I think Cirie’s vote on Courtney is so good because it is just pure strategy. She had no funky little advantages, or immunity; the vote was entirely built on social expertise. Pure Littlefinger shit, I’ll tell ya.
I miss these kinds of votes, honestly. Now, there are like 4 active advantages at all times and it makes pulling off something like this impossibly complicated. The advantage obsession is actively killing the advanced strategy of survivor (more often than not).
@@crumblyburgers Exactly!! I hate all the advantage nonsense. The game was at it's best when there were a couple of idols floating around and pure strategy. The ONE thing you could always rely on was having a vote, but now there's risk your vote, control a vote, double vote blah blah on top of all the other dumb advantages. The game is broken and I don't really enjoy watching it now.
More than that, Daniele gets literally 0 credit for the move. Cirie and Daniele are in my opinion the most underrated duo. People just mad at Daniele for coming back at HvV
It’s just crazy how nobody besides the Tagi 4 even ACCIDENTALLY voted for the same person. The fact that the other 6 all somehow voted for someone different is crazy to me.
Another amazing thing about ciries move is that it sets up a final 3 for her where she is closest to both so they would each take her to final 2 but then Terry's idol screwed that up
I was brushing my teeth and basically inhaled mint toothpaste while laughing at your “so obnoxious, Shane threatened to kill her and faced zero repercussions” By far the funniest video you’ve made.
That Tony voting out Sophie vote was in my opinion the best single person survivor episode of all time with the extortion recovery, immunity win, then blindsiding your biggest threat! I mean what else can you ask for that was perfect and entertaining gameplay that only Tony could do
Before starting this video I knew Cirie's 3-2-1 vote on Courtney would be #1. It's a pure masterclass on how to manipulate the votes without the use of idols, extra votes, or other advantages. What makes her move all the better is the fact that Cirie was not immune and therefore this could have easily backfired on her and had her going home. If this move would've propelled her to winning the game then I would definitely put this as the greatest single move in Survivor history. It's definitely top 3 in my book. To me Tony's vote out of Sophie is #1.
Agree 100%. I think if someone other than Aras wins that Final 4 Immunity Cirie is likely our winner. Danielle wins they vote Aras out, Terry or Cirie wins Aras goes to fire-making against Danielle. In a Final 3 scenario Terry sucks at final immunity and whoever is left of Aras/Danielle likely take Cirie if they win and I think she beats both relatively easily. Aras might put up a fight but Cirie could easily just mention she saved his ass.
did she?? the idolgeddon plurality only happened because the idol holders knew that they were safe no matter what thanks to the Idols and didnt care about the vote.Were there no idols the vote might have gone to rocks or Cirie gets voted out for being the only one not in a do or die. IIRC the original plan was for a minority vote split between Aubrey and Tai as Brad was safe, Sarah had to play her legacy advantage and Troyzans idol. The only thing was, no one expected Tai to have 2 idols.
Maryanne voting out Omar was when I fully hopped on board the hype train for her to win. One of the best winners of the modern era and it isn't even close.
Being a foreigner, I can't really see the episodes the moment they happen, but I'm surprised that move didn't get more buzz out of the Survivor channels I follow here.
Tony’s blindside of Sophie was so crazy to watch because it kind of reminded me of his gameplay in Cagayan, except way more refined and well thought out. Instead of being all panicky and paranoid like in Cagayan, Tony based his move on strategy and amazing game sense. Like you said, he saw that Sophie was both his biggest jury threat and the player most likely to take a shot at him when given the chance. He saw an opportunity to take her out that would also help solidify his core four alliance with Ben and Denise, as well as connecting well with Michele, Jeremy and Nick. Literally the only person who was mad at him after the blindside was Sarah, and she obviously got over that in the end. This move really was brilliant from a social and strategic perspective! Sure, had Tony not won the following immunity he may have been in trouble, but the fact is he took full advantage of this move and benefitted him so greatly for the rest of the game!
