Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water (US) [** Spoilers **]

Thargor

Oh yeah its not a great season bit its still Survivor so better than 95% of the other stuff I watch.

S.M.B.

John the gob****e. I wonder had missy her mind made up before she got to tribal. Damn edit gives little away.

That was some A grade quality lying on show from Nathalie and Missy though.

John was far too naive and confident in both himself and others. Surely something had to give either this week or once they got down to the final five. Interesting that we never saw a discussion about the final 3 between J&J and anyone else.

Yeah Jon demonstrated great naivety,overconfidence and blind faith in alliance loyalty whilst everything pointed in the opposite direction.

Thought the edit just before heading to tribal pointed to Missy making a game changing move...

Nathalie is a very strong position to win the game,possibly final 3 with Baylor and Missy.If Keith makes the final 3 he'll have a very receptive jury with a few scores to settle elsewhere.

Kirby

Classic case of over confidence. When you have an idol, use it. The amount of people who go home with it in their pockets is staggering. A real nice acting job by Nat though. She really sold it.

I still think Missy will win. That was my prediction and I'm sticking with it, bad ankle or no. If missy doesn't make it, then it has to be Baylor.

S.M.B.

If I was handing out odds it would be in this order

Nathalie
.
Keith
.
.
.
Missy / Jaclyn
.
.
.
Baylor

Hyzepher

Anyone looking to win should bring Jaclyn into top 3. I'd say that Baylor could be persuaded by Nathalie to vote her mom out and she'd be a shoe-in to win

Love those moves in Survivor. John was getting quite irritating and despite not really liking Natalie towards the start of the season, I think she has proven to be a smart player. This move could win her the $1m!

I'm not sure how it came across in tribal, but at the end when Jon was leaving he gave credit of the blindside to Keith. If it didn't come out that it was Natalie that could have positive impacts for Keith. But I guess it will come out in future trials or if Natalie gets to the end.

No way is Baylor bringing Natalie to the end over her mom. If it's Baylor Miss and Jan at the end either Baylor or Miss would win it.

If Keith gets to the end I think he wins he has too many votes on the jury, basically everyone, except Jeremy, were on his side.

A Keith win would be glorious.

Only for the arrogant winking and making Natalie look stupid

S.M.B.

If Keith can get Nathalie out of the game he has a very good chance of winning.

If he can somehow bring Missy and Baylor to sit in front of the jury then he's guaranteed victory in my opinion.

For those who haven't been listening RHAP this season, he's releasing an audiobook that will span all 30 seasons. Volume 1 will cover 1-10 over 80 hours or so. Signing up for the newsletter gets you the Borneo chapter for free.

The Evolution of Strategy

I started watching Heroes Vs Villains for the first time over the weekend. These guys are playing hard off the bat. There's a good 20 seasons that I've yet to see so I'm trying to fill in some of the gaps.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

You're so lucky. I started watching originally during the first All-Stars (Season 8), so I only had 7 seasons of catch-up back in the day. Wish I had 20 odd seasons to watch. Most of the older seasons are far better than the recent ones, but Heroes VS Villans was especially great.

Tocantins with JT Thomas,Stephen Fishbach and Benjamin "Coach" Wade.

Samoa is only memorable for introducing us to the one and only Russell Hantz.

S.M.B.

I've either seen or know what happens in the majority of those seasons which is a shame.

Must check out Cook Island anyway if it's that interesting. And the same with Micronesia.

I know who the majority of those cast members are at this stage and how well each of them have done.

Is all-stars worth watching? I don't think I know the outcome of that one.

GreNoLi

Every season up to S25 is on utube, I recommend S12, just a solid season all round.

BobMc

i'm great for avoiding spoilers, I've access besides you-tube, will be checking out some new seasons, but think I'll wait till this one is over

Agent Coulson

Was the finale not on last night?

I alway thought the live tribal was on a Sunday night.

Looking forward to Keith romping home to victory.

Think they stopped doing the Sunday night finale last year. I'm fairly certain one of (if not both) season 27 and 28 finales were on the Wednesday...

astonaidan

Anyone send me a site I could watch it on

astonaidan

A predictable result, stupid move by Jacyln.
Reed omg I didnt think I could love him more, hes so catty

Agent Coulson

The right person won.

Toto Wolfcastle

I've watched Survivor since I stumbled across the first season on TG4 all those years ago and this is the first series that I really haven't liked at all. I haven't even watched the two episodes before the finale. I'll probably watch the finale at some point but I'm not rushing to watch it like I usually do. Hopefully next season will be better.

Foxtrol

I wasn't particularly a fan of hers but to be fair she played the final few days really well. I think she would have been eaten alive in seasons with more decent players involved.

I found it quite ironic that Jeremy started spouting all this crap about being 'a student of the game' during his jury question when he lost his mind with a vendetta when he believed someone hadn't protected his wife. Reed's piece was fantastic, really cut to the heart of what I think several players felt about Missy and her protection of Baylor's antics.

They really use these 'social experiment' taglines to get people interested but it's pointless if they don't cast people who know what's happening (which clearly wasn't the case this season).

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Worst season of Survivor ever, but at least the finale was halfway decent. Loved Reed's speech about Missy - probably my least favourite castaway of all-time.

Looking forward to next season and already rooting for the "No Collar" tribe without having had an introduction to any of them. Thankfully Probst swears that Season 30 will be a good one and he usually means that. He wasn't a fan of 29 either and it showed.

Machismo Fan

That was a 10/10 blindside, made her a worthwhile winner because of that alone. Not a great season overall, no one really that interesting there. Right person won at least.

Ah now Reed was interesting, on another season he would have been more talked about, if not for Keith being Keith he would have took over imo.
And well Keith had a certain charm to him

Kirby

Well I predicted Missy would win it earlier on in the season. It was obvious, to me at least, that she would make it to the end ankle or no ankle. But the right person won. Natalie's move with the idol cemented her win. It was very well played.

I hope the producers learned their lesson though. Blood versus water is played out, don't do it again. And for the love of god, cast some game players.
