30 Helens March 24, 2023 Share March 24, 2023 This season has been fascinating to watch. I’m just sorry it’s almost over, and all I will be left with is the vastly inferior US Survivor. Idols and twists vs interpersonal dynamics, no contest. I love Shonee, and wish she could have played longer. She comes off as just a good time party girl, but I think she’s much more intelligent and savvy than people give her credit for. I also mourn the early demise of Jordie. Not fond of the whole “Joker” persona, but I think that was mostly foisted upon him by production. He seems like a good guy. Simon was so much fun. Over the course of the season, in my eyes he went from Cocky Jackass to Sweet, Naive Dumdum to Plucky Underdog. I was really rooting for him at the time he went out. And while I agreed with his final pitch, it was his talk of pawns that did him in. Instead of calling Gerry and Matt pawns (which they are), he should have focused on the fact that George is the one who sees them that way, and is playing them as such. Instead, he phrased it in a way that just insulted them. Not a silver-tongued devil, our Simon. I also really liked Nina. I liked her the first time she played, so I’m glad she got to prove herself outside the shadow of her mother. She did the best she could with people who are apparently playing for second place. I don’t understand why everyone has been so reluctant to target George. He is like a cult leader who has mesmerized his followers to stay loyal. Do they not understand that they can’t win against him? Liz seems to have a clue, but Matty and Gerry seem totally bamboozled. (And what’s with this mentor crap, Gerry? It’s a competition, not a self-improvement workshop.) I feel like I should hate George, but I actually find him completely amusing. I think his talking heads, with all the King talk, are actually tongue in cheek, his way of ramping up the drama for maximum effect. I also think he’s a brilliant strategist, although also lucky, but his main talent seems to be cultivating loyalty. If he gets to the end, he deserves to win. Everyone seems to be banking on a final two. Did they not see the last season before embarking on this one? I assume this season will also have a final 3, and that George will be among them. I wouldn’t even know who to vote for in a Liz/ Gerry/ Matt final 3. Who’s the best follower? That would be a tossup, and a major disappointment. At this point, I’m definitely pulling for George. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7929217

I liked Gerry's storyline at first surviving the vote out of the tribe, playing with what he was given, but Nina was so right calling them out for just riding the chance to finish second and third to George. If George doesn't make it to final 3, not sure i'll be satisfied with any winner, but that's Survivor. Only one who actually played a bit is probably Matt because he knew he was liked by his old Heroes.

TVbitch March 26, 2023 Share March 26, 2023 If the producers were trying to ensure George sticks around, the "extra vote" prize for the last challenge was clever. The prize couldn't be immunity cuz Matt or Liz would win it and George would go. And then they didn't even announce what the extra vote was for until after the challenge, so, being a suspicious sort, I immediately thought... cuz if George happens to win it, it will be an extra vote for who is voted out tonight and it will be a final 2. But if anyone else wins, it will be a vote to vote a jury member out and it will be a final 3. This ensures Geroge more chances to stay.

Asha124 March 26, 2023 Share March 26, 2023 I hate the jury removal twist. I don't get why they used it. Having a final 3 and 8 jurors works just fine. If there is a tie, use the third placer. I'm kinda meh on all the players that are left in the game. Seeing them bash Simon and say he doesn't deserve being on the jury and how fun it would be to remove him made my blood boil. The guy is no longer in the game, leave him alone ffs. Glad Shonee was the one removed in the end. She looked really over it and she was on the jury twice before. But seeing Sam or Flick leave would be preferable. Out of the four, George deserves to win the most but he will be the next on out unless he wins an immunity (unlikely). That leaves us with sour Liz, bland Matt and pawn Gerry... what a dull ending to a great season. I don't think any of them really did anything impressive... They outlasted everybody but what else?