I feel like as an honorable mention, you should talk about Australian Survivor (2017) episode 19 where Tessa got voted out on a 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 vote. this is incredible because she was voted out with only 33% of the vote, the lowest percentage ever (aside from Idols and advantages)
I LOVED THAT VOTE. One of the craziest vote-offs of all time. That said, it was an awful move and it did require a shit ton of luck with one of the members from the minority throwing their vote on one of their own (Which makes it even crazier because their plan shouldn’t have even worked & the players on the bottom should’ve won the revote)
@kharihammon9784 think the craziest of all time was in the most recent Australian Survivor (Heroes vs Villians) ep 7 I believe where Fraser got voted out.
@@ARedToilet I love that move and the best thing about that move is that George benefitted from all alternatives even if Simon did or didn’t play the idol or not & he came up with it on the spot!
I know this is probably limited to US survivor only, but I was totally expecting to see Aussie survivor's 3-2-2-2 vote, executed by Luke Jericho and Sarah
Cirie's a natural,at this game, actually at reality tv,she comes off as so charming and innocuous that many just cant believe she's a threat or dont want to believe she's a threat,The Traitors victory proved that.
I suggested this topic in an older video but a topic that I think you should do is a top 5 greatest survivor downfalls. A video for Individuals players ex. Ozzy from Fans Vs Favorites, Jon from San Juan Del Sur, Another video would a whole alliance ex. The four horsemen from Fiji, the Women’s alliance from Vanuatu.
I mean.... it made sense for Mike/Jonathan to want to target Romeo because everyone assumed Lindsay would have braincells and play it for Omar to guarantee herself a very high chance of winning (sending Jonathan home) and they didn't want each other or Maryanne out soo..... Romeo it was.
You should do a video about best/worst pre merge tribal councils and then best/worst post merge tribals. The 42 Vati tribial made me really want this possible video😁
Maryanne annoyed me so much in the beginning. Her giving up her idol at the I'm not voting for Drea tribal council, showed me what a person of strong moral character she was. The Omar vote showed me what a shrewd strategist she was. Her overwhelming exurberance which annoyed me in the beginning, made me love her at the end.
I feel like it bares mentioning that Mike is the first one to bring up an Omar blindside, before Lindsey wins immunity. Because of her idol he backs down, because really she should have played that idol at its expiration. Nothing to detract Maryanne on this move, but blunders by Mike and Lindsey and cost both there games to fall, and Hera to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Cirie pulled off big moves be she did a lot of subtle maneuvering. She knew where she stood and how the other players thought. The 3-2-1 Courtney vote changed everything. She likely would have still come in 4th if she went along with Terry’s plan or Shane’s plan for Courtney, but it took a fire making tie breaker to take her out at 4 with the Courtesy move and it made her enough of a beloved player that she was an actual favorite in Micronesia, an actual hero in Heroes v Villains, and a legit Game Changer in Game Changers.
Feel like I have to mention Australian survivor 2017 final 9 vote, where sarah, Luke, and Jericho sent Tessa home in a 3-2-2-2 vote. Absolutely mental vote that didn’t work out well for them as a group as 2 of them went home immediately after in retaliation from michelle
Casaya is the most dysfunctional and legendary that every single member is legendary in their own way! Minus the first boot and that women who the boring tribe!
Maryanne,is amazing,I thought she was a lamb, against wolves who didn't stand a good chance of winning,she turned out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing credit to her for knowing how to play up her nerdy wacky traits to hide actually being a surprisingly calculated strategic excellent player👏👍
I always thought the Omar boot was not just a good move by Maryanne, but a dumb move for Omar and Lindsay's using the latter's idol. I think it was only until f6 too?
Any time someone talks about any of Tony’s great plays it makes me so happy. He truly is the GOAT in my own personal opinion, plus he just seems like a rad guy as well. He’s just great television, that’s for sure!
