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.

[@AkronJosh]

Idk Rob will be back IMO if they have a Legends season in the next couple years. Survivor 42 or 45 is almost certain to be Legends.

[@bunny_0288]

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.

[@6Pope9]

You’re right, it was powerful

[@davidwagner5583]

Not an Adam fan here, but u enjoyed that moment

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

[@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.

Elijah Culper Jeff KNOWS that nobody likes it and has stated it himself.

[@SilverbackCrow]

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.

Ayyy another fur that loves Survivor!

[@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

[@queentangy]

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.

The way I see it, the wiping out of the old school was detrimental to the season and should have been foreseen by producers. It was 12 vs 8, meaning 4 old school winners in each tribe. a 9 vs 9, old school tribe vs new school tribe, would have almost made sure some old school winners would have made the merge.

[@joshualim85]

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.

[@zumbudeawndeinternet8645]

Agreed, amazing season, best cast, though not as top notch as those seasons. Actually 5th for me, behind Tocantins as well.

[@jamelmenga3020]

It's not the best cast but it's a great cast tho

[@Penelope9441]

Peridium, I've been a big fan of your different survivor series tropes for a while, but I have to say you did a wonderful job with WaW. Your Wednesday vids became a big part of this season for me. I demand MOAR!

[@Steezindud]

I believe Heroes Vs Villains is a much better season. The beginning of WaW became too predictable with old school after old school player being voted out. There was an energy and electricity to HvV that Winners at War just did not have. It was a more aggressive season with colorful characters and a more balanced playing field. The strategy was never to take out the most threatening people in HvV as we had two winners and a runner up make it to that final 3. Although everybody in WaW had won the game at some point, the one time players were too threatened by the legends. Imagine Adam, Ben, or Nick in HvV? It'd be laughable. The intensity of that season is still unmatched for me

[@theobecquet8477]

I don't get the point about Adam, Ben and Nick. If I got It well, you're saying that they would be too weak players to compete in the HvV cast, but they actually didn't do that great in WAW either in my opinion

[@Jack-ol1io]

Heros vs villens is overrated after the jt vote ever thing was ruled by Russell and parvati and they didn't even win 🙄 so overrated 😴

[@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.

[@Reese_Annaratone]

@@iam_vannguyen on Samoa he wasn't that bad I agree that Parvati should have won HvV but Samoa. They were a bunch of bitter bitches. He did not mock them in Samoa and he should have won. Change my mind.

[@itsnobodyy]

My dad said “tony looks strung out all the time” during one of the episodes and it made me realize that it’s cuz his mind is constantly going. You can tell who’s really playing cuz tony was the only one that really looked exhausted all the time. He thinks 10 moves ahead and it shows.

[@Leah-xq5tn]

Yea and that scene where he says 9 days is two weeks. He never went to sleep. He stayed at the beach thinking and looking for idols during the night.

[@baechusquad]

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.

[@tzvielkahan1176]

Either way Natalie didn’t deserve to win even If she won fire

[@uknownlight]

If she beat Tony she would have even rob said so

[@FiveViolEtFreddys]

rob said so? damn it must be true then

[@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 😬

[@PapaVerstappen]

Thank you for making this vid Peridiam

[@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

[@patrickandginacostin8617]

remember me when you win

[@potatoninjuh1221]

Nice to hear you name-drop the genius! A Korean show that I'd seriously recommend checking out in the off-season if you're wanting something to fill the survivor hole!

[@katherinepeticolas5039]

"3 out of 4. We're in the majors. I'm batting 750. I'm the best that's ever played". One of the BEST survivor quotes of all time

[@jamescastrillon9954]

Perdiam, you give the best analysis across KZbin for survivor. Keep it up👍🏼

[@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

[@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

[@matthewcastor5113]

I love Jeremy because he always has a death glare

[@TheVideomakerArchive]

Great job as always! The one thing I missed was the reward content.

[@itsnobodyy]

Michelle deserves more credit. She wanted to make big moves every day but no one would work with her so what else could she do.

