Survivor: Winners at War Review

Reviewing the entire season of Survivor: Winners at War. Was it good, bad, or somewhere in between? Is it a top tier season or one of the worst?
I asked the audience over the past week to rate the season from 1-10, and the final verdict, after over a thousand responses, averaged to around a 9/10.
I think that fits.

I wish Yul made it to the merge. I feel like he could’ve done insanely well

[@ggsnubs]

I think if he made the merge, he wouldn’t have allowed Tony to run the game. A practical, strategic player like Yul would’ve seen what had to be done

[@logngetbetter]

Same with Parv. Last two old schoolers slashed before the merge and given the opportunity to get a footing they definitely would’ve.

Sandra and yul*

[@ColbyBumington]

Agreed so much potential for Yul to have stayed longer

[@logngetbetter]

Hoshiko Mizudori it’s been confirmed that Sandra’s elimination actually happened before Parvati’s- the episode was just edited to make it look like the Dakal tribal came after Sele’s since it had more theatrics with the double idol play (plus if you look at the bequeathal scenes after their eliminations, Sandra has the option to give her tokens to Parv but Parv does not have the option to give her tokens to Sandra).

[@Immallama22]

Very rarely does the most entertaining player win the season, and Tony has broken that mold twice. It's ESPECIALLY crazy that this was an All Star season, which historically ends up with pretty UTR winners at the end. We're truly in the greatest timeline.

Adam, clearly embarrassed "It was worth a shot." Jeff's sincere "Always." That exchange made me tear up. It was just so sweet and such a powerful moment. I loved that Jeff said that in that moment. I felt like Adam truly showed his Survivor spirit. He didn't care that it was embarrassing... it was worth taking the shot to try and save himself. But that's Survivor. You go out and try your best and you take all the shots you can. It's always worth it! Maybe I'm a sap, but I just loved that moment from this season.

Edge of Extinction isn’t my favorite thing on Survivor, but I feel it was absolutely needed this season. It would be such a let down if all the old school players were voted off first, and we never saw them again. Especially with no reunion show. I liked that we got a final goodbye to Sandra, Parvati, Rob, etc. But this definitely was my favorite season ever, and I never thought Survivor would ever top Heroes vs Villains. Tony was an absolute joy to watch and the ending of Cops R Us was amazing.

[@BenjaminKassel]

My top six WaW moments: 6. Michele's happy dances. 5. Sophie's 4-3-2 blindside. 4. Denise slaying the queen. 3. Tony's extortion revelation. 2. Adam's idol ploy (not play). 1. The fire-making challenge - especially the end, for two reasons: - I knew right then that Tony (who was initially my second choice behind Adam before becoming my favorite a bit before the merge) had won it all. My scream of "YES!" could be heard two blocks away. - The aftermath between Tony and Sarah is one of the most heart wrenching, emotional moments in Survivor history. What a great way to close the books on Cops R Us, quite arguably the greatest Survivor duo ever.

[@TrueGuardify]

I kind of hate how Denise gets praised for voting out Sandra. "Slaying the queen". I genuinely dislike Sandra as a winner but voting her out makes no sense... like, instead of having a connection/potential ally in Sandra by working with her, Denise takes out a big player and potential ally for her in the game just because... she wants people to remember her this season? Dumb move, shouldn't be praised for it. Makes complete sense to vote Tony out there but I'm not complaining, we get the best winner now.

[@_M41KU_]

I agree with all of these, Michele was so cute when she was happy dancing and I was a pretty big Tony fan from the start so that made this season so intense for me. And I love how he redeemed himself to Sarah in their heartwarming duo. He won as a villain and as a hero so nobody can deny that Tony is the king of survivor.

[@godsplan2359]

@@TrueGuardify True but Sandra made that comment about Denise not being a threat. That was very disrespectful. Sandra touting her own horn had been a problem and Denise taking her out because of it was very appropriate. Sandra has never dominated a game of survivor. She doesn't do anything but get sneak her way to the end and steal votes. She's Tony definition of a hyena

Redemption Island was really good tho on Blood vs Water, it brought so much more drama and entertainment to the season.

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

Elijah Culper Jeff KNOWS that nobody likes it and has stated it himself. Unfortunately though, instead of saying something like “we won’t bring it back again” he said like “it won’t be back for awhile” which annoys me, because jeff can be reallllllly dense when it comes to knowing what’s actually good for the show or not. if the fanbase hates it, get rid of it, period

[@PatrickGL]

I think that edge isn’t good but worked for this season as cbs wanted to get everyone screen time

[@JosiahVarenkamp]

I think the Edge was a nice addition for this season since most of my favorite players were voted out early, so it was nice to still get to see them. The back-and-forth of advantages and fire tokens was interesting to watch, especially with the extortion advantage. However, it shouldn't come back for the reasons already stated by other people.

[@MrFancyDragon]

I do have to say one thing that was so crazy about this season was all the whispering happening during tribal council. To be honest tho, that whispering got too out of hand and when Denise snapped, the whispering stopped from that point on. Boy those were crazy tribal councils

[@rainischalk-late3540]

It wasn't fair that he wasn't able to earn any fire tokens before the first challenge to get back in. He got punished for being the last voted out by getting no advantage in the challenge, which makes no sense considering he had played the best of all of them up to that point.

