Survivor Thread (Re-named) *US Spoilers*

Don't think Spencer won it for Tony. He won 8-1, doubt that Spencer seriously influenced that many people.

How you can say this is bizarre. He's not even close to being a worst of all time contender. He made it to the final 2 which is a fucking great achievement, and he was only one wrong move away from a million dollars. He also was in deep shit after the 1st merge when his alliance got voted out by Tony/Trish and he swung himself back into the game perfectly.

 

Nup. You're judging a player's ability on a set of pre-defined rules and regulations that you've set out for the game, it has nothing to do with that. "He didn't get himself to the final two." Yes he fucking did. By choosing who he aligned with throughout the game he made it to the final two, whether or not he was a challenge beast or a tactical mastermind like you seem to think they have to be. He was one step away from winning the game so for you to call him the worst of all time is honestly retarded and you're definitely ignoring huge social portions of the game. If you want some genuine worst of all time contenders, how about you look at Zane from Phillipines or Wendy from Nicaragua. These are people so socially or physically inept they didn't even come close to hearing about a merge, let alone making the final two.

 

You are confusing a social game with a tactical game. Saying the game passed him by has nothing to do with his social game. He was mostly fairly well-liked and tolerated by all and his social game was clearly superior to Kass (as the jury agreed on the reunion), J'Tia and Lindsey from this season alone (and you could definitely argue that he had a better social game than most of the other contestants as well). Tactically he offered nothing - I agree, but physically and socially he was very respectable. On most accounts you need to have all 3 to win Survivor (physical, tactical, social) and I think it was only tactical where he was lacking. If he had the tactical nous of Boston Rob or Kim from a few seasons ago then I honestly think he would have dominated this season.

And ffs show some perspective. I don't have a problem if you want to call him the worst second-place getter of all time but for you to literally think he's the worst contestant of all time is ridiculous. I'd honestly say he would be ahead of about 50+ people at least in terms of chance % of making to the finals.
