Watching season one and JEFF ISN'T NARRATING THE CHALLENGES. I've taken to calling the challenges Jeff style in my living room.

I'm rewatching heroes vs villains, just starting the final episode. Despite having a great season, I just cannot stand Russell. He makes all my spider senses tingle and he just has so many moments where he's a huge bully; it's more than just the edit talking.

I am so so so excited for him to get humbled when Sandra wins.

Also, my roommate and I decided to try to watch every season this summer! :D
Does he ever humble at all? As a recent rewatcher it seems to me his takeaway was more of the "this game is flawed"-persuasion.

Reporting back on this - you were exactly right. I must be remembering his reaction to a different season because I def remember him on the verge of tears on some reunion. His actual reaction here didn't make me like him any better though...
edit: spoilers for survivor: redemption island!

His third appearance, the season Boston Rob won, Russell's tribe threw a challenge to get rid of him and when Russell lost the duel and was eliminated, he cried at the arena. Maybe that's what you are remembering?

Looks like good immunity challenge. Can't wait for what happens. More bulletins as events warrant.

Woo has immunity. Bye Tony. It's not been nice knowing you. I'm positive Kass will win.

Wow. Unbelievable that Woo took Tony, after all that. A throw-away-the-million-dollars move if ever there was one. In fact, probably the clearest case of someone making an obvious and totally losing finals move since Colby took Tina all the way back in season 2.

I'm glad he made that mistake, because Tony winning was manifestly the best outcome, but it was surprising nonetheless.

Great season, with great players. I would be pleased to see lots of them back.

Now that the forum game is over, I can post this.
I keep reading that people think in the final voting, people should vote for who they think "played best" and "deserves to win". But doesn't it make much more sense to vote for the person that screwed you over the least, in order to disincentivize people from working against you?

That would be ingame vs out game stances. In game you say you won't vote to give someone the money if they vote you out. Out game you no longer have investment and should vote for the more deserving player(which could be the one who didn't screw you over)

This does, on occasion, happen. Vytas, one of my favorite players, explicitly guaranteed Tyson he would not vote for him if Tyson voted him out. Even though he firmly and obviously believed Tyson played the better game, Vytas did not vote for him in the end.

But lots of people participate multiple times, so if they dont vote for people who screwed them over, that increases their chances in the next game.

What a finale!

It's awesome Woo cost himself the win by winning the last immunity challenge.

Tony winning is such a satisfaction. The editors did a great job keeping things exciting this season. It's pretty amazing survivor is going stronger than ever after 28 seasons!

I've only seen who wins the show, I haven't watched the reunion yet.

If Spencer couldn't have won (<3 <3 <3) then I'm glad Tony did; I actually would have rather seen Kass win than Woo, it makes me so mad when people get to the end because someone dragged them there and they didn't do anything, and seeing them win leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I was so proud of Spencer's (<3) jury speech. It all seemed so familiar  :P

As far as jury strategies, there's no real incentive to follow through on your threats once you're voted out. Off the top of my head I remember Parvati and Candice telling Yul they would vote for him if he got rid of Penner before them. He did, and I know Parvati ended up voting for Ozzy in the end anyway (she wrote "Oscar" on his vote, that's why I remember). The way I saw it (at least in the forum game) was that I just wasn't going to tell people how I'd vote, because that gives them incentive to vote me off. Well, I only told the people I wouldn't be voting for how I'd be voting  :P

I think jury decisions are so personal and so unique to each game and the relationships you form in those games that coming up with a "jury reputation" couldn't have any measurable effect on one person's success. Maybe in shorter games that you play a lot more times it can work but I think Survivor is too big. Just my opinion.

I agree. In general, people will vote for whoever they respect and like. You won't gain either by making threats.

FINALLY finishing season 1.

I can't help but draw comparisons between Kelly's situation at the end and Woo's. Just ridiculous terrible choices to bring Rich/Tony to the end. And I liked Kelly/Woo sooooo much better than the eventual winners too! :'(

Next season's cast has been revealed. It seems isn't possible to put pictures inside spoiler tags here, hopefully no one minds seeing this:


The guy in on the left in the back row is John Rocker, a guy who used to play in MLB and is apparently a ridiculous racist. I think he has a decent chance at being this years Phillip/Kass, a goat carried far because there is just zero chance he gets any jury votes at the end. It's of course also possible he is so insufferable he goes out early, but being physically strong should give him some buffer pre-merge. The two black women in the front were in amazing race, and multiple people have said they were just about the most annoying duo to ever appear on their TV. I watched one interview, and can totally see what people were talking about. I don't know anything about the rest of the cast.
