SURVIVOR
RE: SURVIVOR
I liked Jeremy his his first time around and was sad when he got voted off. He may or may not be the most strategic player, but he seems to be a really good guy, and that's enough for me to root for him.

Too often it seems that the person who wins is someone I just can't stand, and the decision at the end is a lesser-of-two-evils thing.

I agree he's a good guy, just not very interesting or fun to watch. If it's not Spencer, I'd rather it be him than any of the other hooligans out there.

He saved Stephen from being voted out with one of his idols, he is strategic.

And thus the seasons-old debate is sparked: Which is more valuable in the game, idols or allies?

He doesn't want his tribe mates to know that Val is pregnant. He thinks it'll make him a bigger threat - tuggin' on thems heartstrings.

I think so, too, but I feel like it's a hidden-in-the-shadows type of game. The kind that any other player can look at and say "Why are you taking credit for that move? I masterminded that move!" and then he has to explain how he planted the idea in your head that ultimately put you on the path to masterminding a move...

I think it's a legitimate strategy, but I also think that if you get to the end with that strategy you have to also have a good final tribal performance and lots of pull with the jury (as in they have to like you).

You're such a Wentworth hater! Tongue She's not my favorite person on the planet but I think she's playing a winning game if she can get to the end. She's found idols, she's played idols strategically and well, she's seen as a challenge threat, she's been on the bottom but managed to stay in... I would have more respect for a Wentworth win than I did for Mike Holloway's win. (#throwingshade) Then again, I wouldn't have been happy with any of the final 6 in that game winning. Undecided

Ahhh I loved Mike. Loved that season specifically because he won. Awesome player.

Kelly is annoying as hell. Can't stand her and that's all there is to it lol. It's gonna ruin this season for me if she wins.

No, lucky player. He got to the end because he won immunity challenges, not because he was a great strategist or because he had built solid relationships with allies and he won because he was the least dreadful of that final three. (I was actually hoping for Carolyn to win because I hated Mike so much.)

If joe had made it to the end with Kelly and Jeremy, I would say one of the others should win over him because they had to navigate the game in a more strategic and social way than he did, but I wouldn't put it past a jury to vote for joe just because they like him.
