"S24 Gufu Award Thread"
Posted by dabo on 02-16-12 at 01:11 AM
And welcome to the Gufu Award thread for SURVIVOR: ME WORLD, in which 18 DAWs hit the beach intent on being the center of all attention in the world.
The Gufu Award was established for pointing out the dangdumbest game moves in Survivor. The original intent was simply to pay attention to what the contestants do and say that's dangdumb gameness, but from the outset of The Gufu Award noncontestant production stuff had a way of creeping in, so there are actually two categories you may cast your votes on, Contestant and Production. Please keep them separate.
Oh, there's also some rule around here about not posting spoilers here, so wait until after midnight Eastern time post-episode before piling on each episode. But don't feel that you need to wait for me to start each week's sub-thread, anyone can do it and everyone is welcome to step up and start the ball rolling.
and away we go!

Posted by dabo on 02-16-12 at 01:13 AM
Just to get things rolling--Contestant Gufu: All of Them! No one folded their arms over their chests like Jeff told them to, no one! Amazing there weren't more broken wrists.
Production Gufu: What, no one voted off at Tribal!!! What a gyp.
"RE: Week 1"
Posted by Molaholic on 02-16-12 at 11:45 AM
Production - Yea, killing the challenge mid-challenge, always a way to boost ratings.Contestant - Colton. Just one, big, raging gufu, IMHO.
Viewer - Season 22 and we're still here. Isn't there some kind of 12-step program available??
and TAR comes back on Sunday

On review it appears that Jonas did get his arms crossed over his chest just a fraction of a second before he hit the net, so good for him, I've decided to like the sushi chef for now.Carry on.

Jeff's GUFU From Hell: 'Free challenge win? Take it or leave it!' As noted on the ESCT, the thing to do would have been sitting one male out and go from there -- but no, our increasingly-lazy host (who, according to the season's press, literally cannot be bothered to show up) just decided to give himself the rest of the afternoon off. If the producers hadn't decided to stay on schedule and make the medivac into the lone boot, the women could have found themselves in a numerical pit trap of someone else's making: game effectively over, but you have to wait a variable period to make it official because that episode count isn't going to fill itself. I can wait to see his blog excuse for that one. Actually, I don't even have to be there.

Welcome to Survivor: Kleptocracy, boys and girls...who are not together.Salami tribe: For turning the game into a version of the Cold War with all the escalation of thievery. Menudo steals your axe, so you cut a bad deal with the chickens AND steal their ember. Menudo taking immunity and running was mere turnabout and just evened the score. We see how far bitterness gets you; judging by the next episode, as chaotic and insane as this tribe is, it might turn them into the next Ulong.
I guess I can't be too surprised at the ineptness of a tribe with a Kim and a Kourtney on it. What, did Khloe pull a McNulty right before they left?
Colton: People who overplay their hands with the other tribe get nowhere. The last person to do so was effectively cut off and dismissed before the tight alliance. The first to do so? Didn't even last that long.
Production: I've got a long list for these clowns this season.
First off, like I said, it's Survivor: Kleptocracy. This was a cool idea at first, the whole One World thing, but it's probably going to wear thin pretty quickly. If it does, please retire it a la the Medallion of Power rather than beating it to death a la Exile Island.
Also, the whole men vs. women thing should have died a quick death in Vanuatu when it backfired there. Gender-split tribes, living together, hating each other, and someone who sounds a lot like Elise? Just drop Gordon Ramsay out there during challenges and get over it.
Next, the guys had flint for what, nine hours while the girls didn't? Some reward. "The winner gets fire now. The loser gets fire tonight." Did the men just have a mastodon laying around that was about to go bad or something?
And maybe it's the first-year law student in me talking, but the challenge reeks of negligence. After all, it was blatantly unsafe, and no matter how many times Jeff instructs people on how to fall, it's a snap decision. Although Kourtney was more of a doofus than the producers were, so I guess I'll let them have it.
However, if this keeps up, it's looking like Survivor: MASH Unit. This is the first season premiere to end with a medevac, and Kourtney is the first ever first-bootee to leave with an injury. I know they said "no rules," but I didn't think that applied to the people designing challenges.

