I was rewatching Abi’s final 7 blindside and I realised this really was the big turning point where Jeremy, Tasha, Spencer and Kimmi (until she failed to flip in an attempt to get a solid 3) were solidified as an actual alliance.

But if Spencer had voted out Tasha instead (I don’t remember why they targeted her over Jeremy, but from what I remember by the time of the final 8 there were like 4 different targets)

If Tasha had went home, and now with Jeremy and Kimmi on the bottom how does the rest of the game play out? Jeremy and Wentworth both have idols, and Kimmi still doesn’t want to go to the end with Jeremy, so how messy would the end game have been and would Wentworth have become the next biggest threat to win now that she has the majority over Jeremy?

The literal ONLY reason Ally and Benji’s split idol existed was to give Ally a reason to blindside Benji, and Odd Nations didn’t even try to pretend like this wasn’t the case.

Ren’s idol being wasted was fine and even a nice *one off* where an idol could be wasted to switch things up yet it still impacted the plot as it created his dynamic with Oliwia when he played it on her. Ally’s idol had zero impact other than to give her a reason to blindside Benji, it didn’t impact her solo story at all! We’re now 3/3 on wasted advantages/idols this season which is pretty ridiculous imo

I’ve been rewatching the last few episodes and currently Ally is the only contestant left with an idol/advantage, so how do you think it’ll be used, I would assume she’ll play it early in the merge and for my survivor fans, I really hope it’s a big spectacular scene similar to “Wentworth does not count” lol!

Idk if I was the only one who noticed, hopefully not otherwise this might seem like a random three, but I feel like these 3 kinda had an unofficial alliance or at least looked out for each other in episode 20 after Marissa went home, until Logan had to throw Zaid under the bus to save himself

I understand why Logan did what he did but man they honestly could’ve been such a cool trio, even final 3!

There’s a lot of (pretty reasonable) complaints about Marissa not doing anything other than build plot for Anastasia when she returned. I personally think that’s a bit of a stretch as she did have her plot of realising that she didn’t want to join the military but that’s not the point.

I wanted to ask what plots or arcs you could give to Marissa while keeping the episode and way she is eliminated in the same. What other characters would you have her interact with and in what ways would it impact the story?

Pretty simple question, Who from Seaosn 5 do you feel has played best so far and is in the position best for winning it all?

You can mostly use interpretation for this, but I guess in this scenario the final 2 challenge is broken into 2 parts, the final 3 participate in the maze and haunted house and the final 2 participate in the water slide and van race to the finish line :)

I’ve always been intrigued by Matt and Andrea since I first watched redemption island, now Imagine a world where Matt accepts an invite to Caramoan and later appears again (ig on game changers which wouldn’t even put him in top five craziest picks) He and Andrea could’ve had a 3 season arc akin to Colby and Jerri. What would this arc hold, not sure exactly but I sure wish I could’ve seen in

If Logan didn’t throw the final 6 immunity challenge to take out Amelie for blackmailing him, what would’ve happened instead? I doubt Logan would’ve gunned that hard for Hannah to ensure Amelie doesn’t have any back up, and even if he did the Anastasia and Isabel rivalry likely takes front focus and one of the 2 are eliminated

If Riya had simply just voted with James and Aiden to vote out Rosa and used the excuse that it’s a game and she had to do what was best for herself, would Rosa have still been mad and dropped Riya? Or would Rosa understand and still supported her?

I think it probably would’ve been a mix of both, she would’ve been hurt and taken time to heal and trust Riya again, but she wouldn’t have completely disconnected with Riya and would still root for her if she’d won

It’s never been stated in canon, but Jared has posted a tweet stating that winners weren’t considered for Fans VS Favourites and in actual survivor fans vs favourites seasons don feature winners, so it’s pretty safe to say if Ally had won all stars, she wouldn’t have returned for fans vs favourites.

But who would’ve replaced her if she had won? You can look at this question from both the in and out of universe perspective as Ally was very close to winning all stars in universe, and she was also considered by the creators to win.

Considering they’d never met before season 5, is it possible for Anastasia to actively hate Alec without knowing him? He claims she hates him in this scene and she doesn’t deny it, and while she has good reason to disrespect him as she was brought up a similar way to how he brought up his son, does she actually hate him?
