Survivor 16: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites - Page 13

Lol, this is by far the best season of Survivor EVER. All the medical removals, all the HII play/non-play, all the dumbshit moves from all the fans. The last couple weeks have had me doubled over laughing during tribal council. So fucking awesome.

Soygen · 05-08-2008, 06:48 PM

Holy fucking shit. Eric is a complete retard. Hahaha. /agree with Grimey. This has been a hilariously entertaining season.

BEST EPISODE EVER!

I can't believe what I just saw; I thought nothing could top last week...

I see Amanda learned a few things from Todd.

"I think that's what you call a Life Lesson"

ROFL!

Wow, and I thought Eric was the only smart Fan they had this season.

There were no smart fans. They were just sharkbait. It would have been interesting to see them play against themselves but they were no match for a bunch of all stars. It's like they took some average NBA players and put them in an NBA all star game against the best NBA players. They didn't stand a chance playing against players who were pro survivors and went through all of this before.

I also want to know how they picked them as "FANS". I am sure everyone who applies says "I am the biggest fan of survivor I have seen every episode." Were they tested to prove this? And the highest scores were fans? Cause some of these "fans" looked like they had no fucking clue how to play this game. Every fan so far made a ton of stupid mistakes that they never woulda made if they paid attention to past seasons.

/agree

My wife and I were saying to eachother, There's no WAY he'll go along with this...
Then a few minutes later, Oh god he IS falling for it!!

Cerie is going to end up winning though. She's just been the devil on the shoulder this whole game telling everyone what to do.

Man, after watching the preview thing for the next episode and them showing all the medi-vacs, it really pisses me off that Jonathan had to leave. He's one of my favorite Survivors of all-time and really would have made the game interesting. These girls have just coasted through this game because the group of guys they got for this season, aside from Yauman and Jonathan, are some of the worst mental players in Survivor.

Brutul Tarew Marr · 05-08-2008, 10:40 PM

Oh my god that was painful to watch. I was with Natalie, that plan was too stupid to even attempt, let alone think it would work. The whole time I was just thinking no...he's not really going to do it...he can't possibly. It was hilarious when he started handing it over. Like all the remaining survivors and all the jury members were just alternately laughing and shaking their heads. Even Jason was like "WTF am I watching here?". Unbelievable. This not only trumps James, but takes it to a whole new level. Poor kid.

I'm hoping Nat is out before F3 but it's not a huge deal cause no one but Alexis will vote for her to win. Rooting for Amanda but I would be ok with Cerie or Parvati winning too. They all played a good game. Amanda seemed kind of boring for a lot of the season but the last 2 episodes proved that she can really play. Parv and Cerie did her a favor but getting Ozzie out of there so she could actually use her brain.

It really is a shame that Jonathan had to leave. Him and Eliza working together would have been fun to watch.

Cerie is absolutely the most deserving of winning at this point. Of the past four blindsides that we've seen, she's pretty much orchestrated everyone except for the one involving Amanda's immunity idol (and she even was able to handle that without missing a beat).

I just fear that people will look at what happened tonight and think Natalie is some sort of genius, because she was able to get another person's immunity away from them. The main problem Cerie is going to have winning is that she's played such a subtle game, that it would be very easy for someone else to take credit for all of her work.

And I just loved her digging that dagger into Natalie while Erik and Amanda were off at reward. "I had that reward when it was my season. Don't you guys even try to tell me it wasn't any good!" Devious, but oh so funny!

MorinkhanMT · 05-09-2008, 07:26 AM

Man, that was a great episode lol.

Erik's just so young and naive. I feel kind of bad for him, while my mind boggles at his stupidity. The four women played him perfectly, reading his naivety and desire to please to a tee. I mean, I could almost understand his viewpoint about not having any votes on the jury. But damn... how could he actually take it that far as to give up the II, *especially* after what, 4 straight weeks of devious blindsides? lol

I think he underestimated himself. Jury voters these days often overlook their emotional state and vote for good gameplay. Sure, he wasn't playing a brilliant strategic game, but physically he was dominating. The sheer number of immunities he was winning, as well as sticking around despite being the only male, would probably have weighed well in his favour.

In any case, it gained him Survivor immortality. That was one of the best tribal council moves ever. I spent the last half of the episode thinking, "There's NO WAY the girls will pull that off..." haha. Back-to-back amazing tribals. What a great season this has been. =)

Brutul Tarew Marr · 05-09-2008, 08:34 AM

Yeah, Erik had a decent chance. He had won what, the last 3 immunity challenges in a row plus a reward challenge. None of the girls could beat him at anything so all he had to do was win one more to make F3 and then he could play the underdog card and the physical prowess card. Just making it to F3 with basically no friends since the merge and not really screwing anyone over would have been pretty impressive. Somebody on another board said it was like watching a golden retriever puppy get torn apart by 4 wolves lol. I think once one of the girls started talking to him he lost all thought in his head except "OMG she has boobies".

It's really 4 in a row. The last 4 boots were Ozzie, Jason, Alexis, and Erik and none of them had even a slight clue that they were going home 10 seconds before their torches got snuffed. The only person on the jury that wasn't a complete blindside was Eliza and she even tried to play Ozzie's stick haha.

This season didn't start out that great, but it sure picked up after the merge.

MorinkhanMT · 05-09-2008, 09:05 AM

Four great ones in a row, agreed. But the past two have been among the best in the show's history, IMO. Amanda's acting job leading to her playing the HII, then the girls' subversion of Erik leading to him giving up the II... those were classic Survivor moments. =)

Zest · 05-09-2008, 10:14 AM

This is why I don't trust women. Life lesson is right.

I was really gunning for Amanda to win because I wanted her to be smart enough to fix her game from last season... but after watching Cirie work Natalie and Erik, if she gets credit for all the things she's done, I don't think anyone can beat her.

QFT

Remember 2 seasons ago. Amanda was great in the game up until the Final Tribal Council and Todd played her for a fool. She could have easily have won the million the last time but she sucked so badly in the final 3 and Todd schemed and talked his way into $1 million. Unless Amanda learned to not suck in the final tribal council, I could see Cirie winning this by dominating the Q&A.

God, at this moment in time, it really is. My favorite previous to this was All*Stars, and it seems like any type of all-star/favorite season is going to be awesome.

Although, anything could have been better compared to China... Amanda and James were the only good things that came from that season.
