re: Survior Season 35 Thread Heros vs Healers vs Hustlers

I really thought when Lauren gave Mike the shell that was half of her idol, that it was a decoy. I didn't think she'd be dumb enough to actually give away half the idol to someone she knows she can't trust and doesn't trust her. That was an all-time dumb move. She was right in her assumption that she had the numbers against Ben and she didn't need to use her advantage, but still, that was really dumb.

Ben is gone as soon as he loses a challenge, and he honestly hasn't looked very good in the challenges.

I think Ashley is going to end up winning now.

Mike has kind of emerged as someone having a good chance to win. He's not really on anyone's radar to vote out. If he can win an immunity, or orchestrate an eviction, to bolster his resume, he could sneak out a win.

I don't see why they'd even try to get rid of Ben at this eviction which would put you at 3 vs 3 at the next vote (even though dummy had an extra vote).

I wondered that too especially since he was the one orchestrating everyone voting for Ben at the end.

For what its worth Devon is only person left in the final 6 with a shot at a perfect game.

Ben wins immunity next week its going to be crazy again. Devon/ Ashley vs. Crissy/ Ryan; where does mike and Ben go. I think Ben leans Crissy/ Ryan but Mike leans Devon/ Ashley is my take. Mike has shown no willingness to work with Crissy and Ryan that I recall.

The one big mistake I think he made was cutting ties with Ryan so openly.

After they flipped, Ryan came up to him basically hat in hand and all he had to say was look I know you told Ben about the idol so I just trusted Ben for telling me more at the moment, but I do still think we could work together again, you just have to show me I can trust you again.

Ryan would have absolutely voted however Devon told him to going forward. But instead Devon was just like yeah man I’ve got my new group, we’re done.

Even if he planned on just using him as a number it still would have been better than openly saying they are basically enemies at that point.

Ryan didn’t really even betray him or anything. Yeah he told Ben about the idol even though he said he was only going to tell Devon. But that didn’t really hurt Devon. Just maybe needed to reevaluate them as a final 2, not just say frick off you’re going home.


If he had played that better, he would still have the possibility of bringing Ryan in for the next tribal even if it meant Ryan voting Krissy out because at that point Devon could have told him he protected him at all the earlier tribals, even though Ryan was never really on anyone’s radar. He wouldn’t have known that.

So long Ashley. I am loving the chaos at tribal council! Ben has become my favorite player. But he’s made some enemies along the way. Some are going to perceive him arrogant, which will hurt him if he makes the final 3. I think Chrissy needs to go next, but is anyone smart enough to get her out?

If someone is smart enough to get Mike and Ryan to go final 3 they should have a 9-0 win

and Chrissy right now has more allies.

I'd want to vote Chrissy out as soon as possible if I were there. She has a really good chance of winning if she makes it to the final tribal.

Why would Ben tell everyone before they vote that he has an idol? To me, if they all vote for him and then he plays the idol, then he essentially gets to decide who goes home.