[@rileyesmay]

​@@zachcushing-murray2663 doesn't really matter. Look at nat, she had literally every advantage the first challenge too and did not get back in... I mean she did the second one, but she had to work her butt off, and she deserved it because nobody else from yul to boston rob, to amber who literally did nothing, they did not deserve to get back in. And the longer people are in the game, the more rice and stuff they have eaten theoretically so the fire tokens on EOE helped for the challenge, but you also have to earn them and Yul DID have a chance to earn some just like nat, but did not get as many. Yul should have became friends with Nat on EOE like Tyson lol. Bad move on his part siding with the old timers because he is one I really felt had a chance at winning the game.

[@zachcushing-murray2663]

@@rileyesmay I'm referring specifically to the first challenge that Tyson won. Yul had been voted off the night before, so he had no chance to get tokens on eoe before the challenge. During the challenge, he was forced to go faster than Tyson and Rob in order to catch up, and was still neck and neck. Give him the extra 45sec he spent digging and he has a comfortable lead and can take it slowly rather than rushing to catch up.

Answering your points: - Jeff has stated that production will always ensure at least 1 person is not immune in any way possible. This scenario played out on Game Changers with Cirie’s elimination. - As with all tie votes, revote, then if there’s no one left to draw rocks, fire-making challenge - They have never answered this question specifically, but speculation has it that they either bring out people from Ponderosa ie pre-jury, to form a temporary jury and revote on the winner. Either that or fire making to determine the winner.

[@trollwayy5981]

Joshua Lim probably fire

[@OriginalKanyeTPain]

-rocks if they HAVE to but since everyone is immune they probably just send everyone back to camp and have to do a double later on -rocks -probably would just make everyone vote again

[@guntherstewart8941]

OMG I remember you put footage form the genius in the purple edit video. I asked you what it was and you told me. As a person learning Korean I was so hooked to find a competition reality show in Korean. hearing you talk about the garnets at the end was such a good point. I don't think fire tokens being potential money would've changed much since the winners really all wanted to play hard. However, for first-time players, I think fire tokens acting as garnets would cause more thought to go into whether or not they should buy an advantage or not.

[@BlueSpiceSpace]

26:17 This is a really important point it felt like Yul, Wendell, & Adam were punished for doing better in the game since they had pretty much no opprotunity to get tokens

Hey man, love the Genius shoutout. If possible, maybe you should make a video talking about/promoting The Genius since it's the Survivor off-season now (and potentially will be for a while) and maybe fans would enjoy another brilliant show to check out.

[@brianwolfson8731]

Ur my favorite youtuber hands down, it definitely helped the season's ranking that Tony won

[@blah_blurt_blah]

Great season, bad boot order.

[@lafingscarecrow]

agreed. i wish they'd done the season old school vs new school, and brought back players like earl, jenna, and vecepia. if i were to cast winners at war i'd put those three in for old school, take sandra out because she was disappointing this season, and for the new schoolers, i'd take out nick and michele to make the tribes even.

[@zyxus7750]

The way you recapped some of the player's games just made me emotional

[@graymyers]

One thing I wish was different about this season is that they drew a line of "old school" and "new school," and had those be the two tribes from the start. That way come merge, we would've had some more Yuls and Parvatis and less Micheles and Nicks

[@JellyJerryy]

to be honest we would appreciate a lot more game play and social dynamics shown to us I LOVED the 21:00 segment We are extremely blessed to witness Survivor 40 and your videos, Peridiam Team Michelle btw ;)

[@rob3405]

as always, i loved your video! i'm a bit more critical on this season (messy editing), and tony's win (i don't think he should be considered the greatest of all time), but you can't help but love the cast. the pre-merge was a dream! excited to see where you take the channel next

[@GerritCoulter]

The simplest way to fix the edge of extinction is to send all the losers of the 1st battle back (at the merge) home/to ponderosa. That way we don't get a person winning who only spend like 8 days actually playing in the main game.

[@lafingscarecrow]

finally someone who sees that.

[@hockeyguy6193]

I’m 15 and I really want to play the game. I was really disappointed when they lowered the age but it was to 16. however I can’t wait to get on the island and hopefully win the season! It’s a nice bit of hope during this time and I think that is the best part of this show it lets you escape a little bit

remember me when you win

Doug Yeah. The edge was bad for the game. But from what I’ve seen from cbs, including it was necessary to get the cast for season 40 to agree to come back. So I guess it’s worth it.

I have nothing to compare it too, but I felt so exhilarated watching this season and I don't know how I can watch any other season after this AHHH!

[@tjr2312]

@@uknownlight even beating Tony she shouldn't have a chance against Sarah or Michelle

[@cjtrules1]

It would have been a more interesting final tribal because there is no clear cut winner. Natalie did what she said when entering the game. Michele still didn't control anything BUT survived the most. Sarah was with Tony a ton but was in the majority most of the game. Multiple people (I think at least 3 or 4) said they were going to vote for Michele, but didn't because they were scared that Natalie would win and wanted to have a good representative to win their season.

[@user-bl7uc1dx6p]

i find it interesting how people are very quick to come for Natalie saying she doesn’t deserve a win no matter how she played or who she knocked out, yet the same people supported Chris’ win when he did the same 😬