Sad irony: Had Danielle stuck with the Final 3 deal she made with Terry and Courtney, she still wins final immunity and votes off Terry, but is in the end with Courtney instead, and likely wins.
I'd be really interested in seeing a video of the 5 greatest moves in survivor history if you felt you could make the list. My Thoughts on some contenders: Rich stepping down in the final immunity. The Original 3-2-1 as mentioned here Russell leading Tyson into voting for Parv in HvV (I am not a Russell fan but I think this is too often credited as Tyson being dumb rather than Russell playing well). Tony convincing Woo to take him to final tribal. Maryanne's FTC idol reveal (might be a hot-take but it was so impactful to me).
Even Tony's ladder was perfect. He branded himself as just a silly man, just a goofy little guy, and too few realized how deceiving that was until it was too late.
2:23 Bro totally forgot about Bobby drinking all the wine the tribe had and then dunked on Courtney cause she didn't get any ("I feel bad that I drank theirs, but not about drinking yours" 🤣). I missed Bobby, but I still thought he brought it on himself.
Oh my God, Ive just thought of one of the only plurality idol plays if this counts. The dynamic was 5-4 between Vavau (Craig, Andrew, Sue, Conner, JL) and Aganoa (Phoebe, Rohan, Kat, Kristie). Vavau put 5 votes on Phoebe, who used an idol. Aganoa planned to vote Sue out to even up the numbers, however because Rohan and Kat hated each other, they both turned on each other, and Kristie suded with Kat. This saw Rohan get idoled out by his own idol by a vote of 2-1-1
Australian survivor 2017 final 9 Australian survivor 2019 final 5 Australian survivor 2021 final 4 Australian survivor 2023 final 18 All really good votes too
Wait, correct me if I'm misremembering, but Mike and Jonathan were in on Maryanne's plan. They put their votes on Romeo as part of the split plan. The show just didn't show this because they want us to doubt Omar will go.
IIRC, it was a 5-3-1 vote (majority, not plurality). The majority were splitting the votes 3-3 with the girls voting one person, guys on the other but Woo & Tony flipped to the 3 players on the bottom making it a 5 majority.
Tony was great but Cire’s 3-2-1 vote is legendary! Tony in my opinion already had the game won at this point! This was just getting rid of the only person who could beat possibly beat him!
@@cousinmose3193 There both great moves! But I think that if Sophie face at final tribal council she wouldn’t beat him! Tony was a good move! But Cire 3-2-1 vote was a good move to she got rid of the person who was guaranteed take up one of the final two spot for two different people opening up her and her allies chance to win! Aras and Danielle made the final two and their was the other two votes in the 3-2-1 vote! Their both great moves form two legendary players!
I think the real strength of Cirie's 3-2-1 is how razor thin the margin, and how volatile the players were. Tony's moves was impressive without a doubt, smartly executed and slick enough to send Sophie home with an idol in her pocket. Tony had some slight advantages that round, not only having immunity, but working with players who are generally rational. Cirie had neither. Now she was definitely safe that round so immunity is less of an issue, but she had to work with colleagues who were much less willing to bend. Shane, Terry, and Courtney, half the tribe, were all unmovable despite all three having a great relationship with Cirie. Shane and Terry felt they were now running things and could not bend, and Courntey wanted on the Terri train. That leaves Danielle and Aras. Aras? This is a good move, game advancing, plus he was the target. For Danielle (the second best player on Panama) she had a real chance to go to final three with Terry and Courtney, and win as long as she wins final immunity. Cirie had one option, to convince Danielle that she had her best interest in mind, and it was beautiful
@@aronpuma5962 Okay I agree with that! Shane and Terry was taking Courtney to final two! Aras was the target and definitely would gone home if Cire didn’t get 3-2-1 vote! Danielle second best player in Panama! I don’t know about that? Who number one for you?