Double gufu on that challenge. It looked like an accident waiting to happen. The landing zone looked too small for everyone and apparently the instructions should have been much more demonstrated. Teenagers manning a water park do a better job of instructions. sheesh
Sweet! Thanks to Ag!

Posted by Dakota on 02-16-12 at 11:39 AM
1. Kourtney, even before her injury, decided to set herself up for being the "different one". Usually doesn't pay off.
2. Colton, same thing. You wish you were on the girl tribe talking about those tight abs on the other tribe. Not a good strategy since you didn't sell the double-agent thing. You also sat on a stump while everyone else was working to get a camp together. The idol might get you 3 more days once you get to TC, but not much further, I predict.
3. The girls for whining about the guys taking the default win. Suck it up, this is Survivor. Production: Men v. Women. First challenge, VERY physical.

Good show, but GUFUs abound.1. Tarzan - For self-glossing, insistently.
2. Courtney - For saying she fit in no where just by looking at the ladies. WTH?
3. Chelsea - For chickens and for whining about the men taking the win. Get real.
4. Alicia - For being this season's byotch... there has to be one.
5. Coltan - For pulling a Shi Ann on Day 1.
6. Troyzan - For arguing with the women after taking the win. Worse move than taking the win.
7. Matt - For his math skills. 4 does not rule 9.
Production- JP - Put some weight on, dude.
Production - the net concept - What was the point? The only way I see either team getting an advantage off that part of the challenge is if someone got hurt.

Here are a couple more from my observation:- Jeff urges the women to watch their supplies and they STILL don't see Michael stealing their items. They don't even notice anything missing when Jeff says, "Time." It isn't until Jeff takes a physical inventory and advises them how short they are do they come the the realization...DUHHH, Someone stole our stuff.
- If you're going to steal fire, THEN STEAL FIRE...not a small amber at the end of a stick. What the hell good is that??? Put something over the firepit that will ignite and produce a flame.

Contestants Gufu: The Salani who didn't vote Kat. If you keep saving her from her own stupidity how will she ever learn?Contestant Gufu: Colton. Suck it up, this is Survivor not nursery school!
"RE: Week 2"
Posted by Colonel Zoidberg on 02-23-12 at 08:10 AM
Arg...and so it continues.Colton: For not even trying not to be a man without a tribe. It didn't work for Jonathan. It didn't work for Shii Ann. That idol may get you another day, but there's no way in hell those girls are handing over another idol to you unless they have to, so good lock going Russell and finding it without clues because you're pretty much going to have to. That said, he'll probably make F4 at this rate.
Tarzan: Please wear something over your man-thong.
Salami tribe: I should change your name to the Facepalm tribe because that's what I feel like doing anytine you do anything. Hmmm...let's get rid of Kat and we'll still have numbers. And then don't. And what's with the stray vote for Kristina? Sabrina also doesn't seem like much of a leader...if she manages her classes the way she manages the tribe, they probably all think a square root is a hair product and Pearl Harbor is where you go to get nice jewelry. Jiffy's right - get it together, people.
Production: So now Jiffy can't even be bothered to show up for reward challenges. At least come and pull out a lawn chair and a six-pack while the contestants fight it out.

"RE: Week 2"

Ditto ban the hammock.Kat: Survivor is no place to go to expect others to take care of you.
Production: For not confiscating the "banana hammock".

I would hope that he had a wax job or at least shaved his man parts before filming the show. He has enough facial hair already. He dosen't need a second mustache.

Zoltan the Gay Blade: Are you effin kidding me? Seriously? Dude needs some serious help.
Sabrina - Leader during one of the most embarrassing losses in Survivor history. You needed to DO something.
Kitty Kat - Purr, purr... go sit by your dish. That's a nice kitty.
Christina - Surprisingly took little heat for her part in the IC debacle.
Tarzan - No one over the age of 35 should ever wear a speedo. It should be outlawed.
Production: For encouraging Tarzan.
Production: Two balance beam ICs in a row? The knot challenge? Really?
Poster: Soar, for that horrible image inducing post. Ugh...

