The Least Iconic Alliances in Survivor History

[@jaek8479]

The part about being what Paloma is sitting on during confessionals is exactly why i love this channel

[@andrewthomas8687]

I legit never noticed that

[@derahnsikes3]

Really tho wtf is it lol?

[@mt.manda9]

I had to rewind like "wait what IS she sitting on?" When I saw it 😅

[@LivTheSlayer]

I love when Danielle calls Shane “the cool guy” when picking him and he responds by doing a weird walk and saying “the cool guy :)”. You’re right, it truly sets the tone for that whole tribe

[@MikeGlasses]

[@shadowninja6689]

Never forget the stupidity of the young men of Vanuatu. According to post game interviews Sarge approached them on day 1 to form a 5 person alliance, but they said no. So Sarge went and made a 5 person alliance with the other 4 men on his tribe.

[@petermcgill3405]

That’s what we call “inability to math”

[@freddytang2128]

Wow I wonder why this didn’t make the edit

[@Gibstack]

That's so funny lmao

[@Ramboost007]

List of alliances that have close to no understanding of the concept that you needed a majority to be effective: - The Muscle Alliance (One World) - The Younger Men's Alliance (Vanuatu) - The Cool Kids Alliance (Caramoan) - Russell's Zapatera Alliance (Redemption Island)

[@Ramboost007]

@freddytang2128 After the immunity challenge, the premier episode was edited to present the idea that on the outside, Chris was an obvious first boot, but in reality, the Fat Five alliance secretly slowly forms and blindsides Brook and the audience. If that was shown, then the blindside loses shock value since the Fat Five would have been shown to have formed before the immunity challenge and the shock of the blindside will be gone.

[@lowdonator]

The "whats that guys name again?" joke about Chris gets me every time I swear

[@mikerock621]

Who?

[@dakotathoman]

The "Chip" joke gets me every time.

[@TransparentEclipse]

For me the exile alliance from tocantins is one of the most confusing alliances ever. Like, they were built up so much in the edit of the early game, Brendan and taj were like 50% of the screen time of those early episodes whenever they went to exile, only for them to literally have 0 role in anything that happens in the postmerge. Like, didn’t they find the idol as well? And nobody ever played it… I was just so lost as to why they didn’t get together or anything, it was almost as if it never existed! Idk that alliance always confused me 😂

[@AGJ117]

Taj's explanation from an interview. "Once we merged, Brendan and Sierra completely changed. And we expected that. Because they had the numbers, they really didn't need us. They could wipe us out and keep going, plus they had the Idol. So when they didn't come through on their side of the bargain, we figured we had to change things up and just completely go on without them."

[@TheLoserface45]

They found both the idols actually… and Stephen and Taj made a fake one And one idol left with Brendan and the fake idol left with Joe at his medevac. And both those happened like immediately after the merge.

[@lillielynch2199]

NO LITERALLY

[@aaronbentley6373]

I can understand Brendan and Sierra not wanting to continue it…but I don’t understand why it was hyped up by the editors so much for the first half of the game.

[@anthonymort5202]

Brennan had the right idea but his two biggest mistakes was first not taking the alliance to seriously by literally not telling a fourth of the alliance about the alliance with Sierra and his second mistake was not reassuring Taj when the merge first happened I agree with what he was doing not trying to make it obvious by talking to her and hanging out with her but he could have at least reassured her by letting her know that they were good and every once in awhile having some type of communication with her but the plan to not make it look obvious guy trying to keep his distance was a good plan just executed in the worst way you can do it

[@bodaciousconar]

I love you how the intro up until like 40 seconds only shows survivor caramoans popular group alliance when talking about forgettable alliances. LOVE IT

[@giovanniorellana2200]

I already forgot about these alliances and I just watched this video 😆

[@davidwassink9501]

As an Australian, it's always quite hilarious to hear comments about how "rootable" an alliance is... For us, "root" is slang for sex, and is NEVER used to mean "support" 😂🤣

[@LivTheSlayer]

Next video: sexiest survivor alliances

[@Ramboost007]

​​​@@LivTheSlayerFor some people the Vanuatu young men's alliance would still be number 1. My predictions, in no particular order: - Jabaru - Tambaqui - Raro - Black Widow Brigade - Vanuatu women's alliance - Vanuatu young men's alliance - One World Kim's women's alliance - Caramoan Cool Kids - La Flor - Cagayan Beauty Tribe (I don't think the Kaoh Rong beauties aligned with themselves post-swap) - Naviti - Goliath

[@Lord_Dino]

I would love a 2 part video series of the top 5 best confessional kings and top 5 best confessional queens. People like Courtney, Cochran, etc. People who always have something iconic/hilarious to say when they are in a confessional.

[@petermcgill3405]

Kelly Goldsmith underrated confessional queen

[@Quetzal00358]

Courtney, Coach, and Tyson have to be there

[@DylanR_97]

0:58, I didn’t notice that before, but now I can’t unsee it.