I love Cirie's move, but my biggest problem with it, after all this time, is still the same thing. Yes, everyone wanted to take courtney to the end for an easy beat. But she was also literally cirie's only option to win the game. Cirie beats nobody else that season, at all. So yeah, its an impressive move, but it sinks her game completely. She really should have pulled the trigger on shane instead
You honestly think Cirie Vs Shane or Cirie Vs Danielle would've resulted in Cirie losses? I definitely think she loses to Terry, and it might be a close contest with Aras.
@@timothyloux2294 I definitely think she loses against Terry, and wins against Danielle / Courtney / Shane. I think Aras Vs Cirie is close because their games were so closely intertwined, in a JT/Stephen or Sophie/Coach or Tina/Colby etc kind of way, so it could purely come down to the FTC arguments and also just who the jury instinctively likes more as a person.
I love your videos, but can you PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF JEFF PROBST stop with the annoying repetitive background track? It almost makes me want to see Richard Hatch back on Survivor.
The Maryanne one should not be here, it was a split vote between Omar & Romeo. Jonathan turned on Omar because of telling people about the idol nullifier, they knew it was 3-2, it wasn't Maryanne going behind everybodys backs
Your definition of Plurality vote is not quite correct. It is when the person with the most votes is not the majority. Cerie’s 3-2-1 to get Courtney out is an example of that. Courtney had exactly half the votes.
Yeah, that segment really bugged me. Not only do you have an entire season to learn how his name is pronounced, it's not even spelled that way to throw Luke some kind of bone.
@@FlaggedALot I don't know why I even bothered, but I polled my family on how his name was pronounced, and we all agreed it's 100% O-MAR, you know, the way it's spelled????
I disagree with the MaryAnne vote. I thought the move was sooooooo lucky then, and I still think it now. Lindsey had her amulet, which was wide knowledge and (because Hai and Drea were on the jury) was an immunity idol. It expired at final 6. Lindsey had no knowledge of the vote against Omar, had no plans to take him out, and he was a loyal ally to her. Lindsey had immunity this round, and so it made ZERO sense for her to not play the amulet for Omar. Mike and Jonathan had the right idea. Now was the time to play it safe so that Lindsey and Omar do not decide who goes home. Sure Mike had an idol, but he had no idea whom Lindsey and Omar were voting for. It sucks that the goat would have had to be voted out, making Final Tribal harder, but I believe it was 100% the right move. MaryAnne made a hard gamble (it payed off), but a stupid one. She could have very easily gone home because of that move, and it would have been labeled a massive mistake.
This is the opposite of the asinine dicksucking argument "J.T. didn't make a bad move cause what if it worked?" argument. Y'all can't have it both ways
I think Maryanne desperately needed to do something big. A lot of the people on the cast looked at her as just a big personality without much game to her. Had she not takes that risk, I think she loses the game to Mike, Lindsay or Omar.
@@FlaggedALot She absolutely does if they beat her to the end or take her even. It appalls me that the jury looked past the depth of the move, and failed to realize how short-sighted and shallow a move it was. MaryAnne had no good moves there, but I believe she picked the worse option and somehow it worked. A move made from desperation does not a good move make.
@@chrisadair4565 Then what do you think she should have done? Voted off Romeo or Jonathan two of the only players she could have beaten? I don’t see how she wins without taking out Omar the way she did at 6. Yes it was a big risk but to call it a worse move than voting out Romeo or Johnathan is flat out delusion. She would have to sit next to at least one of Mike Lindsay and Omar and would have had no moves to show the jury. Maybe she beats Mike anyways but it would have been closer and would have required Mike to bomb, and her to deliver an all time great performance, and while it does play out that way in reality, Maryanne had no idea it was going to happen that way.
