Survivor Season 42: Starts Wednesday March 9, 2022 (1 Viewer)

Why is Kelly telling everyone about the Idols when she gets to Extinction island? One of these people could get back in the game, she's not only blowing up her spot but Lauren's as well  :loco:

They won't go back until there are 5 left. Another idol will probably be put back in play. Lauren if she is smart should start looking for the second idol.

Surprised Kelly didn't play her idol in that spot since they keep telling us how great a returning player she is and all.  Thought it sucked that she told everyone Lauren had an idol.  Wonder if David is already trying to figure out how to get a signal to Devens about it at the next TC.  

Wardog the first (out) doing what he does, losing challenges in record time.  However, if he makes it to the finals he'll have a decent case about how he's orchestrated a few blindsides that changed the course of the game.  But like Kelly said at TC, there is a time to blindside and a time to ride with an alliance that is working by the numbers.  He finally finds himself on the right side of the numbers but still wants to roll the dice and try to get others to blindside one of his alliance members.   :loco:   Hope he is on extinction island soon. 

I don't care for Ron.  

 
Aurora giving up the extra vote is almost as stupid as the guy that gave up the immunity necklace... :loco:
This seemed very odd to me as well.  I may have missed part of her comments but I suppose her reasoning is she figured she didn't have anyone else on her side so an extra vote from her wouldn't make any difference, so by giving it to Ron, who has a couple of people(?), she's giving him a vote of confidence that she'll vote with him going forward in hopes that he'll remember her gesture.  I don't know.  Still seems silly to me. Unless she had to use the advantage within a certain time frame.  

He said thanks, I'll use it to vote you off.   :lol:

I agree, she knows Kelly's will likely be put back in play.  Hope she finds another one as it looks like she'll need it.

Do we know that for certain?
I was wondering if Kelly got to keep it.  She is technically still in the game so why would it necessarily go away.  I would think she could still use it if she got off the edge of extinction.

Thought the same thing
This came up when Aubrey got voted out and someone posted the official answer from the producers: no, players can not keep anything when they go to Extinction.

IMO....she had her chances to use it and chose not too....she rolled the dice and got away with it a couple times already....if the person coming back from extinction at (5) would get to bring back an idol with them, that seems a little too much of an advantage.....i agree with not letting the bring back anything they had....whatever they get on E island, fine....but if you get greedy and get caught....tough

Really dislike the fact that people voted off are given the opportunity to re-enter the game. It’s even worse when those voted off have the ability to impact who wins immunity challenges.

Oh, I agree.  I just had not seen anything definitive about whether or not they could keep them.  I think they should lose everything they had game wise because they were voted out.  I also don't think they should get any advantages or possible advantages to give to anyone else.  If they are going to use this gimmick they should be just in limbo with nothing to do (I don't even think they should get tribal council jury status).  It should truly be on the edge of extinction. 

 
Regarding Kelly telling everyone on extinction island about Lauren's idol: I think we forget how much people have to keep information in check during this game. When you get voted out, especially someone who is a returning player and has been through it before, it must be somewhat of a relief because now you can talk about the game. I think Kelly was just so excited about being able to process everything verbally, she momentarily forgot she could still get back in the game. Or maybe she was just using Lauren as an ally and wasn't really her friend.

 
Wardog....first out in the challenge....again.

Worst ever. 
What if Wardog is losing on purpose?

To be the first out at almost every challenge you either have to be inordinately bad or really smart.  And he seems like a smart player.

Also, could he really have no self-awareness to nickname himself "Wardog"?

Everyone knows he sucks at challenges which takes a target off his back ("we can vote him out whenever 'cause he's never going to win immunity").  What if he is slow playing it and will turn it on and win the last few challenges to get him to the final three?  

That'd be genius.

You can't fake throwing the way he threw the sand bags during that one challenge.  He was epically bad at throwing.  You cannot fake that level of ineptitude.  He is as un-athletic as you can get.

