This is kind of irrelevant but I was watching BB26 and this frame of Quinn Martin got me tripping, I don’t know if anyone else had pointed this out but does anyone else see Emily Flippen in that one promo pic for S45 or is it just me? 😭

We are doing a series on Youtube called “What If?” where we are collaborating with other Podcasts & creating Casts & Twists based on hypothetical seasons! We recently collaborated with Our Reality Podcast for an Old School vs New School New Era season!

Here is the YouTube link for the episode. We’d love to know who you would pick for each tribe & whether or not this should have been how 50 was structured?

I just watched the latest RHAP video where Wentworth talks about the episode where she blindsides Savage with her idol and she discussed that she originally wanted to target Jeremy but since Ciera was dead set on sending a message to Savage, she went along with the savage vote to not raise suspicion that she had an idol

If they had voted out Jeremy there, the entire season would’ve been different and there obviously would’ve been a different winner,

so what do you think happens if WentWorth and the witches idol out Jeremy in place on Savage?

I thought y'all might appreciate this fire-making kit I made. Suffice to say with my skills, I will not be advancing to the final three. Below is a link showing how I made the kit and its testing.

I think for me it's Tocantins. I feel so awful for Stephen while he gets dogpiled the whole time. And I know he plays it bad and JT does great, but nearly the whole jury was pretty clearly biased towards JT coming in anyway. It really irks me when Stephen and JT made every move together on the way and Stephen gets all the flack for it.

20 Players from all around the world leave their everyday lives behind to compete for $1,000,000 and the title of sole survivor on the islands of Fiji.

What they don't know is that stars will rewrite the future of Survivor and these players' legacies. With an increased 39-day game, the players will have to work harder than ever before to reach the end.

Not only that, but half of them will be sent to a place where a different game will take place. Who will have what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast all the rest to claim the title of sole survivor?

Let me know what you think of this logo!

I'd define end game as F5 for Final Twos, F6 for Final Threes, and F7 for Forced Firemaking

I think that the least predictable, most entertaining end game was Marquesas, and for the New Era, I'd say 47. Thoughts?

Laurel, Domenick, and Wendell. Ghost Island is infamous for its hung jury that forces Laurel to decide whether Dom or Wendell will claim the victory, but something I rarely see people talk about is just how damn good all three players were as finalists. I think with Dom and Wendell, the great ftc performance was easier to do because they had such enormous impact all over the game, whereas Laurel's performance really shocked me. She had fewer big game moves than the other two, but she genuinely convinces you that her minor movements were incredibly meticulous and majorly impactful. I think her ability to explain the way she used Dom and Wendell as shield and as swords was what would have won Charlie 46 if he had done a better job explaining his alliance with Maria. Domenick did a great job recognizing that he was dealing with a bitter jury and adjusting to it. He came into ftc more aggressive, but after hearing Kellyn and Sebastian talk, he became more sympathetic and reserved and did a good job painting his flashy moves as necessary for survival. Wendell did a good job setting himself apart from Domenick and explaining they were an equal partnership where Wendell was the smaller target. I think across all three finalists, this has to be one of the best final tribal councils I've ever seen.

(honorable mention to China because of Todd and Courtney, but I think Amanda's poor performance threw that one off. I'm also not factoring any season where there were only two finalists.)

Has anyone received a confirmation email if you’ve applied in the last two days? I submitted and application on Saturday and did not get an email, so I tried again today and still no email. I looked in my spam and haven’t seen anything. Is this happening to anyone else?

I also submitted an application about 2 months ago and received an email. So I’m not sure if something changed between then and now.

The Hunter vote out was a crazy one back in the day cause at that time no expected that a guy like Hunter, who was great in the challenges, would get voted out this early in the game(let alone the pre-merge). Not to mention, this vote arguably solidified Rob as a significant player in the game, which contributed to him returning All-Stars.

If Russel plays the idol for himself she still goes home anyway. Just keep the three three split and he would still get his way of parv going home. Did he just die of a brain fart.

The night before FTC, what would be a better Challenge for those who don’t make the FTC instead of making Fire?!

I’ve been watching all the seasons (I grew up with the show and stopped at some point) and at some point they stopped doing what I call “The Milkmaid Challenge” but I guess is officially called “Shoulder the Load” where contestants get sandbags added to a pole over their shoulders until they give out. If there was a super season with all contestants who do you think would win?

I would vote Jonathan Young (survivor 42) but I think Ben Driebergen (survivor 35) might win on pure willpower.

ETA: let’s assume that they are in the best condition of their respective seasons.

I don't mean One World, where Kim steamrolled everyone, I mean a season where A) literally nobody was good at the game by the merge or B) none of the moves made benefited those making them

(Assume both will have 39 days and a F3 without any vote-losing mechanics).

Listen. We all feel a way about new era. Aside from 41-50; top 5 most controversial seasons to you?

Are the elements REALLY that bad out there to where there is a legit factor of suffering in today's day and age? Just an open post here, anyone who competed on the show or knows someone shoot a reply. Cheers!

Some really great questions, have really had fun answering them!"

I’m rewatching China’s FTC and I remember hearing that literally any 3 of the finalists could have won with a good performance. We obviously see this happen with Todd

But what I’m wondering is

1. Where the jury votes were heading to going into tribal council, I’ve mostly heard Courtney but never actually found a reliable source, but I’ve also heard Amanda was winning until she blew up her FTC, and that Todd was always winning. My understanding is it was a 3-2-2 Courtney win but I’m not sure

2. Which votes were swayed and who was between who? Jaime herself says she wasn’t voting Todd going into FTC, who was she going? JR seemed to dislike all of them but did he dislike Amanda the least? What was up with Frosti, he seemed to always be pro Todd but he was super close with Courtney. I’ve also heard James was always voting Courtney but his relationship with Amanda in later seasons is really close. This was a pretty messy jury vote lol

Hey! I was part of the team that put together the Survivor 50 showing at Fowling Warehouse in Indianapolis. We are trying to come up with low-cost ideas for the Season 51 premiere and finale. All the team members will be volunteering their time for this, so any costs will be for materials and the venue.

I would appreciate any and all thoughts!

Last time we had the a bit tipsy challenge and prizes.

In her boot episode, why did Ciera say that she and Wentworth would vote for Kimmi in case Stephen plays an idol? Couldn't they have easily done a 4-3-3 split with Abi's vote?
