SURVIVOR GECKO MY BELOVED

[brionbroadway]

if i cried on the mat before the first challenge, then couldn't climb a ladder, i would go into witness protection

[white-weasel]

Survivor 46 has had so much balls to the walls insane (read: iconic) shit. Like ALL of this happened in one season:

Jelinsky quitting the Sweat task within like an hour of starting it and then throwing the hour glass in frustration

“Several means seven, not four”

Everyone clowning on Jelinsky (including Jeff!!!) for the rest of the season about the above conviction

“I didn’t come to win a million dollars, I came here to win a million hearts”

Bhanu cursing God for putting him on Survivor in the first place if he was going to be voted out

Bhanu legit getting on his hands and knees, begging Tiff not to vote him out and Tiff telling him to stand up because he’s a grown man

Really everything involving the Bhanu boot with him running around the island

Jem deciding to plant the Beware Advantage, but not planting anything below it, leading to Siga digging a massive hole and basically uprooting a whole bush

Venus taking credit for the Soda blindside, which pissed off Tevin who wanted to take credit for the Soda blindside, which pissed off Liz who wanted to take credit for the Soda blindside (or really just everyone fighting like children over “whose move” something was)

Q overanalyzing a game of hide and seek (Big mistake!)

Q blowing up tribal and asking to be voted out, only for Tevin to go home

The entire Applebee’s reward fiasco

Probably missed some stuff because of just how jam packed this season is and really hope the last few episodes deliver

[haunex]

Y’all will never be the Lulu losers

[inhkeart]

ok but maria saying she wanted to give the reward to someone who physically needs it and then choosing Q, the guy who just had a food reward, instead of liz? or even charlie or venus? if she felt Q was best for her game i can respect that but own up to it…venus was right to call it a farce smh

if they were on survivor-

Scout 

would probably get screwed over by the edit and get portrayed as a moron who annoys everyone and is only ok at challenges. but in reality he'd be pretty tight with the rest of his tribe. 

totally hogs confessionals (on purpose) and talks over people a lot at tribal council (on accident) 

might not make it all the way to merge, but would absolutely be invited back for an All Stars season.

Soldier

 medically evacuated. 

he’ll get brought back for another season to redeem himself and get medically evacuated a second time.

Pyro 

no social game, no game plan, just came to have a good time. 

better than people would think at challenges, but wouldn’t do well at tribal council and could easily be one of the first voted out. 

but if by some chance they made it to the merge, in theory, they would dominate endurance challenges by just entering their happy place and vibing out until everyone else breaks concentration.

Heavy 

challenge beast, no question. 

great at catching food for the tribe, and will take the greatest share of the food every meal. (no one would dare try to stop him.) 

great at challenges, and is liked by the rest of his tribe, but not the best social game. (not too talkative and wouldn’t really understand when he’s being manipulated and by extension, can’t manipulate others) 

would likely be blindsided before he could make it far past the merge. 

would get pretty teary-eyed if he made it to the message from home/family visit episode.

Demo 

fan favorite, no question

a total wild card when it comes to challenges, and wins a lot of individual immunities

mostly here for comic relief, but would have tons of people rooting for him to make it to the end. just like scout, he would for sure be wanted back for an all stars season. 

can be a little lazy about helping out around camp, but people don’t really care since he’s so fun to have around.

loves to fight dirty during physical challenges and probably will return home with a bunch of parasites.

engineer 

he is the greatest at solving challenge puzzles, but can’t keep up in water challenges for the life of him. 

very likeable to audience and other players. unfortunately would have a major target on his back during the late-merge on account of having many friends on the jury.

other than heavy, he’s one of the best hunters and a great provider for the rest of the team.

would look like a completely different person by the end of the game vs when he started on account of losing like 25 pounds, borderline sun-poisoning, bug bites, and growing an entire beard.

medic

agent of chaos and constantly getting in fights with the other members of the tribe (for funsies). 

can make allies just as easily as he can backstab them (also for funsies). 

