The Outcast Social Pariahs of Survivor

[@ytkenny5]

LMAO nothing will beat Rob's commentary on Matt during The Amazon: "Every morning I give Matt a debriefing of the wild goose chases I want him to work on for the day so he doesn't have any chance to figure out what's really going on"

[@magicwindow6682]

I love the spy music they put over it.

[@JerdMcLean]

That whole little arc to this day is the funniest thing I've ever seen on survivor. The fact Matt persists makes it even better.

"Why does he need the machete so sharp? I think he's gonna kill us." Dude, Amazon Rob has legendary lines.

Yeah he did.

Love how the entire talk about the most successfully sociable people speech was just a full montage of Kim the whole time

[@charlestoti2252]

She is the best social player ever. One World cast was basically Kim Spradlin's fan club. Everybody wanted to be Kim's bff and even when she brutally backstabbed her alliance’s member (Kat, Alicia, Jay) they still loved her. Best winner ever.

as a brazilian myself, I can definitely say that Abi's problem/attitude wasn't a cultural thing, she was just a mean, kind of clueless, girl and that's it, but it was fun to watch her though :P

[@darksiderider1233]

I imagined ppl from Brazil hating her because she just blamed her being a shitty person on being Brazilian. I have known numerous people from Brazil and they are all some of the nicest ppl I have met. It had nothing to do with culture and was entirely due to her just sucking as a person.

I feel that Sierra from season 18 wasn't so much of a social pariah as the rest of her tribe mates being bullies. They lied about her and treated her awful... I could never figure out why.

[@JosiahJohnMeyer]

@@t.d.mcinturff1712 Thanks for the comment T Mac. I still would say, even if she was annoying and did not do much around camp... they were still mean and lied about her. Do you have any clips from RHAP?

[@smitakshibarman9004]

I think it's because Coach decided to sacrifice her to advance his own game. For someone who didn't hesitate to use GOD and lied left and right to manipulate people, railroading cierra wasn't a big deal. Also, the power of religion have it's own sway, so the rest of the tribe just followed their glorified leader Coach

[@kingofthorns203]

I loved Sierra R (the original Survivor Sierra, at that). Apparently she was all set to come back as a Hero on HvV, but offscreen she'd gotten engaged to one of the producers! That's why Candice was brought in to that tribe as a replacement.

The segue from social queen Kim to the pariah Sierra was so cold lolol

[@kingofthorns203]

Eliza Orlins was on the bottom both of her seasons; in Vanuatu she managed to get herself to the final four, while in Micronesia it was a different story. Glad she made the jury though, as those reactions were priceless.

[@daniellegershman9165]

Christina from One World should also be included! No one seemed to like her (some even less than others) and she was just seen as completely disposable. Heck, she was even told to jump into the fire. I felt so bad for her watching the way she was treated. She seemed like such a truly nice girl and everyone just despised her for what appeared to be no reason. Even through swaps and merges she was never able to gain really any footing at all socially no matter how hard she tried. Watching the way she was treated was comparable to Alecia’s treatment in Kaoh Rong in my eyes, except she made it much further into the game, though solely because she was a number for difference alliances that wanted power. She was just seen as a free vote instead of a friend

Rob and Amber are embedded forever in my mind. All stars was the first season I ever watched, and I fell in love with their gameplay and love story. It's insane that after so long, they are still happily married and have four kids. Survivor helped make that happen. And we all got to see it unfold. It's beautiful💜

[@Arkaine197]

The difference in Cochran's games can be summed up one one word: Ozzy. Ozzy single handely made Cochran a pariah because he only respects challenge strength and in Redemption Island he had significant social influence being a legend and the only returning player on the tribe, had Ozzy not been there I think you'd have seen a game much closer to his second run.

[@charliez077]

could have been a factor too but I think Cochran also simply played a much better game in Caramoan. it's certainly true tho that the composition of his tribe in S23 didn't help him at all.

[@nicoles3070]

Just saw this on Reddit and wanted to share: what about a Best Moves in Challenges video? for example: Penner pulling all the balls out of the mud in his first run to make the game easier. It would be great!

[@tjflash60]

Great video. I don't think that a person who is uncomfortable socially can quickly transform into a social butterfly without being seen as fake. I do think that someone can learn not to be so socially awkward that they become an easy vote out early because performance has not been seen or alliances have been developed.

[@timschultz2560]

@@marksoucek1820 Ironically Francesca was voted out first in FvF because her tribe-mates felt like she was TOO good of a player - and therefore too dangerous to keep around.

Late to the party but... how about Pariah alliances?? In Edge of Extinction, Reem got yelled at for moving people's clothes, Kieth almost drowned, and even though Wendy's story was much more uplifting, she expressed comfort and confidence despite being inherently "different." And suddenly all three felt drawn to each other in an alliance of people whose only joining factor was misfit status. It may have been the most doomed alliance in recent memory.

[@ShadowandKirby324]

I would say Brian Heidik from Survivor Thailand can be considered as a pariah. He's very emotionless and had very few people that can actually get along with him, plus he's also a very unique winner from Survivor. I did like how he didn't show much emotion but was able to mesh well with few allies that can take him to the end. But when it comes to the vast majority, Brian isn't the first one to be sociable with from how I see it. I mean the guy was a bit awkward when he got a video tape of his wife in his season. I could be wrong about what I think of Brian, but that is how I saw him.

[@worthplayingfor2197]

Lol Russel Hantz made a KZbin live stream complaining why he thinks survivor ISNT a social game

[@bobgray6498]

lol He's so hopeless.. He could play the game 100x and never win

[@zoroark65]

It's still social. Ever since the very season the "most liked" person usually doesn't make it to the end if it's well-known how much they're liked. Kathy in Marquesas, Lex in Africa, Rudy in Borneo, Elisabeth in the Australian Outback. You don't have to be the most likable person in the entire cast, just more likable than the people sitting next to you on Day 39.

[@a.jdeets5527]

I would absolutely 100% be the pariah if I ever went on Survivor, just because I'm so introverted.
