Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Hey Mike You're a big survivor fan. This is the first one I've see in at least 7 years. I notice the lack of older people. There was always 2-3 people in their 50's. I'm seeing better looking younger people. A lot of them don't seem all that bright. Other than that, it hasn't changed. It always bugged me that the most interesting and capable people got voted off right away. That hasn't changed either. The Asian girl and the tall guy with the weird eyes were the best to watch, so of course they left. Getting rid of the deaf woman had to happen, she played the 'deaf card' in every conversation. Enough already.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I wouldn't watch it otherwise. The reason there is not anybody over 60 this time is that the theme is collars, so everybody is supposed to still be working. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

You don't find most of the others equally annoying? The reason they got voted off was, the other team members realized they were superior to them, and had a good likelihood of winning. The best people always get voted off early, and some schlub who just hangs back and blends into the wallpaper ends up winning. Lets wait and see. It's why I stopped watching 7 years ago. The premise is majorly flawed if the best and brightest are always voted off early. Show you have a brain and have studied the show and you're a goner. Even if you try and hide it, they soon catch on to you. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | The strategy of voting off the strong players tends to happen later in the game. I know that flying under the radar is a common strategy that usually will take somebody far, but it does't get many votes by the jury in the end. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

miplet Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 8 Posts: 975 | I haven't watched a full season of Survivoir since Rupurt was on it. Mainly because I work and would never remember to watch it on-line or on on-demand. I have Wednessdays off now, so I've been watching it.

Ahhh, you mean like the no-collar's blonde's sheer bikini? Every scene she was in during the challenge. No photoshop here. |

The first two voted off this time were the most interesting to me. The tall guy said to the group as he was walking out, "good play". He was right, they got rid of the strongest player on their team and the week before they got rid of the second strongest. It's never the most deserving and qualified that win, they all get voted off. It's like being in the military and you constantly shoot your own officers so the privates and corporals can be in charge. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I was so pissed at Will when he was told again and again not to let that platform just drop, and he keeps doing it anyway until that poor woman gets gashed in the head. He's a useless idiot, get rid of him. I was so glad to see that arrogant bearded guy go. Was he the one soaking his feet in the communal water pot? What an ass. And he has every episode memorized, all the different strategies studied. All so he could get kicked out immediately. He must not have seen the part where arrogant jerks are never tolerated. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Ya, what was up with that? Let the platform down slowly. Lots of time while your teammates got the items. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |
