If by any chance you'd be looking for more video ideas, I would like to see "tribes that were the best/worst at surviving". What tribe built the best shelter using only the enviroment, who made quick fires with no aid, who scavanged and hunted the most food. The game is the game, and the vast majority watches for the game, but general survival should be an important aspect that is often overlooked, dispite being in the very name of the show.

I still think Chicken makes a deep run if he makes the merge, as a non-threat that supposedly would've been loyal to whatever alliance he's in. He inherently had respect, if he had stayed assertive without being totally annoying, I actually see a winning path for him. Had great potential and was memorable character after only one episode. In my opinion, maybe the best all-time first boot.

[@trentgawd4292]

Moral of the story: play like Zane, but don’t play like Zane

[@raskkii]

I think David picking Garret isn't necessarily a bad move on its own. It's the way he explained it and made it so obvious that he's coming for Garret what made it so bad. He could have easily explained it with "historically this twist never eliminates anyone so I'm picking someone strong who I think will do well in whatever situation they're going to be put in".

[@PintheDog]

I don't think that Zane actually wanted to go home, and I don't think that the rest of Matsing wanted him to. Like you said, the rest of the tribe liked him so much and didn't want to vote him out, anyway. Where he went wrong was suggesting that Russell had an idol. That was what turned Malcolm, Angie, and Denise on to voting him out.

[@bluedevils481991]

Can’t believe I’m watching this video after it’s been up for several hours!

[@ajl9772]

I wouldn't put David's move of picking Garrett anywhere near the top. He had noway of knowing what was going to happen or how personal Garrett was gonna take it. Possibly he thought they were gonna make the 3 compete in some sort of challenge. If so, it would have been a great move and he'd have been on your last video. What he needed to do was squash the beef with Garrett immediately. I'd argue the overplay came from the rest of the tribe voting him out. How'd that work out for them? They got decimated lol. Recency bias is strong here. I actually think Jelenski's only real bad move was telling his tribe what happened on the adventure. The sweat challenge was given to them to wear them out. He knew his limits and knew they weren't going to finish it. He conserved their energy. Maria was already confident he was lying at the bluffing challenge. Not terrible to make friends and have the reputation of being a bad liar. Thats someone people want to keep around. You could argue the worst move of the episode was from his tribe voting him out. He was their 2nd strongest person on a tribe of 6. Just like with David, they got decimated for doing so. Zane imo made the worst move. Wendy Jo's was bad but she was at least trying to stick around. People basically told Zane they were going to vote for him if he didn't change his mind and he still told them to. He had already accomplished what he needed to when they were begging him to change his mind. I think Michelle Chase from Gabon should be on here for ignoring everyone aside from Kenny. She was far and away the strongest woman on their tribe. She was so bad that they kept an old woman who was fascinated with poop over her 💀

To be fair, the Jelinsky jug challenge was seemingly unwinnable.

[@kevwwong]

Imagine if Samson and his stepdad tried this hard with the Expos.

[@RockiesCanada]

I don't even think that throwing in the towel in that sweat versus savvy challenge was a bad idea. It looked IMPOSSIBLE. You just have to be able to sell a quit to your tribe. "There was no chance we were finishing it so we cut our losses"-way better than how Jelinsky tried to justify his quits

[@alanbarker4760]

I still think they should have wrapped their buffs around the base of the pots. Then you can realistically use one hand to cover the hole in the bottom and carry a lot more water successfully. But yeah, aside from using a little savvy with your sweat, that was definitely the least winnable version of sweat to date.

WENDY JO FOR SECOND CHANCES 2

[@liambarron9772]

Garrett catches a lot of flack for being an idiot even tho he's not, he's a genius poker player, and a very smart and articulate guy outside of poker as well. he's just a dopey survivor player

[@jasons9895]

my favorite part of Jillinski is the fact that he said several means seven, it's the one thing I remember about him besides the hour glass throw

[@Admiralkirk95]

I think Jelinski was from Las Vegas. If true, then he is someone from Vegas who sucks at lying, bluffing and bullshitting his way out of situations. He is the only player in survivor history that I think could actually be a plant, that's how bad he was. He talked of playing a huge game of control and big plays and advantages and showed himself to be completely spineless and somehow seem almost oblivious to it.

[@freddytang2128]

Wouldnt Wendy Jo's reason for vote out, basically describe like 10 other first boots like Deb from Australia, Peter from Marquesas, and so on? I feel like a lot of people have been voted out first for a combination of 1. older and/or weaker, 2. being weird and 3. not talking strategy, at least from what we saw on the show

[@aperson22222]

I know it's conventional wisdom that no one who survived a single tribal should be considered for worst of all time when so many others haven't. However, I have to call Bhanu the worst there's ever been. His failure was so incredibly pathetic and hard to watch, and he consistently made the same missteps over and over. I think someone who sucks so badly that he or she gets voted out right away despite the presence of more obvious targets is not necessarily as bad as someone who sucks, is saved by the presence of more obvious targets, and fails to learn to stop sucking despite multiple opportunities to do so.

[@mrrvriezen]

I noticed several bad moves here

[@chewydewok]

There is a reason these people were the first boots.

[@Sliacen]

I think David Samson's move to select Garrett would have been fine if he framed it better. Had he said something like "Jeff, I think you're tricking us and making our weakest do a challenge, so I'm selecting Garrett because he's our strongest," his move would have been fine. Instead, he said that he was playing for day 39 on day 1, which did nothing besides putting a target on his own back. He even could have just told Garrett that he anticipated the twist and chose him because he wanted to work with him, because he'd probably find an idol. Literally anything other than what he actually said.

[@Frames12521]

Shoula been top several and not top 5 smh

[@Ori_Kohav]

I gotta mention Reem from EoE. First she takes her tribemates’ cloths without asking, then she puts them to dry ON THE SAND, and then she doubles down and refuses to apologize. She was absolutely embarrassing, and imo doesn’t deserve to even be a jury member.

[@shadowninja6689]

I'm pretty sure that Season 12 Tina committed the exact same mistake as Wendy. The people on her tribe said that she never talked strategy with any of them, and she also didn't share very much about herself either, including that she had recently lost her son in a car accident. This is part of why Cirie was able to stick around over her.

[@IdoledOut]

True, but she has a huge asterisk for me just considering all the stuff she was going through in her personal life

[@NYChica23]

The whole part about not wanting to talk about her son is pretty understandable, because grief affects people in different ways, and maybe she felt that if she brought up Charlie's death, it would trigger something inside her that would get her to quit

[@krebyrocks77]

I can see all the arguments that were made but to me I still feel that Jelisnky is deserving of being considered the worst survivor player. Outplay: Gave up on the Sweat challenge, "Several hours means seven!" Outwit: Was mom'ed out of his vote by Maria. Outlast: Obviously he was the first boot but his performance during the entirety of the Immunity challenge was rough, nevermind just at the puzzle part.

[@XanderMatthews-nv9zf]

[@XanderMatthews-nv9zf]

I think Zane could’ve backed out of his fake quit after the fact, Angie didn’t want him to leave and I don’t think it’s be a stretch to have the anti-returnee sentiment prevail

[@pribehystrejdykuciho7633]

well, my strtegy would be propably the same as no 1, i hear the same a lot...

[@drewlmao]

I would argue that Rogue from Australian Survivor played a slightly worse game than Wendy Jo. Yes she wasn't the first boot but she was guaranteed to go home as soon as her tribe lost a challenge, and she said everything she could've to dig her grave even deeper. Wendy Jo could at least be endearing to some people on some seasons and I sorta feel bad for how her family misled her a bit, whereas I feel like any tribe would be genuinely offended by Rogue's presence

[@NYChica23]

I still remember Rogue's completely tone deaf comment to Nina when she said that she was more African American than Nina was

[@RyanC3ONE3]
