Survivor - Season 37 - David vs Goliath

[savardandjokinen]

Wow I love it! It seems like from here on in anyone could go at any time. I guess mike, Angelina and nick seem to be together, Kara and Alison seem to be together, and davie and Christian are in the middle, but there’s also a high chance both sides come together, as there’s no clear lines

You could see the moment Gabby's heart broke when Christian's girlfriend came out.

[WhiteTiger]

That was one heck of an episode. I love that Angelina and Mike snuck Gabby's name in there, too. Well done.

I found it interesting that while Davie warned Christian he was on the block...he still voted for him.

[mile]

Was hoping Gabby and Christian would stick together, but was fine with her going after she wanted Christian out.


I think it was a good move for Davie to tell Christian. As soon as Christian is gone, he's probably next. Also a nice move to write Christian's name down to keep up appearances with his alliance.



I can see anyone winning this season at this point.

[flamesrule14]

That was very satisfying. Couldn’t stand Gabby and loved seeing her plan blow up in her face. Pretty good season thus far. I really don’t know who is going to win this thing.

[Flash Walken]

Great tribal.

Great season.

Laughed so hard throughout this episode.

I think it was a win-win move for Davie to do that. If Christian goes home, Davie earns good Jury favor with Christian. If Christian stays, Davie gains a voting ally for his speculated upcoming power move. He'll still have to reconcile his vote with Christian, but I think an extremely rationale guy like him will understand.

Good riddance to Waaaaaaa-bby. She played that card way too early and should have waited until ~5 were left and then turned on Christian. So karmic she got the reverse shotgun, and Christian didn't even vote for her.

[Flash Walken]

Davie quietly has the inside track on winning this season I think.

He's great in challenges, is low key, and understands the basics of blocking.

[Fuzz]

He hasn't got a lot of screen time though, usually the favourites get more.


At this point I'd guess Christian. But he is going to need to be a challenge/idol beast to get through the next few votes.

[NuclearFart]

If Davie can make it to the end I think he becomes the favorite, but largely because he won't make it there if he can't take out the obvious current favorites. While he's been lower profile, he played a visible role in those 2 pivotal tribal councils, he hasn't pissed anyone off (yet), and he at least claims he's gearing up for another power move soon. It remains to be seen if he can execute with less help.

Sadly, I'm not sure Christian has the physical skills to run the board on immunity challenges until the end, and last nights tribal only further galvanized his threat level.

[Oling_Roachinen]

Christian seems more on pace to become a returnee Survivor in a later season than to win this one in my opinion. A bit too early for him to be targeted and still make the final tribal. Maybe a hidden idol and a couple other idol wins, but it will be tough.

With Gabby voted out Puxlut takes a first hit and Tron_fdc is given the royal boot.

There was an interview with the producers on the hollywood reporter. He said it was the right move to make at that time.

Do you think Gabby made the right move, even if it backfired?

It was 100% the right move. Gabby could not have won the game with Christian by her side. Her instinct was correct. Some people have criticized her timing, but it's very easy to forget that the players don't know everything the audience knows. Christian is a challenge threat as well as a massive threat to win the game. She saw a shot and took it. Personally, I'd rather go out like Gabby than make it to the end and get no votes.

My PVR randomly decided not to record tonight’s episode!

[WhiteTiger]

Well, that was not where I saw that episode going at all. Too bad, he was my favorite to win.

Now...I don't really care who wins, to be honest. I do like Nick and Davie's games so far, though.

[CaptainCrunch]

This season has been terrific, I've really enjoyed it.



As bought up in Tribal the old style alliance based game has pretty much died, a few seasons back when the concept of voting blocks came up instead, its been perfected this year.


You can't help but feel good for Christian with his final message in the end, even though he lost the game, he's one of those few that has had a real journey of self discovery and is almost a different person from day one.



Good on Jeff for going along with the Nick deception, he had no choice but to play that idol.


I think we're going to see a major throat cutting soon, Nick is a guy that I wouldn't want to go against in front of the jury.

[savardandjokinen]

This season keeps opening up more and more. I could see anything happening. Angelina seems like a good chance to make the finals but not get a vote to win tbh

[mile]

Nooooooo Christian
He'll definitely be back for another season or two, one of the biggest fan favorites they've had in a long time.



I think Davie will win, he's been really impressive with his reads on the game. Can also see Mike or Nick winning but I hope Davie pulls it off. Tonight was a bad night for Nick.


Angelina...ugh. If she's in the final 3 I look forward to her getting zero votes.

[CaptainCrunch]

I laughed at him praying to god for a sign during that game and the Flames bending away because of the wind.


Yeah, if there is a god, he's probably not watching survivor.

KevanGuy and surferguy both gone after Christians boot.
