Natalie betraying Baylor is underrated. She played the hell outta her closest ally. So much so that when Nat played the idol for her alliance’s enemy Missy thought she’d be the one to get voted out, not Baylor who viewed Nat as her big sister.

[@trumpydog9441]

It was a great move and you are correct in the reactions. As soon as she played it for Jaclyn, Baylor and Missy said their goodbyes as if Missy was going home. Great advantage play, great blindside.

[@Peridiam]

Ethan Hedeen I could definitely see this one being included. Blindsiding a family! I love the Baylor blindside - first #1 ranking I ever made. I don’t consider it thaaat brutal in the end - just a fun little betrayal of trust. 🥰

[@shaunakaplan5322]

Not to mention she played the idol on Jacklyn. And Natalie found the idol with the clue that Baylor gave her... Genious!

To me everyone on Caramoan (especially Dawn) voting out Brenda after she gave up her loved ones visit so they could all spend time with their families (and after she found Dawn’s retainer) was especially brutal. Also bad because Brenda and Dawn were the last two in the immunity challenge and Brenda gave it up because she trusted Dawn

[@LadyImagine]

Totally, at the end of the day it is Survivor, but when you're that brutal you have to be ready for the repercussions.

[@MaruchanPrime]

I don't think Dawn was brutal. She actually played the game quite well, I just feel as though she didn't articulate her game good enough to the jury at the end. If she threw Cochran under the bus as more of a goat it could've garnered respect over some or the harsher choices. Brenda was just bitter, plain and simple. I mean literally watch caramoan and name one thing Brenda even does until the Family Visit that isn't just being an alliance member to Cochran, Dawn and Phillip. She's not a good player.

[@ch-su5oc]

@@MaruchanPrime same I hate how somehow everyone is on Brenda’s side when that was smart by dawn like what makes this different from any other blindside. Also apparently dawn was mugged before the season and that’s how she lost her teeth, so that was super sad for her

[@zeaferjones1404]

@@ch-su5oc Using the family visit as a way to blindside someone was more despicable than most blindsides on the show. I think Dawn was worse because Brenda gave her the immunity win sort of like what Parvati did with Danielle in HvV. However, I can't really get on board with Cochran either for that. It didn't feel like the regular strategic blindside like say Nick during Michele's winning season or Ozzy on Parvati's season. They milked all they could out of Brenda ruthlessly got rid of her. What Andrea was trying to pull on Brenda the tribal before seemed nice in comparison.

[@ARedToilet]

[@mckinlylove21]

The Brenda betrayal was hard to watch. You could see Brenda was truly hurt, I get why Brenda asked Dawn to do that but I think people took it too far with the bullying. I think it hurt so many people on Brendas end because of the lead up, her getting Dawns teeth and then the family reward.

[@ggsnubs]

Mckinly Noel yeah the whole thing is super tough. I feel like Dawn had a proper motive to vote Brenda out (to get to the end) while Brenda had no proper motive to do what she did. It sort of seemed like Brenda was going to vote for Dawn to win if she complied, but turns out, the only motive for Brenda was bitterness and revenge

[@kaileim970]

Thought Brenda was needlessly cruel.

[@jamalmorrow7058]

Wild Card Watson bc Andrea that same day was trying to get the alliance to vote out Brenda

[@ricardosalmeron1946]

Brenda was mean and always tried so hard to use the flirt card when she didn't need it also her attitude was nasty and blindsided andrea and wanted to do the same with chrocran

[@MsVitaD]

Wild Card Watson Andrea was coming for Brenda, Brenda wasn’t coming for Dawn, and Andrea didn’t find Brenda’s teeth like Brenda did for Dawn nor did Andrea give everyone the chance to see their families like Brenda did, so no Brenda is not a hypocrite.

