly a top 5 player in his season, or Chris who was CERTAINLY not a top 5 player in his season. Great players either need idols, or a cast of terrible players to reach the end these days most of the time. Personally I think Devon should have won HHH, even if Ben was there, but juries eat up the underdog hero with a bag of idols, especially when they are as goddamn charismatic as Devens. Nobody used to cry when Russell found his idols, or Tai, or Parvati. Cuz for the most part, they were never threats to win, just fun characters buying themselves 3 more days. But when a contender goes on an idol run, all of the sudden its bad gameplay, and fans begin accusing production of rigging the game.
Agreed, production might as well put idols in their bags before going into tribal.
Literally everyone voted Ben yet he won the season 🤣🤣🤣
10:45 Disventure Camp Season 2 Elimination Music???
Cirie got screwed over by production putting WAY too many idols/advantages into the game; while it made for a first and never again type of tribal, complete b.s. Mama Cirie deserved better but she handled it with poise and grace. I would have been in a fit of rage but she was so respectful which says a lot about her and is one reasons we Survivor stans always will love her.
They could add a rule that only 3 idols maximum can be played at a single tribal council and whoever is fastest gets to play it. So Troyzan couldnt have played his if he waited for others to play theirs.
Why am I watching this with absolutely no context
So they through ozzys stick in the fire originally. Did they pull it out or is it a fake ozzy stick 🤔
The minority split in DvG is still so cool
Heartbreaking to see Cirie go like that 😓
Season 46 is getting wiped away from history on videos like this 😂
ben was the man this season he did the work and got the win
John voted out reaction was the cutest
Holy snap!!! Sierra looks Absolutely gorgeous
Cirie -THE TRIBE HAS NOT SPOKEN ❤❤
4 things being played at once is insane in the first clip
Nothing is better than the minority split vote. It’s so freaking risky but when it pays off, it’s amazing.
Tai was one of the nicest players
@6:20 Devins play on Dr Mike, is one of my all time favorites next to Magic Malcolm immunity slaughter on Fillup S26!
When Cirie got voted out, the tribe hasn’t spoken, “the game” has spoken
17:44 tf? pl-*ay*
HAHAJAHVHHGHBIKPLMAOINUUGG 😂😭