1. Not voting out Kat.
2. Nina for being too aggressive in her attempts to save herself, especially at TC. It usually doesn't work. Finesse, as in Outwit.
3. Colton, who seems to define GUFU, following in some pretty big footsteps of GUFU's from seasons past. He can't accept the reality of this reality show. It's men v. women for now and you're on the men's tribe. And the HII. WTH were you doing telling the troops about it? Production: Last week we had a very physical challenge, favoring the men. This week might have seemed like it favored the women, but they forgot the oobie factor. So while the women are imploding, there does seem to be a slant. Having said that, I really thought their nimble fingers could have handled the knot thing.

Very physical challenge last week?? Whuh?? MB is well aware that the men vs. women concept is a better draw if the women win challenges. No one wants to see a tribe of men kick the crap out of a tribe of women (well, not no one, but most). To raise their chances, MB played the balance beam card in both the Amazon and in Vanuatu. The women won both challenges.
The first challenge in Amazon involved the untying of knots. The women won.
We have had 3 challenges: two with balance beams, one with knots, all types of challenges that the women have beat the men before at. If there is a bias, it certainly isn't for the men.
Even with their boobs, the women still take up less space than the men. That challenge should have been won by the women. The women lost because they didn't realize until it was already embarrassing that they needed to hold each other up to get past each other.
The women lost between the ears. It had nothing to do with the physical.

Exactly.Last week's challenge had "men take an early lead, women come back and win" written all over it. I was floored that the guys were handling the balance beam better than the women, although the whole thing with Kourtney's wrist kind of made that irrelevant.
This week? The whole thing was on a balance beam, and once the men lost their initial advantage with Leif, who has a low center of gravity, the women could easily have figured it out, come back, and won. They lost because they couldn't follow instructions.
My question: Does EPMB rescue the failing women's tribe with a switch, a la Ravu in Fiji, or do they let them fail, a la Ulong in Palau?

"RE: Week 3"
Posted by byoffer on 03-01-12 at 03:32 PM
Production Gufu: Sharing a camp location, but not camps. I am hating this season because of this situation. The women have completely FAILED at surviving (shelter, fire) which is actually something I really appreciate on the show. Yet because of their proximity to the men's camp they can just walk over and beg. This is made worse because it is men vs women. If the two tribes were mixed, there would be no begging from the other tribe. Even if a tribe of guys might beg (and with the egos/machismo on the show this is a big if), I am pretty sure a tribe with guys would NOT help another tribe with guys (IMO). But because of the gender split and human nature, we have the guys helping the women. (Where is Kim correcting her "bad guys" call for the men taking the injury win in that first challenge??)Production Gufe: Men vs women makes for awful challenges. Too many challenges become easily deemed targeted. The balance beam was clearly designed to help the women, as was the memory challenge last night. I would rather see mixed tribes and challenges that don't hint at being targeted to help one gender.
Men Gufu: I'm always intrigued/disappointed when an HII is flagged, and then no efforts are made to flush it out. The longer it goes unplayed the more power it has. Be smart and vote the guy out while making him feel safe. Hopefully that move is still to come.
Women Gufu: I am totally disappointed with their survival skills. Lousy shelter and terrible fire management. At least they caught a few fish, but do they even have fire to cook it? I would expect people applying for this show to do some prep work.

Personally I think that is too bad, because as I have stated I think survival (natural survival, not just game survival) should be a bigger part. And there should be no reason they can't find attractive people who can actually light a fire or catch fish. My first ever favourite on Survivor was Gretchen, who I thought brought some good survival skills, and while not in the league of, say, Kim and Chelsea, Gretchen was fairly good looking. I remember being crushed when she became the first of player Pagonged.
"RE: Week 3"
Posted by Aruba on 03-05-12 at 07:41 PM
Agreed and right on the money!Sadly that's on the direction Production has taken for the most recent seasons. It is slowly becoming Big Brother on an island or in the jungle. I don't think anyone has really "starved" since S4. Pretty soon they'll be changing the name of the show to "Social Butterfly"...we're pretty close already.
Because I refuse to watch seasons with returning players I did not follow Heros vs. Villians, but when my nieces pleaded to watch the Finale on my large screen TV, I gave in and watched the Finale/Reunion Show. On the Reunion Show what really jumped out at me (and probably went over most heads) was Coby mentioned to Jeff that during his first two stints there was more "open ground" to "explore" and "survive" and utilize survival skills. In H vs V (his third time) he was bummed about being confined within a close enviroment. What it does is forces players to become social butterflies and also creates more catty drama. So essentially they replace "Robinson Crusoe" with a touch of "Jerry Springer."
Whereas this newer format putting a premium on social characteristics gives some fans a mini orgasm, I really wish the show would return back to its roots.

