    Adam was the worst thought he was so annoying and don't think he deserved to win at all

    Really love the strategic guilt trip bombshell he used to secure his win too

    At the final Tribal Council, the conversation you had with Jay about your mother came up and he made it sound like you didn't want to tell the others her situation. Why did you decide to talk about your mother's health in the end?

    Adam:
    My plan going into that final Tribal Council was to not bring it up, because I knew that I had a very, very good shot of winning the game. I was very confident that I was going to win the game. And I shouldn't have been thinking about this, but I was already thinking a little bit about what the terrible trolls on the internet would say. They're like, "Oh, he only won because he got the sympathy vote" and all that stuff. And that's hurtful. I strongly believe that I played the best game out there and that I would have gotten the votes regardless of whether or not I shared that part of my life.

    But in that moment, Jay had sort of already opened me up emotionally, and then Dave came up and asked about what this journey meant for us. And there was no other answer. This wasn't about my personal growth or transformation. I felt like I was the same person on Day 1 that I was on Day 39. The only answer to that was, this story was about my family. And I love the people on the jury. They are truly friends of mine. I wanted them to share in this... it's a story to the audience, but for me, it's my real life. These are actual things that I'm going through. And some people are like, "Oh, why is he always talking about it when he finds the idols? Why is he always talking about it?" Because that's what matters the most to me. of course I'm talking about it. And of course it made the air, because that's my reality. That's my true story.

    Well don't I feel bad now haha

    Still wasn't a fan of him but I redact the guilt trip thing

    Haha understandable. For me I was uncertain about him for the first part of the game, and then he turned on Gen X and everyone thought it was nuts, but I saw him turn into a swing vote for the NEXT vote, essentially taking the target off of him automatically. Somewhere around then on, I really appreciated the game moves he made

    Yeah I guess I just don't understand. I know there's a lot we didn't see, but I feel like especially when Chris was like "Adam turned ken against David and he should win" didn't Hannah talk ken into flipping? Could be misremembering but it seemed like Adam got a lot of credit for things Hannah did

    You are totally right in that case and Hannah was fucking dumb for not saying it at final tribal!! Ken said it wasn't Adam, but that's not enough to convince them, she needed to say something and she didn't. Add to the list of bad moves.

    Out of the three Adam played 2016 survivor. He was hated and loved and flipped and flopped more than tarek and Christina. He played hard. Ken was at the bottom early on but once he left it and somehow got Will to flip he coasted. Hannah did well but I'd argue she played too well. She made a lot of the moves but did so with too much stealth and cunning. With that said, Adams mom died. I don't give a shit if people think he only won because of the sympathy vote. A million dollars is nowhere near enough to fill the void of losing a parent at that age. Not saying he needs the money, but damn, if I had the ability to somewhat ease someone's sorrow by simply writing there name on a piece of paper I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    But I like to be the villain so I'll add during the reunion when he told the story I heard crying but I didn't see any tears...

    Once David got voted out I didn't really care what happened tbh

    Isn't making the moves with a lot of stealth and cunning 2016 survivor though? Especially since she was never particularly targeted?

    It's not that I particularly minded that Adam won I just don't think he deserved it unanimously by any means haha

    I could definitely get behind Hannah playing just as good, if not better, of a game as Adam.

    this. I think she played it so well that people didn't even see that she made the moves that she did. While Adam, David, Zeke, Jay, and Will (the most vocal about trying to play the game so he can get credit) would get caught left and right playing the game, she never did. Because of that she was never a target and thus not credited for her moves.

    I've been slowly making my way through the archives. One thing that I keep noticing; apparently the producers of Survivor believe the absolute peak of luxury is powdered sugar covered brownies. That was one of the things I distinctly remember from watching the first season so many years ago and that's still the shot they always show of the desserts during a reward competition.

    Hahaha. I've never been in a terribly hungry situation but brownies would be Down my pecking order. I'm assuming I'd kill for ribs, pizza or a burger.


    Also Michael Skupin with kiddie porn and a young fella who I didn't remember from Gabon passed away sadly over the break as 2 things on saw in mainstream news

    The Skupin shit is either horrible at worst, or a horribly unfortunate situation at best.

    I obviously was not on this jury, or in the room for any proceedings, but from what I gather it seems that there was a computer which was owned by him, but used by his company (Pay It Forward), where temp internet files were found in question. So technically it could have been anyone who used the computer? Who knows...

    I hope the later. He truely seemed like a bumbling nice guy in his return season when Abi would always laugh at him. I was terribly disappointed on multiple levels to have read about it last week

    So sad about Dan from Gabon too. I just finished his season and he seemed like a really good guy

    Yeah, tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually someone else, but unfortunately he's the only one that can be held liable if it was his business's computer.

    If it was a prior owner of the computer, that's kinda messed up considering it was only looked into to make it easier to bust him on the (legitimate) charges of running a scam or whatever.


    But apparently there were sketchy google searches (haven't seen a source on it, but saw someone say it on /r/survivor, not that they don't get sensational at times)

    The insidesurvivor site is usually 100% bang on the money though isn't it. We shouldn't expect a surprise I'm guessing

    Oh, I know that that cast is accurate (as much as I hate that site). But we get all the interviews and hopefully a decent chunk of footage

    Sensational! I should get around to watching more pre game stuff. Only got into ponderosa a few seasons ago

    I generally hate the whole "yasss queen slayyyy" type thing that people say.....




    Except when referring to Sandra, even though I'd be surprised if she makes it to the merge/super far this season. I got chills during her part of the original teaser for this season ("I'm the queen of Survivor...").

    Really excited for this season.

    At this point, if you don't vote her out early you're a chump haha. But stranger things have happened!