gets on people’s nerves a lot at camp, but his smooth-talking give him a HELL of a social game. 

the most insane confessionals, no one knows what he’s on about, but he’s got spirit

on the better side of average for challenges, stronger than most in water and at solving puzzles, even if he’s not great at obstacle courses or other pure brute strength challenges. 

i feel like he’d also be pretty good at finding immunity idols. would have a huge fan cult-following.

sniper 

remember that one guy unnerved the rest of the tribe by spending an uncomfortable amount of time sharpening his machete while staring at the other people on his tribe eerily? that be him. 

alright at challenges, but very weak in the water. would do well trying to keep a low-profile and keep a target off his back. 

also would probably have a considerable cult-following.

spy

just here to blindside people and betray his allies, he doesn’t care about the money. 

does not help out at ALL around camp. really annoying and smug monologs during his confessionals.

he could get pretty far in the game, but even if he were to make it all the way to the final 3, no one would vote for him after playing such a cheap, backstab-y game. 

he would be very good at challenge puzzles, and deciphering messages. also great at finding immunity idols, and uses them just right. ( which is to say, right away because everyone wants him gone so fucking bad)

miss pauling

 hot take, but i think she’d be most likely to win. 

she can read people so well, is underestimated by others and would also be great at pitting people against each other without them finding out she was behind it all.

a decent fisher and could be counted on to bring food home for the rest of the tribe and wouldn’t require as much food as others. 

would get and underdog storyline

saxton hale

can’t really see him as a player, more likely he’d be jeff probst.

administrator

originally part of the game-designers, but got banned after her “challenges” kept killing people

[thesweetnessofspring]

Another Survivor/Hunger Games parallel--in more recent seasons, the contestants are lifetime fans of the show and many of them straight-up train for it. Working out, lighting fires, studying previous seasons for strategies. One guy currently on the show built a Survivor training camp in his backyard with puzzles and obstacles and whatnot.

Suzanne predicted Careers in Survivor way back in 2008 when the contestants still got mad at each other for betrayals and took everything so personally.

[universe-of-peoples]

I will always be a Liz defender for what happened in last nights episode. Everyone’s out here attacking her for acting entitled, but have YOU ever not eaten for 18+ days before? Do you know what that does to your brain? That’s over 2 weeks with no food! None of the contestants are working at their highest brainpower in this game, but none of them are on her level right now. The fuck are you talking about “entitlement”. Have a little compassion. Girl hit an emotional breaking point at a completely understandable point.

No person would act like she did under normal circumstances, but she is NOT! UNDER! NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES! Girl was already nearing her breaking point, and then they threw her the emotional curveball of designing the perfect reward for her. Anyone in her shoes would be upset under normal circumstances, and under her very ABNORMAL circumstances, her reaction was 100% justified.

Smh “entitlement”. At least TRY to have some semblance of empathy y’all.

[its-murderous-business]

Every new era survivor finale has the following:

- a man who is dumb and wasn’t ever seen as a threat bc he did nothing all season

- a woman half the internet hates for reasons that are unclear to me but is a genuine badass

- and an extremely buff person who was great at challenges but maybe didn’t have the best strategic game

Bonus points if one of them had a very good strategic game but is just incapable of expressing it to the jury for some reason

[bonelessenthusiast]

on survivor 46 you can only be voted out if you find an idol

[awigglycultist]

[brionbroadway]

"i go over to the raft. i strip down to my underwear." in a million years i would not have predicted the second sentence.

[white-weasel]

I have an actual nuanced opinion about the whole Survivor 46 reward blowup situation (that mainly highlights the fact that a lot of it’s on production and they’ve kinda been irresponsible imo) but also I cannot lie and say I’m not laughing that this all happened over eating at Applebee’s

[haunex]

Jelinsky when there is something mildly difficult:

[inhkeart]

WHAT is in the sand this season why is no one playing their idols 😭 rip tiff u were my #1
