I believe it was season 3 in Africa that had a similar challenge transporting a huge ball through the fields, and one of the teams definitely had an incident where it rolled right over some of the tribe mates. And yes, it was hilarious.I, too, was worried about the yellow team getting caught under that giant ball.
I don't pay close enough attention to know who people's names are or who has what, but I was thinking last night that the people who won in the first place got to have a feast. Then they were the ones up for elimination. The ones who got switched to being safe didn't get the feast. And neither did Erika, who is now safe. I wonder if being able to get some food will help half of them in the next challenge. I must have been hungry to notice that.Looks like no one has a problem with what Erika did (and really, at this stage they are all serious players who might not like what she did, but have to respect it), although there could be some blame game afterward. If the larger block was splitting the vote though, then why wasn't it more even? No one knew Deshawn had a second vote. Maybe they all just disliked Sydney as much as we did, I don't know.
One of the late rewards in S1 was to take the winner to a "bar" (not a real bar I'm sure) and watch the premiere being aired!@smurfy me too! A coworker was on about this new show, I think I might have tuned in at some point and then when they reaired the entire thing (I think it was every night!) I watched it. Interesting to remember that they started airing that one while the game was still being played - so much for crafty editing! There was a book about it, sort of a production diary written as it was happening that was also interesting - the game was so simple back then, it's sure come a loooong way.
And remember how they gave a car away as a reward and that person did not win the game.One of the late rewards in S1 was to take the winner to a "bar" (not a real bar I'm sure) and watch the premiere being aired!
There's a great S1 story there, with a cast mutiny and a mad scramble by production.One of the late rewards in S1 was to take the winner to a "bar" (not a real bar I'm sure) and watch the premiere being aired!
...is it worth all that exertion for what looked like a soggy and coagulated grill cheese and a few soggy chips?)
...maybe Danny and Naseer are also working together?
I think it's that the game has moved so fast and so far beyond that moment it's not worth going back to it.And are we all tremendously disappointed that they haven't realized what we all know, that Shan totally blew it for Liana's advantage? I wonder if any of them are watching the show right now and
From a friend:I mean, Shan is definitely being Large and In Charge and pushy, and it's legit to feel a certain kind of way about it, but I think DeShawn would have reacted differently if that had come from another dude.
I think the game has just gotten to that point, and two things: 1) We just went a year without Survivor, and two of the previous three seasons are amongst the biggest duds in all 40 editions. They needed a fanatic cast. 2) A lot of people 'found' Survivor during quarantine, and I think it's on a huge upswing all of a sudden. That's another reason to find people who are self-proclaimed lifelong fans for this season.Well well well. Maybe it's me because I missed a few seasons, but I feel like we are seeing some very advanced gameplay here. Are any of them recruits? Because they all really seem to know the game. Some more than others of course, but every episode seems to bring some new way of thinking.
I don't get why they aren't going after Xander at all honestly (last week more-so) and put all their focus into Evie or.... Tiffany. I don't really know where everyone sits but I still remember back to Shan telling Liana that if she went home several weeks ago that Ricard is a snake, and I think in general the amount of energy they've put into Shan's story that she's going out in some spectacular fashion. I know they teased clips for next week, but I don't think it'll happen yet. Liana may even be the mastermind behind getting rid of her, wouldn't surprise me.Here's how the votes broke down, not sure what to make of some of this, look forward to your thoughts:
Tiffany - Deshawn, Heather, Erika, Liana, Ricard, Shan
Heather (which, where did that TC display come from?!) - Evvie, Tiffany
Xander - Danny, Naseer
Naseer - Xander
So apparently Ricard and Shan are still working together? Not just the votes, but they were tag teaming to try and get Xander to play his idol at TC, which I actually thought was a surprisingly clumsy move. And what about Danny? Was his vote the back up in case Tiffany had an idol? But then why was Naseer the other one? It does seem as though the Black alliance is quite strong, but maybe Danny and Naseer are also working together? Danny's gotta respect his work ethic, maybe that's it, plus at one point (just days ago in the game) he seemed like he really wanted the men to work together. But then they voted for Xander? I feel like I really don't know Danny's game. As for Xander, I'm thinking maybe he threw that vote in just to keep everyone paranoid, because at this stage he can likely get away with no one knowing it was him.
And are we all tremendously disappointed that they haven't realized what we all know, that Shan totally blew it for Liana's advantage? I wonder if any of them are watching the show right now and
Maybe we'll see Liana talk more about Shan blowing her sekret advantage after all......I think in general the amount of energy they've put into Shan's story that she's going out in some spectacular fashion. I know they teased clips for next week, but I don't think it'll happen yet. Liana may even be the mastermind behind getting rid of her, wouldn't surprise me.
Didn't Danny advise Xander to play it, too?Ricard begging Xander to use his idol when he name was not publicly being tossed around was hilarious.
They allow it for cast members who wear contacts.aside - but did anyone notice that Ricard had goggles in the water for the reward challenge?
I dunno. Deshawn was practically rolling his eyes, so I don't think anyone was thinking that Xander is an altruist, and it put Xander's head up above again. If he makes it to the end, no one will be able to accuse him of playing under the radar.Also - the notion of people winning reward not coming and snarfing on the inferior food of the losers has come up many times throughout Survivor history. C'mon, dude. it's just not done.
Reward - before they drew rocks I was thinking I'd volunteer, citing a (nonexistent) dairy allergy or something, because every action has had another action this season. Xander is definitely a smarty pants.
Starting to think it might have been somewhat planned too. It's like Heather was sitting there waiting for the moment when she was supposed to play her part. If that's the case, whoever got her to do it, well I want to know more.I don't know, y'all. This whole episode felt extremely edited to me, because so much does not make sense. Given how many people stuck with the original voting plan - including Heather - I almost wonder if Heather's freakout was planned? I don't think Shan or DeShawn were faking their reactions, and I don't know who else would work with heather, but WTF was the point of all that?
Yes the food thing was a surprising mistake for someone who I thought was much smarter than that. And thinking more on his pushing Xander, pretty sure Shan did too at one point, would it be crazy if that's all related to what Heather did?Ricard begging Xander to use his idol when he name was not publicly being tossed around was hilarious. aside - but did anyone notice that Ricard had goggles in the water for the reward challenge?

YES! That was so funny.Tiffany saying she would make an alliance with the crew, or a crab, or anyone willing to work with her, was hilarious. Would not have thought this based on first episode, but I'll miss her.
I just figured the plan was to get rid of one of Xander's allies, since apparently many didn't believe them when they were saying they weren't that tight. Perhaps it was a multi prong approach - get rid of one of his allies, throw him a few votes in case he's given his idol to Tiffany, and try and get him to play it.I don't get why they aren't going after Xander at all honestly (last week more-so) and put all their focus into Evie or.... Tiffany.