[@NotInformedOfficial]

The flaw of the edge is that in a real survivor situation(which the show is mirrored upon), once you die(symbolically shown in the game as your fire dying out), there's no second life. The whole premise of the game is to survive your ONLY life. That's why you do everything to kill than be killed. The edge gives you 2 Lives, which isn't innate and is something people can't inexplicably relate to. It's that feeling that makes that you feel like there's "something not right about it" when you watch it. Imagine being an actual castaway, killing a rival castaway to survive, and then somehow that dead rival is able to influence the physical world by sending disadvantages from purgatory. whuut

[@Ojisan642]

12:36 BAM, hit em with the Peridiam edit

[@user-zm7sy3bu1k]

17:02 in spite of the spoilers i thought Sarah was gonna win the fire making challenge.

[@DougS04]

Such a shame the edge had to tarnish an otherwise amazing season...

[@elijahculper5522]

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.

[@taimana1115]

I guess I misheard right on that mafioso video lmao. Also, fantastic season. Just finished! I got a CBS subscription just cuz your videos started popping up in my recommendations again and I wanted to get back into Survivor. Glad I did :)

[@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.

[@lifeisarealmystery6999]

That last edit to Tony's cast assessment for cagayan was gold. Bang Bang!

[@95KyBoo]

Yess! I was waiting for this! All Hail Tony Vlachos!! The King of Survivor!👑

[@isaiahwilliams5501]

For future seasons idols and advantage should cost fire tokens after a player finds it. After a player finds an idol or advantage they have to pay a certain amount of fire tokens by sundown or it will be rehidden. So idols would be one fire token in the beginning and the price increases throughout the game. This would be interesting because it force players to collaborate with other players when finding advantages and stop other players from going on an idol rampages like Ben or Rick Devens.

[@christiangal2124]

That's definitely coming into play for future upcoming seasons any idols and advantages they found must cost a certain amount tokens to purchase it or it expires by sundown

[@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.

[@hewiebecker6165]

1:53 Rob got an extra (what I would presume to be) Red Sox poster for Amber to stream in front of.

[@gmsimon]

Imagine if Sandra never gave up her idol... Tony would've been gone that episode because everyone else had a get out of jail card.

[@erikhighh]

I love how you mention The Genius. It's such a great show that's similar to Survivor strategically.

[@karenfry642]

I'm waiting for a season where they all live together (one big tribe) and at every challenge they draw straws for which tribe they belong to and compete as that tribe just for that particular challenge. so your "tribe" would always be changing.That way it would make tribal councils really interesting if all your alliances are not on your tribe for the day.

[@sharmainetablada1484]

A few months ago, I saw Peridiam's video on Survivor players who hacked challenges and because of those videos, I started watching the show. Today, I just finished Winners at War and I just really want to thank you, Peridiam, for bringing this show into my life and making my days stuck at home a lot better.

“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize the power of these scenes” .......shows Parviti’s husband 😂😂😂

[@elijahtheprophet8042]

Sarah’s journey over three seasons is one of the best I’ve ever seen in ANY piece of artistic work. So true, so beautiful, and it almost made me cry. She’s grown so much as a player and a person and for Cops R Us to have this as the end to their journey together. I love her💗

[@GamingFanactic911]

Not my favorite season; that still holds to H v V. However, it is in the Top 10. It was such a fun and entertaining season. I am not a huge fan of the edge but the fire tokens made it interesting and fun. I wish the episodes were longer though in some cases but it still had great moments. The only thing I was upset about was most of the old school players went first. I was hoping to see Parvati play a lot longer. Denise taking out Sandra was soooo brutal but I give her props. Brilliant move. I could keep going on but long story short, it is a great way to celebrate 20 years of the show. Can't wait for season 41 and on. :D

[@KingsNerdCave]

I thought the season was very entertaining, though as someone who is bigger fan of the more methodical old school vs the hyper-focused, everyone is playing at day 1 new school, I was very annoyed to watch all my favorites go so early. Rob's my favorite all-time player and I was so mad watching him use his smart but obvious tactic which got him the boot and I was super bummed Yul didn't make the merge. I think Tony did great and is a deserving winner, I just really would have liked to see the merge have several big players going after one another rather than Tony, Kim, and several under the radar players. I think the Edge of Extinction is dumb and does eat up a lot of time, but for this season I think it worked because we get more time with all the players and they get those satisfying endings.
