Survivor Reddit: Nick was a bad winner because he would've been out first if Pat wasn't medically evacuated.
Uh, Parvati would have been a first boot if Fairplay hadn't basically quit.
Survivor Reddit: BUT QUEEN PARVATI, ALL FEMALE WINNERS ARE THE BEST WINNERS! #Survivor
lemjam6 I like Parvati but it is HILARIOUS that her game in Micronesia can be discounted the same exact way people currently discount Nick's game in David vs. Goliath.
Noobsmoke13 to be completely fair.......they still voted?
If ppl wanted Parv out that bad she would've gone home :X
That + the only twists Micronesia had for her to fall back on (and didnt) were the Exile idols, idr how many idols Nick found because I missed like 5 episodes but even if this is a shaky point it doesn't deter from the fact that we've seen Nick win Survivor before, and that's boring.
It isn't like Nick was some grandmaster at anything anyways, the jury just hated Angelina and knew Mike was rich, namedropping his dead mommy was just the cherry on top.
mastropola they wouldn't have vote if it were a more official quit. Everyone decided to go with that easy vote in Micronesia. Both Nick and Parvati were able to make sure they were no longer on the chopping block at future votes. Nick had to worry lot more about postmerge votes as he didn't have a postmerge majority and Parvati did. Their games aren't completely comparable but luck is part of Survivor and both of them having good luck at the first vote doesn't make either a bad winner. Nick has said in post-game interviews that he would have most likely gone out first but post-game interviews I have heard from other David tribe members seemed more up in the air as to how the vote actually would have went. Nick did not rely on personal advantages much except for the "David's advantage round table."
survivornerd for real, a huge part of Survivor is luck and legit if one early vote happens differently or if a medievac or quit doesn't happen, the game could look entirely different.
lolwut noobsmoke13 calling it an "easy vote" doesn't mean it holds no water
One of those 2 went to the first tribal and survived, one didn't.
But I'm moderately unconvinced that Eliza wouldn't have gone home that TC based on the treatment she got throughout the rest of the season anyways (and was also a target)?
The only parallel I could see painted between these 2 is that they stopped being targeted so heavily after round 1, but saying "well if this person didn't do this and xyz and alpha happened...this person had a similar experience"