@@FlaggedALot Omar isn't winning, thanks to Drea's vile attitude planting seeds at Ponderosa claiming that he was a racist and he wanted to take two white players (Lindsay and Johnathan) to FTC, it was revealed in a RHAP podcast that CBS themselves had to issue a cease and desist, while the interview is no longer available, there is a video that talks about Drea's nastiness. When Omar was blindsided, Omar claimed that Hai went up to Omar and told him along the lines of "you're thankful that you're on the jury as we would have embarrassed you at FTC"
It is important to note that Omar isn't winning, thanks to Drea's vile attitude planting seeds at Ponderosa claiming that he was a racist and he wanted to take two white players (Lindsay and Johnathan) to FTC. Omar revealed it in a RHAP podcast that CBS themselves had to issue a cease and desist (removing the video from existence), while the interview is no longer available, there is a video that talks about Drea's nastiness. It got so bad that even r/survivor tried to cover up the entire case by blocking people from even bringing it up. When Omar was blindsided and was sent to the jury, Omar claimed that Hai went up to Omar at Ponderosa and told him along the lines of "you're thankful that you're on the jury as we would have embarrassed you at FTC"
I think Cirie’s vote on Courtney is so good because it is just pure strategy. She had no funky little advantages, or immunity; the vote was entirely built on social expertise. Pure Littlefinger shit, I’ll tell ya.

Worse than an outlaster vote
It’s just crazy how nobody besides the Tagi 4 even ACCIDENTALLY voted for the same person. The fact that the other 6 all somehow voted for someone different is crazy to me.

@@MistaUnicornhat is crazy and dump! I mean I know season one but still no one else though if we vote together we could win a million dollars!
It’s easily one of the most memorable merge votes of all time
Cirie's 3-2-1 vote was
I’m way more impressed that she convinced Danielle to throw her winning scenario away if anything.
I love Gervase voting for Greg before remembering he has immunity then crossing it out and writing OOPS
I'm impressed that that's never happened since then.
Another amazing thing about ciries move is that it sets up a final 3 for her where she is closest to both so they would each take her to final 2 but then Terry's idol screwed that up

Everyone loves a good plurality vote
What’s crazy is Cirie pulled it off again before idolgeddon happened.
did she?? the idolgeddon plurality only happened because the idol holders knew that they were safe no matter what thanks to the Idols and didnt care about the vote.Were there no idols the vote might have gone to rocks or Cirie gets voted out for being the only one not in a do or die.

Yes! 3-2-2-2 was something else! Luke was actually good at Survivor and just got played by everyone else!
It was iconic, chaotic and impressive as hell but it wasn’t a good move, tbh.
"Resting on his laurels, like... well, Laurel, actually" will never not be my favorite Idoled Out line ever from now on. 😂
😂
The 4-3-2 against Debbie in Kaoh Rong was very good as well to get around the super idol
Tessa's elim in survivor AU was crazy
Courtney getting blindsided was iconic. One of the best😂
I love how niche this video topic is.
And us watching this really shows how much we love survivor.
I’m guessing Bobby, Gretchen, Courtney, Omar, and maybe an honorable mention to Reed in stick to the plan
Edit: I’m only on Game Changers so far so

I was really hoping he was gonna mentions Luke’s 3-2-2-2 vote out in AUS Survivor on Tess. Only vote to truly rival Cirie’s 3-2-1!
I always thought the Omar boot was not just a good move by Maryanne, but a dumb move for Omar and Lindsay's using the latter's idol. I think it was only until f6 too?
Yes
I loved Sophie I think she was so underrated before WAW
"Mergered" got me :P
love your content! this idea is so unique
Sophie when she won the first time is a nerdy 5.5

Luke has best plurality vote ever in Australian survivor final 5
Coming back ok this video i feel it misses the 3-2-2-2 blindside on Tessa, on the Australian version
okay I laughed for about a good 30 seconds at "Sorry, Jenna. He has to hook up with ladies whose names start with A-I before he gets to you."
I love Plurality votes on Survivor! Their fun to watch!