LAST EDITED ON 03-06-12 AT 02:17 AM (EST)But at least they (cough) changed the rules (cough cough) after Na'Onka and Purple Kelly to cut down on quits, and quits have been (um) well just rumors since then. Medical evacuations have been on the decline as well, which I consider a very good thing.
Getchen Cordy was a great survivor; before Survivor she taught survival for the Air Force, building shelter and making fires and finding food and such. She was a natural.
They do still give these folks some minimal training, what to watch out for, what to avoid, prior to sending them out to play the game. And, based on the availability of food that can be foraged or caught at the game site, adjust for reality; sometimes providing them with rice, sometimes not; sometimes providing them from the outset with fishing gear, sometimes not.
Four (cough) wild chickens roaming the campsite on day one, men had a chicken coup they'd taken off the truck (per Kourtney's interview). Nothing against Chelsea, but actual wild chickens can fly.

Argfa...eight stupid males. Cast from the bottom of the stupid barrel. At least Matt the attorney can say he had nothing to do with this.Menudo tribe: For everything. For overblowing what Leif said to Bill. For listening to Colton. For inventing a new way to throw a challenge. For that debacle at Tribal Council. I was going to name the women the Facepalm tribe, but the men have out-facepalmed them.
Colton: For claiming he has black friends like...oh, his housekeeper. Right. "I'm not racist; I watch color TV." Being gay doesn't get you out of being a bigot. You can still be racist, height-ist, and, most noticeably, classist. Colton definitely belongs in the faction of the Republican party that worships Rush Limbaugh, still thinks Obama was born in Kenya, and, frankly, was calling for America to be turned into a totalitarian theocracy back when Bush ran the show but hates government now that their guy isn't in charge. Do the world a favor and just go away, you annoying turd.
Bill: If you don't want to go home, fight a little harder and keep the idol.
Tarzan: Stay on topic. Please. Race was only a small factor in the Bill-Colton blow-up. Your rant was well-intentioned but totally unnecessary.
Menudo again: I thought we dealt with the whole race thing already. Didn't you bozos see Phillip drop the n-word in Redemption Island? Sheesh. Some fights don't need to be relived. We spend 24 seasons trying to prove that, in Survivor, like in most team sports, the only colors that matter are the ones associated with the teams, and then a few bozos come and screw it all up.
Production: Jiffy got it wrong again - this is the second time, not the first time, a team went to tribal after a win. Moto gave up immunity in Fiji in order to keep their camp, although at least they had that as a motivation. Menudo, a.k.a. the world's worst negotiators, gave up theirs for nothing.
Memo to all the gold-diggers out there: There are eight guys on the Menudo tribe who would love to be taken for all they're worth.

"RE: Week 5"
Posted by byoffer on 03-15-12 at 11:00 PM
A round that lasted forever is a likely explanation. Seeing what KKKolton was trying to do (just hold the ball forever without trying to score) could easily have happened, or a long long scrum.I was wondering what the rules were about trying to drown another player. It sure seemed to me that when Colton was holding the ball they were holding him under for a while, though I don't recall Jiffy warning about any rules.
IMO, dumb challenge, fraught with chances of injury and foul play.

They have all day so they wouldn;t mind letting a round drag. We do know that Manono only scored once so Salani had to win that round. The rules were probably that they had to go to 5 but they hid a couple of rounds. It's happened before.- In Heores versus Vilain, Stephenie said she sprained her shoulder during a round that wasn't shown and the one we did show happened later, after they popped her shoulder back in.
-In Samoa, the gross food challenge included a round where Natalie went up against Erik but it wasn't shown because Natalie had problems downing her smoothie. They didn't want to show her looking bad.
Could this be the same thing here? This round would have made the eventual winner look bad?

