Survivor 30: Worlds Apart

[kingfc22]

Pretty incredible run for this show and it just keeps on going with no sign of it slowing down. Season 30 starts tonight with the premise of White Collar vs. Blue Collar vs. No Collar.

My older daughter is now eight and is getting to the level where she does a great job of following all the strategic moves. My younger daughter is five and she loves just rooting for a tribe color. Either way, it's fun that we all can enjoy the show as a family. Excited about the premiere tonight.

yeah, my kids (10 and 13) love the show. We're relatively new to Survivor. I started watching a few years ago, roped my wife in and now the kids watch it too. Really fun family show.

[EagleFan]

SOB... they voted the hottest woman off on episode one... crap...

[larrymcg421]

I'm not sure whether that was planned beforehand or not, but So was awful at tribal council. You never call out your alliance like that. I was shocked that Carolyn didn't play her idol, but it proved to be a good move.

[Lathum]

meh

People who get off on making others cry are despicable human beings.

Not saying she was a great person, just the best one to look at. :)

My daughters and I used to have Survivor night, starting in Season 1. My oldest was 8, and my youngest was 3, and the youngest didn't really get it for a few seasons until she got older. We would usually have fish and rice for dinner that night, and I would let them eat with their hands to emulate the survivors. They liked that when they were little, but preferred silverware as they got older. We would always pick a player on the first night, and whoever's player went the farthest got to pick a restaurant for dinner at the end of the season.

Now they're both moved away and in another city for college/work. I miss family Survivor night. :(

That sounds fun, I may start doing that. Crazy when you put it into that perspective.

[Umbrella]

Not saying she was a great person, just the best one to look at. :)

I like the law student on the no collar tribe the best.

We were shocked she didn't play her idol. I don't know how much trust you can build that soon to know she was safe, but she felt confident enough, and it turned out to be smart.

Going in, I thought I would like the blue collar the best, and I thought the no collar and white collar would annoy me to no end. Turns out I was backwards on that. The feather head guy is the only annoying one so far on no collar, and I only like the guy that ate the scorpion on the blue tribe at this point. The white collar hasn't been too bad except the guy that got the idol clue.

Should be a fun season. I like the class warfare element. It's funny how as soon as that was announced, all the players started actively trying to live up to the stereotypes.

[CrimsonFox]

Blue team is so screwed.

"Scorpion in my belly!"

[EagleFan]

Blue team is so screwed.

"Scorpion in my belly!"

I just did a face palm when he did that. Day one and you think that will be protein that you need?

[CrimsonFox]

Since when did they start letting daterapists like "Coconut Vince" on the show?

[EagleFan]

Since when did they start letting daterapists like "Coconut Vince" on the show?

Holy crap was that a bit creepy. Dude, you just met this chick and had a conversation with her, now you are freaking out because she talked to some other guy. Then the hug, give it a rest loverboy.

[CrimsonFox]

Calling it now...No Collar Joe will win.

[Suicane75]

First impression was a letdown as everyone is just playing up the stereotypes and the douchiness was pretty off the charts.

And EF and I have very different taste in women. :)

[Draft Dodger]

I loved the different choices during the challenge. That was really cool.

Feather guy is Gary Glitter level of creepy. He's got to be on a sex offender list somewhere

I think the talent agency guy has a good shot.

[kingfc22]

I just don't see Will's move as being a good decision. He's now #4 in a three-person alliance and is one of the weakest players in challenges on his team.

He could have been safe with a three person alliance in their tribe til at least the first merge.

[EagleFan]

Yeah, that didn't make a lot of sense.

[Simbo Klice]

I think I'd be happier as #4 with 3 strong players than being in a 3-person alliance with a deaf old woman and a sex offender though. You just have to hope you don't lose 2 of the next 3 challenges, then there will likely be some sort of switch anyway.

[Draft Dodger]

man, that Vince guy made Phillip Sheppard seem normal

[EagleFan]

The guy he voted out looked like he was a strong player though. If he just stuck with the 4 person alliance and did as they planned with a split vote he would be in better shape than what he did. He basically turned his back on the potential 3 person alliance AND went rogue on the 4 person alliance.

