Survivor 25: Philippines Pool and Discussion (September 19th premier)

[albertGQ]

There is always one person every season I hate. This season, it is Abi

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Katie was definitely the right choice, even if she was my pick. And I do hope they merge next week, let's shake this thing up.

[Yanda]

tonights episode was probably the worst of the season.. No reward challenge, boring Immunity. This season is just full of mediocre players, Abi is the female version of Colton only she hasnt been hit with the wrath of karma yet.

[trackercowe]

Yep I hate Abi as well, and it's quite a shame Mike didn't shift his allegiances over to the other side. I actually felt bad for RC, as she seemed like a nice girl, and was never given a fair shake by her tribe. Obviously cat face Abi was jealous of her looks and personality.

I was rooting for Jeff or Mike to win beforehand, but not a fan at of them going with Pete and Abi. I wouldn't even bother watching a final 3 of Pete, Abi, and the black dude. Those three give real villains like Russell a bad name, these guys are just are outright malevolent jerks.

This season started out pretty good, but will go downhill quickly if the yellow tribe runs the show from now on.

the vote didn't make sense

why did Skupin vote out Penner, was he in on the plan to get her or RC out (which makes no sense as that was his biggest ally?)

the good thing is with all the uncertainty it doesn't seem like there will be an alliance that just dominates so there should be some good blindsides

[d_phaneuf]

Abi can't go fast enough though, she's the worst

[Cheese]

^^^ she sure comes off as a bitch the way they have compiled the show. She must be different off camera not to have attracted the attention we see from her weekly. Either that or she gives good...erm...something.

[Hockeyguy15]

Even though I have Malcom I laughed when Lisa unpacked his clothes and found the idol.

[SilverGS]

I guess we will see but Kent's move may just have sealed his fate. Instead of using Penner and Skupin to oust the strongest alliance, take control, and basically be the top dog he decided he would rather be on the bottom of the Pete 3some all because all he wants to do is make it farther than Penner?

He is not playing to win the game he is playing to make at farther than Penner for some insane reason. Because he is a Veteran who never won? Woo he played the game before big deal. Skupin and Penner were first ones out of the challenges. If anything he could've used them to oust all the challenge threats then just beat them in immunity challenges to the final 3. Now he is at the mercy of Pete, Abi, and Artis who all did well in the challenge.

Yeah an hour is not enough time to potentially show everything that may have gone on. I guess Skupin knew what was going down and played along to try and last it out longer than Penner as well.

[Komskies]

With that Aeneas is out.

Really not a fan of how that tribal went last night. I was cheering for Jeff Kent, but I think that was an idiotic move on his part. He's kidding himself if he thinks he's in an alliance with Pete, Abi, and Artis. Right now he probably has Carter, and that's it. I think he was about 3 or 4 weeks too early in making a big move like that. He should've gone with Penner and Skupin, taken out the Pete/Abi/Artis tio, then focus on getting rid of Penner, Malcolm, Skupin, and Denise.

I agree about RC too, she never really got a fair shake it seems. She was just unfortunate to be on a tribe full of ****bags.

[Hockeyguy15]

I hope RC gives Abi a big "F U, I told you so" at the reunion when the topic of Pete planting the clue comes up.

[GreenLantern]

I also hope that Abi gets torn into at both the final tribal and the reunion, I have a feeling that Probst will have a few things to say to her, he is usually good at exposing people for what they really are (see temper tantrum Sofie).

Huge mistake by Jeff Kent. Huge. He went from having a solid three to four with Denise, and two potential floppers. To basically being him and Carter vs. everyone. Skupin can't trust him now, Penner definitely can't, it is clear that Malcolm and Denise are back on the same page, and then you have team bullies doing their thing.

I was also rooting for Kent, but after a move like that I just can't see him winning, and really I don't want to either. I am all about Malcolm now.

[Hockeyguy15]

I think Malcom and Denise are in the best position going forward. If I am those two it goes like this.

1. Take out Penner
2. Convince Abi and Pete Artis is a threat because he is good in challenges and get him out
3. Jeff Kent or Carter
4. Jeff Kent or Carter
5. Skupin
6. Convince Lisa to take out Pete
7. Lisa

Abi, Denise, Malcom final 3. Malcom or Denise wins since no one would vote for Abi.

[Flash Walken]

I was telling my wife last time that Kent should've gone with Penner in that vote (the one before this latest tribal).

You have to make bold moves early if you want them to work. Suddenly, going into a merge with a loyal to the group member (katie) instead of a guy you want to oust right away (penner) would've made this vote much easier to solidify control.

Instead, the delay forced the issue tonight for play the idol rather than a complete blindside at last tribal.

As for why Abi is still around: she's like a weapon. There's little attention on anyone else when she's around. Good strategy. I'd take her all the way to the end if I could.

[Komskies]

The question tonight is: Can Penner win immunity or find an idol? I have to think he's going tonight he doesn't get some sort of immunity.

The previews show Lisa trying to make a power play this week, but I just don't see her having enough friends out there to accomplish anything.

[GreenLantern]

I love the people that don't play the game for the first 20 days, then when they somehow are left make one move and say it was their strategy the whole time.

You were fortunate of the circumstances, don't take credit for the fact you were so useless that nobody thought to vote you out as a threat.

/rant

I hope somehow, some way, anyone but Penner goes home.

[CaptainCrunch]

If I was playing that game, and Blair approached me for a deal, I would do anything as long as she err snuggled with me.


Come on people its Blair

[Cheese]

Don't miss tonites show...the best tribal council ever.

[3 Justin 3]

Abi is the probably the worst person to play survivor. What a moron.

"Yeah I have one!"

Dumb ass.

[trackercowe]

Great tribal, but unfortunate result with Jeff being voted out. Pete did grow on me a bit tonight, but I dislike the rest of his tribe (Skupin included).
