Survivor 33 - Millennials vs. Gen X (1 Viewer)

[Hanson]

Adam pulled a classic Sandra -- nothing he tried to do worked, he misplayed his idols, and he couldn't get anyone in his alliance to listen to him. But he hung around. The reality is, Hannah had no shot, and Ken was a douche. Adam might have gotten a clean sweep because of the tears, but once David went, he was the clear front runner.

BTW, absolute classic moment when Jay found and then played David's fake idol. It didn't accomplish anything, but great TV nonetheless.

One of the top five best seasons even though I think the best player didn't win

True, it was the guy who couldn't get anything done vs two goats.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a final tribal where a member of the final three was deemed so irrelevant by the jury. It was like Ken wasn't even there. I guess no one liked him because he was holier-than-thou and came across as smug about it.

I didn't watch this season, but did they announce the reunion for next season?

Game Changers. Basically an all-star season with some past winners and key players.

But it will never be as good as this season, and you can practically read between the lines about that with Probst's attempts to hype it here.

Okay, Mr. Cynical chiming in here. But somebody had to say it.

An awful situation and very emotional, but I think Adam won because he played the "pity card". He certainly didn't plan it that way, but Survivor is filled with back-stabbers and schemers, so people will do or say anything to win. The other two didn't stand a chance, so they really weren't at their best towards the end.

All right, I'm done. I'll do good deeds all week to atone.

I categorically dismiss the pity card in this case. Adam would have won going away even if he hadn't busted out the waterworks. The jury didn't buy Hannah's story and Ken was an afterthought who rode on David's coattails. Maybe Hannah would have gotten one or possibly two votes if Adam didn't talk about his mother (and even that's doubtful), but Adam had it in the bag even before tribal started. And remember, Jay was the only person who even knew Adam's mother was sick. So it wasn't like he was milking his situation the entire season.

And even if the tears swayed some votes, it would have been a few of them, not all of them. If it was 6-4 you could claim it was a factor, but this was a shutout.

Great season, really entertaining. I was rooting for Hannah, she had her finger on the pulse. But sadly for her, few allies on the jury. Most surprising moment for me was when Ken tried to "test" one of the others, and completely botched his alliance's plans. That they still managed to get to final 3 is amazing!