Yeah, but suppose they lose another challenge- I think he would be on the block over Vince, even if Vince is a creep. I don't think they pitch him over Nina.

[Maple Leafs]

Just got caught up. Two thoughts on the last episode:

- As always, the gimmick that the whole season is based on lasts just a few episodes before they scramble the tribes. I really wish they'd let them go a while longer -- it just feels so random to mix everything up after only a few days.

- Jeff's complete and total no-sell of Max's immunity idol fakeout was the highlight of the season so far.

[korme]

- Jeff's complete and total no-sell of Max's immunity idol fakeout was the highlight of the season so far.

I thought that was kind of a dick move. Max is a complete Survivor nerd, this will haunt him for the rest of his life. :)

[Mota]

Isn't it funny how the teams were shuffled up? Pretty much all the alpha players on one side, and the rejects on the other. That reject team won't win ANYTHING.

[EagleFan]

I think they should allow them to pick the tribes. Randomly pick one person for each new tribe and which picks first. They pick a player but it can't be from their original tribe. Then the players that were picked pick a player (same rule of not picking a player from your tribe unless it gets down to that is all that is left) and so forth until the two tribes are picked.

To make it more interesting, do not allow them to talk about their selections as they go (so alliances can't direct the selections).

and it was such a solid gimmick too. All three tribes were interesting and did a marvelous job following their stereotypical tribe credo (or at least giving enough soundbytes to allow the producers to edit the shows as such).

however, the switch did force a bit more gameplay on everyone which is always a good thing.

I've enjoyed this season. Lots of really interesting characters. Almost everyone has a clear and unique identity, which hasn't always been the case in recent years.

[EagleFan]

Survivor karma...

[EagleFan]

Why did they even switch to two tribes?

[Maple Leafs]

You're never going to convince me that the tribe shakeups aren't done on the fly by the producers to get better mixes. No way you plan a shakeup that's only going to last two episodes.

Then again, I assume there's plenty of "soft fix" stuff like that going on every season, especially with stuff like which challenges come when.

They probably are but who really cares? This is a TV show after all, not a sporting event.

Like in the men versus women season when the men were winning and suddenly the challenges were all balance related.

[Maple Leafs]

Yeah, it really only bothers me when it really sticks out, like this year's quick merge did.

[Maple Leafs]

Like in the men versus women season when the men were winning and suddenly the challenges were all balance related.
Yeah, exactly. That was the classic example.

Even some of the challenges themselves would be easy enough to rig. Look at all the "untie the knots" stuff they've been doing the last few years. If you need to create a little adversity on one tribe, just tighten those knots up a little bit. Nobody would be able to tell.

[Draft Dodger]

man, seeing Vanilla Ice (aka Rodney) face run the gamut from "smug asshole" to "wait, how does that math work" to "no, really, this math is hard" to "woah, bro, wtf" is about as good as it gets

[Suicane75]

My first inclination concerning this season was pretty much correct. Just a bunch of insufferable idiots.

[Draft Dodger]

but they've been entertaining idiots.

[kingfc22]

At this point I'm going with Joe or Jenn as potential winners.

[EagleFan]

That was freaking awesome. Loved the "Oh Shit" look on Rodney's face.

[Scarecrow]

Rodney's 0-2 since proclaiming he's running the show.

[Simbo Klice]

I always appreciate a well-played idol.

[EagleFan]

Rodney's 0-2 since proclaiming he's running the show.

I actually think that he believe what he was saying in tonight's show, that he was just playing the other side and that his shorts weren't getting damp every time he talked to Juaquin (sp?).

[kingfc22]

Rodney and Will are just plain incompetent. Glad to see them fail miserably. Hopefully it continues again next week. :D

[Kodos]

Rodney's 0-2 since proclaiming he's running the show.

Anything that upsets Rodney is good by me. I think I am rooting for Jenn.

[Maple Leafs]

I can't even remember the last time somebody played an idol at the right time without already being sure they were the target.

