Here are five more moments from my series. Moments 15-11.
15. THE FLAG FIGHT (S11, SURVIVOR: PATAGONIA) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Patagonia
During the second Immunity Challenge in Patagonia, the two tribes were tasked with creating two flags each. While Rosario sailed through the challenge, the Lacar tribe ran into some trouble. After Ronnie ( JBC8) had submitted the first flag, Natalie ( OhNatalie) had agreed to do the second, but when her flag got turned down by a few members of the tribe, no one else took responsibility for making the second flag... until Ray ( Ilikebugs) decided to get involved. With 30 minutes left of the challenge, Ray went to work on the second flag and just two minutes before deadline, he submitted Lacar's second flag. And... well... I'll let you guys be the judge: http://oi59.tinypic.com/2uqk741.jpg .... The flag scored a total of 6/40 points, sending Lacar to Tribal Council. Ronnie and Julian ( TheSexiestDude990) stated up front that Ray should go home because of his flag, but Ray wasn't about to go down without a fight, and instead threw Natalie under the bus for not submitting her flag, as was the original plan. Natalie, who was not about to get voted out in 15th place, then went on the attack, which led to a 88-post long thread about flags (seriously, try counting how many the word 'flag' is said in that thread). Ultimately Ray went home for his poor performance on his flag, but later returned to compete in Survivor: Uganda - Second Chances.
14. THE DYSFUNCTIONAL BIG HERO 6 ALLIANCE (S20, SURVIVOR: SAINT CROIX - HEROES VS. VILLAINS) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Saint_Croix_-_Heroes_vs._Villains
Aw, things started out so nice when the six all stars JB, Ethan, Natalie, Ashlyn, Iris and Nick ( _JB_ , Ethan000 , OhNatalie , AshlynArehart , EternalBlossom and NJKoda1998) decided to team up in the early days of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. While things worked out great for all six of them pre-merge, things really started to heat up later in the game, when it seemed like the alliance was about to blow up at any second... And so it did, when the Heroes decided to come together to target the biggest jury-threat Ashlyn, which ended in another dramatic Tribal Council (121 posts, this one) with Ashlyn calling people out left and right. But the fun obviously didn't end there... More betrayals was to come the following Tribal Councils with Ethan and JB's eliminations. What is kind of ironic though is that while this group was incredibly dysfunctional, the alliance stuck for a long while, and three of the people within the alliance made final three. It's one of my favorite alliances of the series, simply because it was so "star-studded" and because every single person in that alliance could care less about the others. This alliance was nothing personal. Just business.
13. CLAIR ENTERS THE GAME (S14, SURVIVOR: KIRIBATI) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Kiribati
Of all the characters and personalities seen in the series, Clair ( haycsclair) is probably one of the most unique in that she 100% sees herself as a hero, but has no problem making villanous moves. In Survivor: Kiribati, I introduced a twist that allowed contestants to enter the game at later stages in the game instead of having all contestants enter on day 1. The last contestant to enter the game was Clair on day 17. She was given two Immunity necklaces to give to two other contestants, and Clair treated that decision like it was her life-calling, interrogating everyone who tried to talk to her about giving them the necklaces, calling people out publicly if they said something she didn't consider to be true. This quickly made her target no. 1. EVERYONE wanted her out, especially day 1 players Ollie ( MrPokeguy9) and Paul ( Survivorgame1). It was quite fun watching the players who had been in the game since the beginning, and who had thought they had figured the twist out, just be completely blindsided by Clair's way of doing things and getting extremely frustrated with her. Despite all this, Clair actually ended up getting all the way to third place, outlasting both Ollie and Paul.
12. PORSCHE THROWS HANNAH A FAKE BIRTHDAY (S13, SURVIVOR: UGANDA - SECOND CHANCES) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Uganda_-_Second_Chances
This is one of the funnier things to happen in the series. When we got down to the final five in Second Chances, I posted the Plus and Minus challenge, where your objective is to get as close to 20 as possible WITHOUT going over (http://www.tengaged.com/blog/Leli14/5112887/who-should-win-immunity-and-who-shouldnt ). Porsche ( porschefan101), knowing that her or Hannah (#xoHannaHxo) was next on the chopping block, saw that it was looking like Hannah was about to win Immunity, as she was closest to 20 points, decided to take matters into her own hands, by spamming people and telling them to plus Hannah, because it was her birthday, so that Hannah would get more than 20 points and not win Immunity. And it worked! Hannah ended up getting 25 points, and Porsche ended at 17, giving her Immunity. The two of them received 5th and 4th place that season.
11. DONO: HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL MAGNET (S10, SURVIVOR: SAINT CROIX - FRIENDS VS. ENEMIES) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Peru_-_Friends_vs._Enemies
Just missing out on a spot in the top 10 is one of the more controversial moments, that saw Dono ( donosaurus_rex) finding up to three Idols in the same season. Now two of them he found himself, and one of them his best friend Matt G. ( GiGi10) found and gave to Dono. This resulted in Dono being pretty invincible for much of the game. When he didn't have Immunity, he could always play an Idol. His Idol plays were especially frustrating to the opposing alliance consisting of Sean ( Renegade628), Ryan ( KidA) and future winner of Survivor: Socotra, Shadi ( Chastain), who at several Tribal Councils tried to oust Dono. First pre-merge, where all except two votes went to Dono, but after he played his Idol, Ashley went home instead (see: moment no. 19). Again post-merge they found a golden opportunity to get rid of Dono, but once again Dono played an Idol negating six votes against him and eliminating Sean from the game. There were definitely some talk of me rigging the game for Dono along the way, but honestly Dono was just good at finding those things (plus he had some allies who he always coordinated guesses with). But this has led me to hide Idols on Tengaged blogs from now on so that the first person to find the right blog, finds the Idol, so that I won't be accused of stuff like that again.
Alright, that's five more down! What do you think of the moments? Should something be higher or lower on the list?
Next blog will only be TWO moments. Moments 10 and 9, as they have longer write-ups.
I will give you hints for the next two in quotes said during the event:
10. "Well so much for trying to flip this shit around."
09. "It's unfortunate for you, that you got caught though, because now you can call me the "Snake Hunter." And I'm coming for your head."
Also you're so right about Clair. But once you get used to how she plays, and get on her good side, she is the most loyal ally you will find. Get on her bad side though, you better watch the fuck out XD (learnt that one the hard way). But all that unique personality is what I love about her!
Love the fake birthday. I'm a big fan of "strategy with character" and that is a great example. Strategy with character moments is what makes a season great to watch as a viewer
