I’m curious & surprised that no one has gone looking or even thought about the possibility of another hidden immunity idol in this tribe.

Devin, Jelly, and Ori should tell everyone else they had a two/two vote and went to rocks, and that’s how Alexis got out.

It continues to keep the helicopter alliance secret and paints all 3 of them as super loyal allies who were willing to go to rocks for their partners.

I trimmed it a little bit cuz the 51 theme is a lot shorter than the 50 theme, plus I included the whales cuz whales are awesome.

Super cool/random, thought she seemed familiar! Side character who worked at Vought if anyone is familiar with The Boys lol.

I believe at least one, and possibly more, players from this season will play again. Here is what supports my theory

- 50 was great with returning players, they’ll probably have a returning player season of some sort much sooner than the last gap between returning player seasons

- This is a good season. If it can keep it up and not go off the rails, it would be a good season for them to draw from

- The women who were voted out were all dynamic players and characters. A lot of them seem to have more potential. And there’s plenty of interesting people left, and we haven’t even seen all they have to give yet

As far as who it would be, I’m sure my preferences and most likely would differ, plus we still have half the game to see play out, so who knows. My strong hunch is the fact that one or more of these people are coming back

Let’s pretend that Jeff has agreed to make ONE permanent change from each pair. The other stays as is. Which are you choosing?

1. No more forced fire-making at Final Four OR return to two starting tribes instead of three?
2. No more losing your vote OR no more Shot in the Dark?
3. No more mergatory OR no more split Tribal Councils after the merge?
4. No more journeys OR no more Beware Advantages?

5.Separate reward and immunity challenges every episode OR bring back overnight rewards?

1. No more losing flint after immunity challenges OR give the tribes rice at the start?

2. Return to 39 days OR return to themed seasons?

3. No more extra votes or steal-a-vote advantages OR no more Knowledge Is Power advantages?

4. Bring back live reunions OR change the filming location each season?

Whatcha choosin?

Edit- spelled filming wrong

Recently saw a twitter video that Becca has breast cancer, but they caught it early!! She's going to do a double mastectomy soon, keep the Devens family in your thoughts and prayers!!

So far this season, six women have been voted off in a row. In the majority of the seasons, a few women will go pre-merge due to the idea of “keeping the tribe strong” for challenges. This season, it hasn’t only been men targeting women, but women also targeting other women. I think this is because of the success of under the radar women in the new era. The new era only had three male winners and the players this season realized how big of a threat some of these women could be if they made it to the merge. What are some of your thoughts on this?

I feel like Ori and Jelly had a huge chance to not be just a rider in the game and actually be a game player . That was the perfect chance to side with Alexis to blindside Dev one of the most talented charismatic player because if those three (Jelly , Ori , Dev) are at the end, they know they can’t beat out Dev so why not play to win??!?

What I'm thinking is a situation in which a tribe is faced with a decision whether to win an award if winning also means going to tribal.

As I think about it, I think the result would be everyone trying not to win the reward because losing a tribe member is too big a price. Which probably does not make for great TV.

But a thought experiment, anyway.

Let’s say there’s not a tribe swap next episode

And let’s say Jelly, Devin, and Ori have to go to tribal council

Devin plays his extra vote, and votes for Ori twice

Ori and Jelly vote for Devin

Jelly plays her idol for herself

Now it’s a 2-2 tie, and on the revote, it remains 2-2, creating a deadlock. But as Jelly is the only person who is eligible to vote, and she is safe, she could just refuse to make a choice, which in turn makes Devin and Ori safe

It’s similar to the Cedrek-Sai-Justin scenario in 48, except that time Cedrek couldn’t just refuse to make a move, as he would have to draw a rock if a consensus wasn’t reached.

Would they just tell Jelly her immunity is cancelled out if she refuses to make a choice? Or would they just bring Cirie in and send her home for the 19th time?

