Survivor: Blood vs. Water
Multiple links in body of thread | August 23, 2013

Posted on 08/23/2013 4:54:58 PM PDT by EveningStar

Survivor: Blood vs. Water is the 27th season of Survivor. It begins Wednesday, September 18, 2013 on CBS at 8/7c with a special 90 minute episode.

Official Survivor site at CBS

Wikipedia article


Each team will consist of ten players. One team consists of returning players. The other team consists of the loved ones of those returning players.

Redemption Island returns, but with a twist: remaining players will be forced to choose whether to "save" their partner on Redemption Island and switch places with them, thus allowing their partner to immediately re-enter the game, or leave them in exile to survive on their own.

As with the last two seasons, this season takes place in the Philippines, but in a different location: Palaui Island, Cagayan.

Galang Tribe (retuning players - orange buffs): Aras, Candice, Colton, Gervase, Kat, Laura M, Monica, Rupert, Tina, Tyson

Tadhana Tribe (loved ones - red buffs): Brad, Caleb, Ciera, Hayden, John, Katie, Laura B, Marissa, Rachel, Vytas

F3 is pretty well set unless someone other than TGM win that final challenge.

As you say the final 3 is TGM unless somebody else wins.

So if it is Tyson wins.

All he has to say at Final TC is “You all knew I was the one pulling the strings and these two were my puppets.”

Tyson never really sold anybody out. He only responded when he found out that others were trying to throw him under the hut.

He turned against Tina/Aras when they embraced her daughter and future son in law at the merge.

He turned against Hayden/Caleb when they were planning a blindside.

He’s actually been more than fair with Ciera and her mother.

He’s actually played a pretty clean game without having to lie and backstab — too much — which is a key factor to getting jury votes.

The name of the game is OUTPLAY OUTWIT OUTLAST. If the jury keep that in mind and realize that their votes will be made public, then Tyson should win in a landslide because while F3 have all Outlasted the others, Tyson has clearly also Outwitted and Outplayed and Outlucked them all —

with a little help from the Producers.

I don’t know if “turned against” is the right phrase for what he did.

It’s true they tried to flip the sides but their actions more or less just set the order of their exit.

I think Aras was the only really preemptive move on his part. The rest were more “OK, enough of that - it’s your turn.”

BTW this was funny:

On the Aftershow Katie referred to Hayden/Ciera... as the “good guys” and was called out for it by the Parvati —

and that after she says that she found Ciera sneakily rifling through her stuff at camp and then finding and reading her clue to the hii — a Survivor No No.

I think even with a clue Katie is Clueless. I don’t think she ever understood what this game was all about.

Am SO hoping Laura somehow inserts herself into the final three. Her ability to survive totally independently would have to garner votes over creepy Tyson.

Plus, she’s a total babe. I vote for her like a democrat...four or five times.

So Kat settled for the next best thing to keep Hayden around.

She didn’t make the merge but her breasts now do.

Bah, final three written so far early into the game, and only one person actually makes a move to break it up, and random chance doesn’t shine on her.

I’m sure it has happened before, but I don’t personally recall a final four challenge that was so physical, usually it is an endurance challenge that the women excel at.

With what happened, can’t blame anyone for voting for Tyson.

Must have been in the after show.

I stop watching after the votes are read.

What did Kat do? Get breast implants?

How many times were Monica and Grevase told the last 4 weeks if they make it to the final three with Tyson he wins?

Yep — apparently so

She said that she is a little top-heavy now as Hayden was trying to shush her.

It was an awkward moment.

The Wrap Up:

There was no award for Fan Favorite as in earlier years.

Best question at FC Award: Aras — which of the other two sitting next to you would you vote for and why???

Award for the Most Delusional: Badass Monica, who made Brad what he is today.

Change of Heart Award: Tina, who has withdrawn her son-in-law offer to Vytas and now has an offer out to Hayden.

Second Thoughts Award: Badass Monica, who won’t be getting Tyson’s hii for Xmas because he had to give it to Gervase after Monica’s whining at TC.

Whiner Award: Monica

Festivus Award: Vytas for his airing of grievances at FC.

The Nothing Has Changed Award: Rupert, who hasn’t changed his tie-dyed tank top in 10 years.

Rupert should consider never doing this show again. He was the beloved Rupert the first 2 times but after that, not so much.

I thought that Tyson's tears on the island were a ploy to gain jury sympathy but after last nights win I felt the need to change my mind. He played the game well and in the end deserved the win.

Monica was wearing some pretty bling during the after show. Life is good in an NFL family.

I wondered if Tina and Katie would make the after show. Condolences to them in the loss of son / brother. Tina's message "Wear Your Seatbelt". Anyone else notice Tyson holding her leg as a sign of comforting support? There's more to him then I ever gave him credit for.

Delusional Gervace received 0 votes. Convict niece apparently made bail and was sitting by his side at the reunion show.
