I liked David as a person and hes entertaining as heck.

I just think he started getting too cocky and wasn’t playing a very smart game.

He was the only one to snuff out the Kyle + Kamilla duo, but went about exposing it really poorly.

I think which threw it over the top was he first thought Kamilla's Ride or Die was Shauhin, so he tried to sell it as Kamilla and Shauhin. Kyle then used social capital to stop it from happening. It seems Joe trusts Shauhin and Kyle more than David, Kyle then can sell that the reason they are gunning for Kamila because David is trying to undermine Shauhin's game. Also, just randomly brining in Mary who I think was only close with David and Eva into the 6 while then trying to cut Kamila killed it.

Disappointed to see David voted out. Man things would have gotten interesting if he won the immunity challenge and didn’t choke like that. He really went off the rails the last few episodes, though.

I just hope basically anyone other than Kamilla wins. I can’t stand her at all.

Of course dumb ass Joe and his sidekick Eva were tricked into voting for David who was absolutely 100% correct about all of his suspicions even though he went about it wrong.

David was an entertaining character and this show needs more of those.

I think this is one of the least impressive casts I can remember. I don’t hate them or anything, but I don’t find them good at the game.

Kyle got his way with all of that, but I found his methods of convincing to be very weak. Maybe it made sense and all that for Joe and Eva, but out of all of this I don’t feel anyone comes out of it looking good.

Kyle: Got his way but didn’t impress in getting his way.

Camilla: Has no agency.

Eva: Has advantages and idols, but basically has no strategy.

Joe: Seems a nice and honorable guy, but not much of a strategist.

Shauhin: I guess he doesn’t come out of it that poor, but it’s really hard to think he’s doing that great of a job after that Thomas vote weeks back where he got dooped (and same for Joe).

David: Kind of seemed to be the one who was playing the good game, but he goes out here.

Mitch: Is a good story teller and seems to have a read on the game, but has no allies, so he can’t make any moves.

No one is good!

My wife and I were having the same conversation. They're a like-able enough group, but the strategy is just almost non-existent. The bro's just wanted to coast out on that alliance with no real strategy. Other than that it didn't seem anyone really has a plan.


Interesting that you left out Star and Mary, pretty telling of their impact on the game so far. I usually can't even remember Star's name unless she's doing a confessional with her name on screen. She's just kinda... there lol.

Sorry. After the ridicule I took from you guys, I can't resist.

What happened to your dramatic exit never to return LOL???

For what it's worth, I happened to catch your post before it was deleted, either by you or by a moderator, but I was sad to see it disappear. I thought it would have served as a decent summation of our recent conversations, and quite possibly provide the reason why the Survivor threads have so drastically gone downhill in participation.

You can personally insult me and name-call me and call me a whiny baby and question my veracity as a hockey fan all you want. You can imply that I don't deserve to be a hockey fan. It's no skin off my back. There is an easy solution. Don't hang around with people like you.

Just wanted to add that before I go. Take care.

Dang. And I told someone I wasn't going to gloat.

The last couple posts of yours really make no sense. You should have just taken the hit when you were proven wrong. It was over. I would have never said another word. I had no intention of demanding a pound of flesh or rubbing your nose in it.

I will be totally honest with you, Shakes. You insulted me, name-called me, and you questioned my integrity as a hockey fan. You ripped apart and parsed the shit out of my posts, and then you insulted me more when you called me a conspiracy theorist. After I was proven right and you were proven wrong, how could I not give you just a little taste of your own shit?

Now I'm thinking you like the taste.

Let it go. Let's stop cluttering up this thread with bullshit and let's free our friends here from this argument you can't let go of. Either that or considering that you gave my theory zero credibility, perhaps it's you who should leave. Public embarrassment can be a heavy burden to carry, and right now your back is bending.

It took 3 hours and close to 100 takes but this afternoon I made a 3 videos divided into approximately 50 second to 1 minute intervals that will encompass the meat and potatoes of an audition video. I need to lose about 15 lbs and get a haircut and find out if my job is gonna give me a promotion or not. And if not. f*** em. I'll get that tape ready with the quickness.

I cover a self description. Why that description disarms people and gets them to open up to me immediately. I ask why I should EVER tell anyone the truth about anything because no one believes my age or my story anyway. I say "I can be a boring nice guy who goes home early or a winner who ruthlessly exploits information freely given to him"

When explaining my quest of jack booted thuggery that would make King Tony blush, I'm gonna look straight into the camera and use the words "If I can't dazzle you with brilliance I'll baffle you with bullshit" "get one of the brainiacs I'm playing with to divide by zero" and compare fellow contestants to wanting to be chameleons. But me? I will model myself after an octopus. It's up to CBS to understand they LITERALLY resort to the equivalent of oceanic bullshit if they can't outsmart you

This is important because I call myself ADD, someone who belongs on impractical jokers and a bit weird. If you're gonna say that, you better follow it up with weird ADD shit.

