I been burned by enough of these juries. The first couple Mike votes scared me

lol just started watching the finale and if the way davie and nick are dressing is a spoiler i'm gonna be pissed.

Ang calling Alison Ali on the way out was such a passive aggressive flex

man I'm gonna miss davie. hope he comes back.

lol @ angelina wanting a fancy play just for attention. please god let this backfire.



dskjfdaskljasdfklj angelina pretending to be shocked at the fake idol is probably on my top 5 scenes of all times in survivor.

I don't remember Kelley and David.

Edit: just searched. Lol David.

great season. probably my #3 favorite to win. would have loved kara or davie winning.
it feels like kara ran really bad in the end. she was so close to getting that f3 and if she did I think she'd have great chances.

players I want to come back:
nick, davie, christian
kara, angelina

angelina reminds me so much of michael scott... it's great tv.

is the reunion worth watching?


btw, confessional tally

Final tally:

54 Angelina
53 Nick
47 Mike

17 Carl, Elizabeth
15 Natalie
13 Jeremy
12 John
11 Lyrsa

played a better game LMAO we found the old school Survivor fan. Kara didn’t do **** and is the definition of a goat. The days of coat tail riders winning are over. DEAL WITH IT

A little mystified by the Kara appreciation in the thread - she was basically an outsider to everything that happened in the last half of the season. No moves, and not that compelling a character either.

Angelina's fake idol play was one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen. You are already not well liked, and then you do something like that for no strategic purpose other than "causing fireworks", but in reality is just being unnecessarily mean to someone who's about to go on the jury. Like, maybe someone tosses her a vote or to as winner so she doesn't get shut out but then she pulls something like that?

I am also curious why Mike was so upset with Allison. It seemed to go well beyond just "she tried to get me out", but I suppose Mike was never really a target through the whole game so we never saw him react to being a target until then. The "shred of dignity" was a pretty low blow.

I came around on Mike's game a bit - he reminded me of the season the twinnie won - basically laid real low and acted like a goat until F7, then tried to turn it on. He was foiled by the fact that Nick/Davie/Christian held off on turning against each other just long enough for one of them to make it. I suspect Mike might have won against Kara and Angelina if he'd managed to get Nick out at F4 (and I think he would have done exactly that if Nick hadn't won immunity).

Huge props to Nick for not turning on Mike at F5, when he was clearly emotional over repeatedly being lied to and probably feeling like he needed another big move. Realizing how high his win equity was if he could get Allison out and putting his clearly intense personal feelings aside was a key.

Great season. Very curious as I've heard rumors that this "Edge of Extinction" thing next year involves a lot of rule changes.

great season, meh finale, but that might just be me cause I can barely stand and listen to final tribals. Something about it feels so annoying to me. Probably all the half fake takes on how the game went in their perspective when we could see it for ourselves from many different viewpoints.

almost feel bad for Natalie she'll clearly never be self aware from her birth to her death

Yeah finales suck. We have to sit through three challenges in two hours. Fire-making blows. Jeff sucks and the finale is a lot of Jeff.
Every time they separate outwit/play/last with clumsy phrasing my skin crawls

id imagine she would have gotten a completely different edit had she won the fire making comp

she didnt get a single vote all season and voted with the majority in every vote post merge except for the dan voteout

Not getting a single vote is occasionally BOSS territory but typically goat status. Not something to brag about unless you were also a total gangster and everyone afraid to vote for you.

list of players who didnt receive a vote - looks like only 2-4 goats out of 16

JT - win
sandra - win
tom westman - win
cochran - win
ethan - win
tina - win
brian - win
natalie - win
nick - win
kelly wigglesworth - lost 4-3
courtney - lost 4-2-1
amanda - lost 4-2-1
coach - lost 6-3
sugar - lost 4-3
child predator - lost 6-1-1
lisa - lost 6-1-1

100% - been meaning to type up similar but never got around to it.

I don't agree with this. Like your Kara thoughts at the top, I also don't understand the Alison love in thread. She was equally as useless as Kara. I think Mike was definitely #2 and feel he played well and was generally liked. He had a few missteps and his FTC was also terrible. I know in general the jury decides pre-FTC and it's all really just a charade, but I think Mike could've presented himself a lot better at FTC.

less self-aware: natalie or angelina?

Don't forget she's a military wife too, lol!

I guess they had to allow Kara since she made F4? They damned sure didn't let her talk. The only thing she did at the reunion was nod about the weight loss, right?

No way Kara's coming back after breaking the rules, right?

I thought it was greatness when not a single person raised their hand when polled, lol.

goddamnit stop lol

Huh? What rules did she break?

The Allison love ITT isn't so much about how we admired her gameplay which as you say was nothing special - it was that (at least from everything we can see) she was considered a very serious threat to win the jury vote. She was in the top 2 targets every single vote by many people who indicated she had to go because they couldn't beat her. I give credit to Nick for realizing he could beat Mike but maybe not Allison, and putting aside his strong personal feelings and taking Allison out.

I think Mike came across much better via the confessionals than he did to the other players in the game. Not sure he ever shook the image of being the goliath team house mascot.

She and Alec outed themselves as contestants before the cast announcement, breaking their NDAs.

I don't agree with this. I think it was just editing to make it seem like there was another possible boot to keep the viewer guessing. Really don't see how anyone realistically thought Alison was a threat. There's probably comments made like that about every single person, and editors pieced them together to make it seem like Alison really could be voted out. Would've liked to see the classic Probst reunion question "jury members, Nick vs Allison, who do you vote for?"

I said it at f6 that I don't see how any of the females win, unless it's an all female ftc. Angelina was lol, and Kara/Alison didn't do anything worthy of being voted for.

uhh, Alison was universally considered a threat for the last month or so by everyone in the game

the Kara appreciation is for the exact same reason as Alison. she seemed to have great relationships on the jury and probably would’ve won if she won that f4 immunity and made it to f3 over Nick

If she wasn't such a threat, why was she getting so many votes every tribal?

This is the difference between the perception of her and Kara to the other contestants. No one ever voted for Kara because she wasn't a threat.
