I feel bad for Clarence. I think they purposely put him on a tribe with Big Tom because they probably thought it would cause drama between the two of them. (The same way they put Brandon on a tribe with Frank)
Allegedly the same was the case with Darrah and Tijuana/Osten on Pearl Islands where they expected Darrah to have some racist views (which might've been the case) which would cause tension between them but instead Darrah and Tijuana obviously ended up working together for most of the game.
They always put people from different walks of life on the same tribe. It started all the way in Season 1 with people like Rudy and Richard and B.B. and Gervase put together.
I wonder if they thought about doing old vs young this season because they have exactly 50% older players (Frank, Carl, Lex, Tom, Teresa, Linda, Kim J, Diane) and 50% younger (Silas, Brandon, Ethan, Clarence, Lindsey, Kim P, Jessie, Kelly).
@@voldemortsnose2410 You mean Gen X vs Boomers...but that was really only the case in Samburu, because over in Boran, Ethan was able to bridge the generation gap and have those close relationships with Lex/Tom/Kim J that got him to the end
I doubt it. I think they were trying to remake Australia. Samburu was Teresa = Tina, Silas = Colby, Lindsey = Jerri, Kim P = Amber, Brandon = Mitchell, Frank = Kel, Carl = Keith, Linda = Maralyn. Boran has shades of Kucha with Lex = Mike Skupin, Tom = Rodger, Jessie = Alicia, so on.
something to point out is when brandon goes home, the vote is 6 to 2, with frank getting the other 2 votes, from brandon and lex. however, tbird, kim powers and frank didn't even need to rope brandon back in, since if all 3 of them voted for big tom, the vote would be 3 to 3 to 2, with a tie between brandon and big tom. at this point, if tbird, kim powers and frank vote for big tom, he is gone, as he already had 3 votes cast against him from the lindsey boot. at the final 7, frank tbird and kim powers could have a better shot of roping in brandon, as he probably wouldn't want to work with a side who just tried to vote him out. needless to say, they would have a much better chance of winning out from that point forward.
That is genius actually I never thought of that. Africa was just not strategy heavy, they were dying out there they couldn't use their Brians like that haha.
I know its survivor Africa but can you do the history of anw 4 and i have ideas of how it would work in qualfying and semi finals you give the notable names that moved on and failed and for vegas you can do notable runs for stage 1 and stage 2 you can do the run order and then once they fail you can do the same things for the final 15 in the first 3 seasons as this person would compete until blank or is still competing and they did blank but for drew dreshcel you can just go over his run quickly or just give his result at the beginning

I used to think that way until I rewatched Africa and realized that the points that are made in this video about Lex are pretty big knocks against him as compared to someone like Ethan, because Lex doesn't always manage his relationships the best with the people on the outs, while Ethan didn't get any of that blowback that Lex did, despite the two of them voting the same way for every vote except the Brandon one, so that's more points for Ethan on the social scale as opposed to Lex
I think Lex is ranked too highly. If Brandon hadn't flipped at final 9, his move to target Kelly would probably be remembered at a similar level of bad gameplay to James not playing an idol at final 7.
Would love to see more videos like this! I hope you don't wait for the anniversary of every season to go through all of them.

@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong It just backfired on Clarence because Big Tom was too much to change his views.
@@handsoaphandsoapwhere did you hear that?
these rankings are really good. keep it going pls
These are my favourite of your videos, sad they come out so slowly, love the idea of working backwards from IOI

It was gen z vs baby boomers I think, I could be wrong

btw I’m your biggest fan and I love watching you videos every Saturday
Excited for your Survivor NZ Thailand player rankings in 2038!

I very much support the going backwards idea
why are you using tom's all star photo?
It's a shame they never brought back Kelly Goldsmith or Silas. Would have loved to see either again.
Silas💀
Hate to break it to you bud but Silas would never be allowed back due to some uhhh…. Dark stuff
19:57 it's funny how I can't really think of another instance off the top of my head where there is a double flip like that lol
Amanda’s elimination in heroes vs villains Sandra flips with the heroes to vote out Russell but Russell gets Candice to flip and vote out Amanda
@@justinpascal8332 yeah Candice gonna Candice lol
When are you doing pearl islands player rankings?
Wait then how is lex a top tier final juror but Ethan is a middle tier winner
probably because he ranks more winners highly than final jurors
Lex would probably be ranked as a mid tier winner as well.
Lex could of won the game also that’s why but they played similar games but Ethan was better socialable
I know its survivor Africa but can you do the history of anw 4 and i have ideas of how it would work in qualfying and semi finals you give the notable names that moved on and failed and for vegas you can do notable runs for stage 1 and stage 2 you can do the run order and then once they fail you can do the same things for the final 15 in the first 3 seasons as this person would compete until blank or is still competing and they did blank but for drew dreshcel you can just go over his run quickly or just give his result at the beginning
however im ok if you do it differently or if you dont do it at all anytime soon

Would love to see a Kelly Goldsmith return!
Kelly Goldsmith is now a casting agent, so I'm pretty sure she can't play again.
people in the comments who in this cast would you find interesting to watch play again
Lex, Teresa, Kelly
@@SB-jq8jj Lex already played again. The toehr 2, I completely agree.

Linda is an outstanding character. She might not be the greatest player but she colaborated the most than Kim P, Kim J and etc.
❤️
I agree with most of this list but Lex should be 1st
no ethan is better for sure they are close though

ethan beats lex in the final 2
First
I love you BLM
