himela December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 I have a hard time deciding whether I will watch season 40. There are many people I dislike / hate from there (Rob, Tyson, Ben to name a few) but the one I can't honestly stomach is Parvati. She represents everyting I hate in the female gender and she is the example of the woman I would fear my daughter (if I had one) would become. I am absolutely disgusted by her. I think I will just read your comments here. And with the Edge of Extinction coming back we know there is no chance we get rid of them sooner or later. They will all be there till the end. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5821355

GenerationX December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 I haven't read any of the posts in this thread. I'm on the fence about watching S40. While I'm interested in seeing past winners battle it out (and I've seen every episode since day 1), I really really hated the Edge of Extinction concept. S38 had the least satisfying conclusion of any season ever, and I can't bear to watch another season with someone who hardly played at all winning out of the losers bracket. The plethora of advantages and idols detracts from the game, but the losers bracket outright destroys it. So, I have an unusual request. I have never looked at spoilers, and I don't want to be spoiled as to the actual winner. What I would appreciate is that if anyone knows if the ultimate winner of S40 comes from the losers bracket or not. Send me a message or quote this post and answer it in this thread (I'll click on the Notification to avoid seeing any spoilers on who the winner is). Thanks in advance!

himela December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 What I also hate is that these people will already have alliances so it won't be random who becomes alligned with whom. I guess people who have played together again or who share a similar story will become a team and players who player earlier in the years will be kind on the outs. Eww I can't even listen to some of these people voices. The only reason I kinda tolerated Rob this season was because he was smiling and trying to be funny. When he gets his arrogant tone, I want to kill him. Same with Tyson. At this moment I dislike Adam as well. The only person I like is Sarah tbh but she is not enough. Nah, listening to podcasts and reading forums will be good enough for me. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5821781

If the one poster on reddit considered a semi-reliable spoiler source is correct about the winner, they will NOT be an EoE returnee. This poster has been "told" about a couple of other possible end-gamers (F3 or F4s) and at least one will be an EoE returnee but will not win. This poster did predict the fire-token thingies awhile back which has now been confirmed in the preview of S40 shown on finale night, so they do have some credibility so far. Hope that helps!!

treeofdreams December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 I am looking forward to this season so much! Yul! I like the idea of EOE in this context because it has the potential to keep my favorites around longer. If someone like Yul is voted out early on, at least I will still be able to see them continuing on in some fashion. And I expect they will show more of the action on EOE than they did last time. I do not have the memory for previous seasons that so many of you do - and I have not watched every season - so for me this will be a combination of familiar players and new-to-me players. I expect reading other people's posts will help me better understand who everyone is and what their past history is. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5822105
tvgoddess December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 I have no experience with EOE so I can't say I hate it or anything else about it. If it has to be used, it sounds like this is a good season for it. A lot of these players are new to me as well so I'm speculating that one of the ones I'm not familiar with will probably win. I hope they don't water down the challenges so to speak (make them easy). I want this to be hardcore and cutthroat. They need to flipping EARN that $2 million!

Nashville December 21, 2019 Share December 21, 2019 I... dunno. After the defecation demonstration which was S38 (EoE), I had planned on skipping S39 (IotI) entirely. I let my old lady talk me into it, though - with a moderately healthy assist from y’all - and look at the result: An overturned Porta-Potti of a season so detestable TPTB were too afraid to air the finale live. A fair-sized chunk of what did make it to air consisted of desperate attempts by Production to whitewash the trashing its corporate image took for mishandling sensitive (and entirely foreseeable) personnel issues. Announcement of a salvage-targeted subsequent season which (a) consists solely of contestants with a vested image in continuing the whitewash of the show’s corporate image, and (b) incorporates Redemption Island - one of my most despised twists in recent years. So no, I don’t know that I’ll be joining y’all on this show’s next shambling stumble into the corporate hog pen. The older I am, the lower my threshold gets for tolerating slogs through pig shit. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5822789

I can understand this, as well. They will definitely want to keep some of the big names around, and I would be sad to lose some of my favorites early. I think the good thing with this cast, though, is that since they are all previous winners, I don't think anyone who has won before would want to see an Edge of Extinction player return and ruin the integrity of the game by winning. I think these players have too much respect for the game to allow that to happen again, but then again, who knows? They might be so pissed at the actual finalists that they have "no choice" in their minds but to vote for whoever comes back. 43 minutes ago, treeofdreams said: What are some of your predictions?