[korme]

As much as I dislike Rodney I am enjoying his sports references.

Great play by Jenn, though it knocked out Kelly who I had in our Survivor pool. I'm rooting for Jenn too - great personality and some grade A knockers.

#LucLongley

[EagleFan]

Once the idol had to be played before the votes were read I really only remember this time and the Malcolm idol as the only memorable hidden idol moments (though I really wish he hadn't declared who they were voting for).

[General Mike]

The hate is strong for Rodney.

I'm also rooting for Jen at this time.

[General Mike]

Dola,

It felt to me like they went to the merge too fast this season.

[EagleFan]

I seriously hope they don't drag Rodney into the final group just so there is someone who won't get votes. He needs to be on the jury just so we can be entertained by what is sure to be an idiotic question aimed at the finalists.

[Draft Dodger]

I thought Tyler showed some promise early, but he's really fizzled

[EagleFan]

Crap. How do they try to sell that as a blindside?

[Mota]

That was as uneventful as could be. Nobody flipped. It ended up being quite a boring episode.

[Autumn]

Yeah, I have been surprised at how often the majority group has stayed together, despite the editing to make you wonder. Normally they would have splintered or blindsided someone by now. There's a lot of ill relations between that group, but somehow it hasn't affected their voting much.

Joe getting that soda bottle from Caroline was a nice move though, that made me laugh.

[kingfc22]

Man. Was really hoping for Dan to eat some crow.

[Autumn]

What a thoroughly unlikable man. "I'm just being honest here. You suck. I hope you appreciate my apology."

[Landshark44]

What a thoroughly unlikable man.

+1

[saldana]

tyler, will, and caroline are idiots...how they think they will ever survive as long as the blue collars are all still there is completely beyond me.

and sierra might be the dumbest of them all...she was going to be the next one out when the blue collars were still separate...what does she think is going to happen if they are the last 5 left.

someone needs to make a move tonight

[Kodos]

Great. We managed to lose the only 2 likeable players in one episode.

[EagleFan]

Great. We managed to lose the only 2 likeable players in one episode.

Can someone please bitch slap Dan? He is completely socially inept.

[EagleFan]

Dan reminds me of someone that I used to work with. This guy was about twice the size of Dan but he treated the women that we worked with like they were idiots, he acted like he was a martyr all the time ("people don't like me because of my size"... no, people don't like you because you are an asshole)`and he thought the rules only applied to others (he got fired after he was thumbing through payroll reports, and showing others).

I probably seem like an ass for saying all that as he ended up being killed on 9/11 as he was working at the WTC. No one deserved that, but that didn't make him any less of an ass while he was alive.

[Maple Leafs]

So did I miss something, or did that one dude giving up his "idol" actually get him voted off, since everyone just switched their vote to him instead of splittiing?

[saldana]

So did I miss something, or did that one dude giving up his "idol" actually get him voted off, since everyone just switched their vote to him instead of splittiing?

No..shireen screwed him...the vote was split and shire en was supposed to be the deciding vote to send Jennifer home but she voted Joe instead, presumably because she knows she had no chance of beating him and if jen is really gonna mail it in, she is a good person to keep

[kingfc22]

Damn. With Jenn essentially quiting as well I now have zero rooting interest for the remainder of the season.

Ideal scenario now is to somehow get Sherin and Dan in the final with Sherin winning. That would be good for some laughs.

[EagleFan]

I was hoping Mike would keep the idol and then it would screw up some plans later.

[EagleFan]

Damn. With Jenn essentially quiting as well I now have zero rooting interest for the remainder of the season.

Ideal scenario now is to somehow get Sherin and Dan in the final with Sherin winning. That would be good for some laughs.

I guess Sherin is the defacto fan favorite now just to stick it to the collection of assholes that remain. Unless Jen stays.

[Kodos]

Even if Jenn stays, the whole quitter thing is out there. Can't root for a quitter. If you want to quit, at least do it to spare an ally who is scrambling to stay alive.