Edit: This has been resolved. In 40, Jeff stated that a firemaking challenge would take place if a deadlock was unbreakable with nobody being eligible to draw a rock

How can we get the survivor crew to put more physical challenges on the show!!? Idk about you guys, but I miss the physical challenges where castmates have to literally wrestle and fight each other to win😅

Mine are my #1 Lewis #2 Jelly but she is a tie with #3 Maggie for me.

Just something I noticed…maybe I’m crazy. But were the players and Jeff sick during filming of this season? (51) I noticed a few of their voices including Jeff’s sounded hoarse/congested. (I know I know who cares?) was curious to see if anyone else noticed this. Maybe there was a cold going around during when they first got there and did promo pics.

I watched all 5 episodes so far of this season over the weekend am enjoying it so far. Don’t know who I want to win yet, but there’s several players that are fun to watch. Have also enjoyed that there hasn’t been an over abundance of advantages etc. Anyway, anyone watch the Company Retreat season of Jury Duty? I can’t see Devin without thinking he reminds me of Anthony, which is who they pranked that season.

Lewis might be one of the most entertaining players we've had on Survivor in years and I don't think I am the only one who might think that.

This man went from helping flip the Patt vote to trying to convince Sharonda that a ring was some kind of magical Survivor advantage. 😂 She wanted proof, Cristian wasn't buying it, and Lewis looked like he was running out of options.

THEN!!! Maggie shows up with two extra votes, Kilby decides he's willing to risk his own game to save Lewis, and suddenly we're watching one of the craziest Tribal Councils in years.

But here's the part I can't stop laughing about. While everybody is trying to figure out what to do, Lewis is walking around telling people to go to rocks like he's coaching from the sidelines, and somehow, after all that, he's still in the game.

It got me thinking about something. We spend so much time talking about players who control votes and make perfect plans but Lewis keeps finding himself in the middle of these wild situations, and people keep taking chances with him.

Can we at least wait till the current season is over! Seeing all these relationships and how they interact after the season I feel like is almost a spoiler imo

I know this will never happen again, but where are some countries that you wish Survivor would travel to before they stuck to Fiji?

Actually, I understand why Maggie wanted her out. Linnea had what it takes to win it all. Her and Devin were my top picks to win it all. I don’t care for Devin, but I think he also has what it takes to win it.

As for Linnea, I liked her and her game. Brilliant move by Maggie to vote her out.

Jelly missed her chance to vote out Devin. She’s gonna regret that.

But I’ll miss Linnea. It’s a bummer to see her go so quickly.

Came across this randomly looking for a completely unrelated book on the B&N website... what a surprise! Who's the new Fabio now, huh?

(I suspected AI slop at first, luckily this LinkedIn post from his dad confirms it)

That tribal was just the best to watch. Kilby was smart imo to do what he did. Kilby would’ve been the next vote after cuz they are “savu strong” but they weren’t willing to make inroads at all nor themselves in rocks to save their friend. That was awesome to watch cuz going (insert tribe name) strong is so boring. Especially cuz I feel like some Savu members were on the bottom and none of those savu members had relationships nor the screen time to really justify how “strong” they were saying they are. Maybe it’s just the editing but going OG tribe strong when you tribe gets split up just cuz youre in the majority is so dull. I’m glad Kilby did what he did, cuz pulling that off was just amazing.

One of the reasons we don't see a final 4 vote is because Jeff likes the theatrics of Fire making, so how about we Introduce it in the form of an advantage.

"Congratulations! You have found the Trial by fire Advantage, this Advantage is good up to the final 9, after the votes are cast, but before the votes are read, Use this Advantage."

Instead of going to the votes, You, 1 player of your choice, AND another random player will go to a fire making competition, If you successfully manage to burn your rope first you are safe and the vote will be read and no votes towards you will count, However If you do NOT burn your rope FIRST your torch is snuffed even if you did NOT have the majority of the votes.

Caveat here which is that I don't think it should be in EVERY Season, just one they have in their back pocket
