'Survivor: One World' Season 24 on CBS HD - Page 30

Well, let's not kid ourselves - they've more or less casted this way from Season 1, with Greg and his quirks - speaking into the coconut phone at all times, and many other wanting to become stars like Colleen (acting), Gervis, etc.

Now, they may cast even more from CA, but this show has always attracted and casted people who aren't the most grounded.

No shot at winning? That's not accurate. She certainly had a shot, more so than a lot people this season. She formed a friendship/alliance early that was strong enough not to get her voted out from one early bad team challenge performance. In fact, one of the reasons she was taken out was because she was a threat to win it all with the jury guys' vote.

btw, WOW, to see her last night - stunning. -

So it seems Sabrina was wrong that Tarzan might get the men's vote if they took him to the finals, considering that Mike flipped the bird at Tarzan's exit speech.

Last nights episode reminded my of why this is one of my least favorite seasons of Survivor.Though the producers tried to edit the episode to inject some drama. The women did the expected by voting out Tarzan. Even though neither Kim or Chelsea had immunity Alisha did not make a big move to get rid of either of them.If the vote had been tied she could have forced Kim to vote off Chelsea or go to rocks. Alisha would have been safe from the rocks since she had immunity. Assuming Chelsea and Tarzan were the two targets. Alisha, Tarzan and Chelsea would have been safe. With Kim, Sabrina and Christina having to go to rocks.If Alisha had forced a tie either Chelsea would have gone home on the second vote or Sabrina or Kim could have gone out with the rocks. The only downside for Alisha is if Christina had drawn a rock.Now Kim and her alliance can pick off Alisha and Christina depending on whoever does not get immunity.

I didn't miss your point at all. Your point was clearly an over reaction to what mgk said. What I was trying to get you to understand is that everything is relative and that not everyone that has had some kind of medical issue is washed up and can no longer function like everyone else or become a "danger to society". That's just hilariously stupid.



Quite simple Ed, it's from more than 10 years of reading and watching tons of interviews with ousted contestants who over and over state those very things. Comparing what the contestants themselves have said, to the perception I see stated by a large majority of viewers it's quite clear that most of the viewers don't fully understand what it's really like and fail to factor it in when assessing how players are playing.





Aaaahh, it's good to see that some people can still look at the show with a little objectivity . The fact is that things are never as black and white as a lot of people seem to like to make them out to be. It seems to be the MO of the internet age I guess. The show may not be as good as some of it's best years but it's nowhere near as bad as some like to paint it. And some of it may depend on exactly why a person watches too. If you're the kind of person who watches solely for supreme gameplay, you're probably not as happy as you could be. But if you watch for other reasons there's just as much reason as ever to tune in. Personally, I like it for various reasons but the biggest one is to watch how the individual contestants handle and react to the situation they are placed in. The sociological aspect of it.

It was quite fun watching Kim just outright own Alicia last night. The girl has got some skills. A fairly interesting interview of Tarzan from Rob Cesternino today where he does a pretty good job of explaining what his thinking was and how some of the stuff went down compared to how it looked on TV:

so what are your predictions for final 3?

i see kim and christina making it with great uncertainty over the 3rd member. christina is no threat and kim has an idol and will likely win one of the challenges left. i think chelsea is probably the least likely to make it. tough call between alicia and sabrina. if kim gets her way (which she mostly has), alicia will make it to the final three. i think chelsea's best and maybe only shot to make it is by winning the next two immunity challenges.

Compare that to the warm reception he actually got when he reached Ponderosa and you might not say the same thing. It's also interesting that Tarzan actually was intending to piss the guys off at tribal and provide them reason not to want to give him votes, in an attempt to get the girls to keep him (as his talks about in the Rob C interview).


The only reason Alicia decided to not insist on Chelsea was because Kim completely bamboozled her into wanting to vote Tarzan instead. The drama was in the game play of how that went down, not in the vote at the end.


ron

yep. that was awesome. kim knows how to play the game.

Yeah, the last few episodes, Kim has been absolutely masterful in how she has been manipulating everyone to vote more or less how she wants. She is just planting little seeds and letting the ideas germinate in the other players heads. Fantastic stuff.

Anyone but Alicia! That's not a prediction, just wishful thinking.

Christina looking really sexy. I cant wait to see her on Sunday on the live/not live show.

I didn't say he could "no longer function." All I ask is that after one has supposedly "recovered," that they should stop and consider if their "need for speed and freedom," is really worth the risks to those around them.

And more importantly that one probably shouldn't be "shocked" at the reaction when one states the equivalent of, 'I just drank a six-pack ... I'm fine to drive, really I am.'

I do not think Kim got one over on Alicia. It is a hard choice on who you bring to the final. Tarzan is the easiest to target since he could be the only guy at the final with a jury full of angry dudes. We have the advantage/disadvantage of seeing the producers trying to paint Kim as the mastermind. She is not that good, but she is an intelligent player. Alicia has been fairly consistent. If she sees you as a threat at the final she removes you.

Isn't it obvious that this is Kim's to lose?

I guess, at the reunion, Jeff will say "Thank you all for the most boring season". Where we all knew from episode 8 the winner and who would be voted out every time.

Like clockwork at the reunion show, Jeff will state that this has been one of the best, most unique seasons ever.

Just think, we get to see Colton again.

And Tarzan will say "The game is no longer afoot."

Most likely we will see something between Bill and him, I am expecting either fake apologies from Colton, or Bill just taking the high road.

After Sunday's two-hour finale of Survivor: One World, with the "Reunion" special, I look forward to whether there is any addressing -- or whether there is deliberate glossing over -- the hateful and racist Colton.

That was so-o-o-o one year and two Redemption Islands ago!

I think Kim will win the 100k fan vote, at the very least.

I have thrown away my toothbrush and toothpaste and I use only sticks from my back yard!

Now, when I smile at night my teeth can be seen from space!!

And my prediction is for a non-jury member, he will get the most air time ever at one of these reunion shows. Then, as WaTaGuMp referenced and like with all shows that had a nasty confrontation, Jeff will ask Bill and Colton if they are friends now.


I gotta say, I think they need to start making this show tougher in regards to food. I swear, looking at Alicia when the show started and now, it looks like she's gained weight.

Speaking of, I am stumped at the Alicia-Christina relationship. In the beginning they hated each other. Then that mellowed out and they were cordial. Then the tribes switched and Alicia was back to attacking Christina (with Colton's nudging of course). Now, they are back to talking and are actually allies. Very strange love-hate relationship going on there.

Oh, and to concur with what others have said about Christina, I think she may actually have a better body than Chelsea, which I wouldn't have said early on in the show.

The reunion shows are always disappointing. They tease about conflict or resolution, but only gives 30 seconds to the matter and gloss over stuff.
