It was odd to me that they did the last tribe switch-up for one eviction round. Not that I'm complaining about the merge. Something about Savage annoys me. I can't pinpoint it but there's something there. I felt like Kass was making a bad move by going to Tasha's alliance and telling them what she had said about the Bayon tribe being no more. And it blew up in her face! Sad to see Kass go. I actually enjoy her when she's not playing the Chaos Kass thing too hard. |

if it wouldn't have been for the evacuation things would have played differently. |

Yeah. I didn't know Probst and Savage were good friends... And I do LIKE about the game that there's 'flexibility' in the tribes and when they merge and stuff, but... This one did feel really odd, and 'producer manipulation to protect SOMEBODY' seemed the likeliest answer.. Two tribes - two evictions (same losing tribe) Three tribes - three evictions and Terry's evac Two tribes - one eviction One tribe, jury started... |

That was awesome! He probably thought he was going to run the game until the end. But how did they not put up the #BLINDSIDE in the corner of the screen like they do for every other blindside? Was Probst looking out for his buddy again? |

There's been a number of times when they put #BLINDSIDE up when it didn't feel like much of a blindside. If there was ever a time for #BLINDSIDE, this was it, lol! |

Excellent use of an immunity idol (also, did she keep it secret from even her closest allies? I think so, and that's rare...). Maybe they didn't hashtag the BLINDSIDE since it wasn't a majority vote... Fun. |

Best tribal in quite a long time, that was fun. I liked Savage and would rather have seen Fishbach go just because he bugs me but for future game this was the better move. Loved the reactions! I too was looking for the #BLINDSIDE in the corner lol. Curious to see if this shakes things up going forward or it goes back to status quo. The scramble for the idol next week looks like fun. |

What smacked me in the face is that the editors are HIGHLY manipulating what we see, to the point it's almost heavy handed. For example, LAST episode it was very clearly developed that, "It's always a good idea to split the votes..." (said by Jeremy, who I expect to win) and yet THIS week, there's no talk of splitting the vote at all and they don't. Which I just cannot believe. So I think somehow Jeremy KNEW this was going down, and was okay losing Savage, probably because losing Savage tightens HIS bond with his meat shield Joe. Also, I am certain Abi is still a pain in the ass around camp and she's being toned down a lot. I suspect it's because someone carries her to the FTC and TPTB want her to look at least a little bit possible as a winner to keep a bit of suspense. Also, I dislike Ciera. A lot. geez what a prima donna bitch. |

The shifting alliances are making the Tribals more exciting than usual... Wow, Joe winning three Immunities in a row... Jeremy finding a second Hidden is cool, too... It'll be fun to see Stephen play his advantage... |

That one was anti-climatic after last week, especially because Wigglesworth hadn't made an impression on me one way or another. I do like Jeremy but I find myself rooting for a good blindside when 1 player is carrying 2 Idols. Hopefully, when Fishbach plays his special advantage it will be worth the wait. |

All that rain looked so miserable. Is it wrong that I kind of enjoy seeing them suffer? lol. Joe just keeps increasing the size of the target on him, I really like him but he's gonna have to lose sooner or later and when that happens he will be gone. I do admire his competitive spirit though. A true blindside of Jeremy with both idols would be awesome but I dont see it happening. I think by finding that 2nd idol he sealed his trip to the end (and quite possibly like KMI said above, the win). I did find it funny the blindside hashtag returned to the screen this week. Fishbach still annoys me. The coven are exactly that, all 3 are obnoxious. Sad to see Wigglesworth go. I was rooting for her just for being a season 1 player and her coming back all this time later and going far would have been cool but her game was not great. |

It surprised me that so many of them revealed a white rock. I expected it to go the other way. Perhaps coming off of a miserable day or two of rain made an impact. I wouldn't say it was a million dollar shelter, though, because I don't think most of them would have beaten Joe in the challenge. I wish I had Joe's will and determination to press past the pain. Maybe he just has a high threshold for pain? Listening to the others talk about how difficult it can be out there makes me all the more impressed with Joe. "Going on a cruise is fun" made me chuckle. A little sad to see Ciera go. I know she can be annoying but I find her antics entertaining, for the most part. Buh-bye, Fishbach! I thought Joe was outta there when Fishbach canceled his vote. It's not that dislike Fishbach, I'm just enjoying watching Jeremy's alliance dwindle. The editors went back to showing us how neurotic Abi can be. Edited by bilki, Nov 27 2015, 01:14 AM.

