Survivor Gabon - Commenatry Thread

[SPOCKED]

Wow! It was hard to see Crystal go, but once again the blindside was a beautiful thing to watch play out.

At this point I think the person most deserving to win is Bob and I think he will win if he can stick it into the final 2 or 3. Suzie had done nothing really except ride the wave of eliminations off to the side. Who would vote for that inasfar as Outwitting and Outlasting is the name of the game? Sugar is amazing but her game seems wishy washy - she plays seemingly on an emotional level. Had she not spent so much time in Exile, she probably would have been gone by now. And that would have sucked because she was responsible for some of the very best drama of this season. Matty has a hot fiance but doesn't really accomplish much. I realise how frustrated he was last night but if I was there I think I would have beaten him with his own leg. Kenny has made enemies of most of the existing jury. So I don't know how you beat Bob if he's standing there at the end. He's the all-around the BEST player.

Crystal was a long shot anyway but watching that useless Gabon-whore Corrine rejoicing made me feel all stabby

Kenny has made enemies of most of the existing jury. So I don't know how you beat Bob if he's standing there at the end. He's the all-around the BEST player.

Obviously, noone can beat Bob in the jury vote, since the "cool kids" (watch the Ponderosa videos on the CBS website, how they treat Crystal - those douchebags are fucking disgusting) are treating this game just as a high-school-like popularity contest, and Bob was with them for a long time. But if you take him away, I actually think Kenny has a good shot at winning if he makes it to the final; he has Crystal's vote for sure, and the two next people getting voted out would probably at least consider voting for him even if they aren't thrilled about it, plus Corinne seems to be ok with him and Randy probably also.

Thank RW, I will absolutely check it out tonight.

I love Sugar so much, glad to see Crystal go. Sheesh was she useless! Olympiad my ass.

I'd like to see Bob or Sugar win, preferably Sugar as I think she's reall played a bit better of a game mostly by people under-estimating her.

While Sugar was brillient last night I think Bob has a better chance of winning. He is just so calm in the challenges and four in a row is a great feat. I think the only thing that will slow him down is the mental challenge in which they have to stand on something or over an hour or something. Don't think he will do that great on that one for some reason. I hope Sugar makes it into the top 3 though, which is a strong possiblity.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I really REALLY hope that Bob wins this thing. I have liked him from the beginning. I doubt he will make it to the end because these things never work out the way I'd like them to, but I still hope!

Corinne is so irritating and rude and tons of other much worse stuff. But especially arrogant.

 

[Pegaritaville]

That was an exciting episode; bad move by Kenny although I give him points for ambition and backstabbery. Well played by Sugar, but I'm really starting to doubt her gameplan. Crystal is no threat whatsoever in final three - she wouldn't get even a single vote - so why not take out Kenny instead while you're at it? He's the bigger threat in every conceivable way. Sufar is a smart girl, but she seems to be playing just with her guts and not her head, or does she really not care about winning the million?

Kenny would have been a better option to take out, but I don't think Bob would have gone along with that. Bob promised to give Kenny the immunity necklace if he thought Kenny was in trouble, and I doubt he would have reneged on that promise. Taking out Kenny's closest ally was the best option for Bob (didn't do much for Sugar, though).

 

[propita]

I can't tell if I like Sugar or not. Regardless, she has surely outwitted more players than any other, at least this round of Survivor.

Her play with the idol? Priceless!! Let everyone think she'd play it for her, then give to Matty? That is thinking equal to Bob's fake idol.

Who do you want win?
Kenny - I used to like him, then he got just way too arrogant, though he did get "outwit."

Susie - Totally worthless as just going along with the crowd. She may "outplay" and "outlast," but don't even try to claim "outwit."

Matty - Seems a nicer guy as time goes on, but he doesn't "outwit" compared to Kenny, Bob, or Sugar.

Bob - Love this man. Randy must hate his guts. He's definitely "outplayed" by winning challenges, and "outwitted' if by fooling Randy if nothing else. "Outlast" is pretty obvious, he's still there.

Sugar - Damn! For someone I wasn't sure was naive or a genius, she has SO "outwitted" people so often. That also might go to "outplay"--by making everyone think she was just some dumb blonde.

So, if it ended up Bob v. Sugar, I couldn't argue with either winning, at least right now.

 

[Non Sync]

I'm rooting for either Bob or Sugar. Bob had been pretty much flying under the radar until lately.

This season has definitely improved with all of the blindsides.

I agree with everything you've said.

Bob or Sugar. That would be a tough choice.

 

[Roger Wilco]

I still like Kenny, he's been portraiyed as a villain in the last couple episodes, but I don't mind. He didn't say anything too outrageous, he's just a little bit too cocky.
Unfortunately though, I don't like his chances.

 

[Geck]

I'm still rooting for Sugar, though I don't think she has a prayer with the jury, even if the F3 ends up Sugar-Kenny-Susie which is unlikely in itself. My second choice would be Bob.

Susie is useless and won't get a single jury vote. Kenny was playing well but got cocky, has screwed himself over lately and I'd wager will be the first to go tonight. Matty is well-liked and will probably get some votes, but I honestly can't stand him and hope he doesn't win.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I think that Sugar is not so much outwitting everyone as just making so many random and unexpected moves that people think, "wow, she must have planned this all along!" Honestly I think she is following her heart way too much and as a result makes some rash moves that have worked out in her favor so far. For example, she has gone crying to someone saying, "OMG I believe you now that the other side is evil!!" more than a couple of times now. She is unreliable as an alliance member not because she wants to backstab to get herself further in the game (which is what people expect), but because she follows her emotions too closely, and if she doesn't think they are the "good people" anymore she will switch. People expect the other players to be more rational than that, so she has ended up surprising them with her moves.

So I don't think she's thought through everything or that she's "outwitted" them. She's not stupid, but I think she's playing entirely an emotional game. I wouldn't mind if she won, but I'm definitely rooting for Bob.

 

[tomalak301]

I think the guy with the best chance to win is Bob. He's been great at the challenges, and really hasn't alienated anyone except Randy and maybe Corrine. I hope either he or Sugar wins this thing but looking forward to tonight.

 

[SPOCKED]

Don't forget - it all ends tonight. This has been a very satisfying Survivor and I'm hoping for some great stuff in the finale

 

[Roger Wilco]

I'm not so sure about Bob's chances of winning. I'm almost certain he'd win the jury vote regardless of who the other finalist(s) are; but the question is: will he get there, or can the others realise in time how "dangerous" he is?

He'd be a very deserving winner though.

 

[Trekker4747]

Tell you, Bob is playing one hell of a game. He may end up winning this -though I'd much rather have () Sugar () win.

 

[gh4chiefs]

I want to be careful not to spoil anything since this is still going on, but I often wonder after all these seasons of survivor, why there is always one or two jury members each season that really seem go out of their way to be mean and nasty and/or make total jackasses out of themselves. Some of them have legitimate gripes obviously, but some of them just take it way over the top.

 

[Trekker4747]

And the winner of Survivor: Gabon is....



BOB!

The final votes were 4 for Bob, 3 for Susie and none for Sugar.

Well, good for Bob!

As much as I love Sugar it's purely physical, Bob was certainly a good strong player.

And Randy? Loose the 'hawk, dude.

 

[gh4chiefs]

I was staring at the TV in disbelief when Jeff pulled out 3 votes for Susie. Had she won, it might have been enough for me to quit watching this show.
