I recall Dee steering a lot of the votes from about f10/f9 and on which is why I'm so firm on Dee's side tbh. I never once thought Austin had a winning edit either once they merged. Maybe I need to rewatch sometime.

i agree. dee completely controlled the kaleb, kendra, emily, and drew votes. drew did kellie, and emily did bruce. austin was never really in control the way dee was. she 100% was the correct winner

I do not get the Emily love on Twitter and from Sia. People just stan her because she went from an entertaining wreck to a sweet doormat for two guys?

tjsfinal#635

oh

FromTheNorth#636

Couldn't care less who sia likes. Fan Fav should have never went away

Flopnanas#637

TwoStrikes#638

Sometimes things can be wrong, we rarely get 100% accuracy. It's always a nice surprise when something isn't right too. Then you also combat the edit because you're like "no way this person goes per spoilers....and then they do."

TwoStrikes#641

i accidentally spoiled myself for s44 and didn't find it as exciting 

TwoStrikes#642

it's basically like watching winners at war and then watching the seasons each castaway won. you know who wins so you really don't care about anybody else and instead focus on what that person did that got them the win throughout the season

Flopnanas#643

They should edit more seasons like when gabler won. Not many people on social media thought he ever stood a chance even in the final episode.

That's just saying they should do a bad job editing lol.

they made it look like russell was going to win samoa and it's still a great season

Now I KNOW this is a troll. This is by far the worst edited season of all-time. It was disgusting actually and ruined what could have been a top tier season had it been edited properly with airtime evenly split and not making it the prequel to Trolls movie.

FromTheNorth#648

They made Gabler look like a Phil Shepherd level goat. Thought tbf the juries are so bad these days Phil could probably win if he played now and won fire or started bragging at final tribal about having an idol and not using it

i almost stopped watching survivor till samoa. russell saved survivor and brought elements on the game that people liek tony used to win. and his dominant (almost win) on samoa made heroes vs villains what it was when he was a goat the entire season. best 2 season stretch "Of all timeeee"

HvV is such a timeless gem. Imagine if we got some of the people that they wanted but declined (HEIDI).

FromTheNorth#651

HvV is iconic but Russell was very close to singlehandedly ruining it. Nobody came to see all those legends only to have some new loser get all the screentime

ChampionDarrell#652

Boston Rob vs Russell? Parvati Russell? Sandra burning the hat? Jts letter?

you're crazy. You don't have to like him but he made that season what it was

I agree with you but HvV didn't feel as Russell-centric when compared to Samoa

anon12423452355...#654

Parvati and Sandra constantly clowning Russell was hilarious and great tv. They trade to make him an untouchable god on Samoa but Natalie carried him and Mullet lady was just a bitter old hag that ruined her own game to spite the pretty 90210 girls. Plus we know production was giving him idols just like they did Ben.

anon12423452355...#655

I recently rewatched Samoa and the racism treatment to Yasmine was disgusting. It put an awful taste in my mouth for the rest of the season tbh.

Hauserman#656

Ben is an awful nasty racist gremlin. 

WesTracked#657

Wendell cheated on his long time girl friend and mother of his 2 kids with the most recent winner Didn't know he got down like that

JustQR#658

We sure it wasn't Yam yam who Wendell cheated with

JustQR#659

Ben is an awful nasty racist gremlin. 

Everyone besides Jaison and the fat maga cop lady supported him too. 

Flopnanas#660

ChampionDarrell#661

Austin got played!!!
