Survivor 34: Game Changers

Re: Survivor 34: Game Changers

I know I'm late by this point but Brad made a horrific decision taking Sarah to the finals. He let his anger with Tai get the best of him and it cost him in the end. I knew the moment that he took Sarah it was over, Troyzan wasn't getting a vote as he was the typical sheep that was drug along and Brad winning immunities wasn't going to carry more weight then someone who made far more strategic moves to vote people off while finding advantages wherever she could, or in one case getting one handed to her while voting that person out to get it. I can't stand Sarah (someone should tell her her bugged out eyes look ridiculous) but she deserved it more then Brad just from a purely strategic standpoint. Brad had to endure some shake ups when tribes were switched and had to play from the bottom a lot to survive which he should have hammered on that during final trible but if he did it wasn't shown. It was a solid season with some of the craziest trible councils I've ever seen but I couldn't stand a majority of the people on the show and it got worse with every passing week as people like Tai and Sarah hung around still.

Re: Survivor 34: Game Changers

I was trying to explain that my wife. Troyzan was getting zero votes, period. Tai could get votes, but not from anyone voting Brad. There was no advantage for Sarah allowing Tai into the final three.

Brad, on the other hand, should have seen the same thing. Instead, he sent a vote for Sarah to the jury.

Brad had no business winning. Yes, he went on an immunity run. But he was also part of the dominant alliance several times throughout the game, only to see them getting outwitted over and over. Part of that was because he was a sexist jackass. He was only humble when he saw himself on the bottom, except with Tai, who he treated like dog.

And yeah, he deserved to lose purely for choosing to send Tai home. And he sealed the stupidity of that by deciding not to tell Tai in advance, which only allowed for the possibility of Sarah forcing a tie.

Troyzan outed himself as having no game when he uttered that the notion of a tie at the end never occurred to him. I mean, there were four people left. It's not hard to run the numbers in that scenario.

Wasn't a fan of Sarah, but she absolutely played a great game. She never once let emotions, like she felt for Zeke, affect her voting strategy. She played two sides often, and alway found the right side to come down on. Conversely, Brad came into TC with the numbers multiple times, and came out a loser multiple times. He had no pulse.

He only got that far because he was the biggest ******* of the competition beats. Getting guys like Malcom and Ozzy out made more sense than a guy no one liked. Yeah, those five wins were good. But he also faced easier competition than many others faced.

Overall, this was an outstanding season, with a lot of great moments. Brad wasn't a part of any of them.

That's the bittersweet part of this season. Crazy to see such huge tribals early on and big blindsides, but end result of that are seeing the Sarah's of the game last long/win. You want big moves in Survivor, but want good people going far. Though a f3 of Cirie,Brad someone else would've been perfect. Brad and Ciries games are complete opposites in a good way.

Sarah winning is abit hypocritical in Survivor history. Yes the name of the game in the end is getting people you voted out to vote for you in the end, which is what she did perfectly (Sierra, Michaela), but in Survivor history, the flipflopper who turns on people basically never win. This was one time it happened.

Lol, her "bugged out eyes" were crazy. It's like a deer caught in headlights type look. Funny moment last week I think it was during the vote reveal at end of episode. They showed who everyone voted for, Troyzan looked half asleep, then Brad looked angry, and next shot....Sarah wide-open eyes with intense look. Just seemed funny to me, go from sleepy guy to angry guy to intense woman.
