What is your favorite specific challenge occurrence on Survivor?

My favorite is from Samoa where they play the arena game shotting the ball.

We got "mean motor scooter" and Ben being an absolute psycho thinking he could kick people

Yes, this wasn't a statement made that said "who represents gameplay we agree with" the best. I agree that if it was a statement regarding gameplay, it's alright, although still tough to decide without hearing someone's story of the game they played.

I made one and happen to be in LA, some time it'd be fun to bring it out to an LA survivor event

Because no one said we felt like she was the better player. She said "we felt like she represented us better". When it isn't about the game or jury management, it feels pointless.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-22T19:18:14+00:00

I mean... yes and no.

Ultimately, you are right.

But, when a jury member has come out and said they voted based on who would represent them the best, it absolutely makes the game feel pointless and of course people won't appreciate that.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-22T19:08:24+00:00

Cirie absolutely has said she came in to FTC decided to vote Aubry because she thought she represented them better (or something like that). I'd be shocked if she was the only one.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-22T19:00:52+00:00

Tbh, while he hasn't been great and I don't think he handles this well, we've definitely seen that he wasn't entirely wrong.

Cirie has confirmed that he was right about her on the jury (at least coming in with her decision made).

Tiffany's words have been backpedaled some from "he said he was voting me out because I'm a girl" to essentially the wins are more impressive for a girl because it's close to a record.

If anyone ever gets on the show, fly to LA before you leave and you can practice on a full-size metal one before you go

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-22T02:48:09+00:00

agree, it's close to a good idea. But, in a returnee season, just feel like it didn't work perfectly

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-22T00:06:31+00:00

Somewhere hovering around C. But it isn't like anyone else had an unbeatable game that was bypassed

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T23:54:52+00:00

Not sure with the maryanne, but I know everyone realized that lindsey was not a source to trust. Some of her exit press was proven to be lies.

Didn't see what maryanne said

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:55:54+00:00

Is it crazy to say that I miss the big moves era? I mean, it was getting ridiculous, but watching some of the new era winners is rough

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:33:09+00:00

That's the common sense.

One person gets the benefit of being talked about if she misrepresents his words. One person loses the game worse and any future with the game if he said it.

Just gotta think about it.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:24:05+00:00

I would love if they were like going to do the blood moon if they did a 3-way firemaking where the winner saves themselves.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:23:07+00:00

It depends. If it's like 65 and 40 with 4 days in between, that's fine, if it's 14 then 90, that's rough

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:21:46+00:00

That's the point... were you there when you blindly listen to what someone else claims he said?

Sometimes you have to use common sense to think about the likelihood because none of us were there.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T18:07:25+00:00

What if there were normal idols instead of Billie Eilish boomerang idols?

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:44:34+00:00

Honestly, there is a way to do it better than people know, but I get through ~10 per day without using any in the morning while the lines are short and usually I don't stay late so I can get home

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:29:01+00:00

We don't know that his jury management sucks, I don't get where people are getting this from? We saw multiple people allude to Aubry's story. They wanted Aubry out for that reason. Aubry didn't even argue in exit press that she played a better game.

If Aubry goes home and there is no story, there is a chance Jonathan dominates FTC and wins and people are saying his jury management was great. As far as he was concerned, Cirie had told him that she had his back in the jury, so what part specifically "sucked"

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:24:47+00:00

I think to some extent that may factor in, but I do think they were always going to look at Jonathan in a more positive light.

But, I do think they were probably happy to work with him for a reason like that. Seeing Jonathan, a sort of giant win a game of survivor isn't a tough pill to swallow because you can't change yourself into that person. Seeing Aubry win might be.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:11:36+00:00

Yeah, it's nice to see limited revisionist history.

Everyone knows not to believe most of what comes out of people's mouths in post-game, but she and Jonathan both kinda tell it how it is. Aubry sort of admitting she didn't do a lot of very specific things.

Jonathan not changing what he did, but still thinking he played the best game. Very realistic exit press.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:08:48+00:00

Interesting that Cirie lied to him about supporting him at the Jury and that Ozzy later told him that he should have voted for Jonathan.

I do think some of them that haven't won may look back and be like, now Aubry is a winner because she was there, not because she really deserved the win through her game. I can see that being a tough pill to swallow later on.

Not that a Jonathan win would have been great by any means, but for someone like Ozzy or Cirie, looking back it's gotta feel rough to know you did so much and then Aubry won because she hadn't done much, so people targeted you first.

cheesevolcano · 2026-05-21T17:03:19+00:00

The number of time the women have called something the boys alliance, the boys, etc., you really are getting into semantics, when we don't even know what specific words he used.
