September 27, 20187 yr First Episode was last night. Seems like a decent cast this year. Ned Schneebly! I would be unbelievably pissed if I was taken out of the game like Pat. Such a freak accident. Edited September 27, 20187 yr by Chuckie Finster
September 27, 20187 yr He had to have cracked something in his back right? Dude was in so much pain he was shaking and could barely breathe.
September 27, 20187 yr i thought it was a great episode. 3 people with personality clashes with their tribes, but one of them just got eliminated on a medical. he was an interesting cat, and would have liked to have seen how he panned out. the other two outside looking in are the older black chick and the kentucky lawyer. neither want to do any work, and that never fares well.
September 27, 20187 yr The black lady is going to flame out spectacularly I think. She gives off a strong crazy vibe.

September 27, 20187 yr Robot Scientist is already one of my favorite players of all time, what a great find. And if he and Techncal Writer are both single, they better get married and have nerd kids. “Platonic couple, of course!”
September 27, 20187 yr What is a SWAT “operator”? Operators are military. Anywys, I really enjoyed the first episode despite the fact that there aren’t any real hotties.
September 28, 20187 yr read an interview of probst on yahoo this morning and he says pat has made a complete recovery. he said he and his family made a lot of sacrifices to allow him to come on the game, so it's a real shame it ended so quickly. although the guy was bossy, and that puts a target on his back, at least we was working. other people are bossy but just want to watch others do all the work. he was a workhorse. plus, it looked like he was showing a softer, teddy bear side that was started to endear him to those that were turned off by his abrasiveness and crude locker room language at first.
September 28, 20187 yr I get taking charge in a situation like that because he was the only one who actually knows how to build houses. He probably could have been more tactful about it, but when you know exactly what needs to be done, it's hard to hold your tongue.
September 29, 20187 yr Yeah I thought Pat was a lot easier to stomach because he was actually being productive with the orders. The lady just seemed like a stereotypical upper management douche.
September 29, 20187 yr The two in the middle of the back row..... Does he have a hand full of ass??? His grin says yes.

September 29, 20187 yr I wasn't a fan. At the risk of turning this into a Badabing thread, I just thought the "Look at everything the Davids have overcome" stuff got a little tired. I'd just prefer a bunch of people with different backgrounds going at it. I.e. the social game; not the contrived crap Probst kept going on about. The first challenge on the ship? Gee, I wonder if the underdogs will be able to go over a beam, under a net, and solve an 8-piece slide puzzle first. Similarly to what some on here have complained about re: the idols, I just wish the producers would step back and let the game be itself.

Fortunately they usually abandon the theme after a few weeks.
September 29, 20187 yr Tech writer nerd has a nice little body. Huh. She needs to stop wearing grandma sweaters.
October 2, 20187 yr I was hoping that at the very start when they picked their two worst and then two best that Jeff was gonna drop the..."Ok now the 4 of you switch tribes"
October 2, 20187 yr Agree that Probst tried to push the concept way too much, both on the boat, then even a callback when Pat was being evacuated. Just play Survivor and hope your casting choices paid off.
October 4, 20187 yr Holy shit, Christian. Gabby: "Do you wanna play with me?" Christian: "Play with you!?" ... "Oh, in the sand?" I legit belly-laughed.
October 4, 20187 yr And damnnnnnn nerd takeover. I can't stand Lyrsa or the cowgirl, so hope Christian and Gabby turn on them soon for the good of the tribe.
October 4, 20187 yr goddammit, goddammit, goddammit. why is it, time and time again, the hottest chicks get voted out so early. so let me get this straight, you are stranded on an island, hanging out barely dressed, sleeping in the same shelter, with a close-knit opportunity to bond and you vote out the hottest chick? Fucking puritan assholes. Even the producers ought to wise up and step in for ratings sake and say okay, not this time, we're not voting out the hottest chick.
October 5, 20187 yr Author Holy shit, Christian. Gabby: "Do you wanna play with me?" Christian: "Play with you!?" ... "Oh, in the sand?" I legit belly-laughed.Honestly, that might be one of the funniest moments in Survivor history.
October 11, 20187 yr 38 minutes ago, El Diablo said: Welp, I would have bet it was going to be Natalie. Good move. She doesn’t seem the easiest have on your tribe but Jeremy made himself too much of a target. There are times you have to fade into the background and survivor loves to not select that type of person.
October 11, 20187 yr I think it was an IT TEA ODD ICK move personally. Way too early. Cut the dead weight.
October 11, 20187 yr Another terrible decision. I agree Jeremy was more of a threat down the road, and he did put a target on his back by being paranoid about the side conversations, but it's way too early to be thinking about down the road. That was your first tribal. Keep the tribe strong for the merge. You know Jeremy was a team player and would have been loyal after the merge. Natalie will be no help getting you to that point, and disloyal once you get there. stupid, stupid, stupid.
October 11, 20187 yr ^^^What thrillhammer said. The most shocking thing to me about that vote was it was 9-1. I think Goliath has a case of the dumbz.
October 11, 20187 yr I think 'keeping the tribe strong' is a little overstated for this season where there's a clear 'physically strong' differential. They are probably going to swap a few members very soon to even it up a little, so those alliances in the beginning are going to have to be reworked after they actually merge. I thought Bi/Carl were the extra stupid ones last night. Mason-Dixon lawyer guy (forgot his name) voted against them too; why the hell were they talking to him about who to target next? Made no sense to me.
October 11, 20187 yr They don't wait as long to nerge any more. Matter of fact, I believe they're merging next week. Ypu make the strongest alliances possible and keep your team strong at the moment. Nat will flip in a second. I believe the other guy would have been loyal.