[Autumn]

Ironically, Rodney is looking like one of the only players left, in terms of making multiple alliances and playing the game. Shireen too, I suppose. Mike is a favorite for winning at this point because he's at least made an effort to get an idol. But yeah, I don't get all these people just sitting on their alliance. Caroline still has an idol, right? Could get interesting with two idols there still to come out. And with Joe gone it seems like the group has to fracture now.

I was impressed with Joe's 30 second idol making workshop, that was great, especially with everyone trying to keep an eye on him. Would have been nice to see him stick around, he's one of the only guys playing the game (though even he really should have been doing more to make some alliances).

[Autumn]

oh and Rodney's impressions were hilarious. My wife and I keep both laughing thinking about it, and saying, "Why does he normally talk like such a frigging idiot if he has the ability to do such great impressions? Do an impression of someone smart, Rodney." And then we were cracking up imagining if he reveals later that it's all been an act this whole time.

[Kodos]

I have to admit, his impressions were pretty entertaining.

[EagleFan]

And then we were cracking up imagining if he reveals later that it's all been an act this whole time.

Watch, the last episode he reveals that he is actually Nigel from Manchester... :D

[EagleFan]

I have to admit, his impressions were pretty entertaining.

Yes. Probably the first time all season that I haven't "hated" him (for that brief moment).

[korme]

I was impressed with Joe's 30 second idol making workshop, that was great, especially with everyone trying to keep an eye on him. Would have been nice to see him stick around, he's one of the only guys playing the game (though even he really should have been doing more to make some alliances).

No kidding, that looked pretty good! I was thinking there is nothing this guy can't do. We'll definitely see him back on an All-Star crew

[EagleFan]

That was disgusting. Will has moved in front in the race for biggest douchebag on the show. He is a piece of sh*t for saying that crap and then in denial that he did nothing wrong.

It sucks that Mike and Shirin (sp?) are the only two that I want to win now.

I was glad that Shirin basically said screw you to him. It's not like he was going to win a challenge so what exactly is he really giving up there?

[kingfc22]

Holy crap. That was a crazy episode.

Will. Fuck that guy.

Sierra. That girl is clueless.

Dan. He's got zero sense of what is going on as well.

Rodney. Fits every stereotype you can imagine. Would be great to see Mike just clock him with a right hook.

Tyler. Has there been a guy who has done less than him up to this point.

[heybrad]

I really enjoy watching Survivor so it says a lot that these people are such scumbags that I'm losing my desire to continue with the season. An episode where things turnaround needs to happen fast.

[Kodos]

Yep. I thought about not watching last night's episode, but did. However, the season is on a respirator right now. Won't take much to pull the plug.

[Suicane75]

I gave up about 3 weeks ago. Reading that Shirin is now considered the favorite/most liked, pretty much tells me I was right in doing so. Just gonna chalk this one up to bad casting and wait for next season.

[Maple Leafs]

So based on the preview, next week's big twist will revolve around something that should have been banned in the game a while ago. So that's... fun.

I am looking forward to future auction episodes, now that they've pissed off Jeff by figuring out how it always works and how to circumvent that by bidding strategically. The first item will probably be a framed photo of Jeff giving the finger, at which point the auction will end and he'll set all the loved on letters on fire in front of them.

[Kodos]

Can you imagine the tears in that scenario?

[Kodos]

Not a big Shirin fan, but I was proud of her for denying Will his letter.

[Maple Leafs]

Can you imagine the tears in that scenario?
Is it weird that Survivor players get so worked up over the letters from home? It's weird, right? I mean, I know they've been away from their loved ones for three whole weeks at this point. I'm sure that would be tough. I'm also pretty sure I wouldn't fall into a sobbing pile over it.

[Kodos]

Yeah. I guess when you're tired and hungry and paranoid, your emotions get the best of you.

I guess I can go back to liking Jenn after reading this.

Yeah, that was crazy. You've made it through most of the game. Now you are closer to being home and getting closer to being home and a million dollars every day. I can't see a letter meaning that much to me at that point. Yes it would be nice to read but not something to get so worked up over.

