  • Million dollar mistake. It seemingly happens once or twice a season to a big name player who had the game in the bag, until they blew it. Today we are looking at 5 times this happened on Survivor.

    Cirie didn't rob herself in Micronesia. Production robbed Cirie with the surprise final two. It's a shame because it was unnecessary. There are other ways to deal with production disruptions due to quits or medevacs. They could have made the final four immunity challenge a reward challenge with the winner getting an advantage in the final immunity challenge. The challenge that they used in Micronesia was the same one they used in Philippines. They could have just given Amanda the same advantage Malcolm had.

    I believe Sarah cost herself a million dollars in WAW. She took Ben out at Final five instead of Michele. At final four Natalie wins and puts Tony and Ben in fire where Ben obviously beats Tony. Sarah has so many jury votes there. I think she lost a million dollars based on that move at final five…

      Tony winning makes him a huge threat in Game Changers causing him to be voted out second and letting Sarah shine in Game Changers. Woo is also cast for Cambodia Second Chance. Tony learns from his gameplay in Game Changers and learns to lower his threat level and gameplay, leading him to win Winners at War and the second two time winner
      If Woo takes Kass, Tony is likely on the ballot for Second Chance, likely gets on, but has such a big threat that he likely does not win that season

    If Wu takes Kass instead of Tony, the season that seemed to be finally dispelling the unwelcome spirit of the Dark Ages that had dragged on for years ends with this frenetic, brilliant player who was making the whole thing possible denied his well-deserved and extremely satisfying victory by a last-minute rule change. The same thing that had happened to Cirie, but at least back then Parvati was a worthy champion in her own right. Tony sitting in the jury box needing to choose between two also-rans would be a bitter pill to swallow that would sap away the good will the season had earned at a point in history where it desperately needed to build on that momentum. So let's stop abusing poor Wu for not denying us the very thing we complain we don't see enough (the best player at FTC), he may have saved the show.