Asha124 March 27, 2023 Share March 27, 2023 (edited) Sigh... called it. That was one of the most boring FTCs I have ever seen. Liz's and Matt's opening statements sounded like they were read from teleprojector (is that the word for it?). IDK why everybody acted like taking out George was only possible because Liz voted for him. All three players had to vote for him to get him out so I really don't understand why they gave Liz credit for it. It's not like she had to convince the other two to vote him out. At that point it was common sense to cut George. And the argument that she was planning revenge since the Shonee vote is such a BS. What would she do if George won the final immunity? Stranger things have happened. IMHO she waited too long and I wouldn't give anybody credit for voting out the biggest jury threat at final 4. I do wonder if Matt and Gerry would honor the final 3 deal if Matt won immunity but even they can't be so clueless, no? Did Nina, Shaun and Flick even get to ask questions? I don't recall, but then it was such a snoozefest I might have dozed off. Overall it was a great season with awful endgame and even worse winner (sorry Liz). I'm curious about the final confessionals count. Last time I checked it was 1. George with over 140, 2. Simon with over 80, 3. Hayley with over 60. The final 3 didn't even have the amount of confessionals Simon had combined (they were all around 20-30). I would question the edittng but watching the last two episodes made me realize that we were lucky to not hear from Liz, Matt and Gerry very often. It's more interesting to watch a paint dry.

So all in all I'm happy she won over the other two who were totally useless. Matt could not find ONE thing he did himself. Liz was blindsided by George three times, lost her best ally, survived after a tribe swap, and she wanted to eliminate Matt and then George for a while. It was not the best game out of 24 people but it was the best one out of these 3 people so congrats Liz, you deserve it girl. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7935027
TVbitch March 28, 2023 Share March 28, 2023 If they are going to edit the season to be all about one player, then that player better at least make it to final tribal. No one else really deserved it. Liz made one move ~to save Flick ...who turned on her the VERY NEXT VOTE, just like George said she would. So her one move was a bad move. I also don't give her credit for ousting George, as Matt was equally on board for that. Liz was still the best of the three, though, in that she won immunity at the right time and is a much better speaker than Matt. I'm guessing that is where her being an Olympian and having to analyze and speak about her performance in invterviews and such came in handy. Gerry learned a lot about the game from his mentor George ...about how to be the perfect goat. I wonder if Liz or Matt told the jury that Gerry actually wanted them to vote him out so George could stay! The only positive thing about the boring finale is that David remains the real king of Survivor AU. He was equally, if not more, crafty and manipulative as George, won immunities when he needed to, and at the end got all the votes and had the jury laughing at his shenanigans. Take a seat, George! And please, let's not see him again unless it is a true all stars season. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7935163

They did an awesome compelling job with what they were given. we ended with 3 finalist who just rode their golden tickets to the end. Again the only one who really faced game adversity is Gerry early on. Liz would have been better doing the idol play to save Flick as a power move than her trademark Pout Face. and Matt is a lifeguard. honesty that's all i know about him. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7936186
30 Helens March 29, 2023 Share March 29, 2023 “What was your best move?” Gerry: I’m old. Matt: Uhhh… As I expected, this was a disappointing finale with three unworthy prospects. I knew George had no chance unless he won final immunity, and that was beyond unlikely. So of the three finalists, I guess the best won. At least, Liz made (by far) the most convincing argument. I feel like Matt had just as good of a case, but he just didn’t make it. I do feel like George played a phenomenal game. To get to F4 with absolutely no physical ability is quite a feat. I think he may go into the hall of fame alongside Cirie, as the best to never win. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7936278
TVbitch March 29, 2023 Share March 29, 2023 I agree the editors probably did the best edit they could, and after looking at what they had, maybe had no choice but to still just go all in on George. I did enjoy the majority of the season. If it had come down to George V Shonee or George V Simon in the finale that would have been much more intriguing, but it is what it is. I do think Shonee dropped the ball. She seemed to be having too much fun with her bestie and took her eye off George. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/60107-australian-survivor-general-discussion/page/15/#findComment-7936344