Have to agree with Dabo here. Mean and ugly doesn't win the million. Love the Instant Karma take also. It brought to mind some other songs. CCR, Bad Moon Rising:
Hope you got your things together,
Hope you're not afraid to die,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather,
One eye is taken for an eye.
Jason Boland, Blowing Through the Hills:
Get the children to the cellar
Grab a Bible if you can
Something wicked comes this way to tear apart the land

Arg...Alicia: For getting waaaaaaaaaaaaay too personal. Like, more personal than Survivor: Gabon got. And yet so one-sided. Christina treated people out there with nothing but kindness when they didn't deserve it and yet Alicia was still a bee-yotch. I don't know if there's a heaven or hell, but Christina should hope there is and Alicia should pray day and night there isn't.
Colton: For being so repulsive that the viewing audience was glad to see you go.
Production: A merge is now "shocking"? It's only happened in, what, 22 of the other 23 seasons?
Also: All the Menudo stuff went with the merged tribe, but they couldn't just think to "forget" Tarzan's man-thong. Or throw it in the fire a la Russell's hat.

Production #1: You have a Survivor Ice cream parlor and you don't ask Erik Reichenbach to play the role of Ice cream scooper? Production #2: Back in season 1, Sue told you that when a rat is lying by the side of the road, you let it rot there. Why did the medical team have to find Colon so soon? I would have been okay if, a few months from now, we got to the reunion and someone asked: "Did we forget Colon in Samoa?"

Tarzan: I believe you that it wasn't poop on that man-thong, but two things. First of all, no one wants any more attention focused on your man-thong. Second of all, all the crap coming out of you was spewing from your mouth. Not wise at all. In fact, just shut the fvck up.
Jonas: Where exactly was the desire to vote Michael off coming from? He didn't fare well at the challenge, and no one's brought up his name before. If you're still hung up on voting with the "vote out the muscle" brigade, then you are dumb.
I realize challenges are usually exempt from gufus, but whoever decided to send Leif out to dig the hole...the smallest person with the smallest hand who digs the smallest hole and has the biggest problem with it? Really?

My nomination is Jonas. He missed a golden opportunity to eliminate most of his fellow tribe members. Having access to the tribes food, he could have caused them all to have tummy trouble. Having to go potty every 15 minutes would have keep most of them busy. Just a little unboiled water should have done the trick. Although I'm not sure if it would have worked on Tarzan.

Won't go over well with the jury if she gets there. She's still has to get past Leif, Jay, Troyzan, Tarzan, Alicia and Christina. Tarzan: Going on a game show that requires social skills when he doesn't have any.

You know, I limit myself most of the time starting these threads because I really am interested in what all of you can come up with. This has been a really fun season, plenty for everyone.Contestant Gufu: Troy. I thought it couldn't get any funnier than last week, boy was I wrong. Troy was an over the top maniac this time around, and he wasted his HII! Paranoia, it's what's on Survivor.
Contestant Anti-Gufu: Kat. Ha, she slipped up and revealed she can think!

Your chance to live is either win immunity or keep your damn mouth shut and let everyone vote off Troy. You chose to do neither. I hope those chicken wings were worth it. I'd pay about, say, $15 for that here at home. You paid $1,000,000 there.

JAY - I haven't seen anyone this incapable of reading someone since Jean-Robert was around. Kat says, "What? Am I gonna say no?" And he takes that as an affirmation. Wow.KIM - Looked genuinely caught off guard when Jay asked her about voting off Alicia the first time. Then she goes overboard in reassuring Troy and nearly gets booted as a result.
ALICIA- Dumb move to give up a shot at immunity. LIke Kim, she was saved by Jay's idiocy.
Tarzan, Leif and Christina- The goal is to win not to come in 6th, 7th and 8th.

1. Troy showing so much hostility. Understandable, but not productive. He needed to get a few to vote against the famale alliance and angry didn't foster trust and loyalty. 2. Tarzan and Leif for not teaming up with Troy. They know they're gone, so break up the strong 4.
3. Christina and Alicia - same as Tarzan and Leif.
4. Sabrina telling Troy he has to be likeable and telling the jury she didn't lie. The jury all got burned by these women.
5. Chelsea displaying her math skills with "that only works if you win immunity".
6. Chelsea showing her intellectual superiority by claiming that Troy put the target on his back. Actually, she and her friends did. Guess she doesn't keep a journal.

