Replying to this so you get a notification but don't wanna quote that big wall of text. I don't disagree with Amber being last at this point in the rankings but more in the reasons. I didn't think her FTC was weak at all and I think humility and answering questions like luck helped her win the game was exactly the perfect call with that jury with a lot of bruised egos. Talking herself up or anything like that wouldn't have won their votes imo. I always saw Amber as playing an inferior version of Natalie White game: won second time around, had ultimate protection from her intimate relationship with Rob, seen as the lesser of two evils and people didn't actively want to vote for her and she just barely beat one of the bigger goats of survivor up to that point. This is also why I wouldn't give Rob player of the season because it was almost like watching Russell all over again with burning jury votes. I thought her saying luck had to do with her win was smart, but her delivery was extremely unconvincing and you could tell in the juror's faces that they wanted her to give them good reasons to vote for her and she was doing a pretty bad job. She just didn't have the delivery of a winner, more like the delivery of an Amanda. She sounded like she didn't give a f*ck who won. I don't really think they wanted or even needed a good reason to vote for her. The 4 votes she got were never ever going to Rob, but I think she just wanted to come off as sympathetic as possible. I hope you don't have her as the worst after you finish all 32 seasons. What do you think of Natalie White comparison?

I hope you don't have her as the worst after you finish all 32 seasons. What do you think of Natalie White comparison? Bob will most likely always be the worst winner tbh but she is definitely bottom tier. I get where you're coming from with the Natalie White comparison. They both "rode coattails" of the most outwardly strategic/unemotional players and both seemed aware (at least as it neared the end) that they had a good shot at beating their partner, but the big difference is that Natalie knew and stated that she was attached to Russell because she knew how he'd come across, while Amber didn't seem to be thinking that way entirely. Like she did in AO with Jerri, she more so seemed to cling on to Rob as a friendship and relationship, with the added bonus as they progressed in the game of him probably not being liked (but this came long after they were already a tight duo). Amber is the much less strategic version of Natalie in my opinion. Amber's social game was very on point though, and I don't think she's a bad winner, she's just not anywhere near the best.

Yeah I can agree with that. Natalie's first confessional in episode 4 even flatout says she's sticking with Russell since she's aware she can beat him. Roughly, Amber would be around the middle to late 20s for me.

I love Rudy. I'm so sad he didn't make it that far in this season. He's probably one of the most unintentional hilarious players this game has ever seen.

Also completely agree about rewatching this season. It's one of my favorite seasons but watching it again is kind of boring. Still love Boston Rob though. And it's amazing that him and amber met on this. And that they now have 4 kids...
So glad they've made their marriage last.

Okay so I've watched all the seasons up until this point but for some reason I do NOT remember Africa whatsoever, like I cannot even recall a second of it like ? So I basically don't really know the people from Africa on this season but TOM IS SO FREAKING FUNNY IN THIS FIRST EPISODE LMFAO. Like where even is he from with that accent it kills me

I am still trying so hard to get through this season. I even pulled out my DVDs of this season to watch the commentary of some of the episodes which is by far way more entertaining than the actual episodes.

Only reason I'm thankful for spending money on the DVDs for this season.

The camaraderie between everyone is so cute, like in the reward challenge where they had to play go-fish basically and match the items. Like everyone already knows each other and they all know that everyone knows the game and they're all stars so it's like super cute when all the tribes get together and just banter

It's fun to see them all together but it also sucks cuz it's so predictable.

Like if this were the Challenge then yeah it would be the exact same but I'm not as into Survivor as the Challenge so it's less predictable for me

Finally made it to the finale.
This whole BS friendship crap in the jury's speeches is just that....BS. Like I understand they were all friends but playing the game is still a game.