[@andrewsjolander4426]

let’s not forget when parvati and cirie betrayed ozzy in season 16

[@nizzle428]

Andrew Sjolander that one was tough, especially when ozzy called parv out at final tribal

[@Timothy-sy1fw]

Andrew Sjolander IMO, it’s not that big a blindside relationship wise, it’s the type of stuff that happens all the time. The only reason people are thinking of this is because Ozzy whines like a little bitch

[@Evelyne571]

Timothy yeah I just rewatched that season and ozzy comes off like a crybaby.

[@English_MoFo]

I know right! He gazed away and married a sex kitten with a million dollars! He's dominated every all season he's played✅

[@kenneyp.9456]

One of my favorite seasons cause how real it got

[@Jacois]

I'm proud of Cochran for that betrayal. His tribe treated him like absolute garbage, and strategically he was the bottom of either side. I wouldn't even call it a betrayal, since his tribe openly mocked him leading up to the merge, and even afterwards had zero grace, and they took zero responsibility for Cochran. Thanks for the vid. :)

[@TarkinBaroth]

They bullied him to no end and got what they deserved. Coach saw what was happening and, probably for strategy reasons but possibly because deep-down I get the feeling Coach has also experienced that kind of treatment and so he could empathize, offered Cochran basic respectful treatment. While he didn't win, Cochran stood against the bullying and probably felt very good about himself which then led to a triumphant return the next time out. (I still think Coach was robbed that season from a butt-hurt jury).

[@TrueGuardify]

Late here but I think Coach loses mostly because of the fact he tries to come across like some honourable zen god when in reality he told a lot of lies and used religion to keep his tribe in line. If he would've owned up to his wrong's or what he did Coach probably would've won South Pacific, and I find it hilarious to imagine Coach actually winning a game HAHAHAHHA

[@hummingbirdcake1902]

When Cochran flipped, it made me happy at the time tbh. It gave me courage to cut ties with some toxic friends real life, which was messy but I ended up better off for it.

[@connorspencer4283]

I think Cochran might have won had coach not been an idiot. I heard coach say that if he wasn't so true to his word (lol) that he would have rather played with Cochran and Edna. He probably could pull Brandon in to vote out Sophie or Albert at 7. If the final 3 was Cochran (whom his tribe hates), coach (whom everyone who has ever seen survivor hates), and Edna who came across as annoying and on the outs (but we may get a different edit if she makes it to the final 3 and/or wins), who wins? Maybe Cochran. That's why I think it wasn't dumb of him to flip.

[@hunbi1875]

Yeah it always amazes me how they treated cochran like shit, and even though they knew he wouldnt go to rocks, still let that situation happen and then berated him after he flipped, only proving he made the right call.

[@StevyWondr1]

Jay's blindside was intense. It wasn't great strategy, and Michaela was right about him messing up a good thing. The big payback: Jay smugness at thinking he was safe from David's fake idol.

[@stefanstenroos6344]

Boston Rob's betrayal was obvious. What struck me more was when Kathy offered up the immunity necklace to Lex right afterwards and then pulled the rug out from under him during that absolutely drenched Tribal Council. That betrayal often gets eclipsed by Rob's power move. One of the best Survivor Moments ever.

[@roger_towny_jr]

Actually that was editing. Lex openly said he did not expect to get Kathy's necklace. When you see him shaking his head, it's actually in reaction to what Rob said about still being his friend.

[@ClaireElizabethvlogs]

God. The Brenda and Dawn betrayal has always been so....ugh. I still, years later, don’t know how I feel. It’s the only betrayal I haven’t been amused by. All the other ones, I find it easy to justify it as “it’s the game” but damn man. Brenda/Dawn is brutal

[@b_norr]

One of the things I always find interesting is how Scot always expected Tai to play the idol. Had Tai played the idol for Scot, we'd have had a 2-2 tie between Tai and Aubry, and the way the game was situated at that time, would it not be fair to assume that Tai would go in the revote?

