Survivor 40 - Winners at War

[corporatejay]

Wendell is an easy get later on. He's bound to offend someone. He's cocky. He's abnoxious.

I think Michelle's entire thing is an act and that's she's playing a really smart game with Wendell.

Wendell might be the single most dangerous individual immunity contestant left in the game.

Don't think he's an easy out at all. He's excellent at challenges and he's a resourceful idol hunter. In his season he was a threat in every reward/immunity challenge and I believe played 2 idols in that season, both for people other than himself.

After Yul, I think Wendell is the most dangerous player to have around post-merge.

Wendell was not like this at all in his original season. He was the hero and dom was the villain. This season he’s portraying the villain, and he’s not doing a good job of it

[mile]

I would also rank Sophie, Kim, and Jeremy pretty high in terms of threats for individual immunity. Sophie's been dominant at the puzzles and is no slouch physically, she beat Ozzy in her season. Kim won 4 individual immunities. I can see Jeremy going on an immunity run too.

Yul getting voted out made more sense after a rewatch. Michele and Wendell wouldn't have been doing the puzzle together if things between them were that bad between them. Wendell is Nick's #1 going back to the start of the game. And Yul talked way too much at tribal, all he did was remind the other three of how big of a strategic threat he was.

Totally thought it was gonna be Adam gone. Don't mind Wendell leaving though but would've preferred Adam.

Glad to see Tyson back

[Barnes]

Woooo. Team Barnes back to full strength.

[Fuzz]

Really dislike the advantage for fire tokens. Some had no opportunity to get them, others, through being voted out early in the game, had more chances.



Anyway, Wendell was the right call, as he tied Nick and Michelle together.

That re-entry contest was amazingly close, probably clever editing, but you have to give Rob credit for an older fat guy he has sandpaper.


That fall by Michelle I felt my knee's exploding in sympathy.

man, that fall was absolutely brutal.

It's an element of survivor that I really dislike: the physical contests that represent an element of danger. they have mostly been done away with, but every so often one will pop up like yesterday.

I hate the competitions that have contestants wrestling over a prize or blindfolded walking into things or directly battling each other. Part of that are competitions that have a significant risk factor.

If you're going to do the pole thing, do it over water.

I don't want to see people get serious injuries on my reality TV game show.

Plus, everyone that's done any kind of mental endurance thing knows the higher up you are the most desperate you will be to hold on. Have them hover inches away from the sand or water for as long as possible and you'll see the true mental anguish come out.

[CaptainCrunch]

I actually wanted more of the physical confrontation contests like the ring toss ones or dragging people to a touch out point. But yeah the long falling ones over hard surfaces is not necessary.


For all of the bad things people say about Michele, she's double tough. She rubbed dirt in it and got up.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I still think it was a bad move for Michelle and Nick to vote out Yul. I bet he would've been at least open to some sort of alliance, Wendell you couldn't trust at all.

If Tyson stays low he might be able to go far in the game, it's the Tyson that's loud and obnoxious that gets voted out.

[Cheese]

yoho takes the golden boot and chummer gets his first kick with Wendell voted off, Barnes and trackercowe get a reprieve with Tyson coming back in.


Ive always loved Boston Rob, until this year. He just seems like everyone should do him a favor and keep him around. Still a pretty tight game.

[Weitz]

Chaotic tribal. Lame vote out. Much ado about nothing.

[Fuzz]

Not really anyone I want to cheer for left...

[mile]

I loved the way Adam went out, to me that's gonna up be there with Eliza playing the stick on Fans vs Favourites.

Everybody's playing hard, can't complain. Rooting for Tony, Tyson, and Michele right now.

[CaptainCrunch]

How the frack is Ben still in the game, he's worthless.

[WhiteTiger]

Not really sure what to make of that episode...but Adam's attempt at an Immunity Idol was amusing.

[Cheese]

KFF took his first hit and I got the golden boot with Adams demise.

[CaptainCrunch]

I laughed at Adam yelling "I want to play that" And Jeff dragging it out and the horrified looks of the people at Tribal.


But overall not a great episode, and the game play wasn't great. We've got a bunch of what I call weaker players rising to the top, Ben and Michele and Jeremy are not good players in this format, my fear is that we're going to get a uninspiring final three.

[Misterpants]

Adam was being dramatic to the point of me thinking he was auditioning for a local theatre troupe. Glad he was punted.