[@kevinmilhim646]

The only season of Survivor that I ever seriously followed was Millennials vs. Gen X, and I feel like an honorable mention needs to go to the Gen X Six Alliance (consisting of Paul, Chris, Bret, Sunday, Lucy, and Jessica) that imploded almost immediately. I'll give a brief history of what happened: -The women decided to vote off Paul over some sexist comments he made -Those same women blame Jessica and decide to turn on her -David plays his immunity idol on Jessica, which saves Jessica from immunity, sends Lucy home, and convinces Jessica to find a new alliance in Ken and David After that the remaining three members mostly scramble to join anyone that will take them

[@patg148]

Jess to Ken: "am I just supposed to believe everything else you said too?" Ken: "yes."

[@khaanhnguyenle2354]

Then we also have the what so ever "Tri-force" with 4 members on the Millennials tribe? It's haliarious how bad all four of them played. But at the same time, they are so relatable as i would probably be just as bad as they were if I were out there

[@frida.7831]

I just watched Vanuatu and I agree about the younger men. When the older guys were like "We're going after Brady." I was like "literally who is that" like I didn't even know there was a guy named Brady playing lol

[@murrzzz]

[@coltonyounger9724]

I love this video!! I think and honorable mention could go to The Five Guys alliance in Blood vs Water even though it had memorable players like Culpepper, Hayden, and Vytas I literally forget every time they were aligned until I rewatch the season. Same with the Exile island alliance on Tocantins

[@jjherkenhoff6838]

When it comes to Thailand, I’m surprised that Jake hasn’t returned to a future season, since he was the only respectable Sook Jai alliance member.

[@mitchellleger7129]

I love Helen from the Chuay Ghan Alliance. I believe she would have taken the game if she had not stayed loyal to Brian. She is not the warmest person, but I found her to be one of the most real people to play the game during Thailand. I have always wanted her to return.

[@StickTrickDominoDude]

La Mina is iconic for how uniconic they are though...

[@joshewa5443]

i honestly really liked Penny so i guess that makes me a fan of the Sook Jai alliance, and ofc i liked Shii Ann

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I swear if the one episode Strike force from David versus Goliath isn't here Mr Luke

[@IdoledOut]

I talked about them in my one episode alliance video!

[@Markstubation01]

The Sukjahi alliance confuses me. Because I always though Penny and Erin were close and that Erin was more connected that Shii Ann. I thought Shii Ann was a floater. Come to learn through interviews that Shii Ann was in the alliance and was Ken’s number 1. She was also close to Jake. And that Erin was the floater who wasn’t in the alliance. Shocked.

[@tubagal13]

The fact that I literally went "who even are these guys??" for the last three proves your point, lol. Well done as always, Luke!

[@freddytang2128]

Fun fact: edge of extinction’s DVD cover is all six Manu players. Not a single Kama member was considered noteworthy enough to be on DVD cover

[@luckyrobin]

I'm gonna be honest... I never forgot Dan Barry, mainly because I love space and Battlebots.

[@queenzoroark]

I only remembered three people from the Kama alliance, only remembered Gavin thanks to his pineapple shirt.

[@infiniteinfinite9896]

Fr they voted out the interesting players out early

[@PineappleLiar]

It truly is impressive just how many golden boy alliances there are that just melt at the first sign of strategy. Meanwhile the one all girls alliance ended up being season warping and having plays that have yet to be replicated. (Yes yes I know that’s an oversimplification I just find the trend funny)

[@specstar8724]

One? There's been like 10 or 15, they just erode instantly more often than not

[@ovs4744]

The all girl alliances only work if they can persuade a guy to help them with challenges, other than that they don’t get very far

[@PineappleLiar]

@@specstar8724 yeah I guess that’s the difference. For the girls it lasts one day then as soon as they smell a bad scene they all bounce; the bro guilds just don’t notice the blood in the water until the sharks are at their feet.

@@PineappleLiar there have been plenty more than 1 all girl alliance, and only 2 in my memory actually succeeded, that being the black widows, and kims alliance in one world.

[@Ramboost007]

It's worse, they were 1. 4 out of TEN 2. They were the most attractive people on Gota and they were openly flirting with each other They weren't mentioned because they were entertaining and Reynold and Eddie are important and iconic players of the season.

I think this is Vytas Baskauskas with 30 (27 in BvW (counting time on Redemption Island, he's at 25 if you don't) and 3 in Second Chances), Russel Swan with 25 (15 in Samoa and 10 in Philipines), Colton Cumbie with 23 (16 in one world and 7 in BvW), Caleb Reynolds with 18 (9 each in Koah Rong and Game Changers) and Francesca Hogi with 9 (6 on RI (counting time on Redemption Island again) and 3 on Caramoan). Interestingly Bruce Perreault from 44 will make this list after season 45 airs even if he goes all the way in that season. Somewhat unsurprisingly the list includes a lot of medevac'd contestants.

I would put the Fans majority alliance on Caramoan here over Kama. Sherri was the best which says something when she was the worst and most irrelevant player at merge. Shamar was insufferable. Laura is my favorite, yet she was mid at best. I don't remember a thing about Michael Matt or Julia besides Michael was gay, Matt has a nice beard, and Julia is vanilla flavored according to Cochran. At least all of Kama 6 made merge meanwhile this fans alliance consisted of the forgettable first juror and the final three goat.
