FTA-TV Survivor 48 - Feb 27

[GhostofJimJess]

Great season, with a nice sprinkle of humour that hasn't been evident in past seasons. I don't think they can plan that though - can just happen organically with the right mix of contestants.

Shauhin doing the ancient voices from the bench during the immunity challenge was gold

Shame that Kyle had to show his hand a bit to try and save Kamilla.

 

[Jugada]

Showed his hand more than a bit I think. There was little reason for him to push back at all and he fought David so hard that it’s got to looks very suspicious

 

[Hamingja]

Would it be too cynical to suggest they cast green as a disaster tribe deliberately to give Eva and Mitch a chance to bed in on their tribes.

Very suss they put down name tags for where everyone was supposed to sit on the reward and the advantage just happens to be in Eva's bowl.

Were there actually name tags? That’s really off

I gathered that the advantage went to her because she won the challenge? Didn’t the note say “because of your efforts in the challenge…”

I presumed that related to all of them as they were all there because of their efforts in the challenge

 

[Jugada]

Immunity, reward and a hidden advantage is way too overpowered for a challenge win imo

That's almost the MOAB of leverages.

 

[Ry009]

When it looks like Joe and Eva will likely make it close to the end because they won't get targeted, so getting an extra leg up is a bit off. Seems production want to ride the Joe/Eva relationship all the way to the end of the season.

Same with the Australian season too, but getting really tired of hearing contestants whinging about loyalty/integrity, especially when they're being hypocrites too.

 

[Amazing Racer]

I am over advantages (that was clearly there in front of Eva for her to find it) and journeys.............bring back old fashioned idols and keep the game simple.

Yeah he did, but funny enough I think it’s put the spotlight on David though. I think David is getting a bit overbearing.

Edit looked that way but I tend to think that’s all it is. Pretty much everything against David revolved around Kyle and Kamilla

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Like the previous episode, lot of build up for an underwhelming outcome. Chrissy dug her own grave, but she was right, everyone is just letting the strong people cruise to the end.

I was cringing a bit at how transparently Kyle was arguing against voting Kamilla, he has to be smarter than that. But I'm glad it came to this, because the strong people alliance has to blow up for this season to be more interesting. David vs Kyle is clearly the way it blows up.

Not a whole lot the others can do right now when the strong alliance has 5 of 10.

If anything Chrissy was the one who could have done something last week and pulled Mitch, Star and Sai in to make a move against Joe at the small tribal. No point complaining about no one doing anything now when you didnt do anything a day ago when you had the chance

This is basically what I was saying last week with Eva and you were arguing against it.

 

[Jugada]

This is basically what I was saying last week with Eva and you were arguing against it.

You were arguing that Eva specific was a huge threat that needs to be taken out. I’m saying that if Chrissy specifically is going to say people are dumb not to be voting anyone is the strong alliance then she should have been using Mitch and Sai a day earlier to do that exact thing and vote Joe when she had the chance. Waiting until you are the target and then complaining is dumb

To be honest she made plenty of other mistakes in that time frame anyway to contribute to her going home

Joe, Eva, they're allied, they're the same level of threat. It makes no sense to differentiate the two as a move against one is a move against both.

 

[Jugada]

They were different arguments for me anyway

 

[Hamingja]

Dumb move by Joe and Eva. They should have been riding the David train to the end. Easy win sitting against him.

The lacklustre goodbye from David after he got snuffed was great.

He went from likeable knock about edit to arrogant pain in the arse edit

 

[MarcMaverick]

So his edit got a heel-turn.

 

[Gasometer]

So his edit got a heel-turn.

It’s poles apart. He is he an arse or has fatigue worn him down or has the edit distorted him? His backstory was sad and he really needed to win this, but he appears to have self destructed.

 

[Jugada]

It’s all the edit imo. David was actually pretty spot on about everything and had valid reason to be paranoid about Kyle and Kamilla

 

[Warsaw]

Had the right read on Kyle and Kamilla but the wrong one on Shauhin and Kamila which kickstarted this whole thing.

Wanted control of the game sooner than he needed to and didn't have the social nous to make a compelling case.

Which is a shame because he was a good antidote to the type of players we get now.
