The first survivor was very different as the winner developed secret alliances. After that, alliances became a predictable part of the game. But the first show exemplified the real world the nature of teams. First they all went after the incompetents. But then, all the mediocre players formed alliances to get rid of the most talented contestants. So the winner has, ever since, been a collection of devious mediocre talents.

partially true. it really depends on the jury’s taste in “medicority.” ethan zohn and tom westman swept the jury in the finale. tina never had a vote cast against her. not a mediocre feat. some winners are better than others.

Great analysis of Season 49!

If Soph had used her advantage to steal Rizo's immunity, I think she would have had a better resume at Final Tribal Council! In the end, however, I do believe Savannah deserved to win!!! Looking forward to Survivor 50 with Savannah and Rizo among the castaways!

savannah 100% deserved to win. sophi stealing rizo’s immunity would have been a huge move that a savvy player would have done asap. its easy to criticize from the couch. the season 50 cast are all experts. it will be best season yet
