Survivor South Africa: Phillipines

 

Another GREAT season!

So many characters and twists to talk a about!

First off, characters...

Martinez: Totally clueless about the game, making friends, everything. He insulted others, already had a speech filled out in his coat pocket when he arrived and ended up quitting the game when he found out he was on the outs anyway. 

A doctor who would've won it all but when home early when he got WAY too cocky too early. 

Werner: A pastor who had the game LOCKED but at the final four, everyone woke up to the fact and voted him out at the last minute. 

Tom: Bull headed, worst social gme of the all. Anyone in an allience with him quickly backed out (except for Werner) People kept him on because they knew they could win against him. He valued his honor among everything and said he'd never betray someone unless they betrayed him. 

He broke that promise in the final 4 when money was on the line and betrayed Werner. 

Then he ended up winning in a landslide. 

The person he was against was a coattail rider, totally oblivious to the game being played until it got to the final 4 and the jury thought she woke up too late in the game to deserve it. 

I agree. 

Twists.

This season didn't dissappoint. With new challenges I've never seen before and twists that came out of nowhere!

NO two hidden idols looked the same, so if someone saw someone else with one they might not even notice it because it looked different than theres. EXCELLENT strategy. Idols could now hide in plain sight with no one the wiser. What's that? A coin? A ball? Beads? Could be nothing....or it could be an idol. 

There was one tribal council where two tribes where brought in at the same time to vote someone off their tribe. I was confused as to why they would do this at first but afterwards it became one of the biggest twists I've ever seen made. 

You were voting them off your TRIBE....not from the game! Therefore, the two member who got voted off, switched tribes AND had the choice to bring someone from their old tribe with them. Either as a shield or ally. BRILLIANT.

The 3rd twist I enjoyed was at the final 2. Not only did the winner of the immunity challenge get to vote someone out but the twist was they also got to vote someone off the COUNCIL!!!

This is HUGE when you think about it because you don't know who's in your corner or not. I loved it. 

Another great season! I'm moving on to the next one!
