Survivor Season 30 comes to an end May 20th.......I like the show, even after all these years, I still enjoy the show.


List of winners.....

http://survivor.wikia.com/wiki/Sole_Survivor


Just for the fuck of it I thought I'd give my thoughts on the following..........


The two worst seasons were......

Survivor: Marquesas and Survivor: South Pacific

The worst being Survivor: South Pacific, that season stunk.




Players that dominated their seasons and deserved to win and did win.........

Richard Hatch
Ethan Zohn
Tom Westman
Yul Kwon
Parvati Shallow
Rob Mariano
Tony Vlachos


Worst winners in order.......

1. Sandra Diaz-Twine (she sucked and won twice, yes twice!)
2. Vecepia Towery
3. Natalie White
4. Sophie Clarke (terrible season with that moron "Coach" dude)
5. Tina Wesson


And most importantly.....Russell Hantz by far the most ripped off contestant ever...he should have won twice, and didn't even win once.

 

[Tabascocat]

Russel was one of my favorite villains. He should have won at least once but peoples feelings were hurt.....fekking pansies.

I wish that they would come up with a better way to vote rather than alliances or popularity contests. In no way should these boring floaters make it to the end

Russel was one of my favorite villains. He should have won at least once but peoples feelings were hurt.....fekking pansies.

Yep he got totally screwed, the two seasons he should have won ("Samoa" and "Heroes vs. Villains") he got a jury that took everything personal and didn't realize it was a game, he got totally fucked over. The fact a terrible player like Sandra Diaz-Twine beat him out is laughable. Russell Hantz is by far the Top 5 best players ever and he never won, then you have a weak player like Sandra Diaz-Twine and she won twice, go figure.

By the way in "Samoa" and "Heroes vs. Villains" they re-polled the jury after show aired (3-4 months later) in both of those seasons Russell won easily. Sadly jury was a bunch of little bitches when they were in Ponderosa/on the show and couldn't man the fuck up.





Other thought......Survivor way more about luck now then in the past. Producers have ruined the show with the introduction of 8 billion hidden immunity idols. Oh and let's not forget the producers always splitting up the tribes over and over again. Those changes have made the show all about luck now. Yes there is skill involved now, but nowhere close to it was in 1st half of Survivor shows. Back then you didn't have so much luck to rely on.

Oh and what the fuck is with this whole "3 make the final" bullshit? First off it is silly because you can have a tie, but more importantly make it a final 2 because there is never a final 3 where they are all close anyway. Stop with this "3 make the final" bullshit.:nono:

I wish that they would come up with a better way to vote

Since season 2 (Season 1 the votes were read on taped show) the quickest turnaround from filming ending to the live show was 9 weeks. Usually it is 4 months or so. Meaning there is tons of time since show ends taping to the live finale. Now you can't have jury members vote after the show airs, that would not be fair. But since at the very minimum you'd have 2 months from show ending taping to episode 1 being aired you could have the jury vote 2 months later. This would give the jury time to reflect and vote with their minds not their emotions (realize it is a game not real life). This would eliminate shit winners like Sandra Diaz-Twine, Vecepia Towery, Natalie White and Sophie Clarke.

Of course the huge drawback would be if a jury member died or went into a coma, etc, etc, then you are fucked. Odds of that happening are low, but I guess it is possible. I guess you could have the jury members vote during taping, but that vote would only count if they died, you know something like that.




Note: This season (Season 30) set a record for longest gap......it ended on September 11th, 2014 (began filming August 4th 2014). The finale airs May 20th....talk about a huge gap in time:scared

Never has a season taken this long to air.

That is a long long long long long long time for winner to wait to see if they won the game:scared


By the way Season 31 begins taping June 1st.

I'm pulling for the guy from Texas :0008. Thanks for posting, Survivor is my favorite show on TV, I've never missed an episode in 15 years

 

[comfortable1]

I like watching the 'after they lose' videos on the website depending on the contestant. They're usually around 7min long and start immediately after they get voted out. Think they only do it for jury members who get to stick around in a swanky resort type house.

I suspect the delay was so it would coincide with the Letterman finale.

I fell off the wagon years ago, loved the first few years. This year I got back into it. My wife just started watching it and she likes it. So we have decided that we do not like Rodney. I can't believe that Will and Sierra have made it, but that's how the game goes. I just don't see how they didn't try to cut out the puppeteer (Rodney), he's a moron. I guess the thinking is he won't get the votes in the finale.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

Big Brother starts in about 7 weeks. Much better show. Much better. Like 10 x better. You should get excited about it.

