Survivor 30 - Lost World; Pool and Discussion

[Cheese]

Can you imagine a final 3 of Rodney, Dan and Shirin? FML

[CaptainCrunch]

I want that because the jury rage would be epic.

It would be more like a WW2 movie interrogation with rage then anything else.

I kind of like Shirin. Yeah, she's a fangirl and I can see how that would annoy folk out there but she seems likeable enough. As far as "deserves" goes, yes this would be a terrible F3 based on the game so far.

Nice try with the idol, though.

Great looking fake idol. Unfortunately the numbers weren't right to make a fake idol bluff work. It would have worked (In a different manner) last week.

Gotta admit I'm having a hard time envisioning this being anything but an easy victory for Mike based on the edit.

I like Shirin too. I get the feeling that she could make the final 3 and actually win, with the story being that she goes from outcast to winning respect/acceptance at the end. Other than her, and one of Rodney (who is starting to seem more likable) or Mike I don't see anyone else winning.

Looks like it's Mike vs Rodney now and that may give Shirin/Jenn an opportunity to survive a few more votes.

Joe will definitely win fan favorite and return in a future season. He had a lot of great moments this episode and was fighting hard in that immunity challenge. That fake idol looked legitimate and at least he made it interesting until the end. He's a nicer version of Ozzy.

Hated Mike to start but he's starting to grow on me...

I think Tyler is the dark horse who could make a serious individual immunity idol run.

Great, great episode with a predictable boot. Tons of drama the entire hour.

Will is a coward, goes after Shirin rather than Mike or Jenn. That was disgusting.

Shirin already has 3 jury votes and I'd like to see her or Mike win but I don't see how they get to the end. If Dan and Mike worked together again next vote that extra vote advantage could help flip the power.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Will comes out of that episode looking really, really bad. That was over the top. Kinda pathetic almost everyone was just standing there watching him tear into her instead of saying something. Kinda sad.

That extra vote Dan got is massive. If he can hold onto it for a while he'll be in great shape.

Next week should be a good one.

[Weitz]

I loved how will tried to play off he didn't personally attack shirin during tribal. What a tool. Same with everyone just watching. Totally unacceptable.

[Acey]

That episode was among the nastiest I can recall seeing in 30 seasons of this. Brutal.

[squiggs96]

I never liked Will in this game, but that was brutal by him. Maybe Shirin is a lot nicer than I am, but if you personally attack me and then shrug it off by saying, "it's the truth. That's not mean", I'm going to personally attack you. I looked up to see his YouTube channel since he is billed as a YouTube sensation. What I didn't realize was he sang at a gas station on Leno and the video has been viewed a lot. He says he doesn't want people to know of his fame on the show. What? He doesn't have any fame. He isn't a celebrity, and he's a giant Bieksa.

Dan is as unlikeable as anyone I've seen on this show. I'm sure it was asked and discussed on the island, but not shown on TV, but I found it odd nothing was aired about his advantage from the auction. On a related note, if I'm Mike there is no way I'm buying the letter. I wouldn't have gone up the way he did and went back, but I'd have just said no. Dan, Carolyn and Rodney are always talking about how it's a game. Dan especially is all about how he's a huge fan and knows how to play. You want that letter? You get no chance at the advantage. There is no way he should get the letter and immunity. Maybe I'm dead inside, but I also think I'll be okay for a month without a letter. I've been away from loved ones for longer and been just fine.

If the bottom three were trying to swing Dan to vote with them, why wouldn't they have voted for Carolyn? If Dan doesn't vote with them they got to a 3-3-3 tie, they re-vote and Jenn goes home. But what if Dan did go with them? Then they lose Jenn anyways without giving it some effort. Likely something happened that wasn't aired, but I surprised at the vote totals.

[Property Manager DB]

That was a crazy episode. Ruthless on by Will with the personal attacks. As much as I don't like Shirin, I give her a lot of props for sticking her hand up as payback to Will.

Wouldn't that be a treat, send Rodney packing...

[GreenLantern]

Great episode entertainment wise, but I felt like a tool watching Will tear into Shirin. I didn't necessarily enjoy that part and I can't believe that nobody did anything to help her besides Mike.

Like just tell Will to go for a walk and cool down or something. Rodney did kind of pull Will back down into his seat at one point when him and Mike were getting into it, but there was a lot more that could have been done to end it.

On the flip side, this is a social game Shirin so just let Will shoot himself in the foot, as hard as it is to take, and move on. Nobody is voting for Will at the end before this, and especially not after lol.

Dan's double vote is pretty damn powerful, good on Survivor for finding a way even after all of these years to be original. (We have never seen that before right?)

Edit: Damnit I was going to try and keep this post short... but isn't that the second time Shirin has voted against the person she was "aligned" with to save her own but? Jen was the only one who actually voted the way they were supposed to. I don't think that is buying Shirin any votes on the jury with her "Oh so sorry, but better you than me." tactic.

[CaptainCrunch]

Will is the last person that should be beaking at anyone, he's useless in the social game and he can't do challenges, actually its a brilliant strategy to get to the final 3.

And get murdered.

[squiggs96]

I'd love to play poker with Rodney. He'd have every tell imaginable. It was funny to me when Rodney got called out twice for his alliance of four and just goes off like a crazy man while Mike chewed his bark. That's exactly what it looks like when you're caught. When a guy is screaming RELAX while the other guys looks bored, you're the one who needs to relax. Rodney keeps talking about how he uses his brain. He's too dumb to know how dumb he is.

[Weitz]

Are we allowed to talk about the preview of next weeks episode?

Might be a game changer.


Also I am actually pulling for Shirin now. I feel she has been unfairly treated by the others, although it could just be the way it is edited. But for will to say things like "more people here like me than everyone at home loves you" or something like that was just ridiculous. I am happy it was brought up at tribal so the 2 others could see what happened... But I guess Jen could just fill them in anyway.

If Tyler finding out about Dan's extra vote somehow leads to Dan flipping, next week could be a good one.

Or if it forces him to waste the advantage that would be funny too.

I was confused by that too. I'm guessing the bottom three knew Dan wasn't going to flip and with Jenn wanting to go home, they didn't want to risk Shirin going in a tie vote and put their votes on Jenn to ensure she went.

I've never watched a season where I hated so many players. Dan, Rodney, Will.. Damn.

[Flash Walken]
