Board 8 > Survivor HHH Discussion Topic 3: Survivor Series

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think you guys are focusing too much on the placement number. Most people arent counting how many eliminations happen until the jury starts.
---

This her not being on the jury is more traditional. As opposed to the last couple of seasons.
---

Without reading Andy's spoiler, this has been my guess for this season's late-game twist for a while now...

Somebody gets to stop an elimination completely, like what Jessica did in BB this year.
---

Andy, most people don't pay attention to the placement. They see everyone who makes the merge (at 11) then makes the jury, and that's what sticks.

I was surprised Jess didn't make jury, but then I also don't pay attention to that stat like most people.
---

Something that just hit me about the 2016-17 Survivor/TAR/BB season - out of all the winners, Sarah was the only one who wasn't a trainwreck for at least half the season.

You know, I've gotta give Joe some credit there. If you got blindsided, keep your cool and play it off. But better than that, make a big show of congratulating one person (the person you consider your biggest threat) to start planting those seeds of doubt. "Why is he giving all the credit to Ben? Ben's gonna win this season."
---

interesting twist! seems a bit fanfic-y tho
---

I don't hate that advantage because unlike Steven and Dan. Lauren could potentially keep it a secret.

What the hell this reward?
---

slick ryan
---

This is actually pretty hilarious.
---

Ryan doing what Cole should have fucking done
---

chrissy is so dumb with her voice like at the merge
---

THAT'S their tribe flag? They didn't even fucking write NAMES on it? What kind of impersonal bullshit is that?
---

Oh fuck OFFFFFFFFF Ryan.
---

haha no alan to do a search
---

Cole is so bad at this game.
---

ok even though ryan got it that was still pretty funny
---

How the hell did Ryan get away with that, the absolute madman.
---

I just...I'm incapable of NOT finding Ryan to be a smarmy douchebag. Like, I GET that it's hilarious to see like, five people fighting over an idol he already found...but still. I just hate his whole "This is so amusing because I can sit back and watch the peasants fight each other" shtick.
---

Inviso if I were ever on Survivor I would probably be an all time bottom 5 for you.
---

oh I mean he definitely ruined that scene but it was a lot better than I expected it to be based on the preview
---

It's the way Ryan says things that seems so much like a dick. Make Spencer seem nice.

That being said, how did JP not notice?
---

did someone say very long pole

NOWADAYS, yes. I mean, six to ten years ago, nah. But now...we have the same archetype EVERY season and they just get more and more smarmy every time.
---

Anyone else get grossed out by Ryan's heart?
---

I'm REALLY surprised that a balance beam-related challenge is being dominated so much by men (and Desi, but that's not surprising.)
---

So Desi's gone tonight, right?

I mean, Joe would be the obvious boot, but I feel like "girl that won immunity, and is less likely to have a hidden immunity idol" is a lock for elimination.
---

still a lot of time left
---

It's funny, I've been feeling a Dr. Mike boot tonight all day, but that doesn't make sense because of his idol. Joe also has an idol, so, bye Desi?

Alternatively, an idol gets played and this is the blindside of Ryan/Chrissy/Ben
---

Joe used his idol last episode and screams first juror to me.

If Ben/Lauren were to go along with a Mike boot, after just booting Jessica, they'd be extremely stupid.
---

It never quite gets old seeing someone pull off a clutch immunity win when they were otherwise obviously getting the boot.

The trick is whether or not they tease it in the preview.
---

This would be a good episode to cap off Joe's story. Played really hard and got caught with no ways out but still has love and respect for game.
---

Ben you can't split the vote when you don't outnumber them at least 2-1

I was thinking that. 4-3 split still leaves 4 on the other side. You need one of those Healer 4 to flip.

YOU

CAN'T

SPLIT

THE

VOTES

ANYWAY

caps
---

Seriously, you had NO problem taking Jessica out last round...how are you so desperate to split the votes now (without even holding a majority)?

isnt that fine cause its 6-3 on the revote?
---

I think I am biting the bait but I think it is Ben.
---

ugh chrissy

Joe is living Ben's head free of rent.

They're splitting the votes out of idol fear. If the vote is 4-(4)-3, then the Healers' four votes decide the outcome.

oh derp