Honorable Mention to Fishbach's 4-3-2 blindside byfar my favorite blindside from Cambodia
Kelly and Sean were the only two people at the Borneo merge(r) who could receive a vote and did not lol
Sad irony:
Had Danielle stuck with the Final 3 deal she made with Terry and Courtney, she still wins final immunity and votes off Terry, but is in the end with Courtney instead, and likely wins.
I'd be really interested in seeing a video of the 5 greatest moves in survivor history if you felt you could make the list.
My Thoughts on some contenders:
Rich stepping down in the final immunity.
The Original 3-2-1 as mentioned here
Russell leading Tyson into voting for Parv in HvV (I am not a Russell fan but I think this is too often credited as Tyson being dumb rather than Russell playing well).
Tony convincing Woo to take him to final tribal.
Maryanne's FTC idol reveal (might be a hot-take but it was so impactful to me).
6:32 actually 🥸 there were two generations of pokemon by the time survivor came out
4:02 LMAO, only one member of La Mina made it onto the DVD cover
the 3-2-2-2 vote in australian survivor season 4 should’ve at least been mentioned
Does this guy even include Australian survivor in these videos
I’d say it doesn’t because it wasn’t really a good move for the blindsiders like Luke & Sarah.
Even Tony's ladder was perfect. He branded himself as just a silly man, just a goofy little guy, and too few realized how deceiving that was until it was too late.
Woah its cool to see the newer seasons casts
2:23 Bro totally forgot about Bobby drinking all the wine the tribe had and then dunked on Courtney cause she didn't get any ("I feel bad that I drank theirs, but not about drinking yours" 🤣).
I missed Bobby, but I still thought he brought it on himself.
Oh my God, Ive just thought of one of the only plurality idol plays if this counts.
The dynamic was 5-4 between Vavau (Craig, Andrew, Sue, Conner, JL) and Aganoa (Phoebe, Rohan, Kat, Kristie). Vavau put 5 votes on Phoebe, who used an idol. Aganoa planned to vote Sue out to even up the numbers, however because Rohan and Kat hated each other, they both turned on each other, and Kristie suded with Kat. This saw Rohan get idoled out by his own idol by a vote of 2-1-1
Australian survivor 2017 final 9
Australian survivor 2019 final 5
Australian survivor 2021 final 4
Australian survivor 2023 final 18
All really good votes too
Tony’s move on Sophie was the best plurality vote, imo.
Welp, we got another one to add to the list!
Did not expect the Electoral College shade 😂
Tony: “I’m gonna be golden if I can pull this off.”
Wait, correct me if I'm misremembering, but Mike and Jonathan were in on Maryanne's plan. They put their votes on Romeo as part of the split plan. The show just didn't show this because they want us to doubt Omar will go.
Pokemon gold and silver came out in 1999 so there's another 100 pokemon you're missing lol
"Utilising otherwise useless extra votes, both advantage and player"
I know Romeo is in a corner crying somewhere
How dare you besmirch the ostrich tee.
What about the LJ vote in Cagayan? That was absolutely GENIUS! Tony is truly the strategy King of Survivor
IIRC, it was a 5-3-1 vote (majority, not plurality). The majority were splitting the votes 3-3 with the girls voting one person, guys on the other but Woo & Tony flipped to the 3 players on the bottom making it a 5 majority.
A-Z voting is great for Zane until he gets shut out at Final Tribal.
12:09 You missed an opportunity to say "Cirie-lously". 🙃
Tbh idk the advantage/appeal of plurality votess
Actually I'm pretty sure Pokemon Gold and Silver came out before Season 1 so there was more than the original pokedex.
6:47 Generation 2 of Pokemon came out in 1999.
Extremely nitpicky but I am a nerd and a loser.
I apologize.
Can't help but feel like you fumbled the bag on this one. Cire's 3-2-1 is great, but you clearly chose Nostolgia here. Tony's move won him the game!
Tony was great but Cire’s 3-2-1 vote is legendary! Tony in my opinion already had the game won at this point! This was just getting rid of the only person who could beat possibly beat him!
