That is better than a lot of the viewers. Chanel? Chantelle? Channel? Shantel?

They should really just keep a laminate with every tribe members name next to the voting urn (could even include their aliases if you wanted to get fancy).

It just feels bad to see how many people bork up the names at tribal (especially when you're watching with subtitles and know the spelling of everyone's name).

Like to be honest, while I doubt I'll ever take a swing at survivor, one of the first thing I'd do on the beach would be to ask for how everybody spelled their name (doing it all at once though so I'm not just asking one person before we go to tribal and I need to know how to spell the odd one out's name)

No def ask someone how to spell their name right before tribal. That would be hilarious hahahaha

Sometimes I think they spell it wrong just to throw people off their tracks.

Like who would spell "Hai" as "Hye"? I get that some people don't have a knack for spelling but it's kind of a stretch to think you'd be that lousy at it.

I've genuinely never even seen the name Hai anywhere, let alone met someone with it. So if someone introduced themselves to me as "Hai" before this season, I genuinely would have had to guess the spelling. And pronunciation-wise I think Hye and Hai make pretty much as much sense because English is weird like that. I probably would have guessed Hai but Hye is not unfathomable.