[korme]

Maybe it's just me but I am think Joe enjoyed his few days at Ponderosa with Haley and Jenn.

[EagleFan]

Liked what tonight's tribal may lead to but good lord these people are stupid.

As far as Tyler going through someone's personal property, that is a complete douche bag play.

Looks like things don't go Rodney's way next week and he starts pulling a Cartman move "I'm taking my ball and going home." Hope he completely loses it and quits, that would be very amusing.

Next season better have a group of players that are more likable or this show could be on the verge of falling off the table as far a interest level.

[Autumn]

Yeah, that was crazy. You've made it through most of the game. Now you are closer to being home and getting closer to being home and a million dollars every day. I can't see a letter meaning that much to me at that point. Yes it would be nice to read but not something to get so worked up over.

Mike really blew it that episode by waffling. If you're going to screw everyone to get that advantage, screw them and own it. Backing off just meant he pissed everyone off and didn't get any credit for making a move. He was the closest we had to someone playing this game to win, and he just didn't do enough. I enjoyed this last week him messing with Tyler's alliance though, that was amusing to see the paranoia on everyone's faces.

[CarterNMA]

Holy cow! Rodney is one whiny little bitch. They should have voted him out ages ago.

[EagleFan]

Holy cow! Rodney is one whiny little bitch. They should have voted him out ages ago.

Yes, yes and yes. If he can't tell the difference between someone taking him on a reward and someone giving up their chance at a reward for him that is pretty sad.

[Kodos]

I have never seen an adult male cry about his birthday like that. Who cares, Rodney?

[Lathum]

I have never seen an adult male cry about his birthday like that. Who cares, Rodney?

I felt the same way, it was like watching an 8 year old girl

[Maple Leafs]

Am I crazy, or is the list of candidates for next season's "second chance" cast pretty spoiler-ish for this year? Nobody on the list is a previous winner, and yet there's names from this season included.

[EagleFan]

Good point. There is one cast member still on the show that is in the vote. The others have already been voted out so for them it's not a spoiler.

[Maple Leafs]

Good point. There is one cast member still on the show that is in the vote.
If I read it right, I think there's more than one.

I've seen a disclaimer that basically says "If they turn out to be the winner, they're no longer eligible", but they've known this season's winner for months now. It would be really weird for them to include that person in the vote knowing they'd have to eventually remove them, unless it's all some sort of weird decoy. (In which case, I guess it's working.)

[Draft Dodger]

at this point, I'm rooting for Rodney just so I can read in 3 years how quickly and stupidly he blew through a million dollars. I'm guessing about 85% will be spent on his next birthday party

[EagleFan]

The only way tonight would have been better is if Mike would have voted Rodney. Make the others re-vote between Dan and Rodney. Even if Rodney doesn't go home you would know that he would explode back at camp; the egotistical, entitled douche bag of a diva.

How funny was it watching him try to use that hook? How many times did he ground it at his own feet?

Okay, back to watching game 7.

[CraigSca]

Personally, I am loving watching Mike continue to win immunity and screw up the rest of the group's plans.

As long as Rodney and the Youtuber dude who tore apart the one girl don't win I'll be ok.

[Kodos]

Rodney seems to be another contestant that looks muscular, but whose muscles seem to not help him at all in challenges.

Loved tonight's episode. If we can kill Rodney, the season can be redeemed to some extent. I do find myself really rooting for Mike, even though he annoys me in some ways.

[kingfc22]

Mike is definitely the horse we're backing now in my house. Loved Dan's face when the idol was played.

[CraigSca]

It's funny too how he bitched about not being given a spot on the reward, then Dan finds two melons and then Rodney starts talking about how energized and rejuvenated he is (and, of course, goes off on a diatribe about how Mike needs to "look out" when Rodney comes full force at you). A day later Rodney's at tribal council and is the same whiny, "I'm so hungry" guy again.

