I mean, it was all part of Wendell and Dom’s strategy tho. By pretending to maintain majority with Naviti, it would guarantee Naviti players would individually attempt to work with Malolo, then Laurel and Donathan tell Dom and Wendell, who can then successfully eliminate threats within their own alliance without seeming like they are breaking it. It’s really brilliant. Basically Tony’s flipping strategy, without the risk of your own alliance turning on you.
Thank Kellyn for that.. It provided perfect cover for Dom and Wendell to bed with Laurel and Donathan on the low. Ppl blame Laurel for not makin a move but Laurel WAS makin moves low-key by bein WITH Dom and Wendell. It was Kellyn who could have dismantled Dom and Wendell. And the only ppl doin that Naviti Strong bs at the end of the day were Kellyn . and Chelsea and Bradley who follow Kellyn
SUCH A GOOD PRE MERGE. It had so much potential. SUCH A BAD POST MERGE Predictable and boring, gosh. It has gone down as one of the worst seasons of Survivor, since season 30.
The only problem with the season for fans/people watching is the fact that no one wanted to make a move, for me I liked the winner so I liked this season by the end of it. Plus people need to realize not every season can be insanely full of exciting events every single episode lol
Bythonyre Yeah, Survivor seasons need to be able to build up to the exciting moments. If it's nothing but insanity then it makes for a really uncomfortable season to watch.
I hate those type of Survivor fans. They act like big moves are the only thing that can make a season great. Forget everything else. As long as there are big moves, then it's perfect. They probably only watched Cagayan, Game Changers, and Cambodia.
CloudInvasion Exactly. And too many Survivor fans think that big moves are all there is and they don't care for anywhere is. There can be good seasons without big moves every episode. I just watched The Australian Outback last week and despite me becoming a fan of the show since last year, it's ranked 3 out of 24. Right behind Millenials vs Gen X and Heroes vs Villains.
Had pretty high hopes for this season. It started pretty great, but once merge hit things went far downhill. The Finale started off super weak aswell but the tie vote solely made this season not hot garbage
So.... no one wanted to make moves? Laurel and Angela are horrible, did nothing, at least Donathan tried to do something near the end. This season was predictable and sometimes boring but I still like it 6/10
There’s actually quite a few people I’d be happy seeing return on a later season. Stephanie, Bradley, Donathan, Kellyn, Michael, and Dominic were all really fun characters.
I think the problem with ghost island is that all the interesting people went out pre merge.Bradley and Gonzalez were funny and could’ve been good villains and competition for Dom and Wendell,Stephanie J had a great story arc and James and Brendan were a good brains and brawn duo.Also it doesn’t help that Chris was the first person from the merge to be sent home.
Honestly, looking back at this season, it wasn’t even bad until the Jenna vote, and the finale was great... so I’m thinking of Ranking this as high as #20
I thought this season was great. It had the first ever final tribal council tie. I have been waiting for that tie for a long time and it finally came. However I thought that Dom deserved the win just a little bit more than Wendell did, but I respect Wendell’s game and I congratulate him for it.
Dom told Wendell what to do and told him that he’ll talk to donathan for Wendell to talk to laurel. And laurel voted for Wendell really because he talked to her first when it was dom who told him to talk to laurel.
This season had so much potential to be one of the best seasons but never happened. They talked so much about gameplays and blindsides after the merge but no execution. Overall, this season was disappointing .
Best players that this season give us: Wendell (deserve it winner) Laurel (best social game) Michael (a risky player) Donathan (i don't no why yet, but yes haha) Chelsea (no Matter the edit, she allways has smarts choices and Is a physical treath) Libby (good social and strategic player) James (i want see him more) Stephanie (screwed by the swap, but she Is atractive to see on the screen, we need More Steph) All these deserves a Second chance! My opinion
oke00306 i know, i forgot him, he has a Lot of reasons to win this season... Just i think he could Made More big moves with so many idols and advantages, that the other ones no had... But you right, he would be on the list😊
Laurel: “I’m coming after Wendell” never even voted for him until finale, Angela: “So Sebastian has an extra vote and I’m with him and we were gonna go to the finale 3” Sebastian then Donathan then Angela gets voted out
It was a good season. Not my favorite, but I really enjoyed it. After Michael went home it got predictable, but that was only two episodes. The finale was really good in my opinion, and I think people really overreacted to the editing.
Nintendoshi overreacted? When Brendan, Libby, Des, Jenna, CHELSEA, Seabas and Angela got literally the worst edit? I am sorry but that's a lot of castaways to get a purple edit, on top of them, Queen purple Chelsea, who got literally the lowest percentage ratio when it came to edit (tied with Hope from s26) and she made it way deep. I understand that the purple edit is necessary to exist, but more than 2 castaways with purple edit is really a killer to me..
sanvalentine23 underedited doesn’t mean purple or invisible. Every player other than Chelsea got their own arc, even if it wasn’t as important. Jenna and Seb weren’t meant to be big characters, they are like comic relief. Angela’s edit was about as accurate as can be. Chelsea was the only one who really had a piss poor edit, and I think the general editing of the season and it’s story was very good, considering the outcome.
I enjoy all seasons because I love survivor but I have to agree that the editing made the episodes predictable. The editing in the new season david vs goliath actually isn't that predictable and I really enjoy it.