I finish with my heartwarming story of the fight to get my fiance sober from meth and her daughter out of foster care using a newly invented legal loophole. I acknowledge I'm playing it up but I am going to have to in order to not be public enemy number one. At some point these other players are gonna know about hiw I literally lost everything and got it all back

I'm saving roughly 14 seconds for an opening video of clips of me starting a fire, fileting fish and making a fake idol. I'll be playing the instrumental of the chorus of "Once" by Pearl Jam



f***ing please tell me I planned this right

never admit to this in an audition. Take that from the only poster here who actually auditioned and made it on a reality show. You need to stand out and be unique from the get go. A video of you making fire, fileting a fish etc will put you in a category with probably 1000 other people who also do that in their video.


Come up with something that showcases your skills and personality without being so on the nose in terms of doing Survivor activities.


I still remember Boston Rob's initial audition video. He tried to impress by squeezing his entire body in a refrigerator in his kitchen. Was it relevant to Survivor skills? Probably not. Did it stand out more than the 1000s of videos of people making fire and showing camping skills? 100%

That was more to showcase I refuse to be boring. In a world where all I gotta do is be Russell's nephew, some random LA model who knows someone or Eddie George's wife, I don't think people still need to go to that level of extremes for attention

I'll write the whole quote later

The fact I'm not some erudite civil rights lawyer whose spent the last 3 years replicating puzzles in his basement ought to set me apart by itself. If you're telling me I gotta wear a coconut bra while blasting John Cena's entrance music while running an infomercial to get attention when all Gabler had to do was hold a chainsaw and do lumberjack stuff while blasting f***ing "Fuel" by Metallica then I might have to just consider making a 3 minute skit and saying "Call me guys!!"

The full context

I describe myself as ADD in a way that pokes fun at myself. Then say "I think people pick up on how "weird" I am so to speak and they lower their guard and open up to me. They find me nonthreatening" "I very quickly become everyone's best friend and therapist" "And the only greater talent I have is no one believing my story (which I'll get to later) the fact I used to be an RN and went into retail and they refuse to believe my age" "So it brings me to a revelation. Why should I go on Survivor and play an honest game?"

"I can be a boring nice guy who goes home early. Or I can be a winner who shamelessly pedaled for every advantage he could get and ruthlessly exploited all the information freely given to him" "It amazes me people can say or do almost anything they want on this show without any consequences. I plan on doing that"

I guarantee you CBS has never had a contestant say "If I feel any heat on me I'll get one of these brainiacs to divide by zero" and compare my game to an octopus and say "If they can't better you with brilliance they'll just resort to beating you with bullshit. They don't care and I don't either" I also stress I'm going to invent alliances and advantages that don't exist

I cannot stress to you enough that this is literally how I talk to people in real life and their answer is "Holy shit dude. I can't with you"

I admit at the end of the video I'm laying it on thick and justify my antics with a made for CBS heartwarming story of losing everything and getting it back that can be proven true


I've made a point to have no wasted motion


I wager CBS is desperate. They have Jeff BEGGING for applications because I guarantee you they have the same 8,000 people applying over and over and rejecting them


If they need me to do something stupid for 10 seconds then fine. But I cannot be any less direct about myself and the game I will play



I'm banking on them having the same "Holllyyy shit you gotta see this guy" I do to literally everyone because my stand out is the colorful way I express my thoughts

Very nice, love it. Only thing I would suggest is to replace the video/fish videos with something more creative that also plays into the personality you are trying to convey to them. Sounds like you are trying to convey that you are a gamer with no conscious who will do whatever it takes to win. You talk about creating fake advantages...maybe have a vide where you do something similar to that in real life setting. spitballing off the top of my head, but have a video where you hide a fake advantage in a store and film a friend finding it and being like WTF is this crap, says here I have the right to steal the groceries out of another shopper's cart??? You could play that out a few different ways and it would be funny and also show off our creative side.

That's easy. I might do that

I don't **want** to be the sociopathic lovechild of Russell Hantz and Tony Vlachos as much as I see it as the best path of success in New Era. Someone gets blindsided and they're all "AWWWW DUDE THATS TOTALLY SWEET!!" Man f*** that. I want money. You go be happy about being on the wrong side of history.

It is my solemn intention to open my video by describing myself as an empath who better belongs on impractical jokers. -->>> this is how and why I'm everyone's friend and therapist. But just because I cry when someone else does doesn't mean I shouldn't run these people over with a lawnmower.

I'll take any advice on how to convey that I don't take any pleasure in this but if there's a sole survivor title to be won and a million bucks then damn it I want it

When there's shit to be won I don't play fair
