Survivor 23: South Pacific - Pool

[Bagor]

Edna comes out of nowhere and nails it at the tribal council.

Weak season. They should consider a Believers vs Non-believers/rapists season.

[CaptainCrunch]

I don't know if I'm going to watch the show anymore. Once again the jury really doesn't get it and uses the jury to even up scores. Cochrane said it best honor or not Coach played an amazing game.

Sophie won immunity challenges but she was a hanger on, strategically worthless and socially inept.

Coach did win challenges, bluffed with the immunity idol, and controlled the alliances from the start.

Coach was smart in getting rid of Ozzy, but Ozzy was in the end useless as well.

Its just too stupid, in the end the jury makes it either a revenge vote because someone played the game better then them and blindsided or they have the popularity contest where the winner is the person that actually had no strategy and just rode coat tales to the end.

This was a terrible ending to a so so season.

[Aeneas]

I always get annoyed by the jury at the end.

All the "you lied to me" "you backstabbed me" wah wah. It's the game. I was certainly one of those that disliked Coach when he first played, but liked him this season. I thought he'd won until the final council.

How delusional Albert was thinking he had the best chance.

It must be hard having Survivor on a Sunday. How did God decide between Survivor and Tebow?

I swear that if I ever got to play that game, I would out strategize the blundering dunderheads that they pick, probably wouldn't win to many immunity challenges anymore, but I would neutralize the whine fest of the jury by basically saying "If you're going to whine and cry and complain about me stabbing you in the back or blindsiding you or making you cry like a three year old, don't bother, I did it, its part of the game and I'm proud of it. If your going to vote against me because I beat you, then you don't understand this game.

I'm not the team slut, I didn't hang onto the coat tales of someone to get here, I made you dance like a puppet and then I shut you down.

I'm here because I'm smarter then you and I played the game better"

I just wish that one player would approach the jury that way, even Russell wussed out in front of the jury.

[Aeneas]

Exactly. Why suck up in the opening statements or in the answers.

I am sitting here, you ar not. Suck it up.

I think if I were in the jury, I'd lean towards the "what's your favourite colour" question.

[CaptainCrunch]

Ok Captain you're up for your question.


Ahem, do you like pie?

Sitsdown.

If I ever played that game, I'd change my first name to Francis just so I could introduce myself to the tribe ala stripes.

Psycho: The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

Yup, season sucked, but I didn't want Ozzy to win either as he has just become an arrogant ######.

At least I have won back-to-back Survivor pools. So what do I win?

You were certainly close, but Cheese wins with Coach over Keith for the tie break.

As the winner, Cheese wins some cheese. And pride. But mostly cheese.


Once again the person I despise the most wins the game. Why do I put myself through this? On a positive note, the premise for the next season "One World" looks pretty intriguing.

One world only really works if they put a raiding system in place to steal supplies from you're enemy camp.

I think they tried it once that if you won immunity beyond the immunity and luxury prize you could take one item from your enemies camp.

Ya, I am glad that it is the majority pissed off about Sophie winning. I was hoping Russell would call it out, because the samething hapened to him, twice. Granted he was a lot more open with his back stabbing, but he still wast he guy that engineered the entire game, just like Coach. And in the end the one who sat back and just didn't do anything to overly piss people off, wins.

Even Sophie being the super huge bratty bitch that she is still won over caoch, that makes me mad. I hated how at the reunion she is STILL acting like a little brat with her eye rolling and gestures. Sophie, do you find it funny that despite all the stuff you had to say about Ozzy HE of all people took the high road to acknowledge your game? Make you feel even more like a little brat now?

Good on Oz for doing that, he has really matured as a player. And he might have arrogance, but has there ever been a player that was so dominant as Oz in challenges? Maybe Tom?

Brandon vs. Russell could be funny to watch. I think that after watching himself over the season Brandon will have a bit of a life changing experience of his own and would come back as a great player the second time around. Coach laid it out best, the first time around is never a true reflection of what you are capable of in this game.. he proved that this season.

I know I will watch next season, but I sure was choked last night. I am just hoping that one of these times the person who wins is so un deserving that there is a mass revolt among the fans, enough to shake the foundations of the show up and they re think the whole process.

[GreenLantern]

Also I have wanted to do this all season...

Spoiler!

[CaptainCrunch]

I thought the most arrogant thing was when Probst handed her the check and she waved it at everyone else.

Like I said there's no point in actually trying to run the game of do any kind of strategy, it might bet you to the finals but being useless and letting a better player piss everyone in the jury off is really the better strategy, I don't know how they addres that, but right now instead of ouwit, outplay and out last the moto should be outhide, outsilence, out sleep will get you further in the game.

Rick is a prime example of that, he did nothing in the camp, he pretty much dissapeared and didn't do anything one he got locked into the alliance. And then once again he got pissy when he was jettisoned.


Rick and Sophie are a prime example of what's wrong with the game right now.

Maybe the jury should be able to vote the final two, and then a fight to the death decides the winner.

Ozzy is a dominant physical player and a great social player but his strategic decision making is terrible.

He also made a huge error by ostracizing Cochrane.

[Regular_John]

Appearing very late in this thread, but watched the whole season. Not really surprised Sophie won really, she did the classic "fly under the radar and don't piss people off" game for pretty much 90% of the challenge. A few weeks ago me and my wife were saying she'd probably win it all because of how clean she's kept her nose this whole time.

By the time she started acting really bratty/spoiled the majority of the jury had already been formed, so they missed most of her truly whiny stuff in the last few days.

But yeah, the religion angle did start to wear really, really thin. "I give you my word as a christian man" seemed to be code for "yup, gonna stab you in the back now". Very annoying.

[JiriHrdina]

Are they going to have a midget this season!? (picture 12)

*edit* looked at the rest of pictures- they are indeed.
That's going to be entertainment at its finest.

Also I concur about the 'talent,' there even appears to be a possible MILF.

Is the MILF you are referring to Brad Culpepper's wife?

I hope I have a body like that when I'm 40.

[CaptainCrunch]

Looks like the typical cast of survivor, the grandma character, hot milf a buncha sluts, the angry black woman, the whimpy nerd oriental, and a heapin helpin of D0uche bags.

Screw it, I'm bettin on the midget.
