Board 8 > Survivor: Heroes/Healers/Hustlers Discussion Topic 5: Spoiler-free finale

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ben just shit the bed.
---

If Chrissy wins at least we will have another female winner towards the all winners
---

oh no not the children
---

Those kids were standable!
---

Random people with more screentime and talktime than those past Survivors without any.
---

Kelly Wiglesworth
Kim Spradlin
Chrissy Hofbeck
One Other Player
---

Ben is the worst
---

I like Devon the most, but I'd be happy with Chrissy because she was my winner pick.

I hope she doesnt win because of her challenge ability though.
---

lol
---

Hey guys I hope you like Ben

Just sayin

Why would Jenna get Russell'd? Nobody upstairs seems to have any animosity toward her.

Random person Grant got name dropped by Jeff more than most people
---

---

If Ben wins this season, he goes below Mike on my winner ranking. It's that simple.
---

this is how NOT to implement a twist
---

Ben is going to win this fucking season isn't he

Can you just try to put yourself in the mindset of someone with a family? Because I have a family and I just get it. And if you have a family I apologize but this is why I sympathize with Ben.

Yeah Ben is easily the worst winner of he wins. Both as a player and a character.
---

Im a little confused here. Jeff has been talking up how crazy and close the end of this season is, but a Ben-Chrissy-Ryan FTC seems the complete opposite of that.

How do you then?
---

How you see it depends on what you value on survivor, whether this is ben's sob story, or the editor's story.

Most people have families. Chrissy has a family too. If I was out there, I'd be trying to win the million dollars for my family too. Maybe not for a wife and kids, but then we're getting into Terry Dietz territory about what matters and what doesn't.
---

This has to be one of the worst twists ever. Honestly.

Of course Ryan with that really smug comment, ugh.

I have a feeling Ben will John Cena this challenge. NEVER GIVE UP.
---

Ben is a great character but horrible player.
---

Any chance the jury is like "Ben found 3 idols, he didnt need to strategize, dont vote for him"

...
---

It must be nice being Ryan, actively rewarded for being completely useless.

I'm just saying. If I lost a chance at a million dollars for my wife and kids I would be fucking sobbing

Im saying its a bad twist. Akin to Redemption Island. It ruins the format. Its the same as adding the F3 to allow the third place loser to have a chance. Youre pushing back the vote now. This twist pushes the vote back to F5. It doesnt end.

Survivor wants to have its cake and eat it too.

I know you like Ben a lot but this is a bad twist.

devon's got this

I cant believe Dave just won #Survivor 35!!

I hope this is a one-off twist. Ill be disappointed if it sticks. The new FTC format is actually not bad, but this could be ruinous.

I'm not begrudging Ben for his reaction. I just hate the editors painting him as this god amongst men family man just trying to provide for his family, and everyone should love him because he was in the marines and things like that.
---

Devon the one player that's actually been in the know for a lot of the merge, and gonna get twisted out =/
---

It is a bad twist. You said this is not the way to implement a twist though and I seriously meant what I said
---

Devon can be happy knowing that hes the actual best player of the season (final jury member)
---

Im saying you add a twist like the idol in Fiji. Thats how you implement it. From the get-go, make it fair, keeps the tried and true structure - the most important part, the vote - still as important as ever.

This.... ack.
---

So is it the Outcasts twist where they should have been informed of this twist earlier?
---

I'm fine with them trying out twists, I don't like it when people have information on the game format itself that not everyone has
---

I liked this situation better in Gabon, where Bob earned his fire making tiebreaker thanks to Sugar's daddy issues.
---

lets go 3 hour fire making

becky is an underrated player