The worst part was everyone being so nice and hugging all the people who told them to fuck off by voting them off lol. "best experience of my life" i think 4 of em said as they got "bye felicia" by everyone else. What a nice bunch of polite, courteous, boring and soon to be forgotten cast members, yawn
Legit I liked Morgan because she was the ONLY Naviti member to not have "Malolophobia", and it sucks she was the third boot. Had she'd not left so early she maybe would've gone rogue and either joined Malolo or tried to end the stupid Naviti vs Malolo crap. That would've made the season awesome, and it would've made Morgan have a really badass story.
I don't think Libby was robbed, but she definitely surprised me with how well she could do. I had written her off when I watched her pre-game stuff, but I actually liked her over the course of her time on the show.
@@dipsi7268 its a new element of the game since season 41 calls Shot in the Dark. If you attend a tribal council, you have the option to give up your vote, to exchange for the chance to pick one of 6 scrolls. One contains Immunity, five contain "No Vote".
Dom will be invited to play again for sure. i hope he’ll win if he’s gonna do it the 2nd time. i started hating him and ended up rooting for him to win. damn it still hurts seeing him lose. 🙁😭
I think Morgan was a very underrated player and would be my choice for a second chance season. Then, obviously, Stephanie and Dom. Morgan was my winner pick judging off of the first and second episode. I can’t remember the legacy advantage switch, did Jacob give Morgan the legacy because of a twist or what?
Second Chance Stephanie voted out 5th Jenna voted out 11th Michale voted out 12th Chelsea voted out 13th Donathan voted out 16th Laurel voted out 18th Domenick voted out 19th
Bring back at least half the pre-merge people, James was my boy to win it .. Stephanie and Brendan were screwed by swaps . Then other people from the merge I wouldn't mind seeing back would be Kellyn and probably Michael but that's it for me .
Ghost island wasn’t an amazing season, but it had a pretty compelling cast. There’s a ton of memorable premerge boots who I’d be excited to see return.
I liked this season just got too predictable and the cast felt like they didnt even want to win so deserving winner great finale and pre merge was amazing aswell the Chris vote was good and so was most of them but towards the end it got eh 8/10
This was the only season of survivor I watched Edit:during Ghost Island when I was in elementary the teachers did a version of survivor in the gym with fake torches and fire
I could only remember the names of about 5 people and that includes the F3. I guess I need to rewatch this season and give it another chance, but it seems I wasn’t very impressed with the cast the first time.
I think there were a lot of interesting people but the problem was the editing. They focused too much on Wendell/Dom that they neglected other players. Chelsea for example got a TERRIBLE edit even though she was playing a really good game.
even tho Chelsea got a bad edit she still caught my attention right off the bat so I think that's pretty good statement of her as a player. that no matter the edit she still shined. I was rooting for her since day 1 and I hope she comes back and they finally do her edit justice.
As much as it was not a great season, I absolutely loved the Dom/Wendell bromance, and their strategy with Laurel and Donathan, as well as the rivalry with Noble. I believe Dom should have won. It’s a shame he lost Bc jury members took offense to him blowing up at Sebastian when that was all gameplay to bluff the idol. Michael was right, Dom deserved the win. He built their alliance with Kellen and Morgan, then later Laurel and Donathan. He was the one running their strategy basically all game. And he did it all with Chris breathing down his neck for basically no reason. Dom is a MUST as a villain in HvV2, along with Michael as a hero. And I love that Dom and Wendell played it old school, developing a strong secret alliance that would run the game, that didn’t get exposed until they held majority the rest of the game. Dom needs to return. HvV2, 2nd Chance 2, FvFs 3, all runners up, it doesn’t matter. Get me more of Domenick Abbate on my screen.
bad season, no one wanted to change the game, and those who tried were eliminated! I hated the winner not because of his game, which was a safe game, but because of the fact that he thought he was so confident and managed to take out everyone who was against him, it really irritated me!
great cast, great winner, ok theme, ok amount of blindsides, horrible editing, horrible amount of advantages and idols (not as much as hvhvh tho)I would rank this season #20 🤷🏻♂️
Domenick kept Wendell until the Final 6 this is what happens. When the tie in the final vote happened I think Domenick's chance of winning was immediately over. I'm glad Wendell won over Domenick because Domenick played a very cutthroat game and this cast was dumb to realize that sooner. Domenick was a lot more dangerous than Chris. Domenick is a sissy for complaining about what happened in the first reward challenge. C'mon the eggs are very meager and they would need the fishing gear to get more food when they run out. I give credit for Donathan though even though he was the only one who voted him the entire game.
While not a bad season as a whole, this was definitely one of the most disappointing seasons of the entire show for me. The concept itself as well as the promising cast definitely gave it so much potential to be a standout in the show. And although the season has quite a few good, great even, things going for it, it completely shoots itself in the foot due to the over-complication of the execution of Ghost Island while not really taking it anywhere in the end in terms of the narrative structure, and easily the worst editing since Caramoan, maybe even since One World. There are so many good qualities tho. The idea of the concept is great, the nostalgic moments of the cursed advantages did hit some soft spots for me, the winner and runner-up were great players, the first ever tie at the finale was really cool to see and certainly helped the finale quite a bit, a few other castaways that DID get enough screen time were also really fun to watch and I would like to see them play again, and some twists here and there like the split tribal at final 10 were nice touches as well. But because of how convoluted Ghost Island is in execution and the wildly uneven editing making a good chunk of the post-merge pretty predictable and shoving so many other potentially interesting players to the wayside, it brings this season down to a very polarizing and middling position when stacked against the rest of Survivor. Which is a shame because Ghost Island did have quite a bit going for it and could've been excellent.