I feel like Parvati and Sandra will also have HUGE targets on their backs, going in. I think some of the quieter, less flashy players might do well at managing their threat level. Kim, Sophie, Michele, Nick, and Wendell, I could see doing well and going under the radar at the start.

What are some of your predictions? Who will they vote out early on, who will go the distance, who has the best chance of winning? One thing I hate about these seasons are the pre-game alliances, and how old schoolers typically get the short end of the stick because they are so far removed from the Survivor community (give or take). It's why I like when they have a decent balance of recent seasons vs old seasons. Yul, Ethan, Danni, Earl, Sandra, Rob, and Amber are the only pre-S20 winners (I know Rob didn't technically win under S22, but I still lump him in as an old schooler). Sandra and Rob are obviously the exception to the rule; both started on old school seasons, but are legendary Survivor players with some recency to their resumes, and are still very much a part of the Survivor universe. I think EOE could also be an interesting twist this season. I've heard that the players have to go to EOE and aren't given the option like they were in S38; I'm assuming they can still raise the flag if they want out. I think Rob, Amber, and Sandra may be in danger early on. Sandra because she's won twice, probably would have done well in S34 had it not been for a tribe swap, and has sort of a unique gaming style. Rob/Amber to split them up (I think they'd go after Rob first). My hope is Adam and Ben are early boots. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5823689

Then again, I know if they couldn't get certain winners on board, they probably wouldn't have done this season to begin with. They paid certain winners just to appear, and there were rumors that Rob waited until the last minute to sign on (many think it's because he wanted Amber, and the show didn't).

