Survivor 47

Re: Survivor 47

Sol coming in to that tribal all jacked up in a vest while everyone just stares at him/forgets Sierra is right next to him (did she cut her hair?)

Jeff/producers probably hate this season just because of how much everyone (players) have hated the advantages. People opting for the single tribal immunity rather than risking further, that shared amulet being played asap so nobody's burdened by it, everyone giving up their SITD for rice. It's nice that the players want to play it a more "bare boned" Survivor, but also not realizing there's an idol out there, ironically from the only person there who played their shot in the dark.

Everyone's smart for going after Gabe, if they let Tuku have 4 at the final 8, they've all lost. At the same time, Sue voted for Genevieve while Kyle voted out Gabe. Another vote out where I think Caroline is making it to the end and will get dragged by the jury.

In a way I could see the F3 being Andy, Teeny, Caroline which sounds real underwhelming for how good a season this has been so far.

Re: Survivor 47

Now Kyle's gone!

Probably the most humble exit in Survivor history though. If he made it to the end I don't see how he doesn't win, he's too likable.

The way they showed it, I feel like the f3 could be Andy, Caroline, Teeny.

Also, they made Sol put a shirt on?

Re: Survivor 47

I would bet on Kyle being back for season 50 if he wants to be on it.

Re: Survivor 47

What an episode. Didn't think "Operation Italy" would actually work. Glad Rachel won immunity so she wasn't the one going in that one.

If Genevive and Rachel are 2 of the f3, I'll be happy, assuming one of them wins too.

2 part season finale coming up which they didn't really explain on tv much which is surprising. If you read the news you'll understand, but if you just watch the show you'll just think next week is a normal episode.

Either way, my guess at most to least likely to win going into the "finales"

1. Andy (he's made the most crazy moves, but does the jury respect him flipping every other tribal, even if he's flipping because he has a plan that works out)

2. Rachel (the moves she's made and avoided being voted out when she's the target has to mean something)

3. Genevieve (don't think her moves will get enough credit as they should and people will just view the "character" as being cold blooded)

4. Teeny (I think she'll at least have a small shot to win with some moves made, but it's really only happening if it's a specific f3)

5. Sam (started off strong but hasn't been as good lately despite people painting him as the big target)

6. Sue (nobody knows what's up with the dirt or if it actually helps your skin 24/7, but this week she literally looked like they opened a grave...the dirt has to go)

Re: Survivor 47

didn't think that plan had a chance at working as Andy was pushing too hard. Maybe he is always that weird and they didn't notice but most of the time he isn't like that when shown on tv.

Glad another Sue ally got sent home. She has to be one of the most delusional players. No one is even thinking about bringing her name up. She will probably be able to keep her idol because no one sees her as a threat. Meanwhile she thinks she is running the game.

Re: Survivor 47

Yeah players like Rachel don’t have anything major on their resume right now, but her surviving the one tribal and then this strategic use of the SITD is a foundation she can build on. If she masterminds a blindside, gets an immunity or two, all the sudden she’s a front runner as others with more impressive resumes are voted out.

You don’t have to be the best of all players, just have to be the best of those who remain at the end.

It’s eye opening and shows how much we really don’t know the real vibe of the tribe when people are going hard after players the viewers don’t see as a major threat. People hold grudges like crazy too, lol.

Caroline I think can be read like a book once people start paying attention to her more. She just looks calculating, kind of like Emily from S45 but without her opening her mouth to put the target on herself, ha.

Dang, this post hit it on the head. Rachel probably wins this whole thing if Andy and maybe Genevieve isn’t sitting with her at the end. It’s a clear 3 v 3 now, but the one 3 has what they consider themselves to be heavy hitters (Andy, Gen, Sam) so 0% chance they go head to head at the end.

Teeny might be too chaotic for anyone to trust her into the final. She could be the weak one who goes late.

Re: Survivor 47

Sue telling Caroline she had dirt on her face was hilarious

Re: Survivor 47

Part 1 of the finale airs tonight (part 2 next week).

