So, I've ran a short series of homemade survivor seasons for about three years, and have produced seven seasons, with season 8 currently being planned, and a total of 9 more currently in the pipeline. Of course, being British, roughly 70% of people I invite have no clue what the game is, but I've seen some epic plays by clueless people before, however, not everyone can be great, and I've had some true flops in seven seasons. Some are funny, some are sad, some you're really happy about, but either way, they were all dumb moves!
NUMBER 8:
Season 2: Jellyfish beach
So, off the coast of our local beach, there is a small chain of islands. They are all uninhabited, and there are three. Two of them are just rocks that stay above the water when the tide comes in, but the other one is a fully fledged island with trees and stuff. Sadly, we didn't get the permission to use that island, due to the fact that it would be too dangerous, and we could get stuck there for hours. The tide is strong, and fairly dangerous too. The beach got it's name from the amount of jellyfish that wash up there (It isn't really called jellyfish beach, but that's what we like to call it). The islands go in succession:
Smallest island (Closest)
Middle island (Second closest)
Large island (Furthest)
Anyway, this season also had the one world theme, with both tribes living on the same beach for the hours we were allowed
Player: Ashley (15th place)
So, the first person had been voted out, and Ashley had found a clue to the hidden immunity idol. It's true that the idol was hidden on one of the islands, but we didn't specify which. It was actually on the smallest one, as we didn't want anyone risking their lives, walking strait into a dangerous tide. Ashley, reading the clue, thought it was on the biggest island, so off she went. She actually walked for three strait hours to get to the furthest island, and when she got there, she started searching, and the tide came in. She didn't find the idol, but found herself surrounded by ocean. She had badly misjudged the timing. We reported her missing to the life guard, that then sent a speedboat to pick her up. Ashley made it back on the speedboat safely, but preferred not to return to the game. We, as a group, were also booted off that part of the beach, and had to move further down, where it turns into almost a swampy feel (Yes, there is a marshland season- season 4)
The reason it's number 8 is because it wasn't really a move, more of a mistake, but the fact that anyone thought we had the effort to plant an idol nearly 1.5 miles away from camp is still something I don't completely understand