No so much a "Gufu" as much as a "Production Indecision"...but I would have loved for Production to take a page out of Skankivor: Micronesia and forced Kat to pick ONLY THREE OTHER castaways to partake in the cake.Would not have been a difficult decision for even a birdbrain like Kat to pick Kim, Chelsea, and Sabrina. It would have crystalized the F4 Troy was trying to open everyone's eyes to and would have also had Christina and Alicia on the outside looking in wondering, "what about us???"
Although I don't think Production would want that because most of us know the direction they wanted this season to go.
"RE: Week 10"

Yes, the window of opportunity there was from the moment she made her bid to when she got back to her seat with her letter and started reading. Just a "Gee whiz, top bid, will Jeff put our letters back up after that?" would have planted the seed.

Troyzan - Man, come on. I love the competitiveness, but that was just stupid. You get in a fight with Alicia and Christina after Jay's boot, and then you expect their trust? When you are screaming at everyone, you are also screaming at people you would like to join you.Chelsea and Sabrina - Ladies, now we know why Kim is fine with taking you to the end. You did yourselves no favors by fighting with Troyzan at TC. Keep your head down.
Tarzan - If you vote for Kim, it is a 3 way tie, and though it isn't likely to change the outcome, it still would have been interesting.

"Leif - God awful game, mon. Anyone know why this guy showed up?"He showed up because CBS gave him an opportunity to play Survivor...an opportunity I'm sure most of us would jump at in a NY minute.
The question is...Why was he CASTED?
I believe most of us already know the answer given the purpose and objective the Producers have for this season.
"RE: S24 Gufu Award Thread"
Posted by iltarion on 04-22-12 at 03:11 PM
I can buy all that.But it still takes some effort to get casted into Survivor. You would think that if you are going to put into the effort, then you might as well try to play the game.
I guess maybe- 1) he tried to play but was so ineffective that it wasn't worth showing. Or 2) he has acting aspirations and wanted the screen time, always a possibility.

I'm sure we all would liked to have seen a more charismatic, entertaining, and game-playing Leif. Even though I feel Leif is genuinely a good guy, I don't believe he possesses any of those attributes in real life; and you can't be someone you ain't.All that being said, I'm certain Production knew what they were getting or, in Leif's case, knew what they weren't getting and he served the purpose they had for this season.
"RE: S24 Gufu Award Thread"
Posted by dabo on 04-24-12 at 12:46 PM
I like Leif. Most often in stunt casting people with disabilities or whatever, they get up on their soapboxes about how they are out to prove they can do it, whatever whatever whatever. Leif seemingly never went to the soapbox, however much they may have prompted him, but just went with his actions and interactions to be an example, just another human being on the planet. No head for the game in some respects, yes, but he played a nice guy, heart on his sleeve, weathered the circumstances really well, and turned in respectable challenge performances. Without irritation.He also seemed to be more into the adventure than the game itself, which was one of the early casting criterions that seemed to fall by the side when casting became more about make show or just look the way you look. Adventure players may not ever win the game, but they win the adventure no matter what.

Posted by dabo on 04-26-12 at 01:29 AM
Contestant Gufu: Christina. Plenty to choose from but, basically, Alicia was right, when she heard her name was going to come up as the secondary target she should have made waves. Why her instead of Tarzan. Be upset, put on a show, blow to everyone that this secondary target plan is what it is.On the non-Gufu front, though, people are probably going to jump on her telling Troy she was the secondary target. Not me, but you go ahead if you want. Had Troyzan actually had the HII to play he would have jumped on the opportunity to vote for Chelsea and try to sway someone else to do so as well.
Contestant Gufu: Alicia. In the RC she took the opportunity to put the killing blows to Troy, Tarzan, Chelsea and Kat. Yes, dumdum, tick off (potentially) as many people as possible.

Gutting fish and chickens is pretty mild compared to field dressing and then butchering a large kill like a pig, very gory and then some. Not that they would ever have showed it on Survivor, or even on a genuine weekend hunting show, but it is a labor-intensive process and not for the weak of stomach.
"Week 12"

