She was probably fuming and cussing and I want to see it all! 😆 I know I would've been seeing red after wanting him out for so long, all his idol plays, then this final chance to save himself again.

Becky and Sundras fire making was so iconic that I knew it had happened on survivor before watching Cook Islands, didn’t know it was that season, and then realized that this was what I had heard about when I saw the opening frame of the fire making. I think something that makes me enjoy it even more is the fact that they went to fire making simply because ozzy wanted it to be as fair as possible. Yul would have voted for Sundra to go home over Becky, and Ozzy knew this. He decided to tie the votes not because he was closer to Sundra, but because he thought it was fitting that they made the final four together, and they should each get an equal chance to stay.

[@shadowninja6689]

FYI on Steph vs Bobby Jon, I'm pretty sure that they only got matches after they failed to make fire with flint but they just didn't show it. I've heard in interviews that this is exactly what happened in the later fire making challenge that season between Ian and Jen. Ian was normally able to make fire with flint, but he couldn't under pressure, and Jen wasn't a fire maker.

To an extent I agree, but anyone can create a model to success, the best can make it happen. Not saying Chris is a top tier winner but realistically think about how many people could have pulled it off. Chris was just under noticed enough for the others to not take him seriously.

[@PikachuPlays]

@@yellercat500cat7 I just think that the strategy itself is only BARELY good enough to be considered deserving of sole survivor, and even then, it's arguable. When he didn't even come up with it himself, it isn't even close for me personally. Being intelligent enough to strategize your own way through that process is part of the acumen i require to consider the POV impressive.

1. Becky and Sundra (Cook Islands)- It's one of the funniest moments. Jury falling asleep, Ozzy facepalming, Jeff being pissed and having them go to matches which Sundra runs out of lol. 2. Stephanie and Bobby Jon (Palau)- The finale to the obliteration of Ulong. Nothing like this had or will happen again. None of knew what was going to happen. 3. Tony and Sarah (Winners at War)- We knew winner was going to win the season. The 2 friends being forced to compete and a bitter sweet victory to the winners at war season. 4. Ben and Devon (HvHvH)- Iconic because of how bad it was. Devon and Chrissy got screwed. 5. Chris v Devens (Edge of Extinction) -Chris made the move he had to do. It was an exciting moment. 6. Cirie and Danielle (Panama)- It's aged into an iconic moment because it's Cirie's first loss. Truthfully she loses the game anyway, but it was a memorable moment. 7. Bob and Matty (Gabon)- Sugar trying to keep Bob was memorable and we knew winner of this won the season. 8. Rodney and Carolyn (Worlds Apart)- Mike made a move we thought was potentially game ending. Also Dan laughing because he knew they both would be bad at it is underrated. 9. Carson and Heidi (44)- Memorable because how fast Heidi made fire. 10. Michelle and Aubry (Koah Rong)- It was fun to see this occur naturally and truthfully didn't know who would win. 11. Jonathan and Mike (42)- Fun trying to guess if Mike could actually beat the challenge beast Jonathan. He pulled it off! 12. Gabler and Jesse (43)- Heartbreaking to see Jesse lose who would have won the season. 13. Ian and Jenn (Palau)- Memorable because minutes before, we didn't see this coming. Jenn should have just been gone, but Ian opening his mouth made Tom give Jenn a chance. 14. Wendell and Angela (Ghost Island)- It was blowout and predictable, but I do remember Angela swapping stations at Wendell's request which is something. 15. Dean at Lauren (Island of the Idols)- Predictable. Noura made a bad move taking Tommy to the end. 16. Deshawn and Heather (41)- Just memorable because Xander made a bad move. 17. Jake and Katurah (45)- We knew winner was getting 3rd place, but fun to see Jake finally win something 18. Mike at Kara (David v. Goliath)- I truthfully can't remember anything other than Angelina thanking Nick for taking her to the end like she thought she could actually win the game lol. Did I forget any?

[@PhillipOnTakos]

I gotta give credit to Deshawn vs Heather in 41. While not a built up rivalry, or even one that would change the outcome of the winner. It's the closest it's ever been. While in WaW Sarah's fire broke the string while she was comforting Tony. Heathers' was only a few seconds behind Deshawn. It's by far the closest the fire making has ever been and the editors did a great job selling that.

Am i the only one that thought mandatory firemaking was introduced to rig the game to help Ben win. then producers realized the backlash they'll get, and pretended this wasn't a one time rigging and so doubled down and made it a permanent feature of the game.

[@morbidpanda25]

I always got the impression that it was in fact pre planned, largely due to production's disappointment in people like David (MvGX) going home at final 3. The stupid part, however, was them keeping it a secret "twist" for that season, instead of telling the players early. If the other players know about the firemaking challenge on HHH, literally nothing changes. By the time anyone takes the shot at Ben, he's able to Ben Bomb his way to final 4 anyway. Just a terrible production decision that made them look far sketchier than they probably were. Same goes for Ben's idol finds. As seen on both the season of winners at war, and the post show press, Ben is just REALLY good at susing out where productions might be hiding idols

[@rokeYouuer]
