Survivor: Nicaragua

Re: Survivor: Nicaragua

In the event of a tie, I believe the winner is the player that received the least number of votes in ALL of the Tribal Councils.

Wasn't that also the way ties were resolved in normal episodes under the First Season format?

I think a live duel would be great.
 
Re: Survivor: Nicaragua

Finally managed to see the last episode.

And I'm constantly stunned by the play some of these people do, as if they have never watched the show/game and understand how to play it. There are some things that you just don't do, if you want to win, but they are repeated over and over again.

IMHO, Fabio was the only one who payed attention enough to previous shows to put his plan into action from start to the point where he just needed to win. Good for him. We were shocked by how many votes Chase got, with his wishy wasy-ness. But I know they miss a lot of the rest of the story. (say when we thought sash might protect Brenda, when the real story was she did scheme to get rid of HIM, but none of that was shown)

Even though they edit out a lot of what really happens- like 99% of the time spent- enough is show to give a good idea what and what not to do.

Then again, I suppose I don't know how I would react given the same situation.

It's amazing that this show continues to go on- it's not like it was, but clearly, there is a core audience that keeps watching. Enough to make this pretty cheap to produce show profitable enough to keep Probst on the show.

I wonder about this too. One possibility is the producers simply pick out the same storylines over and over again from a huge mass of fairly unstructured footage. More than one ex-contestant has said the way they were portrayed had nothing to do with the way they actually played.
