Jonathan was the rightful winner . Go suck Aubrey’s dick if you think otherwise.


He will never have another chance because he’s too big and will get ousted.

I don’t dislike her as much as others do here. But she was a terrible winner for the season. Jonathan murdered that final tribal. frick those voters for voting for her.


Show doesn’t even feel respectable


Last day of school:
12 year son and 8 year daughter were shocked he didn’t win. Not just me.

I didn’t mind the cast being returning players this season. I got sick of the all the sob stories of how everyone was counted out because they were this race or gay, etc.
having returning players virtually eliminated all of that woe is me nonsense.

I think it’s fun to change it up with fan favorites every so often and see them have another go at it. You get to see players like Jonathan, who excelled physically his original season, develop other aspects of their game they lacked in the first go around.

But it’s also a discredit to the game when people come in with preexisting relationships and then the jury vote devolves into who they like more not who played the best game. Last two seasons restored my hope that the best of the final three would win but this season threw that in the trash.

This is the problem... all returning players weren't on equal footing. Aubry and Cirie are friends outside the game, and she was getting that vote regardless... and Cirie undoubtedly had a lot of sway on the jury.

A returning player season with a bunch of people that we haven't seen yet a second time that didn't play together could be great. Or it could suck... but at least it's less likely to turn into strictly a popularity contest.

Of course Cirie had sway on the jury. They couldn’t make a decision all season without making sure Cirie was ok with it. Terrible season. Aubrey did nothing all season. Jonathon deserved the win. He sold it at final trible and they screwed him. Only reason to watch this season was to see what Devens and Christian would do. Other than that was boring as hell.

Straight from Johnathan.. post-finale interview

quote:

I knew that I couldn’t trust Miss Cirie. She told me that, “Oh, I got you if I make it to the end. I got you if I make it to the jury.” But that’s so not what happened. Miss Cirie basically rallied the troops when she got back to Ponderosa. Snd that’s part of the reason I think I lost. Do you think she just has the influence in the game like she did, where she’s got four people asking her, “Hey, how do we vote?” You don’t think they’re doing that at Ponderosa? And is by happenstance that the people that surrounded her and asked her, “Well, how do we vote?” are the same people that didn’t vote for me in the finale? I’m just curious. That’s at least that’s what I see. I know the game doesn’t end once you hit Ponderosa, because people talk about it all the time. It doesn’t stop till the finale is out. So that’s what I think happened.

It’s basically a popularity contest and they voted for the unworthy ugly bitch because they absolutely suck. In a nutshell.

Tiffany was very annoying. Wants to act big and bad but can’t do anything unless Cirie tells her to. You knew she was going to vote however Cirie told her to in final tribal. Can’t make her own decision.

I haven’t been able to stand Tiffany since her original season when she started the black alliance “for the culture”.

I don’t understand how they let someone so f’ing worthless hold sway over them like that. Such weak minded individuals

Hated it. I’ve always said, go back to original Survivor. No rewards, no twists, one idol. Early season(s) Survivor. 39 days again too.


I love this. But I'm not sure many younger folks want to watch this. They are so used to the reality shows with just drama and nothing else.

The "Dream Team" needs to get to work on a lot of different challenges as well. Aubrey won that spinning ball one because she ordered one and practiced it in her yard. Bring back the old memory, Jeopardy type challenge. Play some type of Capture the Flag. Let them bring a single luxury/personal item. I always thought that was interesting to see what they brought. Less idols, less rewards. Jeff makes a huge deal about earning it, but they earn too much.

They will never go back to 39 days. They are happy to have less expense. I was just happy they had a big finale show this year. I like seeing them all dressed up and back to civilization. I bet they don't keep it because it was an additional expense.

Agreed... it's all variations on the same stuff now. Obstacle course ending in a puzzle... sometimes on land sometimes in water. Or the same old endurance/balance challenges.

I'd love to see less twists, just one hidden immunity idol per tribe with no caveats or twists attached. No exile island with other advantages. I'm 50/50 on keeping the shot in the dark. I don't hate it but I wouldn't miss it either.

Agreed on both. They only did the big finale because it was 50. I'd bet they go back to the on-island reveal next season. And we'll propbably never see if get back to 39 days.

Literally during final tribal I told my wife that Aubrey is winning.

Too many women on the jury and gay boys that won't vote for a jacked white man.

Rick, Christian, and Rizzo aren't voting for Jonathan because he represents the opposite of what they are. Strong challenge beast who is 6'4 with abs. They would NEVER vote for him.

Cirie and Tiffany were never going to vote for a man, especially not a white man.

Dee I can kind of understand because Jonathan got her voted out so she's bitter.

Emily might be the most analytical savant in whatever field she's in outside of Survivor but she fricking sucks arse and Jonathan was never getter her vote.

Ozzy also was scorned by Jonathan. But Ozzy is a legit fricking retard so his vote should count as a negative.

I think the critique with Jonathan is you have to know your jury.

You are not winning Cirie/Tiffanys vote under any circumstance.

Aubrey is close with Devens/Christian so you likely aren't winning their vote.

He just ran out of votes and I firmly believe he should have voted out Aubrey at 5 but really she should have been gone way before then.

From the beginning, the goal should have been to knock out as many old players as possible. Like its shocking to me that Cirie lasted as long as she did

See that's the fricking issue. They are all friends outside of the game from previous seasons. They didn't vote for who was the best player they voted for a friend.


And I thought Stephanie trying to throw her underwear to Jonathan was also weird and she opened the flood gates for people to vouch for who they thought should win. That whole jury segment was weird and not how they did it before. You ask a question and you let them answer.

When did they ever jump in during their answer and change the subject like last night? That only happens if the person getting asked the question literally is lying

They should have gotten her our sooner. I can see going for Tiff at 5 because the three guys also knew they wouldn't beat her in a final jury either, and she's been better at challenges... but the one thing they couldn't have happen was Aubry winning at 4 (or Tiff if they had switched it) and that's what happened.

In the post-finale interviews the three guys all admitted that they knew as soon as Aubry won that immunity they were playing for second.

I think they read the jury pretty well and knew that they had no chance against either woman.

So yes, the biggest mistake was not getting Aubry out sooner, as well as anyone else on their 3rd, 4th, or 5th time playing. Pre-merge would have been best. So I'll give her credit for outlasting, if nothing else.