[Simbo Klice]

Nice play by Carolyn, who I don't like but think might have played the best or 2nd best game this season. Dan playing his extra vote kind of blew up in his face, the numbers ended up being 5-2 and it might have been what triggered the idol play.

[Draft Dodger]

it really says something about the rest of these idiots when Mike and Carolyn are considered the strong players. It's been fun to watch, though.

I will not miss Dan's long-winded, delusional blathering. Cannot WAIT to hear his ridiculously wordy jury questions.

[EagleFan]

Anyone see Dan's Ponderosa video? Completely delusional.

[Maple Leafs]

Dan has to rank in any discussion of the worst players ever, right? Specifically, those who fall into the class of "waited to make a move for the whole game and then got voted out before they made it"?

[saldana]

did anyone else vote for the cast for the next season...mercifully they have little video segments of the person playing to remind you of who some of them were...does it say anything about the "one world" season that when i watched that video, i didnt even remember a single person that i saw?

[Autumn]

Yes, and yes. At this point, Carolyn and Mike just have to work to get the other one out. Whichever one gets to the end wins. If they go together, it's a crapshoot, though I would assume Mike gets more votes. I think the no collars like him better.

I loved Jeff stirring the pot about Rodney expecting to go on reward despite never winning. Make a frigging effort, dude. And the producers must be so disappointed in Will. They probably figured he was going to be hilarious and entertaining and yet he's so anti-entertaining.

[CraigSca]

Yeah, Rodney's lack of effort on the reward challenge was ridiculous.

[Kodos]

Don't make him come at you full force, bro!

[Draft Dodger]

Don't make him come at you full force, bro!

Yo, it's my BIRTHDAY and you're going disrespect me like that? WORST BIRTHDAY EVER.

[heybrad]

Rodney is a lock for final three since no one thinks he can win. I'm looking forward to hearing him explain why he should win. He didn't win any challenges and pretty much every time he's said someone is going home, it doesn't go his way.

[Ironhead]

Anyone see Dan's Ponderosa video? Completely delusional.

My wife and I thought the same thing. We had to pause the video multiple times to talk about it.

[Simbo Klice]

Rodney is a lock for final three since no one thinks he can win. I'm looking forward to hearing him explain why he should win. He didn't win any challenges and pretty much every time he's said someone is going home, it doesn't go his way.

Rodney's pissed off face when nobody votes him at the end will be the highlight of the season.

[EagleFan]

If he makes the final three what is the over/under on the number of times he mentions his birthday in his final speech and when he answers the questions aimed at him?

[saldana]

Rodney's pissed off face when nobody votes him at the end will be the highlight of the season.

It is going to be hard to beat the look on his face when Joaquin got blindsided.

[larrymcg421]

I'm really excited to see how the voting for next season goes.

[General Mike]

Rodney - the worst player I've ever seen.

[EagleFan]

Rodney is a major d-bag.

That is all.

[General Mike]

Right person won.

[General Mike]

More Shireen? No, no, no.

[Thomkal]

Can someone point me to a list of who's on next season?

[heybrad]

They are completely trashing Dan on the reunion show.

Can someone point me to a list of who's on next season?

MEN: Jeff Varner, Andrew, Terry, Stephen, Vytas, Woo, Spencer, Keith, Jeremy, Joe.

WOMEN: Kelly Wiglesworth, Kimmi, Peih-Gee, Monica Padilla, Abi-Maria, Ciera, Kass, Tasha, Kelley Wentworth, Shirin.

A good cast, except Shane and T-Bird should have made it on, especially Shane, who is genuinely crazy but not in a completely unlikeable way. Both of those people clearly got clipped by recency bias.

I hate the fact that they have 4 people from the same season and 3 more from another. would have liked to see it spread out a bit more.

More Shireen? No, no, no.

Yeah, particularly since she announced that she wants to use the show as a "platform" to protest abusive treatment.

Didn't she mention something about already being a millionaire during her jury rant? If so, she might be the first one out this time.

They are completely trashing Dan on the reunion show.
Showing the raw footage to expose him as a liar about being taken out of context was the best moment in any reunion show they've ever done.
