OMG. Bhanu says Wackadoodle!

I guess we now know for sure that Yanu wins...

"You had to know which was tribe Wackadoodles"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 08:25 PM
I mean, yes this makes it even more certain but we had the idea anyway.
"Bhanu's Panic."
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 08:14 PM
Instead of «I think therefore I am» I feel Bhanu would have phrased it: «I worry therefore I was.»

Have we ever had such an insecure player. I mean, he's not facing a vote and he isn't even the next target but he is making himself that target.

"Too Many DAMN Puzzles"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 08:24 PM
When every season sees at least one contestant that has a roomful of puzzle replicas, you know Survivor has become too formulaic. Send them on searches in the jungles for rewards and immunity instead of damn idols and we'd get rid of puzzles also.

Funny: Hunter doesn't want to be targeted for being smart but Venus targets him because he's just a friendly chap...

"FOUR Days Ago?!"
Posted by Sheldor on 03-13-24 at 08:25 PM
A flash back in Episode 3 (Day 6) to FOUR Days Ago? To show Jem finding the Beware Advantage.

I'd say Siga is going to Lose and got to Tribal Council.

Probably Moriah like you picked Michel.

Hoping for a blindside of Ben since Jem is working with Moriah.

We've had scenes from the day before but rarely from 4 days ago. Of course, we've had post-merger confessionals shown before the merger but they don't tell us.

2 out of 3 beware messages were found by women which is fairly rare. Add Mariah's extra vote and women are doing very well.

Interesting that Siga comes in second and is not in danger and now they decide to show us Jem finding the Beware Advantage which happened way back in Episode 1?!
"What up with Wackadoodles Win?"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 08:41 PM
I mean how can we guess if they lie to us? Who lies on Survivor?

Can I change my vote to Kenzie?

"RE: What up with Wackadoodles Win?"
Posted by Sheldor on 03-13-24 at 08:43 PM
LOL!

Yeah, that's not fair to lie to us!

At first, I thought when Hunter pulled off the dominant win for Nami after Liz and Venus and even Tevin struggled that maybe Hunter was going to pick up Bhanu's phrase and say "Wackadoodles Win"

Maybe Bhanu wins something on the Journey and yells "Wackadoodles Win"?!

"Did you know that Liz is God!"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 08:56 PM
Bhanu said god sent him on this journey but I heard liz say his name so, ipso facto, Liz is God.

Although I would prefer no advantage, I like this change in format. I was expecting someone to let Bhanu have his choice. But now we have to wait for the break to see which of the three has the white rock and which pair competes.

If I understood, it will be individual challenges where both can win, not a head-to-head comp.

"RE: Did you know that Liz is God!"
Posted by Sheldor on 03-13-24 at 09:05 PM
Yeah, I thought Liz might say to Ben to let Bhanu have the White rock.

Production needs to change how they test these challenges as the Survivors are not even coming close to solving the most recent puzzles but the Dream Team must have finished them.

"Kenzie is teed up and ready to send home"

LAST EDITED ON 03-13-24 AT 09:11 PM (EST)

Yanu has driver in hand and Kenzie's head is on the tee: Fore!

The other two tribes are going to be shocked` Bhanu is going to be thought as Di Caprio

"RE: Kenzie is teed up and ready to send home"
Posted by Sheldor on 03-13-24 at 09:29 PM
Well I guess that is what "Wackadoodles Win" means but I didn't hear anyone say that!

"Whackadoodle wins"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 09:47 PM
You are right. I was waiting to hear it but didn't.
"RE: Whackadoodle wins"
Posted by Sheldor on 03-15-24 at 02:06 PM
Re-watched and the line was said by Q.

Originally watched live streaming via Paramount Plus and my video playback got hung up at that point and I had to restart.

Bhanu says: "I can't win. I'm a Wackadoodle!"

Q replies: "Wackadoodles Win"

So the title wasn't referring to an actual outcome of the Reward/Immunity Challenge but rather referring to Winning the game of Survivor!

"RE: Whackadoodle wins"
Posted by michel2 on 03-15-24 at 08:13 PM
Thanks I was expecting it after the challenge so that is probably why I missed it.

Does it have a chance of being prophetic?

"All this for Nothing"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 09:28 PM
Since the evacuation happened after the IC, they should have gone on with the Council. Why give a save to Yanu when they didn't deserve it?

Consider they have to eliminate the same number of players in 13 less days, I'm sure they could have rearranged the schedule even by losing 2 today.

"What I would have done"
Posted by michel2 on 03-13-24 at 09:46 PM
The tribes should be 6 - 6 - 3 but instead they are 6 - 5 - 4 so here's what I would have done after Randen left: Hold the Yanu TC but have the losing player join Nami, taking Randen's place.


If this had been Koh-Lanta, (France's version of Survivor) Jess would have been returned to the game in Randen's place and yanu would still have voted. Ko-Lanta is MUCH better than the US version in many aspects, especially the challenges, but that medical evacuation rule is the dumbest thing ever.

(Their challenges are survival based, they still have F2 and the F3 challenge has become legendary: The Posts. Players have to stay up on a post over water for as long as they can. It has lasted more than 24 hours on a few occasions. Pretty-boy, Probst would not stay in the sun for that long.