Oh My Heck! Another fun episode, they may actually be turning in a series saving season!LOL!
Contestant Gufu: Kat. Granted, the loved ones reward is usually the best reward of the season to go on, but way to pick the wrong two players to take along with you Really, making those picks is a political nightmare in the game, the only good way to do it is to ask for a consensus amongst the players as to who should be picked.
That said, the over-emotional over-dramatized nonsense of the loved ones visit again goes over the top. It's not like the players are doing a tour in a war zone, it's just a couple of months away to play a game, go on an adventure, make TV. A 30 year marriage can survive a few months separation, but good for Tarzan for playing on the emotional strings the loved ones visit presents. And for once I did have some genuine sympathy, Christina and her dad have a genuinely sympathetic situation, would have been great if they could have shared some special time on the reward.
"RE: Week 12"
Posted by Sunny_Bunny on 05-03-12 at 01:41 AM
Contestant: Kat. 1) "I'm 22" let's you be foolish and insensitive? I wonder at what age you won't try and use that excuse anymore. 2) Pouting and acting like a brat when Kim didn't "give up" so you could win the idol, (which let's face it, is why you chose her for reward)and then trying to tell everyone you were just upset with yourself.
3) Calling a blindside "fun and exciting" doesn't quite feel that way when you are hit by it. All these combined were enough to get the tribe to vote for you over Sabrina.
Production: Hey guys, when the tribe can look at the box and tell it's the loved one reward, it's time to make a change. But then, everyone is phoning it in this time around.

It is similar to when the tribe wins a reward of watching a movie with popcorn, candy, and soda. They all know what money shot the cameraman is looking for. Yes it's called a money shot. The proper response gets them additional individual camera time. Coach was really good at laughing while watching the movie, even if it was not funny. He was an excellent camera hog.

Secondly, your entire tribe thought Tarzan and/or Christina should get to go, but somehow you missed the memo. Then, "blindsides are funny"? Yeah, hilarious.
Kim- Boot your alliance out of the order they are expecting, and they might hold it against you. Unnecessary. Boot Tarzan and Christina and you still have their votes.
Alicia - You turn on Kat because she can beat you in challenges?? What?? EVERYONE can beat you in challenges!

"Week 13"

Woo-Hoo! We're heading for the most bikini-friendly finale of all time. Contestant Gufu: Alicia. Fell for the Kim charm and threw away her power base. Idiot.
Contestant Gufu: Chelsea. Choosing Sabrina to share reward, yeah okay that was fair, but also choosing Kim to share a third reward in a row blatantly had nothing to do with fair.

Maybe - but it probably kept her in the game. If Chelsea did not take her - Kim might have gone with the flip and ousted Chelsea.

Yeah, but there were three potential jurors standing there thinking fair had nothing to do with it.

Contestant: Christina - learn to keep your mouth shut once in awhile! Did you really not think Chelsea would find out that you rated your conversation with her out to the others? You lost your shot at the reward on that one.Chelsea - Sab was the only one you needed to take on reward. Kim needed to stay back to keep law & order.
Understand why you dissed Christina; Alicia? naw; Tarzan? don't blame you - who wants to be stuck on a boat with him?
You should have just told Jeff it would be only you & Sab.

Tarzan - MAYBE, and this is a big maybe, the women would have kept you around if you had been a little more livable. Secondly, telling Kim you'd talk her up to the jury was a smart play, but then telling the exact same thing to Alicia was not. Here is a hint: women talk.Christina and Alicia - For voting out Kat while you had the chance to make a move. Tied 3 - 3 is not the time to move. Now, there is no F3 that you could win.

"Finale"
Posted by dabo on 05-14-12 at 00:50 AM
Contestant Gufu: Christina. Do something! Anyway, she made it to F4 coat-tailing, per game theory it is a valid strategy for playing Survivor.Production Gufu. So, what would you have done had Leif still been in the game at F4. He would have been at a serious disadvantage in that F4 IC.

Alicia: You were delusional; no way you played the same game as Kim. Colton carried you along till he left. Christina: Alicia was with Colton in bullying you every day. How did you & Alicia become such a tight alliance?
You had no game, none.

Christina: "Colton and Alicia bullied me. Outside of Survivor I do sales, so am used to taking a beating. Taking a beating was my strategy."Wow. Kudos to Kim for NOT taking Chritina to the final, which would have been an insult to the game.

Yeah, I'm impressed that Kim didn't take the easy way out and go with the obvious goats over two obviously stronger players.Re Christina - this is how I could probably do in an electronics store if she was my salesperson:
Me: "How much is this TV? $750? Ok, please add some sub-woofers, blu-ray player, that Wii set over there, and 40 movies to the package and I'll give you $500 for everything including the TV."
Christina: "Okay. It's all yours for $250."

