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

What

Outcasts was a terrible twist.

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 actually hate the new FTC format more than almost any twist. The jury speeches are one of my favorite parts of the show.
---

I should finish my thoughts. I would have felt that the Outcasts twist would have been better if they informed the players that it was happening.

Idk, gets rid of all the Reeds who just wanna hog

yeah this isnt an advantage, its a fundamental change in the format of the game, which the players should all have been aware of from the start of the game. Id be more okay with it if that was the case (but still wouldnt like it)

imo
---

Fuck off Jeff. Becky, Bob and Carolyn all earned a spot in the final 3 via fire making.
---

Ben, winner of Survivor 35.
---

I mean I love Survivor, favorite show ever, but I also think a part of loving it involves being critical of it too. Not overly critical, but enough to recognize when its making a misstep.
---

Ugh fuck Ben and fuck this season
---

throw this season in the trash
---

lauren's asleep?
---

That fucking blows. Devon earned not just a spot in the finals, but a win as well. That twist was fucking bullshit.
---

So Devon ultimately gets screwed over by TWO (dis)advantages. Nice.
---

yeah devon rockets up to the top of the all-time twist-fucked list
---

I think Devon would have won too. This is worse than Mike but is it worse than people who get dragged? At least he got himself in position.

I totally thought he had it!

Im not pleased.

No. If you get dragged, then you played a good enough social game to earn a spot in the finals, and got the players to vote for you.
---

Btw, if it is that the rumor. Chrissy wins.
---

that was the biggest fire-making blowout ever, right?

i'm pretty confident Ben is winning but Chrissy please pull through
---

Devon made some great actual Survivor moves. Will probably come back.
---

lol Im just sitting here on my phone and then my wife turns to me and says I really dont like that. The whole point is to build relationships to get you to the end. This is so boring now.
---

yo this reunion is going to be like 15 minutes long
---

[cuts off]AND THATS WHY EVERYBODY LOVES DEVON
---

Oh FUCK OFF JEFF
---

Oh fudge.
---

welp

time to stop watching survivor
---

i feel like Devon implied Ben wins there
---

The fire making twist isn't THAT bad. But I feel like if you're gonna do it, then the idols should've expired one round earlier than they did. It's like Yul's HII lasting to the final four, right before they introduced a final 3 twist.

This is Survivor we're talking about. You're not going to stop.

I agree with this. And the fact that players know to expect it is important too

Its poorly implemented.

I know Im being facetious

(however if anyone is disillusioned by this result and wants a different reality show to watch without the bullshit, might I recommend the genius???)
---

I'm sorry. I am so bad at catching sarcasm online.
---

so what are we looking at here? 7-1-0? 6-2-0?
---

do they still do the rites of passage but just dont air it?

I was listening to the KIAs S2 before the finale!
---

Mike definitely isn't voting Ben. i guess everyone else might.

I really don't like this new #Survivor twist. I feel like it injures the core dynamic of the game, which is that eliminations are decided by a contestant vote. THAT SAID, there is a case to be made. (1/2)
---

The final 4 tribal is basically one of two things. A down-the-line vote for one of the season's best players or a tie that leads to fire anyway. Why not skip it and add some drama?

(Though like I said, I'm opposed)

(2/2)

They don't do it

tell me more about the marines ben

Wow. That editing crushed us with Ben. I guess they're phoning it in now.

desiiiiii

Yup. Helicopter shot and heroic music. Ben's winning. Awesome.
---

Ben winning feels like the casual audience Facebook crowd winning.
---

Man, the finales have REALLY gone down the tubes.

Pig = Anyone else winning
