HUFUS:
Could u guys please compare each one of us jurors to a CBS Survivor Player and yourself as well?
I’ll do my best. Disclaimer: Like I’ve only actually WATCHED S12, then S35 onwards. A lot of seasons I have KNOWLEDGE on though, I’ll try explain everything, but yeah my option pool isn’t the largest, and some may be inaccurate just as they are perceptions, but I’ll try!
JAMES S.: Nick Stanbury from Panama. Coming into the merge, neither ended up on the right side of the numbers. Both had POTENTIAL, but something happened to deflate their game. For Nick that was as he was perceived as a physical threat, whereas for James it was the fact that the vote leaked and then flipping the vote to a target like him made sense. Nick seems the best fit in THAT regard, I’ve not masses of merge-boot choices so sorry if that seems inaccurate.
SKYLER: Jessica Johnston from HVHVH. Both were overall in a fine position pre-merge, but then come merge they both landed in the minority, and both placed 12th ultimately in a 7-5 vote.
DANIEL: Malcolm Freberg in Caramoan. Coming into merge, both Daniel and Malcolm were two of the bigger players, and had targets on their back. In addition, they were both positioned in the minority which put them at a further disadvantage, and both kinda needed to be attempted to be taken out twice for it to actually happen.
JJ: Julia Sokolowski from Kaôh Rōng. Julia flipped on her alliance in KR and then later got exposed for it, causing her to leave the following round. I felt that this related similarly for JJ who got caught not necessarily trying to FLIP on the Plan-Z alliance, but leaking what the plans were to the other side, who then informed people to the point that JJ became the one flipped on, like Julia was.
ERIC: I’d say Lauren O’Connell from Edge of Extinction. Both Eric and Lauren were strong social players that helped them survive, despite both being in the minority throughout the season, with the rare stint in the majority. They both also attended the most tribals throughout their time in the game, so it makes sense to relate them!
JAN: I will say Cirie Fields in Game Changers. For starters, two legends; for seconds, two strong social players; for thirds, both were taken out on a night with numerous advantages and things played, and a messy tribal on both ends. If Cirie doesn’t get taken out here, she has good odds of winning [I think, I didn’t actually watch GC LMAO], and if Jan doesn’t get taken out here, he has good odds of being able to make the end and win.
JIMMY: Devon Pinto from HVHVH works. Devon played one of the strongest games of the season, especially social and strategic, and got taken out due to a twist. Jimmy played one of the strongest games of this season, especially social and strategic, and got taken out due to an idol play, so that element of it not being because they had majority of votes is similar. Both are deserved winners if they make the end.
KELLEN: Rupert Boneham in Heroes vs Villains. Both Kellen and Rupert fell into the minority come merge, yet were both two of the last standing of their respective minorities. Both have the fan-favourite vibe to them, and are both strong social players, contributing to them lasting as long as they both did.
HUFUS: Possibly Christian Hubicki from David vs Goliath. Christian had a good social game overall that kept him well positioned throughout, as did Hufus. They also share the fact they both played an idol correctly, granted Christian’s was to save himself whereas Hufus’ was to save an ally, but same gist, and were also good at challenges.
CHANDLER: First to come into my mind was Sarah Lacina from Winners at War. Sarah came into the season as a winner, I mean obviously, but yeah Chandler did this season, was apart of the duo which lasted the longest in the game [him and Hufus], and like Sarah stood a good chance at winning had he made the end.
MYSELF: Possibly Tom Westman I guess? I mean part of that is hoping that I can come away with the win, but yeah like Tom was the strongest at immunities in Palau, winning the majority of the merge immunities. In addition, Tom was constantly positioned well in the game. YES unlike Tom I didn’t always vote in the majority, but my position in the game was always a decent one, and I earned my way here, as did he.
TRAVIS: Julie Rosenberg from Edge of Extinction. Overall, Julie’s EOE game, as with Travis’, was more of a just go-with-the-flow kind of game, and typically there was someone else composing the moves, and they were just numbers in the plan. I also feel that Julie’s breakout I’M READY TO JUMP SHIP that realistically didn’t make the most of sense relates to Travis’ at Final 4 trying to flip to save Chandler.
TYLER: Woo Hwang in Cagayan. As I’ve stated, I felt that out of the Kellen-Tyler duo, Kellen was the one calling more of the shots and playing the game stronger than Tyler, similar to the way the duo of Woo and Tony, Tony played the game stronger all round. Woo and Tyler both played credible games for sure, but their duo played considerably stronger.
And no I didn’t just give my opponents Runners-Up and myself a winner because that’s what I hope the outcome to be, the reasonings behind it fit!
I HOPE they are ok, I spent sooo long on that and was going off of sorta limited knowledge, so yeah :S.