[@danielkennison4821]

For me, the one blindside that hurts the most was Erik vs the Black Widow Brigade / final 5 tribal 🥺😢

[@Grant-mo6ig]

[@pronoob4386]

@@Grant-mo6ig Aside from Erik lol

[@scottiethegreat74]

Only Eric saw that as a blindside!! Ok, we got to watch the lead up to the vote, so we knew it was coming. But the jury had no prior knowledge, and their reaction showed exactly what they knew was coming!! It wasn't a blindside, it was just naivety shown in the most comprehensive way possible!! 😂😂

[@d5rmantis]

For me, the hardest one to watch was in Nicaragua when Holly, Chase, and Sash turn on Jane at final six. When she confronts them before tribal council to discuss the vote and then they sheepishly tell her they’re voting her out without even being able to look at her, and watching her heart break and her subsequent meltdown.

[@roger_towny_jr]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Dawn got a raw deal. Everyone is so quick to point out Drawn's betrayal, yet completely ignore the fact that Dawn did save Brenda in the previous tribal when Andrea was targeting her. It's also extremely hypocritical for Brenda to laugh like a giggly little schoolgirl when they blindside Andrea (who in contrast, was such an awesome sport about it despite leaving with an idol in her pocket), but once it's her turn to be on the receiving end of a blindside, all of a sudden the game isn't fun anymore and she takes it super personally?

[@gorillatitty5537]

This this this and this!! I never felt sorry for Brenda. She would laugh in other's faces but when it came to her she was the poor little victim. What Dawn did was purely based on game, but Brenda made it personal and this is always how I'll feel about the situation.

[@simplebutpowerful]

and Andrea's reward for being a good sport was being brought back for a 3rd appearance, while Brenda almost certainly will not be back

[@sanjumitra1]

I think you are not understanding the context of why Brenda was hurt. Andrea was COMING AFTER Brenda and had written her name down for which Brenda giggled Brenda had also found Dawb 's teeth which made their bond much stronger and like she said in her final speech that Cochran and Sherri had blindsided her too, but she was OK with that because she did not have the same bond she had with Dawn. She was heart broken to know that Dawn had betrayed her like that

[@roger_towny_jr]

@@sanjumitra1 Oh, I understand the context perfectly. I still don't think it justifies what Brenda did to Dawn in the slightest. Dawn and Cochran both saved Brenda by orchestrating the Andrea blindside. How does Brenda thank them? By trying to orchestrate a blindside on Cochran. Cochran may not have pulled Dawn's teeth out of the water, but they were still extremely close and played the whole game together. In order for Dawn to stay loyal to Brenda she would of had to betray Cochran, so apparently she's a traitor regardless. Sorry she didn't go with the popular choice, but villifying her for playing the game with vitriol that goes way beyond the game was immature and uncalled for.

[@freeloadingmf]

@@roger_towny_jr Well if Dawn had gotten rid of Cochran, she might have actually had a shot at winning instead of being his goat. She let him tank her game a second time. Brenda was a closer ally of Dawn/Cochran's than Andrea so it made sense for them to save her. At the time, Andrea was also a bigger threat. But the game evolves day to day and I believe it was both in Dawn and Brenda's best interest to get rid of Cochran at that time. He won, so Brenda was right. I think the sting of this betrayal is similar to Rob/Lex where one is thinking on a game level and the other believes the bond transcends the game. Final tribal was rough and I have to watch that with my hands in front of my face, but I could see where Brenda was coming from. Dawn said she'd quit if she didn't have her teeth and when confronted denied that so Brenda said prove it. Dawn mostly annoyed me because of her ridiculous waterworks every other minute and over the top reaction to the family visit rather than the betrayal.

One big detail about the Scot vote out, the the vote was 4-2-2 where based on the way Tai voted, more so than the lack of the idol giving, that Tai had no choice but to keep his idol as he had 2 votes and likely is voted out in the revote. Scot and Jason based on the vote count alone would have known something was up.

