Board 8 > Survivor HHH Discussion Topic 3: Survivor Series

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ryan, Probst said that he would be up for a winners season. He wants to spread the choice out a little more.

I don't think you have enough evidence on Chris and Michele.
---

What more evidence do you need for Chris? Probst doesn't like him and production has never once asked him return. Not even much of a thought to call him to touch base. This comes from the man himself.
---

Well you said that comes from the man himself. Where did he say that because I love Chris.
---

Michele won a fairly popular season, and simply being in a popular season can increase one's returnee odds. I doubt Woo or Tasha returns, for example, if they were in a less popular season.
---

I didn't like Kaoh Rong and still don't like Michele's game.

I want Chris back.

lol at Brian being anything above 0%. Same with Chris.

And nobody was upset Jeremy beat Kelley lol. Nor should they be. The stupid casuals were upset he beat Spencer.

Don't be ignorant. Brian is only 50% because they wanted him back for All-Stars but he demanded the second-place $100,000 upfront. They laughed in his face and I don't believe they've invited him back since because of it.

There were rants on social media about how Wentworth was the most deserving winner. I saw many. To say "nobody" means you pay zero attention to anything Survivor-related on social media.

I'm just going to point out that the whole "Brian demanded an appearance fee for All-Stars" thing is actually BS and didn't happen. I remember Mario (the guy who does the Funny 115) explaining the situation and all that, and how it irritates him people still claim that, lol.

Source?

I remember reading a transcript of an interview with Brian and Sandra as to why they weren't on All-Stars and Brian said that he asked for money; Sandra said she was too sick from her first go and had to wait until their next such season. He was asked about that when he came out of the woodwork for an RHAP interview and he said he's "dropped that request." It made it sound like it actually was the case that he was demanding money.
---

I was disappointed that Jeremy beat Wentworth. I didn't feel he was undeserving, but I was rooting for her all along.

His podcasts with RHAP and the historians. The latter is the one when iirc he says they've never even called him again.

And I never saw a single rant about how Kelley was the most deserving. Granted I don't exactly go out of my way to read social media related to Survivor, nor would I actively go seek out anything about Kelley. So I'll take your word for it. But I'm pretty sure I'd remember it if I saw it cause it'd be hilarious to read.
---

I'll have to look those podcasts up.
---

If they're not in there, then I honestly apologize. But will at least partially lay blame on Mario Lanza for beating that narrative drum all these years.
---

I didn't start listening to rhap until second chance I've only ever listen to the first 3 episodes of historians so chances are they exist lol

It wasn't that hilarious. It was typical "why did the best player get last juror again" stuff. Wentworth was one of the most rootable players that season and you guys all know I've been on #TeamWentworth for a long time, xD

It's funny that that was a thing because I remember being one of the people when Second Chances was airing that felt like Wentworth wasn't the best player and wouldn't actually have been a good winner because of needing to play those Idols (it should be noted for comparison sake, that I consider Mike the worst 'won on their first time' winner).

Which is since I tend to think that only staying because you played an Idol on yourself/had one played on you means you "screwed up, and were essentially voted out". It's the same way I could never get behind anybody winning after coming back from Redemption Island.

wait, is it possible to sign a buff without signing on the actual buff?

If we're bragging about Kelley Wentworth I got her to say she loves big D on Twitter lol
---

ya go my lauren
---

looks like a continued pagonging

zzz
---

I like Lauren she's a unique character type. Everyone else is very cookie cutter.

I know their job is to make us think that this is the case but I'm buying it tonight because of the last time on survivor with mentioning dr. Mike's idol
---

this episode has been kinda boring

i feel like the reward challenge + reward + immunity challenge have taken up most of the episode
---

That's too bad. I liked this episode especially this tribal.
---

really good TC at least
---

Okay so it was a pagonging with with Mike attempting to get the votes on himself and not working.
---

I almost thought it might not be Cole there for a second

almost

next week is a double hour I think, so probably just finishing off mike/joe
---

that was terrible by mike
---

I have this hope that the reason they put the double episode next week instead this week because they are two exciting episodes because the last couple of years the double episode has been good on the fall season.
---

lmao

COAL
---

Mike if you're voting for Cole then why the hell did you play the idol?!
---

I was starting to like Mike but then he burned one of the few opportunities to shake up the game...
---

yeah i kinda feel like we got sold a bag of goods with mike

that play just seemed really bad
---

hey Naomi did you hire a PR guy

theres some dude pimping your YouTube channel on the survivor subreddit
---

Dr. Mike with the malpractice. Never trust a first time player to make a good move.

You were saying?

Boring episode tonight. Don't care to talk about it, aside from Dr. Mike not knowing what he was doing. Trying to get votes on yourself at Tribal NEVER works. Somebody did the opposite and flipped to Cole lol
---

Amazon has apparently quietly released the DVDs and Blu Rays of Amazing Race 22-27 this week.

Not much to say except I might pick up the DVD for 22, being an awesome season, and 27 has the worst cover ever, with one of the worst teams ever sticking out from a mile away and the best team of the season getting left off.
---

Who are you talking about? I don't follow TAR opinions as much.
---

I'm just speaking of my own opinion, TAR27 best team is Logan/Chris who got snubbed from the cover despite being in the F3, and worst team is Justin/Diana who are sticking out on the cover like no team has before.
---

I might be alone on this, but to me it's like...if the Healers want to survive and shake up the game...shouldn't they all make sure they vote together 100%? They haven't the last 2 Tribals when voting together actually could have potentially made a legitimate difference. Like, sure I get wanting to survive through the round, but if you do it like that, you're not "playing to turn the game around and wind up in a new majority", you're "playing to be the last person outside of the majority who gets voted out".

healers are a hot mess
---

Had to go back and rewatch 'cause my power went out for about 5 minutes right near the end.


---

Needless to say, I was wrong about always hating Ryan. If he keeps his mouth shut and just generally doesn't impact the episode (his idol reveal), then at least I don't have cause to outright HATE him. And meanwhile, Ben has become a tremendous, boring douchebag.
---

Ryan isn't that bad IMO. Both here & on the show.
