5 Times Survivor Players Hacked Strategy 2.0

[@arielmyers4028]

i have a confession... i dont even watch survivor ... i have not ever watched it. I just found your channel a while ago and now I just keep up with you

Oh you are missing out on a great show if you like drama, competition and backstabbing.

[@jeremytorres5622]

I feel like you can argue that Natalie white did the goat strategy and win because she was intentionally getting Russel to make enemies while letting Russel take her to the end

[@ChrisTessmer]

Mike backing out of buying the letters from home was such a great Survivor move. It's a shame the other players were allowed to refund their letter and foil his plan.

[@petermcgill3405]

They weren’t. It came up in interviews after that Jeff said no refunds, and Carolyn argued for a while before Mike bought his letter.

[@ChrisTessmer]

@@petermcgill3405 Good to know. Thank you.

[@jeremydelay9990]

Hey Chris, what is your address?

[@boomz2526]

I can't believe you didn't include Angelina's amazing fake idol in this series yet. That has to be a top tier strategic plan. Alison made an absolute fool of herself, such as Angelina geniusly predicted, and it was a massive resume move. It's a shame that the jury didn't appreciate many of Angelina's spectacular plays (such as the jacket escapade or ricegate) and instead gave their votes to Emoji Movie and a vampire.

[@petermcgill3405]

You forgot about when she climbed a 100 foot ladder to find an idol

[@XanderMatthews-nv9zf]

You left out her selflessly giving up her shot at immunity to get her tribe rice which she humbly never brought up again

[@TylerAlan24]

[@thefoxoflaurels3437]

Need I mention she gave up immunity for rice?

[@slfteach89]

Think one of the best parts of Mike's moves was how clearly it separated him from the Axis of Evil as well. He had some connections to them at that point but going forward he was able to easily distinguish himself from them as the good guy when they got increasingly toxic and volatile. Might not have worked short term but it definitely paid off long term

[@EmEhKay]

Kristie went from a "goat" to a GOAT, that was one of the best seasons of survivor of all time.

[@Madtytan]

I always thought the Survivor "Goat" was short for "scapegoat". But sacrificial goat makes even more sense. Never even considered it.

[@kayleighlehrman9566]

Possibly also a mixed metaphor for Monty Hall

[@BrettMKW]

It was almost certainly accidental but Missy using up all of Hunahpu's rice allowed them to win every immunity challenge (except for the one they threw) and gain a massive numbers advantage. All they had to do at the end was give up all their earned rewards, but that still didn't negate the numbers advantage and a good chunk of the tribe wasn't even on Hunahpu anymore thanks to the swap.

[@shrutik9673]

how?

[@tau_628]

Recently in Australian Survivor we saw the refinement of the first part of Nick’s strategy. Feras and Raymond executed their own fake idol find perfectly and instead of the target shifting to Raymond it shifted off of him because it was the final five and the last time an idol could be used. Brilliant stuff.

[@JJackson.13]

Every time I watch Kristie’s final tribal, it reminds me how amazing the editing is in Aussie survivor. She crushed that final episode!

[@DrKartoffelsalat]

Everytime i watch a Survivor Strategy related video and see Cirie, i get reminded, that she was and always will be the original robbed Queen. Never has a player gone from being afraid of leaves to an absolute social and strategic powerhouse (in multiple seasons no less) only to get robbed one way or another (be it Final 2 twist, Advantage-geddon, so on). I'm so glad she could finally flex those strategic and social muscles to finally win not just one but two Social-strategic game shows after Survivor.

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

@@DrKartoffelsalat wait, which shows?

[@DrKartoffelsalat]

@@RuyLopezTheSicilian The Traitors (US, Season 1) and Snake in the Grass (US, Season 1 Episode 5)

[@drgamenstein3032]

I commented the same thing on a different video earlier today, but it feels fitting to go here too. Shout out to Terry Dietz voting out Misty and pioneering the "eliminate Parvati 2.0" strategy before Parvati had even played.

[@jackfriedman3998]

I feel like Gabler also fits in the strategy of assuming the goat role, and debatable executed it better and more actively than Kirstie or Tom. We consistently hear him talk about how he’s “hiding in plain sight”, and there was a massive dichotomy in how the players viewed him on the island compared to how they viewed him when they were on the jury.

[@ASG-nm4cz]

One of my least favorite Jeff moves was outing Mike

[@Heyimconnor]

It’s so funny that there are 2 definitions for goats, both of which are complete opposites

[@njc84]

I wonder who coined the expression in Survivor. What's wrong with goats? Haha why not sheep?

[@professorstith]

I'm a long-time watcher and I'm a professor at UNLV. I'm not sure if you read about the recent shooting at my school, but watching this video really helped to distract me and keep me occupied and just wanted to say I appreciate your channel so much

[@freddytang2128]

For Aussie survivor I thought you were going to bring up the olympic champion herself. She seem like a goat in most seasons, the elderly lady that is likeable enough but not that strategic and seemingly just floated by. I know she did do alot under the surface but I can totally imagine her playing the strategy of "take me to final 2, I didnt do anything, nobody will vote for me"

[@kennethalair4948]

Cerie is not be a physical threat but her strategies are so good! so sneaky!

[@DannyMorrs]

10:55 the "Chip/Chris Underwood" joke never gets old, always gets me when you throw that in there 😂

[@carterhawley4421]

I’d argue that Gabler was able to win by becoming the goat. He stayed under the radar while still being intentional but still gain respect from his fellow castaways in order to win the jury vote.

[@SURVIVORkid23]

I never really understood why Jeff looked so upset at Mike when he didn’t take his letter like… “how dare he make good tv right in front of me! 😑”

[@PatstarDeluxe]

No, I always viewed that as Jeff being completely surprised/shocked, as in he didn't think about that as a play/move and it caught him off guard

I am clueless about that gag, other then Chris's win being one of the most controversial and looked down upon.