October 11, 20187 yr I’ll put this under a spoiler tag, even though it was on the Next week on.... Survivor promo: Spoiler So, the preview shows Gabby all stressed, perhaps she understands she’s being targeted by country lawyer and others, and could be the next to go. Then they show Jeff’s “Drop your buffs!”, which could possibly save her from being the target... except those tribe swaps always occur early in an episode, so her drama likely manifests itself after the change in the tribes. One of the few compelling things this season is the nerd romance between Gabby and Christian, so I’m sure the producers will try to keep that going (within the rules, I don’t need Mizzou getting upset about reality/game show ethics).

Not merging i dont think...just Tribe swapping Right. Same applies, though. You don't want to show up at another tribe with 1 or 2 from your current tribe already willing to flip on you. Firm up alliances so you have as much power as you can muster for any given twist.

October 11, 20187 yr Yep. That's why I would have targeted her first. I think Jeremy would have been loyal.

That's why I would have targeted her first. I think Jeremy would have been loyal. Agreed. The devil that you know is better than the one you don't. Regardless of if Jeremy would have been loyal or not if you end up on a tribe with him when they mix things up at least you have a little bit of knowledge of who is on your tribe. Not to mention he's a hell of a lot stronger comp wise than Natalie. You mix things up and Natalie is on your tribe you have dead weight that in many cases screw you over. Early in the game it's all about managing risk and trying to win as many comps as you can while keeping as big of a core alliance as possible. With as many idols and twists they know throw in doesn't change the fact you need to keep those you can trust the most and help you win to avoid one of your alliance members being sent home.
October 11, 20187 yr I'd love to see the swap result in Angelina winding up on a tribe with a bunch of David's and Natalie. Even better, the Goliath's have a majority with Natalie and she flips to the Davids and Angelina gets voted out by one vote.
October 11, 20187 yr What's the difference between this and regularass Survivor? I haven't watched in a decade or so. Is that the Chuck & Buck dude back left in the blue shirt?

At it's core it's the same show aside from the 10,000 immunity idols, advantages, and mixing up of the tribes multiple times to try and create drama/story that actually just takes away from my overall experience as a viewer.
October 12, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Bosco said: https://ew.com/tv/2018/10/11/survivor-jeremy-crawford-david-vs-goliath/amp/ Ha, you have a prepared written statement? Lawyers gonna lawyer. And the snark that Natalie responds with is off the charts awesome. Not a huge fan of her game play but this is pretty dam good- UPDATE: CBS in the past has never let players still in the game officially respond to comments made by those in exit interviews. However, the network broke precedent and provided this statement from Angelina regarding Jeremy’s claims: “My husband and I are aware of Jeremy’s comments. While we do not appreciate his blatant mischaracterization of my friendship and alliance with John, I am not surprised he feels compelled to attempt to revise the narrative. I think all of this really comes down to one fundamental Survivor truth: being the first eliminated member of your tribe by a unanimous, undisclosed blindside, must really sting, especially for a supposed ‘Goliath.'”