Just one Contestant Gufu, and it's for Christina. You should not have rolled over and died! You should have fought hard. Sure, you probably would have gone to the jury anyway, but I'm like Kim -- I'd fight for a miracle -- or stall and wait for one. At least then, I could have said that I tried my best! But you didn't do so. Still, you got farther than anyone would have expected you to do, so that's to your credit.

Contestant GUFU: Troyzan. Don't come on the show and be "all about gamesmanship" and then cast your jury vote against the person who out-gamed you.I find it interesting that over the course of the season, Kim had only 5 votes against her, and all by 2 people.
- Ep 9 - Troy voted against her (and played his idol, and Jay was booted)
- Ep 10 - Troy and Leif voted against her (Leif went home)
- finale - Troy and Leif are the only two to vote against her to win the $1M.
As someone else stated, Leif was a mystery on the show. What was going through his mind seems to have been well hidden.
But I am lead to wonder what Troy had/has against Kim. I had thought that maybe he got to Ponderosa and realized that Kim had played him to get his vote flipped to Michael, but he was voting against her before Ponderosa. Did he really realize that she was the danger to win (and if so why didn't he rally more people behind this??).
Production GUFU: Please stop recycling so many survivors. No, we don't want to see RussHell, Colton, or even Troy again. Sure, I wouldn't complain about another season watching Kim but we don't really need that for the show.

Christina was an outsider early on. Bad game play, bad alliances, no game. And there she is in the final 4. Must have done something right. No game. Sabrina had one? I missed it. What she had was an alliance that survived because of Kim. Alicia? Alicia lost her alliance and thought that Kim would forget about Colton and Tarzan and Christina and be her BFF. Chelsea was almost non-existent except for what, one challenge and her telling Troyzan it's just a game? Like Colton, Kim was the player and deserved the win.
I could stand to see Jay or Troy again. But we know that Kat and Colton are the likely candidates. Agman's Spring Fling '12

"Production Gufu. So, what would you have done had Leif still been in the game at F4. He would have been at a serious disadvantage in that F4 IC."Good call on a hypothetical Leif struggle in the Final IC. Although this is not the first time a final IC would have been a potential debacle for a particular castaway in their respective season.
Guatemala - Imagine Lydia (barely five feet tall) having to extend her short stubby legs in that Final IC.
Exile Island - Howabout inept Cirie trying to balance herself on that floating lillypad in the final IC? ROFLMAO!
May as well go all out bashing PRODUCTION on this GUFU thread...
-- Obvious GUFU. Jiffy asking MATT why Manono gave up immunity and went to TC when Matt had been Anti-Darwined the TC before. But whether that question was directed to Matt, Michael, or the Man in the Moon, one did not have to go much further than Production's decision to force the finder of the HII to give it to someone on the other tribe (Duh, Colton) as the contributing factor for that scenario.
-- What's with the Kourtney snub??? Being medivaced on Day One is enough reason to get a quick response on her condition (broken arm.) But to return home and undergo a life-saving operation to remove cancer and not even ask how's she doing??? Isn't this show called "Survivor?!"
--Speaking of Medivac...Why not give former castaways who couldn't hack it another chance over tens of thousands still waiting for their first shots? And seconds after Jeff gives us this lowdown for S25, he has the audacity to say, "if you have what it takes, submit a three-minute video."
HAVE WHAT IT TAKES...

I hadn't heard about Kourtney's cancer battle. The snub was really crass. I can only hope she asked Jiffy not to mention it.
"RE: Finale"
Posted by Aruba on 05-14-12 at 09:01 PM
I actually heard about it on these Boards. According to the report she informed Rob C. (Amazon) who writes for CBS and Survivor that stomach cancer was found and she was operated on.Would seem rather inconsistent that she would reach out to a Survivor writer (Rob C.) then tell Jeff not to talk about...unless of course things took a turn for the worst. We sure hope not.
Either way, you'd think an update on the broken arm would have been on the agenda. Nina also got snubbed. Granted they were the first two ousted, but one for a fluke injury and the other for the greatest divide in Reality Show - Age. Certainly not good enough reasons to be completely ignored.