Yeah Fish's waste of his special advantage ranks up there in the top ten stupid survivor moves of all time. Especially when he was so keen on getting rid of Joe. I think Jeremy's dwindling alliance isn't really dwindling. This is Jeremy's original "Bayon Strong alliance: Jeremy-Tasha-Kimmi-Keith-Joe. Kimmi has been with Jeremy for ALL THREE tribe switches, and she's been hidden as an alliance member. Not always in the loop, but in Jeremy's core - the one i his mind, not the one he talks about. I'm getting F3 vibes for her. Every time she talks about the game it's about 'getting to the end' not winning. Keith has also been with Jeremy TWO of the three switches. Tasha has been rock solid with Jeremy, even her 'you get one time' confirms she's with him. meanwhile, Jeremy has that side deal with Spencer. I think one reason Spencer wanted Fish gone was so that he could cement a spot with Jeremy I predict some combo of Joe-Abi-Kelley goes next. >>>>>The editors went back to showing us how neurotic Abi can be. Which is why I think she's next. It would be cool to see Kelley go home with an idol in her pocket - her whole story is about her idols. If she had any other content I'd be seeing F3 in her game but she never talks about winning, only getting further, making up for her gameplay with her dad last time. I'm expecting a Jeremy-Spencer-Tasha-Kimmi endgame. |

Stephen splitting his own votes was really dumb, but he still wouldn't have had enough to boot Joe (and save himself). Kimmi is the last 'long ago' player still standing with recent-game people.. |

It would have been fun to see Tasha get the boot but I was fine with Abi finally being sent to the jury. I can't believe they put up with her for that long. They've all played a decent game, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm rooting for Kelly or Spencer to get the prize. I think they've both had to work a little harder with not being in a strong alliance. I think Kelly has done very well for herself, especially considering she was working with Abi and big mouth Ciera for a good chunk of the game. |

I lol'ed at the faces of the jurors when they saw who was being sent to Ponderosa. :P I'm a bit perplexed about the finale. They've never had six left at this point. I hope it doesn't feel rushed. It's been one of the better seasons and to end poorly would be a shame. I'm following the crowd and predicting the 'first time ever' event is Kelley and Jeremy both playing their idols but no one else has votes. :D I still think Jeremy wins. One of the themes all season has been "old school vs new school." The editors have been pretty even handed about each strategy, imo, but when the chips are down, given Jeffster's particular biases, I am betting old school Jeremy wins, thus validating all of Survivor history. If Spencer had won, I believe the edit would have been skewed more to favor the new-skool players when you look back in retrospect, but in fact if anything they've been (individually) spanked in the edit. (imo) I don't see Kelley as having a shot, editorially speaking. Her late game success is classic distraction from the winner, the challenge to defeat which justifies the winner. Jeremy and Spence are neck-and-neck in most folks' analyses, and Spence remains very edgically logical as a winner. We have almost never had two such strong winner candidates based on the edit this late in the game. I just believe that Spencer's edit is more about him personally growing and changing as a PERSON rather than as a winner, and personal growth arcs never win ---- in old school survivor edits. da dummmmmmmm. |

Six left pre-finale is weird. On the other hand, there's often a lot of final two/three padding I can always do without... Think you're right on the 'first time ever'... |

i was thrilled to see Abi go finally. I'm also worried about a rushed finale with 6 still left. I am looking forward to that first time ever scenario, I said it to my hubby last night while we were watching. I wonder what happens then...re-vote? This has been a really good season and I will be happy with any winner except maybe Kimmi, which I dont see happening anyway. I would slightly prefer Spencer over Jeremy just because I was a Spencer fan in his first season but both are deserving. |

It must be the next tribal... yeah, a re-vote... we'll have somebody with immunity, and two with idols getting all the votes... so six will have a pool of three to choose from, and no time to talk out a new plan... should be great fun. |

Congrats, Jeremy! I got tired of his sob story. That tribal was crazy! Kelley and Jeremy both playing their idol wasn't a big surprise but the way they had to talk it out at the end was intense. The final tribal was pretty tame. I thought Cass or Abi might try to do or say something crazy but they were relatively low key. Kelly Wigglesworth made me laugh out loud. Kelley Wentworth was my favorite. I loved how she played this season. This was one of the best seasons since I've started watching. Edited by bilki, Dec 17 2015, 01:00 AM.

