he came to terms with his sister's death Ah ok. While I have you here, what should I know about Fishbach Fishbach is a gamebot, but a likable dorky one. He's a Survivor Pundit who analyzes the show's strategy specifically, so he's been studying his competition very well.

Kind of surprised Mama C didn't get a spot? ? ? I guess, it was too little too late, in becoming a Likable, Memorable contestant for her. Since, I guess she was more crotchety and villainous before she aligned with Mike and Idol'd Dan out. Oh well, I think she's a lock for a future season as a returnee, since she was more recent. I just worry so much for T-Bird, since that may have been her LAST CHANCE EVER.

OK Kelley's the first "Huh?" for me. Wentworth I'll give a chance for. She might be a surprise unknown to me, though I'm sad if she's one of the people who took T-Bird's spot. Jeremy, from the clips I've seen and his video before voting, I don't really like him and is a clear example of recency bias, when there are other so much entertaining people out there to choose from, like Shane, when he seems incredibly boring

WHAT THE **** How can he keep getting screwed out of returning. I thought for sure he was a lock. I BLAME TERRY. Shane is kicked out! Also Jeremy in instead. WTH. I want him gone right away. Shane needs to come back in a future season with T-Bird.

UGH Terry is awful. I wonder who of the ones I liked he kicked out.
Yay for Chaos Kass. She was a MAJOR reason why that season was so unpredictable and entertaining. Great Troll/Villain.

T-Bird no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! T-Bird was one of the ones I was excited to see again, since she's like a brand new contestant for me. I REALLY hope they give her a chance to come back again in a future season. Damn it. I wonder which girls kicked her out of such a deserved spot.

... Am I the only one who doesn't see it in Kimmi? Australian Outback was one of my first seasons, and even though I watched it like three years ago, I can still remember not being at all impressed. She was an entertaining Big Mouth, involved in "Wave your finger". Plus with Varner in there, if you're voting for him, than Kimmi is a must. Plus since it was soooo long ago, voting for many of the older seasons and season which I have not seen (Keith Nale's season for example, which I heard he was the memorable/likable character), makes it feel like I'll be seeing brand new contestants.

Hopes for SC contestants, not in any order...
Male: Spencer Joe Keith N Andrew S Jeff V Shane Max Fishbach Vytas Woo
Female: T-Bird Ciera Mama C Chaos Kass "Big Mouth" Kimmi K Tasha Kelly Wiglesworth PG Abi Maria Shirin
Honorable Mention: Monica (Mikayla, almost got this spot, because I wanted to give her a chance as I liked her, on her original season, and she was only eliminated because of Brandon Hantz, but when I heard she slept with both Hantz' I vomitted in my mouth a little and NOPE'd out of doing that, mean-while Monica kept winning me over with her enthusiasm)

Haha, so Joe is clearly going to be on second chances. Joe just came across as a person who wins at life. Good socially, likeable/nice to everyone, respectful to elders, was an under-dog, good-looking, challenge-whore who was both athletic and smart with puzzles. It was no wonder he was a huge target by everyone, even his own allies a times. I can see why he'd win it, especially since he was on the most recent season and there is recency bias.

Is Mike the first to dominate the challenges and win final tribal? Can';t really remember the first, but Judson is the first that came to mind.

Though editing hints point at Mike, because of Lindsey's "The Winner is on this Mat" quote on blue collar Mat.

Yes!
A better top 3 is than anticipated! I hope the jury tears apart Will, he's awful.
Looks like it'll be a VERY CLOSE battle between Mike and Mama C. It could go either way, honestly.

I'm with you on One World. Started off good, but once Troy was gone, the outcome was obvious, the suspense was supposed to be over which alliance Kim chose to beat in the end. But this season? I find Mike way more likable than Dan. Once Shirin left, Mike and Mama C became my top picks. Dan is a pompous arrogant ass, at least Mike has some redeeming qualities. But Carolyn is who I'm backing. Mike has no redeeming qualities and I could NOT stand Shirin at all. After Dan got voted out this season lost any level of appeal for me. I want anyone BUT Carolyn or Mike to win. Out of curiosity, what do you like about Dan/Will/Rodney?

I like Mike a lot but he is a Fabio/Bob/Amber level winner in terms of gameplay since his entire game was reliant on immunity. His early game was pretty good, before merge, where he earned Kelly's trust big time, took control of his group and won over Sierra and Joe, took out Joaquin who had strong ties with both Tyler and Rodney, then was leader of the group at merge, side - tracking Joe's group from trying to do anything (I like Joe though), then discovered his group conspiring against him (Almost ended up another LJ is he didn't), winning a great social game with Shirin's group and getting Mama C to join him, while also planning out some pretty strategic things with immunity idols and winning challenges when he needed to most, taking out people I dislike in the process while being super charismatic. I feel like he's earned this win if he does win.

Mike may end up being my least favorite winner ever if he wins this. Out of curiosity, what did he do to get your fury? He seems to be the most likable left.

Best cooking invention I've ever gotten as a gift. So useful. Good quality too, still looks new after... 12 years! (I was a freshman in high school when I got it.) Mostly I put Roast in there or Kalua Pig.

Didn't watch this season at all until recently. Marathon-ed through the whole season this past weekend. Hyped for the finale now.
Thoughts: I started to like the season at the beginning, but then it looked like every likable contestant was getting eliminated one after another (Max, Kelly, Hali, Joe, Jenn, Shirin) with everybody left being or becoming incredibly unlikable, every irritating contestant managing to survive and getting WORSE as the season goes along (Dan, Rodney, Will: ALL GROSS PEOPLE).
I was fearing a boring arse Pagonging in the merge, where people I don't like keep surviving every episode. For what it's worse, that is THE number 1 thing that makes me tune out of watching survivor for the rest of the season and never look back: A clear Pagonging of one group over the other every episode. Which is why CAGAYAN S28 and GABON S17 were so awesome, because they avoided that pitfall and had interesting characters to boot!
Season 30 seemed to be turning me off, and the show was turning into such a bore/chore, but luckily my interest came back because it felt like MIKE was single-handedly making the merge interesting again when he went Rogue and started fighting his own alliance who he had caught that had turned against him. And Mama C has actually joined in, in making it better, after being likable at first, then turning into a crotchety hagress playing part in taking out everyone I liked and then turning likable again out of nowhere when she started siding with Mike and eliminating Dan from the show.
So, luckily those last few episodes has turned me back in favor of the show, and I'm hoping the show ends up on a good note with one of these two, deservedly winning.
Rodney, Will, Sierra is YUCK for a final 3.
Will/Rodney are disgusting and I hope somehow Sierra continues being an idiot and sides with Mike/Mama C for the benefit of my entertainment.
Sierra, started off pretty good, as being an outcasted swing vote, but lost all my good-will toward her, when she sided with the people she hated and became a weak-willed follower/zombie with absolutely NO BACKBONE in the game to make any moves. Those are the 2nd worst kind of contestants on Survivor outside of the absolutely VILE personalities, because they just ruin my enjoyment of the show, by doing nothing and just helping along numbers and playing for like 6th, 5th, 4th, or 3rd, because they can't think for themselves.
Otherwise I'd prefer Sierra win over Will/Rodney. Though, I suppose Rodney has the best game of those three. He's just so douchey though!
Mike or Mama C FTW, Please!

I enjoy the joke answers, but I'd like some serious answers as well too, if possible.