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 Her move being "iconic" should not make it rank higher than a better move
@@cousinmose3193 There both great moves! But I think that if Sophie face at final tribal council she wouldn’t beat him! Tony was a good move! But Cire 3-2-1 vote was a good move to she got rid of the person who was guaranteed take up one of the final two spot for two different people opening up her and her allies chance to win! Aras and Danielle made the final two and their was the other two votes in the 3-2-1 vote! Their both great moves form two legendary players!
I think the real strength of Cirie's 3-2-1 is how razor thin the margin, and how volatile the players were. Tony's moves was impressive without a doubt, smartly executed and slick enough to send Sophie home with an idol in her pocket. Tony had some slight advantages that round, not only having immunity, but working with players who are generally rational.
Cirie had neither. Now she was definitely safe that round so immunity is less of an issue, but she had to work with colleagues who were much less willing to bend. Shane, Terry, and Courtney, half the tribe, were all unmovable despite all three having a great relationship with Cirie. Shane and Terry felt they were now running things and could not bend, and Courntey wanted on the Terri train. That leaves Danielle and Aras. Aras? This is a good move, game advancing, plus he was the target. For Danielle (the second best player on Panama) she had a real chance to go to final three with Terry and Courtney, and win as long as she wins final immunity. Cirie had one option, to convince Danielle that she had her best interest in mind, and it was beautiful
@@aronpuma5962 Okay I agree with that! Shane and Terry was taking Courtney to final two! Aras was the target and definitely would gone home if Cire didn’t get 3-2-1 vote! Danielle second best player in Panama! I don’t know about that? Who number one for you?
Where is Debbie where is Brian C?
The best is from Au Survivor a planned 3-2-2-2
Was gonna like the video, until you made fun of the Ostrich shirt. How dare you!
Sydney should’ve been on here
The best is the 3-2-2-2 vote from Australian Survivor 2017
Video idea after latest episode: can we do a “top 5 times someone told the truth but nobody believed it” 😂
we not going to talk about how boston Rob blindsided Matt. it was a 4 -2
I love Cirie's move, but my biggest problem with it, after all this time, is still the same thing.
Yes, everyone wanted to take courtney to the end for an easy beat.
But she was also literally cirie's only option to win the game. Cirie beats nobody else that season, at all. So yeah, its an impressive move, but it sinks her game completely. She really should have pulled the trigger on shane instead
You honestly think Cirie Vs Shane or Cirie Vs Danielle would've resulted in Cirie losses? I definitely think she loses to Terry, and it might be a close contest with Aras.
I believe this is incorrect. She probably loses to Aras and definitely loses to Terry, but she beats Danielle and Courtney, and probably Shane.
@@timothyloux2294 I definitely think she loses against Terry, and wins against Danielle / Courtney / Shane. I think Aras Vs Cirie is close because their games were so closely intertwined, in a JT/Stephen or Sophie/Coach or Tina/Colby etc kind of way, so it could purely come down to the FTC arguments and also just who the jury instinctively likes more as a person.
The merge boot of season 1 should absolutely be included
i’ve never been this early in my life 🎉
I love your videos, but can you PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF JEFF PROBST stop with the annoying repetitive background track? It almost makes me want to see Richard Hatch back on Survivor.
The Maryanne one should not be here, it was a split vote between Omar & Romeo. Jonathan turned on Omar because of telling people about the idol nullifier, they knew it was 3-2, it wasn't Maryanne going behind everybodys backs
Nah
@@olivermensinger6022 What do you mean nah? Jonathan even said at FTC he was targeting Omar that vote and its even on the Wiki as a split vote
i thought you were carson lol
Your definition of Plurality vote is not quite correct. It is when the person with the most votes is not the majority. Cerie’s 3-2-1 to get Courtney out is an example of that. Courtney had exactly half the votes.
Long Live King Tony!!!