I thought that too. He could be sandbagging challenges and throwing with his off arm. I find it hard to believe that someone that appears to be be in pretty good shape and a sports fan to be so bad a physical tasks. His social/strategic game is so sharp, that I it's very possible that he's losing a lot of these challenges on purpose.

I'm a righty, if I threw a beanbag/ball/anything with my left arm, I'd look like a toddler.

 
I'm going to go ahead and say it: This is the last season EVER for Survivor.  I've been a big fan of the show since its inception, but they're running out of ideas.  And with the name Edge of Extinction, it sounds like the perfect send-off to the series.  I mean, they keep filming the show in Fiji, and they've already traveled everywhere else in the world.  So, please, I hope that this is the last season ever for Survivor because I don't know how many more ideas the producers at CBS have left!

Season 40 has been leaked as a cast of all winners by someone who knows things,  so at least 2 more seasons. 

 
But if it were up to me, I'd like to try a master's edition.

I'd up the prize to $2MM. Cast only nature survivalists to live off the land. No food rewards, only single peices of hunting or cooking gear. One HII per camp, and no other gimmicks.

If you're going to do that, I'd also throw in that after the tribe immunity challenges, throw in a individual immunity challenge with the last player to complete the challenge getting voted out.  After merge, the same thing.  This is a much different game, but it would be more of a survivor mentality.  The final challenge would be one on one, winner take all.

A problem with that is his social game is and has rubbed others the wrong way.  If he's laying low in challenges then why constantly try to shake up everything at TC?  I get that he has to build a resume somehow but he doesn't seem to be playing the game of someone who is just trying to get people to "bring him to the final 3" with them.  

And he's been inept in tribal immunity challenges too which is not a good idea if you're losing on purpose.  I can see him give his final 3 speech... "I threw challenges on purpose to appear inept so I can lay low and then turn it on later to keep a target off my back... and here I am!"

Jury members:  "So let me get this straight... you insisted on throwing the sand bags (among other challenges), if you can call it throwing, and then intentionally kept us from getting immunity as a tribe... and also rewards/chickens/fishing gear?  Uh, okay, you just lost my vote."  

I think there are many guys who have the lack of self-awareness to call themselves something like "Wardog."

 
I always thought they would do an all-celebrity season.  Only pro athletes and music/movie/entertainment industries.  

Steph Curry/Lebron/other NBAers

Ellen Degeneres would be interesting/funny

Yvette Nicole Brown

Ray Lewis

Odell Beckam Jr. 

Neal Patrick Harris

Aaron Rodgers/Peyton Manning/Michael Vick?

DJ Khaled

Phil Mickelson/Rickey Fowler/other golfer

Maybe have to up it to $5M with most to charity.  What would be a good lineup for a celebrity season?

:lmao:  I’d watch with that mix of characters.  OBJ strikes me as one who wouldnt last too long out there. 

 
The move was correct to make (voting out Kelly), it was just too soon.  It was just like when Kama voted out Joe.  Right move, too soon to do it.  You don't do that move JUST after getting the voting majority.

I actually think that they let Wentworth stay in too long and she was starting to build some power in the game.

On the other hand, I may be saying this as I couldn't stand her and wanted her out as soon as possible.

The inner nerd in me would want to see Marvel vs DC.  Downey Jr and Christian Bale battling for the immunity necklace?  Paul Rudd leading a blindside to oust Mark Ruffalo at tribal council?  I'm in.

The insurance necessary for that kind of spectacle would roughly be the gross national product of China.

Walking Dead cast vs Fear the Walking Dead cast maybe?

Would also love to see The Rock on Survivor in some capacity.  Dude brings the fun.

not sure what this really means....you can decide not to watch....but millions of others still will....hell half of me wishes they would go back to some of the original format and survivor at its core without a lot of the recent new gimmicks...the original theme is still decent TV IMO...

This season kinda sucks imo, was hoping it would pick up after the merge but it hasn't really. Not sure what it is about this cast but I could care less about any of them at this point.  I was glad they moved things along and booted two people off last episode.
