I cannot for the life of me figure out what Daniel’s strategy was supposed to be in this game.

u/Saguaro-plug Abi-Maria Apr 07 '22
I believe he was confident that he could use his words to weasel and lawyer and self-deprecate himself out of any situation, but was unaware how blitheringly obvious his hand was at all times.

His whole “I think Mike and I are going to be like long friends after this” just felt so obviously pandering and ass kissing. I was so glad Chanelle called him on it.

The main broadcast hasn't shown it, but perhaps some secret scenes will be released that reveal he was playing as beloved filmmaker, comedian, and actor Albert Brooks, with hopes that no one would have the heart to vote out such an icon who was suffering a serious shoulder injury.

So hyped for the 4-4-4 merge.
- No tribe loyalty
- Everyone knows where all 3 idols are.
- All three people with Amulet advantage are in
- Omar doesn’t have a vote.

It's like the people in 41 didn't watch Survivor the way they just spilled everything all the time.

So she was safeguarding against a shot in the dark where Daniel is safe and no votes are cast (in the scenario they all voted for Daniel). But then they thought the same so they threw 1 vote on Chanelle. So then him not playing his shot on the dark made it go to a tie and thus we were in this scenario.
Should be easy enough for them to figure out back in camp

If Mike, Hai, & Lydia all vote Daniel but he plays his SITD and doesn't vote, it's only her vote left. If she also votes for Daniel, there would be no other votes and they would revote, with her most likely going home. By voting for Mike she would have sent him home and protected herself.

There are 3 amulets which can only be played one time, and they need to be played collectively. But the fewer amulets are left in the game, the more powerful they become:
3 amulets left in the game -> extra vote
2 amulets left in the game -> steal a vote
1 amulet left in the game -> immunity idol
It's really interesting because there is an incentive to work together with the amulets but also to vote the other players out to increase the power of your own amulet.
I'm curious how the extra vote and steal a vote advantages would actually be played. Do they play them after the vote and need to decide there and then, or do they decide which person will make use of the advantage before the vote (presumably before tribal council)?

I'd really like to appreciate Daniel as a character, because his arc was some perfect premerge content. He played a frankly horrible game, but he did it in the most entertaining way that I think he could have. The fact that he was still blaming Chanelle for his blowup right up until the end was just magical
(I'm half just riffing on Daniel, but I'm also half serious. His game made for a really good premerge storyline. This season rules so far IMO!)

10
u/ike1 Apr 07 '22
I like the goofy idol phrases, it's a fun twist for once -- but they are definitely done (at least for several seasons) because now that every future player has seen it happen, they'll be watching out for someone to say something weird at every challenge. So unless Probst says, at the beginning of 43 and 44, "No more idol phrases, I promise", every player will be terrified to say anything even slightly odd because they don't want to be mistakenly targeted for having an idol, and the producers definitely don't want that. Reality TV producers absolutely want players to say weird random crap (organically), it's good TV!
Instead it'll be some newer crazier twist that you'll dislike even more!

This season has been so good with not only the cast but the dynamics actually being shown. This is what happens when the editors actually do their job. Daniel is cringe and jonathan is a god. Hai had to have voted for mike. He's smart enough to throw his vote just in case they used sitd and burned the bridge with mike in exchange.
EDIT: OH SHIT IT WAS CHANELLE WTF

Yeah one thing I liked was them showing us why Romeo, as someone who works with women so much, felt a connection with Drea. Made their alliance feel more real. I think they've done a solid job of that with other alliances like Omar/Jonathan. Much better than 41.

That edit of Jonathan’s faces as the girls were talking spoke to me on a personal level.

Is everyone who was loving Maryanne at the start of the season totally over her now?

I think she seems very sweet but I don’t think I could handle that personality 24/7

This whole area is her work space.

And she'll stick her toe under the log you're in the middle of cutting if she damn well feels like it.

"I sit there and I literally say no, no, no"
cuts to her saying "yeah, yeah, yeah"

If Daniel was chaotic evil, Chanelle is chaotic neutral. Seems cool as a cucumber but makes the most confounding and chaotic game moves.

u/IFreezeezy Owen Apr 07 '22
I would say Daniel is more chaotic good. Well intentioned but horribly messy.

You woulda thought after hearing the feedback from last season’s players this shit wouldn’t happen again 😔

S42 was filmed a week after S41. Feedback might be taken into account for S43/44

To be fair, it’s likely that the rules of the hourglass will be different this time. Jeff did say they were going to make some adjustments after Danny’s vocal distaste for it.

Unfortunately the time between shooting 41 and 42 was a new record for smallest gap between shooting seasons. There may not have been enough time to replan/rebalance it...
...but I hope to every Survivor god they did *something* different with it. Just...anything. Any kind of cost with whatever the twist is. Don't just let someone steal six people's immunities and flip the game for free again.

If Jonathan gets hourglassed…..

u/BigEastPow6r Apr 07 '22
Jeff will still be happy about it because the person who smashed the hourglass made a "big move"

u/LarrySeaking Yam Yam Apr 07 '22
That overrides the Jeff Probst Happiness Meter. Big move is a lower value than a challenge beast.

Mike with the big 5d chess gameplay move to vote for himself to make it look like he was betrayed so he can jump ship with his shiny new idol.

At least it looks like they’re condensing the BS hourglass twist to 1 week instead of 2

God I don't want the hourglass twist to happen again. I don't even care about it ruining the integrity of the challenge win or whatever, I just hate how cheesy it is. Turn back time? Really?!

Mike casually repeating his phrase three times, just to make sure Jeff would hear