[@itzmeconar6991]

I find it hilarious that in South Pacific, they came up with ALL that strategy and then that plan B, just for Cochran to flip after deciding that he didn’t want to deal with his tribe bullying him. EVEN FUNNIER IS WHEN COCHRAN GOES ON TO WIN SEASON 26.

[@freddytang2128]

Here's a strategy I'm surprised we dont see more often (technically AK from Aussie survivor attempted it). If you have a real idol, make an absurd looking fake idol and try to trick others. Nobody will believe the fake idol is real, and they will immediately deduce that you don't have a real idol.

[@seraphinaedan1033]

I would say that gabler was a little bit in that in that really downplaying his thread level.and people didn't take him seriously UNTIL a phenomenal final tribal

[@MyGroupThink]

Every time I see Ozzy lose it at that challenge, I'm reminded of the Wendy's girl and Pippi Longstocking for whatever reason.

[@drainstorM11]

Sherri's right to be really annoyed. She did not play a bad game by any means and that jury was really unfair to her

[@rodrigopimentel160]

The audacity of going to final tribal council and tell one of the finalists you upset her because she didn't jump to your side.

[@rodrigopimentel160]

I'm still surprised that jury voted to Kirstie as they were SO full of themselves. It was such a bitter jury, and yet, It wasn't.

[@JitteryJackanape]

Its too bad the social game is such an important element in the auction with the letters. Mike essentially had no choice. And the cast was a bunch of jerks to him about it and it killed the auction for like 7 years. He was already in danger and it sucks for him.

[@bricked2343]

I never buy the whole “I planned to suck the entire time” speech in final tribal…

[@ProfesionalBondservant]

They added it back

[@liminalcriminal_]

I’m at the point where just seeing Shane Powers makes me smile

[@ocho33]

Phillip deliberately played the goat. It worked. But you can’t win with this strategy if your social game is trash.

[@Sam_Hue]

Well… Season 45 revived the survivor auction back, but it’s a lot different now. No more advantages, and they have to find the “auction money” instead of being given a predetermined amount for bidding. The amount of items on sale can now be anywhere between 6 to 15 inclusive. However only Jeff knows the amount.

[@ColtonDick-e8w]

One move I REALLY wish was made was on season 45 with Emily and her vote out. She showed so much game knowledge by being able to take out Bruce the round before and could’ve done the same thing with Julie. Julie was on the hot seat and Dee told her she was the next to go. Only the Reba 4 knew of Julie’s idol so the rest of this doesn’t matter but….. If Emily had even the slightest reserves Julie had an idol she could’ve casted her vote on Dee. This would’ve forced a split between Emily and Dee but saving Emily from immediate removal from the game. Julie’s lone vote which was the only vote to not be nullified that tribal was cast on Emily this resulting in her leaving. I’m sure this has happened plenty in Survivor but in the new era with all these “dogpile” votes it seems like it could happen in the future

[@ColtonDick-e8w]

Why not vote for someone else if you know all the votes are going one way? Could save yourself and your closest allies

[@TheDazeez]

Nick could have been a boss if he could have kept his real idol

[@jennyrules1504]

Can you start putting timestamps in the video so I can skip the parts about seasons I haven't seen yet?

[@boonski]

Everytime I hear someone say GOAT, I think of "Greatest Of All Time". The only time I hear GOAT mean something else is on Survivor. Also why Goats to slaughter? Isn't the phrase "A lamb led to slaughter"?

[@Rictavio27]

I think that Sandra in season 20 did use a version of the “Become the goat strategy”. She intentionally positioned herself in a place where Russell thought that she was a goat, but the jury didn’t.

[@Rictavio27]

It’s not exactly the same, but I think that it is the closest thing in US survivor

[@nvm9040]

Ozzy was the bright spot in South Pacific and tribe was more enjoyable pre merge

[@liamroberts2576]

[@christophergideon8786]

Kinda crappy that Jeff let them return their letters for their 20$ back. Mike took a risk and Jeff blew it up

[@TimothyStuder]

Refunds make for better TV though. Producers gotta do what makes the best TV.

[@tylerhaggerty4805]

It's possible Jeff just didn't like Mike, as apparently he along with Chris Daugherty and Brian Heidik were not even asked for WAW. Or maybe it was just a spur of the moment decision that could've been better. But definitely unfair.

[@RisitasKEKW]

Liz on aus heroes vs villains also had one of the best FTCs ever.

[@tekkenaddict1]

I'd say Natalie, Winner of Survivor Samoa, played a successful goat game. She did not have much agency in the game and did not make many moves (aside from sending Eric home at the merge). She would literally have Russell tell her where to vote, and she would vote with him. She won through her social connections to others as opposed to Russells strategic gameplay.

[@erakfishfishfish]

How would someone in the US watch the Aussie and South African versions?

[@curlsp7921]

Any time someone makes a video about survivor, and in said video uses the term “ruffle feathers” and says it that way I get so disappointed lol. Missed opportunity

[@raheemfielder-bey998]

As much as I agree with you with Christy, I still don’t believe anything was intentional and she just lied to have an unforgettable final tribal. She’s a good player but just made so many bad moves that just happened to work out.

[@Nate9-9]

I don’t think you can “hack” strategy. If the “hack” works, it just means it was good strategy, even if unexpected. If the hack doesn’t work, than it wasn’t a hack. Just my opinion.

[@jackmckenna6880]

I’ll always believe Kristy lied at final tribal council. That was never her strategy but she knew that was the story she needed to tell in order to win. Credit to her though cause it worked
