10. ALL STAR ROCK DRAW (S10, SURVIVOR: PERU - FRIENDS VS. ENEMIES) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli's_Survivor%3A_Peru_-_Friends_vs._Enemies
Clocking in at no. 10 we have a classic rock draw! This was back in season 10, the second full returnee-season of the series. It had one of the best casts I've ever had for a season, with five pairs of friends making up one tribe, and five pairs of enemies making up the other. You would think the Enemies tribe would be the drama-tribe, but as the second Tribal Council of the season proved, it turned out to be the Friends.
A couple of weeks before the season began I had started casting. Finding Friends-pairs to compete in the season was pretty easy, because there's been a lot of them. One of the more obvious being best friends Janelle ( Janelle_Pierzina) and Ashley ( BigBruv). Both of them agreed to play as friends, but right before the season began they had a falling out. This did not stop me from putting them in the season though, and thank god I didn't...
The game starts and the Friends loses the second Immunity Challenge, sending the pairs to Tribal Council. With five pairs, the last thing you would expect was a tie, since it was expected all pairs would stick together, but Ashley and Janelle did not see eye to eye, leading Janelle to go with the Dono/Matt G. + Colleen/Bingo ( donosaurus_rexGiGi10Mittensbingo21) alliance, and Ashley joining forces with the Felix/Christian + Danielle/Josh (#Fern111HipposUniteSnowgirl57JoshJosh123) alliance.
This led to a tied vote at their first Tribal Council, and when the re-vote also ended in a tie, it was left up to faith who would be eliminated from the game, and unfortunately for Felix (who had showed great promise up to this point) he was taken out.
Now there have been plenty of rock draws in the series, but the reason I liked this one so much was that there was so much at stake. Not only was this an all-returnee season and only the second Tribal Council, you also had some big players facing early elimination. Dono had just come off of Bingo's Rogues vs. Righteous and getting first boot, and was now one vote away from getting 19th instead of winning the season had Janelle not stayed loyal to the alliance. This Tribal Council is also part of the reason Dono and Danielle (who both received 9 votes each during the original vote and re-vote) are at the top of the list for most votes cast against in a season (Danielle with a total of 23 votes, Dono with 20).
9. CHLOE GOES NUCLEAR (S11, SURVIVOR: PATAGONIA) http://tengagedgroups.wikia.com/wiki/Leli%27s_Survivor:_Patagonia
In ninth place we find one of two fights that have made the list for top ten most memorable moments. One of the reasons this fight made the list was because it was so unexpected and late into the game.
After being underdogs for much of the season Shawn ( SuitMan13) and Natalie ( OhNatalie) (both future players in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains) suddenly found themselves in a position of power after most of the season's big powerplayers ( bigbro263Cole91nbkillerJBC8) had exited the game. It looked like it would be smooth sailing to the end for them, but unexpectedly Chloe ( SilentSwordsman) who had been completely anonymous in the game up until that point woke up and decided to make it her mission to expose the power alliance of Shawn and Nat and get them out.
Now someone attacking you in public forums is nothing new and it rarely changes anyone's mind. Only problem was... This happened in the month mails were down! And so Shawn and Natalie had no way of doing damage control with the other remaining castaways, which led to both of them getting voted out sixth and fifth, with Chloe going home in fourth place. Mails being down was a very frustrating situation for everyone, but at least this fight kept some of us entertained in the three weeks we waited for mails to come back.
Alright, that's two more moments down! What do you think of the moments so far? Should something be higher or lower on the list?
And with that, here are two quotes from the next two moments (moments 7 and 8), coming up soon:
8. "Real friends wouldn't blindside a friend at Final 7...only a spineless coward would."
7. "Seriously? Your going to go as far as photo shopping images? I'm literally looking at the same Convo right now and that is not what I said."
We have officially entered the top 10! And the list continues with Moments 10 and 9...
