A team spending over 3k to sabotage other teams is crazy

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Over 300,000 dollars. Blows my mind and I don't even know which team did it.

[@monetprotege]

I’d put my money on rob & amber. He’s always looking for a way to gain advantage.

[@anthonymendez1997]

@@monetprotege It depends on when this rule was changed. On TAR25, once you booked a flight and purchased tickets, you were stuck with that flight. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rob and Amber or Joe and Bill tried this strategy.

[@icewyre]

​@@monetprotege I heard it was most likely Colin & Christie. But yeah it definitely sounds like Rob thing to do haha.

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

@@OnceUponAnIsland Charla & Mirna is my bet. Mirna is a whole mastermind when it came to airport know-how. They were known for their sneaky airport tactics early on and even during All-Stars. She's the only one ruthless enough to do something to that magnitude. "Desmond, kick some people off... they don't need to go to Hong Kong. We need."

[@davel2990]

I think a "winner edit" is definitely easier on Survivor because there's a lot more "editable" elements to highlight strategy or the whole outwit outplay outlast thematic so once they know the final 3, they can choose to use or not use certain moments to paint a better picture. TAR is a lot less strategic and at the end of the day, if you suck at navigation or completing roadblocks/detours, there's only so much they can do in terms of editing.

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

To be honest, the winner's edit is a lot more prominent and obvious in the more recent seasons that it takes away the fun from watching the season play out. Ever since 30, they are always the ones who are neutral with their personalities in the broadcast and highlight moments more playfully than the rest of the teams.

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

I miss Elimination Station. Ari & Staella were so messyyyy even during the Ireland leg and their flameout from 1st to worst just by that donkey task is still one of the most karmatic and THE most entertaining I've seen in the history of the series.

[@justinpascal8332]

For the last secret I believe that it was Colin and Christie. Also Rob and Brennan debated doing it on season 1 and it was shown. They didn’t do it because they thought that it would be morally wrong

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

I still have a theory it's Charla & Mirna. I don't see Christie following through with a sabotage like that, but Mirna I definitely can and Charla obviously would string along. Or it could be a flop team like Marshall & Lance who couldn't get ahead.

[@eclipse528]

speaking of Andrew from season 3, Todd Herzog made a costum Pop figurine based on his appearance in Naked & Afraid a few months back

[@TheRManProds]

LOL THE NAKED RUN CHALLENGE!

[@ThomastheRiolpixQueen]

I loved the 2 that recornized Phil for that other show they seem fun, if they ever made auditions for the show they absolutely should get in automatically

[@gavinmiller2223]

Nice video! I’m not on the patreon anymore but covering Australian Survivor Hero’s vs Villains would be great content. Definitely had some great rivalries and character moments. Keep up the good work!

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Thanks!

[@SRFAA]

I appreciate the approach to editing even though I don't watch the show. I would watch Survivor occasionally from seasons 1-40, and I just feel like no one should be getting a "winner's edit" or "purple edit". Treat every player and episode fairly, cut out the filler stuff, give everyone opportunities for confessionals, and leave it alone. The viewer shouldn't be searching from day one to see who gets the most screentime to figure out who is important or not.

[@TheRManProds]

I REMEMBER TK AND RACHEL WALKING BAREFOOT ON THE ROCKS!

[@TheRManProds]

YAY ANOTHER AMAZING RACE VIDEO!

[@lachdoggy9806]

So TAR is the most real and unscripted reality show ever. No pre game alliances no retaking challenges or production orchestrating eliminations. TAR is the real one it’s incredible

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

TAR doesn't have time to do anything, it is go go go.

[@TheRManProds]

WE NEED THE RETURN OFELIMINATION STATION!

[@eric-is2ix]

I remember that Jason and Lorena U Turn. In a state of panic, Shana thought she saw Jason but it was actually TK.

[@MrJamieBattle]

I miss having the 7th season on DVD. IT WAS GOLDEN!!!

[@TheRManProds]

LOL JUST PLAIN SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mississippitornado6842]

SO RANDOM THE SHOW ABOUT 2 NAKED PEOPLE SURVIVING

[@aaronsmith4806]

Basically spent the prize money to buy out all the flights lol

[@PipsNails]

I’m British and I’ve never watched the shows you talk about but I still love your content. Is that weird? 😅

[@TheRManProds]

I MISS ELIMINATION STATION!

[@Wags13]

Let's watch It!

[@TheRManProds]

ARI IS SO ANNOYING!

[@mewsso]

slayed

[@Paul-zw7or]

Hi I'd really like to watch this video, but I just recently got into TAR! Will I get spoiled about who wins if I keep watching? I'm only on season 15 rn ☠

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Every season is eligible to be spoiled in the TAR secrets videos.

[@Paul-zw7or]

@@OnceUponAnIsland Then I'll wait a bit! thanks for letting me know! :)

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

Season 15 is great imo, enjoy it, savor it, cherish it while it lasts. Next season in your lineup will either have you in a breakdown or salty based on what everyone else says (my opinion ain't really matter here lol).

[@lilmyster1]

The video of Rob and Brennan is marked as Private. Where was this from? Does Phil have a podcast or something?

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Wow! They must have just privated the whole channel in the past few days. I literally watched the video through that link on March 21. The podcast is called Buckit with Phil Keoghan, but the viewership was low so they stopped making them a few years ago.

[@lilmyster1]

@@OnceUponAnIsland Too bad. He must have not promoted it. I listen To Rob Has A Podcast and they love Phil. If they didn't say anything about it, then very few knew the channel's existence

[@icewyre]

​@@lilmyster1 I watched a little after it came out and I was shocked by how few views it had. It was a good interview, I'm surprised it got privated.

[@RealTBTKenya]

The Big easy secret shocked me. What's his height by the way?

[@cooperc69420]

He's 6’9.

[@RealTBTKenya]

@@cooperc69420 😱 that's mind blowing

[@TheRManProds]

I WISH THEY BROUGHT ELIMINATION STATION BACK!

[@igaphilip8042]

Caro n ray

[@kevwwong]

It's weird - I loved the Holderness couple on the Race, I'm happy they won, and they seem like nice people, but I cannot get into their YT content at all. Lynn and Alex were completely insufferable when it came to hating on Rob and Amber.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

I see ads the Holderness family makes pop up on my social media timelines all the time, so they are making bank.

[@kevwwong]

@@OnceUponAnIsland Don't doubt that at all. Like I said, they seem like nice people, and if they're doing well, I'm happy for them.

[@bigbrothercomps2967]

I thought they had a limited budget so how did they spend $300,000?

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

This happened in the early seasons when teams could book (with the intention of switching flights, not blocking them) as many flights as they wanted.

[@anthonymendez1997]

@@OnceUponAnIsland I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe and Bill from season 1 tried doing this.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Season 1 had the restriction, season 2 is when they started to allow them to change flights. I wouldn't be surprised if Rob & Amber did this on season 7.

[@anthonymendez1997]

@@OnceUponAnIsland I didn’t know about the S1 restriction. Rob and Amber would definitely try this.