[@LadyImagine]

Brenda was entirely justified in asking Dawn to take out her teeth. Everything Dawn was saying diminished what Brenda had done for her. She almost withdrew from the game over something cosmetic but contradicted herself in saying that wasn't the case at the FTC. Sure Brenda was hurt and that came across quite strongly, but Brenda was motivated by Dawn owning up to what she was claiming, rather than humiliating her. That being said, Brenda blindsided her ally Andrea the tribal before that. You can't have your cake and eat it too in Survivor. The personal connections weren't as strong between Brenda and Andrea, as they were with Dawn and Brenda, but it was still a blindside/betrayal. I do agree that the fan reaction was pretty horrific though.

Tai was only holding one half of the idol. Scot had the other have (given to him by Jason) and he went home with it.

[@lallana2882]

What Brenda did was mortifying. I'm grossed out that the audience was on her side.

[@JurijFedorov]

I'm addicted to this channel.

[@drewveflin2842]

you deserve all of the subscribers

[@courtneyglazer]

Could you make a video of your favorite survivor characters? Like people who weren’t necessarily good players but who were super entertaining to watch (Courtney yates, Nora, Phillip, coach, etc.) Or a video evaluating the notorious “stupid moves” that survivors have made, and how stupid they actually were, or if they were reasonable to make (Erik giving up immunity, JT giving Russell the idol, woo taking tony to the final 3, etc.)

[@rachsounds]

Yau man 😭 i still remember that situation from the first few seasons i watched and it sure left an impression, heck it even made me a fan of both Yau man and the show Thanks for making this video Peridiam

[@a.jdeets5527]

The Brenda blindside was one of the cruelest backstabs in RTV history, it was so hard to watch. Dawn pissed me off with the way she acted the entire episode, but Brenda’s jury speech was even worse than what Dawn did to her. Brenda should’ve voted for Dawn to win.

[@macandrew7711]

Hey Peridiam, would you ever like to see a season with a 3.2.1 tribe format. The numbers represent if they are a third season returnee tribe, a returnee tribe and newbies? Like a 6/6/6 tribe division. It can show more of different styles of how Survivors think as they gain experience or watch the show.

[@Peridiam]

Macs Utopia That would be kinda interesting actually! An unusual twist on returning player seasons. Maybe a couple years from now? I fear the newbies would be roadkill though. And I’m not sure the producers are that invested in the difference between times playing, but it’s a convenient excuse, especially as Survivor becomes more and more meta. What would you title the season?

[@macandrew7711]

Peridiam Legends vs Veterans vs Rookies perhaps. They’d have to cast some good newbies for it, not just model agencies like other seasons have.

[@maryanc8753]

I think Millenials vs Gen X was the first season of survivor I really remember watching (apart from some episodes of Palau way back) and oooohhhh boy I loved Michaela so much and Will annoyed tf out of me so needless to say I too felt betrayed

[@ajl9772]

3 big ones I think should be mentioned. Ozzy being blindsided by Parvati. I mean that's someone he had a friendship with outside the game. Kim and Alicia blindsiding Kat was brutal. That was the original final 3 alliance. If you see Ponderosa you'll see she had break down over it and she is visibly broken up about it when sitting on the jury next tribal. Also Russell betraying Danielle. That was the original final alliance for him and she was with and Parvati when no one else was. The reason it's brutal to me is the way he did it. He kept calling her liar and made her cry before the vote.

[@yaboi912]

People are completely gonna forget about the Aras and Shane vote and that's upsetting. Also Terri being totally betrayed by Danielle at the very end after not getting a vote the whole game was amazing too.

[@sarahrambhatla9257]

I was waiting for the Dawn and Brenda situation. That was brutal, I felt so bad for Brenda because she did everything she could for the tribe. I do slightly feel bad for dawn too though. The whole situation just makes me feel icky.

[@nhagelin1026]

On the subject of Tai’s betrayal of Scot and Jason: I should mention a few details are out of place on this video: Tai actually found his half of the super idol at Gondol prior to the swap. Same with Jason and Scot finding theirs at To Tang (keep in mind, when they’re separated they still functioned as regular HIIs). When Scot found out Tai had the Gondol idol after the swap, and Scot reunited with Jason, they made the plan to use the Super Idol should they ever need it. At that Tribal Council, Scot was actually holding Jason’s idol, not Tai. The thing that makes this betrayal even more brutal is that because Tai didn’t give his half of the idol, Scot was officially eliminated with Jason’s idol in his pocket, and per the rules couldn’t give it back to Jason. Absolutely savage.

