Survivor Philippines**Sept 19**No Spoilers

[Wall-E1]

But perhaps her strategy was to go with the flow until she needed to make a big move.
Absolutely not. She had no strategy at all.

So even though her move resulted in you being voted off, you maintain she had no strategy?
She had no game. No clue at all.

If she's not playing the game, who is?
That's the thing: these people weren't playing the game. They weren't playing well at all. I got out there and was playing hard, but I think I was the only one sometimes.

It's funny that he is so critical of other tribe mates when his main strategy throughout the game has been trying to send Penner home before him. First off, that's not a strategy. And second, his "strategy" completely failed because he couldn't see the bigger picture beyond Penner. Other players who were actually planning ahead, and not fixated on one player, ended up outsmarting and outplaying him. Enjoy your sour grapes, Jeff!!!

I have to agree with assessment that Jeff Kent was to hyperfocus on getting rid of Penner instead of working with the stronger numbers he could have had.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

^^^Yup, whatever "game" Jeff was playing, he focused WAY too hard on that. People who play the game well use their allies as long as they're useful, and then find a way to get rid of them when the opportunity presents itself. When you try to force the issue, you wind up as the bitter person on the jury

Hmmm.... RC sounded a LOT more bitter in her interview than Jeff! Holy cow!

And on record, I am rooting for a Final 2 this season - Denise & Malcolm!

That'd be a good final 2 and a tough choice as well!

That would be a good one but I think unlikely since they're both well liked. As long as it's not Pete or Abi I'll be fine with who wins but I'm kind of rooting for Penner.

 

[The Mayor]

So if the voting lines remain the same next week...do they split the vote between Pete and Abi to get the idol out of play? What about Malcoms idol?

Depends on what happens with Lisa.

Not sure if this has been talked about here.........

I wish her well

In Jeff's quasi-defense, he devoted his life to playing baseball, which has a defined set of rules. You either follow them, or you don't. I think his issue with Survivor and the other contestants is, they didn't have the same style of game play as he did. He charged in with a plan, determined to win. Sometimes this works, but it didn't for him for a number of reasons. We've seen players with a variety of strategies make it to the end--as viewers, we may prefer to see certain strategies work, but sometimes you get the coat-tail people there, sometimes the "never won a challenge" people, sometimes the "give it 1000%" people.

In Jeff's case, he lost his focus on the end game, and focused too much on getting rid of Penner specifically.

P.S. When Malcolm said he taught in Micronesia for a year, my DD17 declared him "perfect!" She wants to teach abroad, and wouldn't mind some eye-candy when she does it...

Baseball has a well defined set of rules, but there are many ways to play the game. I think Jeff just sounds bitter.

Malcolm is good eye candy. He also appears to have his wits about him.

 

[dakcp2001]

I'd love for Malcolm or Denise to win they both work really hard and do well at the challenges. I want Abi gone, I can't stand her. She is a miserable person all she does is insult people and scowl. Why would Lisa vote with her? She treats Lisa like dirt on the bottom of her shoe. After the way she treated Lisa, Lisa should have flipped. I also want Pete gone. I like Penner, it is hard not to route for him. But I like Malcolm and Denise more.

Oh, I definitely think Jeff is bitter and needs to get over himself. I just think that he lived and breathed baseball for decades, so it's tough for him to get past the idea that there's more than one way to play Survivor.

I doubt Malcolm and Denise would both make it to the finals, although they're doing great right now. Sadly, I think Abi has a better chance of making it there, because she won't get any votes. Let's face it, wouldn't we all rather face the jury standing next to her instead of Denise?

I ♥ Survivor!!! Been watching it since the very first show, the very first season!!

I agree about previous posts that Jeff was so fixated on getting rid of Penner he forgot to watch the big picture. I am not sad he was voted off!!

Not to mention what was it with the get rid of the previous players. They all got medically removed from the game before merges, before the end of the show, it's not like they were previous winners of the game.....

I also don't care who wins as long as it is not Abi! I can't stand her and hope every week that she will be voted off. She seems like such a miserable person and she was like that from the day she arrived on the island, it's not like she is miserable now that she is starving, cold and tired. And what is it with her sitting out EVERY challenge. I was happy that on the last one she sat out but also had no chance at going on the reward.

I do love Malcolm and Denise and would love to see them in the final 2 especially after all the hardship they had from the beginning of the season, I was so pulling for them to finally win something and I was so happy when they were absorbed into the other tribes. I also really like Penner, was SO Happy when he won individual immunity 2 shows ago and messed up everyone's plans to send him home.

Looking forward to next week and seeing Abi finally go home (fingers crossed).

Speaking of, is anyone else annoyed with the editors that they didn't show the drafting of the tribes for the reward challenge? Obviously I don't need to see it in other episodes when tribes are randomly drawn, but I really wanted to see how the pick went for this! Even just a little montage of them getting ready to compete by picking like they would do back in season one?

Yes!! that totally sucked

 

[OhMari]

Why is Lisa getting so much air time again. They are really making it about her.

 

[Nohal]

Anyone watch the Ponderosa for Artis. It didn't look like he got a good welcome from RC. I think she is a little bitter against her tribe. I find on reality shows that the people who get the most air time are usually the ones that go to the end.

She should be bitter for the way she was treated. I found her tribe to be incredibly disrespectful and condescending.

I agree!

 

[Ride Junkie]

Great tribal council last night! I loved watching Abi get lambasted, and watching Jeff Probst throw gasoline on the fire just added to the fun.

I don't think Skupin has a chance of winning, now that ll his former tribemates on the jury know he jumped ship. I'm guessing it will be Malcolm, Denise, or possibly Penner for the win.
