Survivor: Redemption Island

[Matt]

I think that most of them are just overly optimistic about redemption island..
They seem to think it will be ok if they wind up there but not when you start out day five. Also whoever does survive isn't going to have a strong enough alliance to carry them through the end.

That depends. Remember Pearl Islands? Lil and Burton went deep into the game because they became swing votes than an underdog alliance needed.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I dont think Philip is a *****e. *****es' are intentinoal with the way they go about hurting people. I dont think Phillip is calculating at all. He is just weird and delusional in his own little world

Touche. Which coincidentally rhymes with *****e.

Someone complete this sentence.

Phillip is the craziest 'Survivor' contestant since....

 

[SuperT]

People from Redemption Island definitely aren't DOA once they re-enter the game. As Matt said, most people thought Lil and Burton would be booted ASAP when they returned in Pearl Islands, but they were used wisely by the other players as swing votes.

A person re-entering the game, could definitely be the best position of the game depending on the dynamics whenever they re-enter.

Oh and they definitely did not to a full psych evaluation on Philip before filming this season. He's definitely has a few screws loose!

That's true. I think whoever makes it back won't be gone right away. It will be hard for them to last until the end though.

Just saw this, (damn work) and LOL hoooraay Phillip is still there. I'm actually rooting for him to get far, he's friggen entertaining.

And Matt getting voted off because Rob is ******** they lost again? Seriously?

 

[Sawyer]

I'm not seeing any entertainment value from Philip.

He's just damn annoying.

 

[bullets]

And Matt getting voted off because Rob is ******** they lost again? Seriously?

Supposedly Andrea is gonna give him hell for it next week. I think Rob was just looking for that window and got it.

 

[Marx]

At this point, Ometepe are sheep. That may change with the fallout from Matthew's ouster...

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, those people are so on Boston Rob's leash it's ridiculous. At least on the other tribe there are people that are weary of Russell. Ometepe doesn't seem the least bit concerned about Rob.

 

[SuperT]

And Matt getting voted off because Rob is ******** they lost again? Seriously?

I don't think Rob being upset that they lost was the reason why he wanted to vote out Matt.

Rob correctly pointed out that Matt would be a social threat just for the simple fact that he walked over and congratulated the other tribe for winning. It may seem small, but little things like that can come back to help you out later on in the game.

Better to get the nice guy out now, then let him stay longer, and build relationships to the point where it's impossible for anyone to want to vote him out.

Like JT from Tocantins, people let him stay in the game so long they began to like him so much they didn't want to vote him out when Stephen or others tried.

 

[Marx]

Matthew was one of the physically stronger people on the team. Getting rid of him at this point made no sense whatsoever.

 

[Alex The Great]

I agree. I guess he wanted to just get rid of that showmance, but eh, whatever.

Also, hahahaha. That girl was so shocked when Matt left.

 

[AndThePickles]

This season is SO much better so far than I anticipated Philip is such a weirdo...I'm dying to know if he really did work for the government.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

Rob really over played things with Matt, it made no sense to get rid of him at this point. He could just as easily played this move when they reached the final six since presumably the other three with him wouldn't want a couple hanging around. After Rob and Amber managed to win together players have started to target tight players so there is no real threat from them anymore.

Then there is the fact that after all of Rob's talk about the six staying strong he immediately betrays two of them? How can the other people not be alarmed by this and realize that Rob could turn on them at any moment? In their shoes this would prompt me to get rid of Rob asap.

Philip is crazy and Rob was crazy for not getting rid of him, I know I wouldn't want to share a shelter with a guy I thought was mentally unstable.

It was a good move, but he made it way too early, IMO. You can't start weakening your own alliance when there's still so many others left in the game. Andrea will turn on him now, Kristina is still around, and Phillip is a loose cannon. What if none of these people still want to work with him after the merge? He's screwed.

Phillip is so easy to wind up, I love it! Ralph states his confidence at reclaiming immunity and he responds by loudly declaring "I will outlast any man on their tribe!" Haha, insecure or what?

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Phillip really needs to go.He's annoying.

 

[steintym]

Finally got around to watching the last episode. Glad to see Phillip is still acting like a nut. He is absolutely crazy ... and I love watching him. His explanation on gorillas and lions was priceless.

I still can't believe everyone is just letting Rob run the show. Way too many in the tribe are starstruck and intimidated.

 

[Matt]

I'm mixed. On one hand I am glad Russell is gone and wish Ometepe would do the same to Rob, but this whole thing feels....tampered with. The way the producers almost stacked the teams so one would be filled with sheep and one would be filled with crafty players, it all feels like created conflict and I don't dig it.

 

[Havok83]

STUPID Stephanie. Why was she so vocal and acting as Russell's mouthpiece, as he sat their quiet, letting her fight his battle? She survived this round, but I wouldnt be surrpised if this comes back to bite her in the rear

 

[Harry_Lime02]

I thought he'd pulled it off, as well!

Throwing challenges is a bad idea, and if Zapatera go on a losing streak now and get slaughtered, it's their own fault.

Having said that, I think Rob is going to go next. Pretty sure Probst mentioned something about episode 5 being a good one. Is that because it's the Rob vs Russell duel, aka the whole point of this season?

 

[Marx]

All I have to say about tribal is...

 

[SuperT]

Oh boy, I loved every second of that.

 

[Iron_Stark]

On another season I may have loled, but Russell is right they are a bunch of b***es.

 

[Matt]

Agreed. I can't help but roll my eyes at the self righteous attitudes. They're all there to play a game. Say what you want about Russell, despite his size, he is a hell of a challenge competitor. This early in the game, to weaken your tribe...its as dumb as Rob voting Matt out. It was as dumb as Marty voting out all of the men from his tribe last season for the sake of his massive ego.