Also, Survivor Australia could be airing their "Australia vs the World" season earlier than expected due to the hype around it.

Names like Tony, Parvati, Cirie will be representing Survivor USA.

Seeing those 3 playing Survivor again, even if it's a different format, should be fun.

Parvati and Tony are also going to be on Traitors which airs next month. That show was built for "gamers" like Survivor and BB players, despite the rest of the players in that cast disagreeing (which is what makes the show so fun, that show is peak cut throat drama/chaos).

Re: Survivor 47

Really thought Andy was in the f3 the way they edited him most of the season. Surprised he didn't even make f5.

Genevive or Rachel has to win or else this will be a disappointment

Edit:
And then Genevieve gets voted out! For such a good as this has been, it feels like we're setting up for a disappointing F3. If the f3 is Teeny, Sue, Sam, that'll be the biggest letdown ever and no reason they should've made this a 2 week finale.

Re: Survivor 47

Andy legitimately talked himself out of the game. How they didn’t think that Rachel could have something is beyond me?! Could’ve put 2 on Sue instead and flushed the idol.

The disrespect to Andy from Rachel was real, so I understand why he revealed himself. He would have to really frame it well at final tribal if he had made it, because you saw the jury reaction when he danced around whether he had flipped or made a plan.

I’m sure Teeny wins final immunity (worst person always does at the end somehow), they get out Rachel, and we have to settle for Sue or Sam as the winner. Sue was loyal and secretive about her idol, but did nothing else. Sam been on the fringes since merge. Teeny has just gotten yanked around all season. Kind of a bummer ending to an awesome season.

Sue, Sam, Teeny F3 would be up there for one of the worst F3s.

Some seasons ended bad because of a bad winner, but at least there was a good choice at the end who should've won but didn't.

Those 3 in the end...I wouldn't put any of them in the top 5 most deserving to win between anyone in jury or still in the game.

As for why they didn't split the vote...Operation Italy. A move which in hindsight could've been viewed as one of the all time great moves will likely get forgotten about since the very next 2 boots (possibly 3) were all people involved in it.

You're not splitting the vote the Tribal after a split vote blew up in your face. Andy telling Rachel his big plan was definitely stupid but clearly his attempt at jury management.

Re: Survivor 47

Rachel hiding behind the bushes while they conspired against her was awesome lol


But also, she had to point out that they don't have flashlights or anything, but you're constantly covered by cameras, so the comfort of Andy to see the camera and not realize it was tracking Rachel was crazy to me

The amount of cameras they have, people get used to it.

Sure, there's one filming them close up, but I'm sure there's others filming them all the time from afar so it's easy to not think anything of it when you see a camera further away.

Same when Tony had his spy shack. The camera was right there with him, but nobody thought anything of it because the cameras are always around anyways.

Re: Survivor 47

Teeny is useless at challenges.

Rachel leading in the immunity challenge, Teeny sprints over to copy what she's doing.

Then pauses mid fire to ask Rachel what to do next during that firemaking challenge.

Sue reveals she's 59, and people were almost like "Wow...I suspected that, but wow."

Andy's FTC question to Rachel completely rips Mike and Ben for winning their seasons and she agrees with him. That was cold but also true.

I thought this was Rachel's game to lose, but by FTC it really felt so close with her and Sam, and people took a while to think while voting too. Glad she won though, her and Genevieve were the top 2 players this season, glad she pulled out the win.

I know the post show wasn't cared about much and it's one reason they ditched the live one, but I've always looked forward to it. Seeing people's thoughts once reflecting back on things, and getting the winner crowned with the crowd cheering and them celebrating with their family is the climax of the season. It just being announced and immediately dive right into the post show with crew setting up the Tribal and champagne and pizza and all that doesn't feel special.

Re: Survivor 47

That fire challenge was insanity. Never seen such a big fire not catch the rope on fire.

I wish the post show was longer. I hate how Survivor doesn't utilize even putting extra clips onto Paramount. They probably talked for 2 hours and we get like 15 minutes.