Hantz was okay. Sandra was great, not sure what you're talking about. Do nothing and be nice to everyone is a viable strategy.

You remind me of Cochran. Quite a bit actually.

Rodney has pissed too many people off he will not win, Will has as well. I can't stand Rodney either, he is nothing by a whiny loud mouth

 

[comfortable1]

Couple weeks ago Rodney was ranting and exclaimed 'I'm comin at you with facts!'. This quickly became one of my son and I's favorite things to yell at each other (he's 14).

The Ponderosa videos are usually very good, you can see the players for what they are. By the way Ponderosa has broken up two marriages (cheating on spouse at the resort). Two contestants broke up with their spouses and married one another because of all the fucking that goes on there. By the way this season Hali and Joe were banging one another night after night. As I said lots of banging goes on at Ponderosa.


Speaking of Ponderosa, for those that watched this season......Dan is Top 5 most unaware contestants ever. Go ahead watch his Ponderosa video. It is hilarious how unaware he is. Wow:scared

Perhaps......but September 11th, 2014 to May 20th, 2015 is crazy, that is way too long of a break:scared

As stated in my previous post Season 1-16 were better because there was way more skill involved. Season 17 was first season with "hidden immunity idol" which ruined the show, then the producers kept introducing more and more and more "hidden immunity idols", pathetic actually. I understand you need gimmicks in 30 seasons but they went WAY overboard. And then you have the producers constantly mixing up the tribes over and over and over again. That eliminates the skill level. What's the use of trying to mind fuck people and toy with them if the tribe gets split up all the time, total luck. In earlier seasons way more skill, simple as that.

As for your thoughts on this season......Rodney is a moron but he deserves to win because from Day 10 onward he tried stuff, sure it was the wrong stuff and sure he never knows what is going on and yes he thinks he's running the game and he isn't. But at least he's trying to do something. This season has had lots of weak players, there are plenty of other season where Rodney would have never made it this far, so he got lucky. Seems almost all players this season were weak, overall very weak season.

 

[kickserv]

Hantz was okay. Sandra was great, not sure what you're talking about.

The above is perhaps the dumbest statement I have ever read on Madjacks.

Sandra was a terrible player on 3 seasons, the fact she won twice is laughable, the first season she won the cast was full of players that thought they were on vacation. She isn't the worst player in 30 seasons but in the bottom 10 percent for sure. Just a terrible player that got insanely lucky.

Hantz is Top 5...maybe even the all time best ever to ever play the game.



39 day ban for BleedDodgerBlue.

Season 30 has been a weak season, there were some good players but they didn't last, the final 8 were pretty weak. Not the weakest ever but not strong at all.

With that said if Mike pulls off the win he will easily be the Top 10 for most deserving winners. He has had to win immunity over and over again to survive. Sure he is lucky he's on Season 30 that had 8 billion "hidden immunity idols" (one saved him) but the man has come up huge over and over again.

If Mike manages to win he'd be in the Top 10 most deserving winners. Of course others have "had
to win Immunity" over and over and over again and have done it WITHOUT stupid "hidden Immunity idols" Mike is lucky he has 900 "hidden idols" he can find. The 1st 17 seasons there were not those stupid hidden idols.

Tom Westman (Season 10) won 6 straight Immunities (and he needed em all) and he won the show and Yul Kwon (Season 13) won 5 straight (and he needed them all) and he won the show. But if Mike does win it would be an impressive win.

If Sierra or Will win they will go down as one of the worst winners ever. Top 10 worst winners for sure. If Will wins I'd rank him as 5th worst winner.

Remember the worst winners are.....

1. Sandra Diaz-Twine
2. Vecepia Towery
3. Natalie White
4. Sophie Clarke
5. Tina Wesson

I have no problem if Rodney wins because he was trying to win the game, made wrong moves over and over again and has no clue what the fuck is going on, but he tries to make things happen.

 

[kickserv]

Season 30....Mike wins....Top ten most deserving winners for sure.

Well done Mike:0074

 

[Tabascocat]

I just want to see Hali naked..........

Vinnie - work on that please

Oh, and Mike was the clear winner here.

 

[kickserv]

Oh, and Mike was the clear winner here.

Yep....he was, although he did get a little lucky being on a weak season. Not a lot of good players this season, very weak when it came to game-play. I'd rank the season maybe 17th or 18th for quality of players.

With that said, no question Mike is Top 10 for most deserving winners.

Weak players or not, he did what he had to do........nut it up and win those immunity's. For a second there, I thought those dumb asses on the jury were going to give it to Will, heh.
