Survivor - Season 37 - David vs Goliath

[Iggy_12]

How annoying is Angelina, i cant stand her. Just me?

[Fuzz]

Could you imagine being in her group of friends?


"Where should we go for dinner?"


"We should all make this decision together, as a group. For that reason we are going for Chinese because it's the right decision, and we'll march in there and take no prisoners! No dumpling left behind!"

[Cheese]

bigtmac19 got her first hit and White Tiger has been eliminated with Elizabeth's termination.


Angelina made the short list with her actions and looked pretty bad doing it.

Yes, I was really hoping she would be blindsided last night, and not just because I had Elizabeth as one of my picks!

Very Annoying!

Christian, Gabi, and Nick must be really banking on the 3 David/3 Goliath alliance, and are willing to vote out another David until final 11 where that alliance hopefully comes together and gets a 6-5 advantage.



Angelina hates any plan that isn't hers, she's crazy.

[WhiteTiger]

Hunh, kinda surprised to see a unanimous vote. I was kinda hoping that Angelina had finally talked herself off the show.

[Oling_Roachinen]

I like Angelina actually. Better than just a pretty face who smiles and nods and does what her majority alliance wants until she's cut.

It sucks when you have a spoiled baby who needs her way in your alliance, but the alliance didn't do themselves any favour when they have a secret meeting without her and decide who's going home with a last minute change without her input. And then be condescending about it to her as they tell her that. That's a quick way to show her who's at the bottom and gives her zero incentive to play nice.

This is a part where some tact probably goes a long way. Have your secret meeting, decide that Elizabeth is going, cool. But then go and tell Angelina that some alliance members are second-guessing their votes and another full alliance discussion is needed, have everyone but Angelina pick Elizabeth, pretend that you're actually listening to her and not making decisions behind her back. Instead Dan was more or less an ass about it, so of course she's going to be pissed.

[Fuzz]

I don't blame them for having a meeting without her. The first one was more of a dictatorship than a discussion. Her main issue was that they didn't want to do what she wanted. Boohoo. That's when you let everyone else have their way, and try later. It's called picking your battles.

[Oling_Roachinen]

The meeting without her wasn't the issue. Letting her know they had a meeting without her and making the "final decision" without her was. That clearly and obviously puts her at the bottom of the alliance. Don't be surprised when she goes rouge, especially on the surface when it looks like it's 7-6 and her swaying could have made it 6-7.

Again, lie to her and pretend like she has input. It's Survivor. Would have taken all of three minutes to get together.

Have to admit, I enjoyed that episode.

So was that strategy on the part of the David's? Knowing what was going where in terms of votes and idols, and they threw a few "just in case" votes out there? I'd hate to think it's all luck and not brilliant strategy.

That's the gameplay I've been missing ever since all stars.

One the best tribals in Survivor history. Really good episode.

[calgarybornnraised]

Now that's a hell of a blindside. Obviously Nick knew how it would play out. The 3 votes prove that.

[Fuzz]

I was sure they put the votes on Angelina, and were going to use the idol nulifier. USE IT USE IT YOU FOOLS! Then, blamo, they had it covered.


Funny when Nick was saying how it sucks to have people telling you who to vote for, and Angelina is sitting in front of him nodding in agreement. Lacking self awareness? She sure wanted us to know it was her idea to get rid of Christian, despite everyone agreeing in the previous episode, but said "now isn't the time".


Also awesome seeing instant karma on Dan fro getting cocky.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

The best tribal this season, and one of the best ones in a while. That was fun to watch.

Next week looks interesting too.

[CaptainCrunch]

That was a top 10 tribal to me.



I had the eventual loser as a finalist, he was playing a good game and eventually his physical shape would have won him challenges.

[calgarybornnraised]

The 3 deciding votes had to know how things would shake out. Right?

I really thought Dan wasn't going to give it to her.

[billybob123]

How about Dan's episode tonight? Editing perhaps, but he got cocky at the immunity challenge and lost it for his tribe. Then he thinks he's sitting pretty with immunity pkus two hidden idols. Has to play one for someone he loathes, flushed out by his opposition, and it's wasted and he loses his close ally in the game. And preview suggests he's going to lose Kara next?

Also does Alec get any respect? He cratered the Goliaths by ratting out their vote on the DL. He's amazingly chaotic and doesn't seem to be getting the respect for it.

Great episode. My kids loved when John's name came up. I may have jumped up from my chair...

[mile]

John came across really well the entire season, and was a good sport about this blindside, What a great tribal council - Davids really outplayed the Goliaths here.



If both sides vote along tribal lines again and the Davids use their vote stealer they'll have the numbers now. But I think Alec is going to jump ship - he's playing a really good double agent game right now.



Dan using his second idol next week only to have it nullified and going home would be gold.

[bigtmac19]

Well I'm out. I'm disappointed, John was playing well and I thought he would go far.

[Parallex]

This is a great season. My expectations were so low before the season started but damn has this ever been a good cast...there are at least 4 players that I'd like to see play again (John, Christian, Nick, & Davie). That's a great cast.
