The Beauties were faced with the opportunity to U-turn either the Lesbians who they’d been having personal issues with all race, or the Cowboys (possibly the strongest team remaining). The Beauties jumped at the chance to handicap the Lesbians, and the Lesbians weren’t able to overcome the U-turn and were eliminated. [...]
The Moment:
As previously discussed in our post on The Mutiny, the ‘Aitu 4′ found themselves down in numbers but not in spirit after two of their Aitutaki members jumped at the chance to join the opposing Rarotonga tribe. They put together two immunity challenge wins in a row, whittling the numbers advantage down to 5 [...]
The Moment(s):
Ozzy, Jason, Alexis and poor dumb Erik. On Micronesia we had a collection of fabulous, shocking tribal councils with players who felt they were completely secure going home on four different occasions. We had fake immunity idols that were played, hidden immunity idols that weren’t played, real immunity idols that were played… and [...]
The Moment:
“Russell, this is a huge turning point in this game. This is not fake. I wouldn’t waste your time or mine. Just by competing against you and the few handshakes we’ve had I feel like I can trust you. That’s hard to find in this game. Hopefully we are on the same page. Play [...]
The Moment:
Johnny Carroll, Zoe Zanidakis, Tammy Leitner and Robert “General” DeCanio the ‘Rotu 4′, thought they had a lock on the game. Together with two ancillary members of their alliance they had everything planned out. First they would eliminate the three members of the other tribe, then they’d get rid of their two hangers on [...]
The Moment(s):
On Survivor Fiji, Yau Man, one of the most fragile seeming contestants on the island proved himself to be a challenge monster. Whether it was archery, spear throwing or using a blow gun Yau Man seemed to have a gift for coming up big in big moments. So on the final truck challenge when [...]
The Moment:
For the first time ever, Jeff Probst gave the castaways the opportunity to Mutiny from Rarotonga to Aitutaki or vice versa. When the offer was give, we never imagined anyone would accept it, however much to our surprise Candice Woodcock stepped forward to switch tribes and given her example Johnathan Penner stepped forward to [...]
The Moment
On Survivor All-Stars the two remaining tribes of ‘Mogo Mogo’ and ‘Chapera’ were brought together and the tribes were shuffled. Unfortunately for Amber Brkich, all of her tribe mates were replaced with members of Mogo Mogo, leaving her as the proverbial ‘Dead Woman Walking’, this state was compounded by the fact that the new [...]
The Moment
On Survivor China we met James, the personable gravedigger who seemed funny, folksy and was a physical specimen the likes we’ve rarely seen on the Survivor stage. James had also had a good share of luck, finding one immunity idol thanks to directions, and being given a second one. With four tribal councils remaining [...]
The Moment:
On the Australian Outback season, the Kucha tribe seemed to be in a dominant position over the Ogakor tribe succeeding at challenges and working together well, while the Ogakor tribe was in something close to disarray. In a shocking moment Michael Skupin was overcome by smoke and fell face first into the fire, becoming [...]
The Moment:
When our first band of castaways came to the end of the first Season of Survivor, we saw Richard Hatch and Kelly Wigglesworth in front of their eliminated tribes mates and face their questions. The questions ranged from ‘Pick a Number’ to the now famous ‘Snakes and Rats‘ speech, it was spell-binding, intriguing and [...]
Survivor: Heroes vs Villains has given us some outstanding moments and memorable tribal councils. It’s given us great plays (and a few bad plays) and seen several great players sent to the sidelines. Off the top of our heads these are some of the great moments of this season:
Parvati plays two immunity idols, costing JT [...]