[@504ever4]

I completely get why you didn't include it, but I feel like Dean voting out Kellee after she just saved him with the idol was really brutal. Not to mention all of the other stuff that came along with it

[@AndyGman2]

I guess this came out before Denise was dubbed the Queenslayer lol

[@ScheidelJake]

Could you do a video explaining the differences between alliances, trust clusters and voting blocs? I know they're supposedly three different things but I could not define them

[@OneBraveSoulBeauty]

Jake Scheidel alliances have more long term loyalty. The rest are just about what's convenient in the moment and where the numbers are.

[@lavetha27]

What made Dawn/Brenda particularly bad is that Dawn constantly hid behind her religion and tried to give outward appearances of being trustworthy. I know it's a game but I'd be upset if I went out of my way for someone then have them vote me out, particularly after smiling in my face about how righteous she was. Although, that doesn't justify Brenda's behavior either, so it's cringe all the way around.

[@rilenaveen5695]

Agree

[@elijahculper5522]

What about Ben from HHH? He managed to hide the fact that he had betrayed his alliance so that at the next tribal council he could betray them again. That was brutal af.

[@waleezz3683]

how do your record these survivor clips

[@barrymacogner4493]

@Peridiam please do a video on phrases that have ended the game for players - like Julia saying "you're such a passenger Rick" in EoE (you could also put Varner calling out Zeke if you wanna get controversial)

[@temporal4652]

"I say stick to the plan"

[@johnfeather6476]

This doesn’t really count, but Shii-Ann getting voted out by Sook Jai because she “attempted” to betray her tribe and failed because of the fake merge was brutal.

[@moviemaniac14]

I’m shocked you didn’t mention Rob Cesternino betraying Jenna and Heidi by voting out Alex on Survivor: Amazon. One of the few betrayals to where he still would’ve actually won the game had he made it to the final 2.

[@Peridiam]

Alex revealed to Rob that Rob was the low man on the totem pole. I think the women took it hard, but it wasn't that brutal.

[@elyseenriquez5284]

Can you please do a video about Australian survivor! Me and my dad watch it and it’s so good. The challenges are harder, they go for 50 days, and the game play is great. Just something to look into 👍🏽

[@hunterdvs6535]

I like when you mention the foreign seasons Brooke getting betrayed by flick was one of the best betrayals

[@naovsky]

From my memory, Tai didn't hold both halves of the super-idol, Scot had one half and Tai had the other. Otherwise Tai would have played the super-idol later, which he didn't. Jason also complained that Scot left the game holding his idol, which he could have used and went to waste instead

[@Peridiam]

Nomi Vilvovsky Yep, I misremembered.

[@ARedToilet]

So what's your thought on the mutiny twist in cook islands? (It did appear in Thailand but didnt amount to much) technically Penner betrayed 1 tribe and at the merge betrayed the other

[@fawazal-shamroukh8445]

Ur channel is the really the place for hidden and big info about #survivor I really like it and I watched most of the eps, can u plz do and ep about the social game of aubry and her game in piratical! I really wanted to understand more about her game from her season 1, thanks

[@lachlanharris6001]

Peridiam can you please review Survivor Australia: All Stars when it finishes? Dave is 100% going to win but his dominance over thos game is astounding similiar to Kim from Worlds Apart and I would just love to hear your opinion on the Australian version of the show 😁

[@marklisowski6549]

Since BBCan is coming up soon, are you going any BB content or just focus on this Survivor season?

[@kimclaussen9413]

I think the asterisk on the Tai betrayal is that Scott and Jason were also acting like mafia-style bullies and Tai not playing the idol felt SO much like he was finally breaking free of them and that they were reaping what they sowed. Maybe if they hadn't been such raging bullies, maybe Tai would have played the idol after all. 🤷‍♀️
