TV: Survivor: Season 47 - Fall 2024

[93LEAFS]

Sam screwed up when he agreed with using Andy as the backup plan. We'll see what the longterm implications of that are. He also was weirdly way too concerned with Rachel's fate at tribal. Does he not realize that she doesn't feel the same concern for his safety?

I think Sierra is playing a better game than Sam.

I think I would add Sue to the top of those ratings, but that may be more an indication that I'm fully unimpressed with everyone else left in the game.

Gabe is Rome lite. His arrogance is going to spell the end of him. Lying to someone and saying you are willing to go to rocks is a really dumb ignorant arrogant move.

Andy is sloppy, but he seems to think the game better than most of them in terms of long term strategy and how votes will line up.

I think Genevieve is probably getting the strongest edit and seems to be well connected. They are highlighting that she is constantly picking up people at the bottom (Rome, Sol, and now Andy). They've highlighted she can take over a vote when she wanted to (the Kishan vote) and no one seems to be actually targeting her while she's also seems well liked.

I wouldn't rule out Teeny yet. She seems to have a very strong social game but hasn't had much direct influence on the game.

Good episode. I liked the twist. Sol has no chance to win, but he played that perfectly.

My power rankings of those left that can win.

1. Genevieve-Playing a great game. If she can stay enough under the radar, one of the better female players in a long time.

2. Sam-I worry he gets a little too cocky (young 20’s male), but playing a good game.

3. Sierra-I think she’s in a good place, but I’ve felt the last few episodes she’s losing autonomy.

4. Rachel-She’s doing a solid job. Good social player and perceptive. Gonna be a big coup to say she escaped that disastrous draw.

5. Gabe-First week I’m thinking he’s a winning candidate. I thought he was going home, but his connections kept him over Tiyana when he’s the more dangerous player.

6. Andy-First week I’m thinking he’s a winning candidate. He’s probably too clumsy overall to win, but he’s playing the game and has moments where he knows what he’s doing.

I think Sol is playing a game that will be extremely tough to beat if he makes the final 3. He's made a ton of things happen and largely played with integrity.

Only if no one played a good game. I could see him as like a Gabler type of winner, but that type of game doesn’t win without two weak candidates sitting in the final two.

 

[Peasy]

Gotta think one of Rachel, Genevieve or Caroline are winning. Both Genevieve and Caroline kept going on about how big of a threat they think Rachel is, and clearly they were right in wanting to get her out this time around considering she had an idol no one knows about.

 

[shakes the clown]

it was interesting that Rachel played her shot in the dark, but kept her idol in her pocket. Why do you think she did that? Was she only kind of worried she would be voted out? It was a weird move, but I'm open to there being a good explanation that I'm not thinking of.


Like I said last week, Sam was going to pay for his comment about being ok with Andy being the back up plan. Him and Sierra played a bad game last night. Forming an alliance where it's 4 from one team and 3 from another is never going to sit well with the team of 3. S and S were way too confident in that alliance merge.

Genovieve's gameplay took a hit last night. She talked a big game about getting out Rachel, but was unable to convince anyone to go along with it.

Andy not being able to find a single bamboo tube was about the most predictable thing I've seen on this show all season. He is 100% incompetent in all competitions, even one as easy as that. That said I knew he would do good in the immunity challenge because he's one of those guys who is a terrible athlete but compensates by going to the gym and doing arm weights to make it look like he is an athlete. KNew he had a great arm strength to body weight ratio.

I was wondering about that too with her shot in the dark, shot in the darks barely work as it is and then the numbers for this one were even higher. I was sorta wondering if she did it because it would make her seem like not as good of a player in the eyes of the others and less of a threat now but until she says she did it for that reason I think it's like you said and was half a panic move.

my first guess about Rachel is that she knew she wasn't in trouble, but wanted to put on the image that she was hopeless and needed a lifeline. She has an idol which gives her a lot of secret power, but she wants to give off the look that she has no power.


My thoughts on the auction: it really wasn't an "auction" at all. It was just the person with the most money throwing their cash stack at the next reward. It wasn't an auction at all. Might as well be a lottery. Also there's barely any bad 'rewards' so the auction was boring.

 

[Peasy]

I think the shot in the dark play was pretty straight forward. She knew she was a target and suppose to go last week, so shes likely to expect something similar could happen at the next tribal. She has a SITD and an idol. Why use your idol before your SITD? They are essentially the same thing, one is just a way worse version and only has a 1/6 chance of working. She knew there was a big majority that could split the votes so her single vote is likely not going to do anything this tribal.

So she decided I might as well see if my SITD hits or not instead of just using the idol right away. Now, the sneaky thing that playing the SITD first does, is that it allows you to read everyone else there and to see their reactions to you using the SITD, and to what it ends up being. If she brings her scroll up, everyone has their poker face on, but then it shows not safe and all of a sudden you see a single person or multiple give off a sigh of relief, well then you could try and read it that they are voting for you tonight and you should play your idol. If no seemed to care that you played your SITD, then you probably know theres a decent chance theyre voting someone else tonight.

I thought it was a really smart way of using the SITD to get some guaranteed information because in the end, the SITD has a low probability of being useful anyways. Just my 2 cents.

I laughed at how pathetic Survivor has become when the red tribe said they hadn't used the fishing gear they had won until a week after the fact. Baby, come back. I miss you, old survivor.