LanceM December 31, 2019 Share December 31, 2019 So SurvivorsUnite awoke from hibernation and posted a few things on Sucks today. He hinted he may start dropping the bootlist tomorrow but we shall and wait and see. Anyway here is some of what he posted. "How the Tokens will work - I do not have full details (nor did I care enough to ask much about it) but from I understood is that there will be boards (I picture like bulletin boards) at the camps and players can pick what they would like / want. They then need to obtain money in order to receive said items (I imagine it's the wooden boards shown in the preview on Finale night). The Jury - Everyone except 1 and the finalists. EOE - The Survivors know they have a chance to get back in the game. They know they would not have an option to stay or go at first shot. The one who leaves EOE leaves the minute the next voted off player arrives...does not hesitate. At the end none of the players liked EOE. Placement - Michele Fitzgerald does not win❤and she is not the only one watching you guys hereand elsewhere. But I am sure I've told ya'll that before.. Reminder - Keep in mind as I have previously have said...friendships & anything alliance related went out the window real quick with the 2million announcement. Brace yourselves for many blindsides and betrayals. I hope all of my favs survive" also this.... "Two things.... - No one liked the EOE concept..they had preferred a RI type of thing. They also do not agree with someone being voted out winning.... - I never said the person who leaves EOE does so b/c of who arrives after them....I said they leave the second the following player arrives" "Boston Rob, Sandra and Parv. All 3 knew going in they were in trouble and they knew they probably stood no chance if things did not go their way....the newbies were in for a surprise b/c enough old schoolers / legends had banned together." and finally this regarding Rob and Amber... "Production / Probst wanted both Marianos back....one way or another they were gonna make it happen. She won the 1st All-star season and was on S2 (the shows most popular), she also married Boston Rob an icon of the show. They were not taking no for an answer and this was the only other season they thought made sense to bring them both back for.....the other was the 1st BvW which they were approached for but both declined. They wanted them both so bad that they extended the same offer to Amber as they did to 3 of the shows biggest legends. She was the casted mystery to many (even Redmon was surprised when I told him she was going)....they wanted to keep it quiet b/c they knew letting everyone know would cause too much planning against them....at least on the spot knowledge leaves less room for planning against the twosome." 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5835847
LadyChatts December 31, 2019 Share December 31, 2019 I understand why they would do EOE again for this season (and it makes more sense), but I'm glad the contestants themselves didn't like it. Maybe legends like these complained enough that we will never see it again. I also hope him saying they don't agree with someone being voted off winning the game means that the jury doesn't vote for someone who spent more time on EOE than in the game itself. I hope that the old schoolers do well (well, Yul and Danni). I think it'd be kind of cool to see Amber outlast Rob by a long time and see how she does after all these years. Frankly, I never thought Amber was much of a Survivor player as much as she was a coat tail rider. Maybe she'd surprise me after all these years. I'd be fine to see the backs of Adam and Ben in the first couple of episodes. I really don't want to see this season dominated by the after S30 crowd. Many people believe it's Amber, Yul, or Parvati who raise the flag and leave the game, though the rumors are saying it's a female, and Amber and Parvati just seem like good guesses because of their kids (especially Parvati, who I think had just given birth a few months earlier?) Some think Yul because of his job back home. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5836028
marys1000 January 2, 2020 Share January 2, 2020 (edited) So the pot is 2 million? When I try to think of players I like, they are all old school. I can never even remember new school players unless I hated them. I think that says a lot about the rote nature the game has become as everyone knows the "rules" (stick with the numbers, alliances, jury management etc.). They keep playing with the game to counteract that but not enough to force new ways of playing. The closest I remember was the season with the short term alliances (I can't remember what they called it). Maybe rather than being voted out they should go to and EoE or RI for some other reason. I couldnt stand Michelle so thats going to be hard (her and her tiger petting zoo ways). I don't remember some of the others. Tony was entertaining and memorable at least. In a game where everyone knows the strategy I wonder if Tony's advantage is his hyper sometimes chaotic, different way of thinking. I wonder if Yul does his...whatever that was, percentages....

Some think Yul because of his job back home. SurvivorsUnite posted today on Sucks that neither of the Marianos quit EOE so that takes Amber of the list (assuming it is true). He has also said that nobody flies home early so that would take the hypothetical reasoning for someone like Parvati to quit. Not that I can see her quitting because she is way too competitive a person and she is actually good in challenges.

ProfCrash January 5, 2020 Share January 5, 2020 If I was playing and EoE existed, I Would not hang around if I didn’t have a legit shot at winning to get back in. Additional hardship with little hope of returning vs comfy bed, food and a vacation? Screw EoE. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5844093

Some of these past winners I've been dying to see back, and I'd hate for them to be an early boot and that's it. In addition, I'm sure TPTB probably want to ensure some big names stick around, too. I can't deal with another EOE for any reason. Because of all the big names, I could maybe deal with a Redemption Island type situation, where players voted off got a 2nd chance, but had to earn their continued presence in the game over and over, in duels. But, EOE is a deal breaker for me. It is not Survivor. I doubt I will watch, but I at least hope they won't had freaking idols to the players who were voted out and then made it back into the game. If they must have EOE, an EOE returnee should be at a disadvantage, not be handed a huge advantage. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5847948

ProfCrash January 8, 2020 Share January 8, 2020 I think my lack of Tyson love is more a personality thing then game play. Tyson is not a bad player, he is swarmy but he knows the game pretty well. He can get into his own head too much and that can cause issues for his game play. He thinks far too much of himself and not in the overly exaggerated that makes you roll your eyes. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93126-season-40-speculation-and-spoilers/page/5/#findComment-5850897

Tyson is one who cannot. I also don't think he is a terrible player but I am not sure I would rank him anything but average. Yes he won but at the end of the day he lost horribly in HvV and I honestly cannot recall why he got voted out during his first season.
