Survivor: Game Changers — Mamanuca Islands
Multiple links in body of thread | February 9, 2017

Posted on 02/09/2017 2:41:00 PM PST by EveningStar

Survivor: Game Changers — Mamanuca Islands is the 34th season of Survivor (for those unfamiliar with the show, there are two seasons each year). It begins Wednesday, March 8, 2017 on CBS at 8/7c with a special two hour episode.

Wikipedia article


There will be twenty returning players divided into two tribes of ten players each. The "Game Changers" theme as with some past themes, is of course utterly contrived. Apparently the original plan called for three teams consisting of (1) winners, (2) those who made the jury, and (3) those who were booted prior to making the jury. The plan fell through when the producers couldn't get enough winners to return.

Twelve cast members will be playing for a second time, six for a third time, and two for a fourth time.

Michaela and Tai talked big but went with the majority - no blind side.

Boy, is Sierra gonna kick herself when she sees the replay and sees how Sarah basically stole that immunity from her.

Sierra completely misplaced her trust.

Both half hours should have been an hour of their own. Too much seemed missing. And no reward challenge?
Tai seemed too certain he was safe and we had no idea why. And why Michaela and not a stronger threat.

Would Cerie have made that huge error 2 weeks earlier?

Survivor: Michaela says Jeff Probst almost let Cirie play the vote steal

Dalton Ross
Entertainment Weekly
May 18, 2017
... On Troyzan’s tweets saying he was actually the one who pointed out that the vote steal was non-transferable and that “even Jeff was confused who could use the Advantage until I had him tell Cirie to re-read the clue that said NonTrans!”

“I think that Sarah said it first, ‘cause Sarah knew. And then it almost blew over. Jeff almost allowed Cirie to play it anyway. But then I think Troyzan did point out, ‘Well, non-transferable means non-transferable,’ and then Jeff said, ‘Read it again, Cirie.’ And when she read it again, it was done. So then Sarah got to take her vote back.” The game changed. Troyzan should have kept his mouth shut!” ...

Survivor Ping!


These are the six finalists:

I have two questions for you:
  1. Who are you rooting for?
  2. Who do you predict will be the likely winner?
I'm rooting for either Brad or Troyzan. They are the only players remaining that I like.

I think that Cirie has the best chance of winning. Don't be surprised if the remaining challenges favor her.

The producers obviously like her or they wouldn't keep inviting her back. She is one of only four players to play four times, the others being Boston Rob Mariano, Ozzy Lusth, and Rupert Boneham.

I never understood Cirie's appeal. Yeah, she's pleasant and bright, but so what? So are a lot of players who don't keep getting invited back.

I agree half with your choice from the remaining... Brad seems the only one left worht anything. I never liked Cirie, I always thought that she was annoying and couldn’t understand why they keep bringing her back :p

I actually like Michaela, but she had an unpredictable temper that would stamp out any faith I had (re)built up with her. She was a serious workhorse...

(And, I could never figure out why they keep bringing back Sandra, already a winner (twice?!) :/ I think after 1 win, they should be finished with Survivor.)

And I seriously wish they would stop pushing queers, it is a real turn-off for the show.

OH! IF they continue bringing back previous survivors... I have ALWAYS hoped they would bring back my personal favorite, Stephanie. I was sad (envious) when she got married (lol), but she was always one of the (best) good guys and brought cheer to the game.

I don’t think Jeff was “confused” either. I believe that Jeff and the other producers, for some PC reason, think that Cirie walks on water, and they want her to win. See post 150.

I’m on team Brad and Troy as well. Hope one is first and the other second. The order is not important to me, although the money is probably more important to Troy than to Brad.

Hey Star,

First off, I really want Brad to win tonight. Simply because I'm not impressed with any of the others game play.

However, we all know that what we want and what we get don't always coincide, so we will probably end up with some weakling like Aubry or Sarah winning.

Finally, thank you for all you have done hosting the ping list and managing this thread.

As I've said many times before...

“You da Bomb!”

See ya next season,

Cuz

I’d pay $49.95 to see them dropped above the tree line on Mount Washington any time after October 15.

Other than that, yawn.

I guess Troyzan would have broken a tie back there in Fiji as Jeff looks at the votes immediately just in case.

Sarah played a fine game , but why a final 3? 3rd rarely get a vote .

Season 35 already filmed, Heroes, Healers, Hustlers .

See you next season. Amazing Race is getting stale, but Survivor is still great.