Tyson changing his vote and going out on a 4-3-2 vote. Russell is the Goat.
Tony is indeed the best player of all time
No, he's not.
omER
Yeah, that segment really bugged me. Not only do you have an entire season to learn how his name is pronounced, it's not even spelled that way to throw Luke some kind of bone.
@@rokeYouuer they literally pronounce it the way Luke did for the entire season???
@@FlaggedALot I don't know why I even bothered, but I polled my family on how his name was pronounced, and we all agreed it's 100% O-MAR, you know, the way it's spelled????
@@rokeYouuer I guess you and your family didn’t pay much attention to the season then.
I know you don't include survivor AU, but the Tessa blindside should be number 1
I disagree with the MaryAnne vote. I thought the move was sooooooo lucky then, and I still think it now. Lindsey had her amulet, which was wide knowledge and (because Hai and Drea were on the jury) was an immunity idol. It expired at final 6. Lindsey had no knowledge of the vote against Omar, had no plans to take him out, and he was a loyal ally to her. Lindsey had immunity this round, and so it made ZERO sense for her to not play the amulet for Omar. Mike and Jonathan had the right idea. Now was the time to play it safe so that Lindsey and Omar do not decide who goes home. Sure Mike had an idol, but he had no idea whom Lindsey and Omar were voting for. It sucks that the goat would have had to be voted out, making Final Tribal harder, but I believe it was 100% the right move. MaryAnne made a hard gamble (it payed off), but a stupid one. She could have very easily gone home because of that move, and it would have been labeled a massive mistake.
This is the opposite of the asinine dicksucking argument "J.T. didn't make a bad move cause what if it worked?" argument. Y'all can't have it both ways
I think Maryanne desperately needed to do something big. A lot of the people on the cast looked at her as just a big personality without much game to her. Had she not takes that risk, I think she loses the game to Mike, Lindsay or Omar.
@@FlaggedALot She absolutely does if they beat her to the end or take her even. It appalls me that the jury looked past the depth of the move, and failed to realize how short-sighted and shallow a move it was. MaryAnne had no good moves there, but I believe she picked the worse option and somehow it worked. A move made from desperation does not a good move make.
@@chrisadair4565 Then what do you think she should have done? Voted off Romeo or Jonathan two of the only players she could have beaten? I don’t see how she wins without taking out Omar the way she did at 6. Yes it was a big risk but to call it a worse move than voting out Romeo or Johnathan is flat out delusion. She would have to sit next to at least one of Mike Lindsay and Omar and would have had no moves to show the jury. Maybe she beats Mike anyways but it would have been closer and would have required Mike to bomb, and her to deliver an all time great performance, and while it does play out that way in reality, Maryanne had no idea it was going to happen that way.
@@FlaggedALot Omar isn't winning, thanks to Drea's vile attitude planting seeds at Ponderosa claiming that he was a racist and he wanted to take two white players (Lindsay and Johnathan) to FTC, it was revealed in a RHAP podcast that CBS themselves had to issue a cease and desist, while the interview is no longer available, there is a video that talks about Drea's nastiness. When Omar was blindsided, Omar claimed that Hai went up to Omar and told him along the lines of "you're thankful that you're on the jury as we would have embarrassed you at FTC"
It is important to note that Omar isn't winning, thanks to Drea's vile attitude planting seeds at Ponderosa claiming that he was a racist and he wanted to take two white players (Lindsay and Johnathan) to FTC.
Omar revealed it in a RHAP podcast that CBS themselves had to issue a cease and desist (removing the video from existence), while the interview is no longer available, there is a video that talks about Drea's nastiness. It got so bad that even r/survivor tried to cover up the entire case by blocking people from even bringing it up.
When Omar was blindsided and was sent to the jury, Omar claimed that Hai went up to Omar at Ponderosa and told him along the lines of "you're thankful that you're on the jury as we would have embarrassed you at FTC"
Wow i haven't been this early for a video in a minute