Satisfying finale. Jeremy deserved the win though his sob story did grate on my nerves after awhile too. That crazy tribal was awesome! Pretty great season! Best in recent memory for sure. |

Haven't seen many post-show interviews and reviews but it's really interesting... -Tasha and Spence did have a pregame alliance, but so did many others. The players were steered by production during confessional comments to talk about 'voting blocks' instead. (This is how Survivor is like Big Brother, to its detriment, since BB can more honestly show these twists and turns in relationships and background info.) -At least 2-3 people changed their vote AT TRIBAL after learning Jeremy had a baby on the way, according to a Steven tweet. -Spencer was right that Kelley Wentworth could have beaten Jeremy. At least 5 jurors post jury said they would have voted for her: Kass-Abi-Ciera-Joe-Keith. (I keep forgetting that Jeremy, Keith, and Kelley were on San Juan Del Sur together....) -Kimmi: "...You could’ve put anyone next to Tasha and Spencer and they would’ve won. You could put Abi out there and it would’ve been a tough call." :wow: -In her exit interview, Abi said she wanted Spencer to die in a fire, especially after highlighting his pre-game pact with Tasha. :D -Wiggles: My winning number was whatever Jeremy picked. :tongue: -Jeremy was NEVER taking Kelley (when Spence had his 'I'll make sure you lose' meltdown.) Jeremy KNEW Kelley had lots of votes on the jury. Spence should have kept calm, but his outburst gave away a dirty editing secret they HAD to finally show: He was rather disliked all game, and no one bought that he had become more about relationships. He was the only one (with the editors) pushing that storyline. Instead, people felt like Kass - he wasn't sincere and was a gamebot pretending to care about people. Which meant that to hide the big blowout at FTC, the editors had to fake Spencer's growth story, which has a lot of edgic analyzers pissed. I'm okay with it, since I had Jeremy as my solid pick since E4. :P But it really is a new game if the editors are not just manipulating the story, but making one up out of whole cloth about a player. http://robhasawebsite.com/survivor-cambodia-exit-interviews-with-the-winner-players-from-the-final-6-121715/ Fun.

Yeah, I was suspicious of 'voting blocks'... At first, it was easy enough to understand what they meant by it... Like, not a strong alliance, one easily breakable, they were putting a new term on 'shifting alliances'... But the MORE we heard people say 'voting blocks', 'it's been hard adjusting to the Voting Blocks structure of playing', blah blah voting blocks, the more it felt like the show was trying to push that something New and Exciting was happening, when... It wasn't really all THAT different or Never Been Done Before. Alliances were looser. People flipped on their allies a bit more, and the tribal lines changed more often... But the game wasn't reinvented or anything. Spencer was smart to answer Wiggles' number question with 4 after J and T said 2 and 3... But I love that it didn't matter... Spencer's growth story seemed WAY insincere. I mean, I don't hold his gameplay against him (he did get far), but when he's crying about saying 'I love you' to his girlfriend for the first time, I'm much more that's-really-sad-if-true-but-I-don't-believe-that-it-is, not attaboy-he's-growing-up... Spencer's choose-me-not-Kelley threat to Jeremy would have been fine if it had JUST been to Jeremy, but it was a dumb move with all of the jury watching... And then to say it over and over and over.... I don't understand baby-on-the-way making Jeremy the winner... They all already knew he was expecting, just not that it was a son... It's NOT a 'sob story', it's, you know, Really Good News... |

He admits that in the Cestercino interview.... I'll check but he says not so. No one knew he was expecting a child until the final TC. I don't get it either. Some juries really in the past have separated out the 'outside the game' factors, such as who 'needs' the money more. I think it was a convenient reason to jump on the bandwagon because you didn't like Spence or Tash and didn't want to just say that. :p I do think Jeremy had a really strong social game overall, and that was under-edited. He had bonds with everyone just about, and everyone consulted with him. It wasn't shown, but he knew he didn't need to play his idol when Savage was booted because the 'Witches Coven' outright told him that Savage was the target. And he had pretty good rapport to know they weren't lying. Which was why I think he lost it a bit when Kimmi tried to flip on him. He was mostly mad at himself for being played. Almost. |
