Survivor 11/24 spoilers

[Jalapeñomel]

I didn't see a thread. Anyone want to discuss?

[Jalapeñomel]

So what a crazy tribal! And wtf to using the immunity idol on Ken; all that talk just got to him (I wonder how long they were at tribal council?)

[11d]

I am no longer a fan of Sundae for lying about Ken. I'm so glad Hannah was saved! And I can't wait for Jay to be knocked out. I was about to love on Zeke and Brett but after their assholey comments about David last night, they can both go any ol' time now.

I loved how David threw himself out of the challenge but that everyone else supported him to stay.

[leeluu]

How STUPID of Hannah to basically show all of her cards to Brett- that she joined the other side. She put a huge target on her back. And giving the idol to Len because they overheard the name at tribal - again such a dumb mistake.

I hate when the players get all cocky, which is totally what has happened to Zeke. I liked him until the last episode. 

[jinkies]

It was a really good episode. I felt so bad for Jessica-- she could have saved herself by flipping, but didnt have time to think it through and ended up the victim of rocks. She was playing a strong game and was a consistent threat for individual immunity, plus had the legacy advantage. She had the potential to go far.

Mostly though, I think they are getting ahead of themselves with voting out alliance members. Jay and Will (or even Adam) would have been easy votes. Jay and Adam both still have idols and Jay is a real threat to keep winning immunity. If he can somehow skate through to the end, he'd have a lot of friends on the jury.

I'm not crazy about any of the player this season. I was surprised that they drew rocks though, I was sure Jessica would flip.

Hannah is the worst liar in Survivor history. Or the worst at thinking on her feet. All she had to do was tell Zeke what he wanted to hear, that David was the biggest threat, but instead she had to THINK about it. What an idiot.

[stephm0188]

They're stupid to want to keep Zeke around. He's playing a great game and is a threat in challenges, especially puzzles.

There really doesn't seem to be a great goat like there are in past seasons, but Hannah is pretty darn close. I'd want to sit next to her at the end.

I'd love to see David make it, but IDK if that'll happen. They'll target David and Ken soon.

[zitiqueen]

Sunday is going to have a target on her back too, after saying they were voting for Ken at TC.

I have a feeling she is on the next season, since she went out on rocks.

Did they announce what the next season is going to be?

I really did love blood vs water.  It brings such an awesome new element to the game.  I'd love to see that be the next season again.

I just heard the rumor that they filmed these two seasons back-to-back, and that they have some players that are in back-to-back seasons.

Yea, they're definitely gunning for David now. You could tell just by how that tribal went that this was going to happen. Zeke has got to go. For me, Hannah and Adam have to go after what they did to David. They tricked him into throwing down his idol and now he's going to be vulnerable. I really am surprised (and excited) that David has made it this far. He's a friend of mine and watching him every week now I'm thinking he could actually win this whole thing. Btw, this is my first time ever watching this show, but I can see why it's so addictive. It's been fun to watch.

[jinkies]

There are 2 people playing for the 4th time in that cast-- I like both, but thats crazy!

[Jalapeñomel]

Looks like I was wrong!

Damn, that is a good cast! I too clicked on the question mark--I was pretty convinced it was one person, and it ended up being another! 

I love this show to the ends of the earth. I have seen every single episode of every single season. I don't have the Survivor Superfan memory, but I love the game as it's playing out. These blindsides this season seem crazier to me than in past seasons, and OMG, going to rocks? DAMN. 

I was super sad that Michaela got voted out. I really loved her game-play. 

I was stoked for David when the group wanted him to play--that was epic for him, and potentially life-changing when he gets home. That's what this game is to me--a life-changing experience, and it's so interesting to watch as it's unfolding. 

There's this cool thing I watched/read on Reality Blurred re: Survivor--it's old, but interesting inside information.

Anybody watching Ponderosa (the mini-episodes when the jury members get kicked off)? I watched it last season (binge-watched it when there were probably 4 contestants left in). I plan to do that again this season. I like to see who's bitter, who "gets" it, what they are talking about, what relationships are fixed, etc.

I loved Michaela too.  I read in an interview with her afterwards that she purposely slept in her car for a while to prepare for the conditions of the game.  She was a hard core player who you could tell wanted it so badly.  Many of the players don't seem to be as dedicated as she was.  The all-in attitude, though, lead to her demise, in my opinion.  Being aggressive and very smart doesn't often bode well for the players.

I LOVE the ponderosas!  One critique I have of the show is that I don't think it develops the characters enough.  I want to know about their lives!  Too much of the show is spent on the challenges.  Ponderosa gives you a real look into their lives.  Jess, for instance, was likable in the game, but was kind of obnoxious in Ponderosa with saying how flat her stomach was and how she is a big lawyer.  Oh please.

Totally. It seems more recent, too. I've watched every season and I loved how they used to spend so much time filming at camp. Now it's just challenge after challenge.

Definitely seems more recent.  I agree.  I feel like they used to spend a lot more time talking about actually SURVIVING in the elements.  No food, freezing cold at night, wet, etc.  Now there is practically none of that.   They should have two hour shows.  I'd love that.

Did you see the cast for the next season linked above?  I'm pumped!  I adore Malcom and I think Aubry is one hell of an awesome player.  The small gardener with the chicken from last season is fantastic too.

If I were Adam, I would have used his steal an advantage during the reward challenge. Keeping the advantage puts a target on his back. He could have easily taken the helicopter reward from David, who won by default. Nobody would have blamed him for that.

Overall I'm loving this season. I hope Ken wins.

YES. I said to DH that he lost his only "out" for actually using the advantage without getting anyone pissed at him. SURELY he won't use it for the family visit. SURELY.

I'm liking this season too.

SPOILERS, PEOPLE! Not everybody read the link or clicked on whatever listed the contestants for the next season!

Definitely lost his only out for using it.  I can not imagine him using it for the family visits.  That is just an amazingly easy vote then to get him out.  He has a lot riding on the game considering he wants to win for his mother who has cancer.    It's also a really low blow.

My only hope is that he is trying to keep it for as late as he can when sometimes an advantage in an immunity challenge is offered.

Still.  I can't believe he didn't take the win from David.

Didn't he say that he would save it to steal the family visit reward if he didn't win it himself?

[zitiqueen]

I wonder how Ken will get the legacy advantage too. I'm hoping somebody will just slip it into his bag for him to find. Giving it to him in front of everybody would be so stupid.
