And he clapped his hands at him. wow. I mean, that is soooo fucking rude.
The person who says his name three times gets thier own pit thread.
I loved how he said in one of his side interviews, “my goal out here is to try not to be a dick”. Wow, talk about a massive fail.
Also does anyone else doubt that Ozzie’s fake idol made it through the fire?
I can’t imagine that a lot of these “ghosts” weren’t already snapped up when they auctioned props off after each of their seasons. I’m pretty sure all of them are actually replicas.
Any player who refers to himself as “a super-fan” is already a douche.
Halfway through the episode I wondered which law school Bradley was attending. Turns out its my alma mater UCLA Law, which just made me dislike him even more. Glad to see him go.
It seems to me that the “stacking blocks on the disc held by ropes” challenge isn’t actually that physically difficult, it’s just all about teamwork. Always seems that some teams have no trouble with the concept (the three people not walking actually hold it taut while the fourth person easily walks up and stacks the block) but some teams don’t ‘get it’ and have everyone hold the ropes equally throughout the challenge, forcing the person with the block to slowly walk and hold the rope at the same time. Purple tribe had no trouble, but the green tribe managed to come in second even though Wendell quite clearly needed to slowly edge his way back out, which really shows how bad orange was.
I pulled up a clip of McKinnon doing Sessions just to show my daughter, “See? Isn’t Donathan EXACTLY LIKE THIS?”
I wish they were a bit more inventive with the past cursed items than just making them normal hidden immunity idols. For example it would be interesting if the stick required you to fool someone into playing it. Say it counted as 2 votes against you if you tried to play it as an immunity idol.
FWIW, Dalton Ross says that one of the producers had pulled the stick out of the fire and that it’s beem on his desk since then.
Some people are unhappy with the way Jeff Probst is describing various idols and other artifacts as inhabiting Ghost Island and slowly gaining power over the years so that they’re now immunity idols. I find it pretty amusing myself. I love the show, but doesn’t pay to take it too seriously. A little Lord of the Rings nonsensical mysticism fits right in as far as I’m concerned.
I agree.
I roll my eyes at it, been when hasn’t Survivor been eye-rolling? We’re just used to “Fire represents life” by now.
And remember when Probst used to pretend (at first) that the reading of the votes at FTC was still on the island, with finalists mysteriously heavier and groomed, or (later) that he was taking the box of votes on a jet-ski, to a helicopter, etc. to bring them to the live finale?
Probst riding that jet-ski from Brazil to New York City was possibly the greatest moment ever on Survivor! Also, as I recall, he then rode the subway from the NYC docks to the TV studio. Perfect!
I thought it was Thailand he did that. I remember because it was my first Survivor season.
I wasn’t sure what season it was, so I googled it. It’s definitely Season 6, the Amazon. You can relive it on Youtube.
Unless he did it more than once, which I can’t swear to.
He’d walk in to the reunion show wearing the same outfit that he was wearing at the last tribal. It was like the contestants beat him home because they flew commercial and he worked his way across the Pacific as a crew member on a tramp steamer.
I used to look forward to that at the end of every season, it killed me! I’m so sorry he doesn’t do it anymore.
Me too, it was so cheesy, but I loved it. We recently rewatched season 1 and it almost has a PBS vibe, Jeff keeps talking about the show as a social experiment.
I know they won’t do it again, but every season, my wife and I yell, “Come on, Jeff! Come in on a jet ski! Or a helicopter! Come on!”
It’s part of the fun of the show.
