- Survivor's Biggest Moves/Blindsides that failed in spectacular fashion.
All Rights to CBS and Survivor.
Sorry I had to cut the last one for copyright reasons.
List:
#10: Survivor Caramoan: Andrea. With an immunity idol in her pocket, Andrea attempted to blindside her biggest ally, Brenda. Brenda got wind of Andrea's plan and her alliance turned on her, taking her out with her idol.
#9: Survivor Second Chance: Fishbach. The entire game, Fishbach despised Joe and wanted him out. Joe finally didn't win immunity and Fishbach decided to play his secret advantage, which was the first ever steal-a-vote in Survivor. Fishbach stole Joe's vote, voted for Joe but was still blindsided by part of his alliance.
#8: Survivor Gabon: Randy. Randy's allies had been taken out in Marcus and Charlie, and he decided to make camp terrible for everyone else to receive votes, and counting on Bob having the hidden immunity idol. Bob had made a fake idol, and Sugar convinced Bob to give it to Randy, and Randy's plan backfired on him.
#7: Heroes vs Villains: JT. Nobody on Heroes vs Villains had seen Russell play before, and JT was adamant that Russell was good. With a small amount of cross-tribal communication, JT gave Russell his idol to 'save' him from the women on the Villains tribe. JT's idol was then used against him from Parvati to block out Sandra and Jerri's votes, and JT went home.
#6: Survivor 42: Drea. Omar had told Mike about Drea's 'Knowledge is Power' advantage, so Mike gave his idol to someone else to hold on to so Drea couldn't steal it. Drea then used her extra vote to attempt to get out Mike, but she didn't have the numbers to pull off the blindside.
#5: Game Changers: Cirie/Michaela. Sarah had given Cirie her steal-a-vote advantage as a sign of trust, but Cirie used it against Sarah to show her that Tai was being a rat in the game. Cirie couldn't use the advantage herself, and Sarah rallied the numbers to eliminate Michaela; Cirie's closest ally.
#4: David vs Goliath: Gabby. Gabby had done all of her moves with Christian in the game, her closest ally. She then decided to try and take out Christian to make moves of her own to get to the end. Gabby, taking a leap of faith couldn't trust her newfound allies who told Christian about the move, he first didn't believe them but then used his idol to take cancel out his votes, and Gabby was blindsided.
#3: Winners at War: Sandra. Sandra had an idol that could only be used at their next tribal council. Feeling safe, she wanted to make a big move to get out one of the guys, so she gave her idol to Denise. Denise already had a second idol, gave her idol to Jeremy as a sign of trust, and used her idol to take out Sandra.
#2: Micronesia: Erik. Erik continuously won individual immunity as he was the target of the Black Widow Brigade alliance. Feeling guilty about his past votes, the Black Widow Brigade hatched a plan to guilt Erik into giving up immunity and being in their good graces once again.
#1: Second Chance: Kimmi. Feeling on the bottom of her alliance, Kimmi decided to flip and side with Keith and Wentworth in the Final 6. Once Wentworth and Jeremy played their idols, there was another tie between Tasha and Kimmi. The group then had to decide to send Tasha, Kieth or Kimmi home, which lead to her demise. Had she flipped one vote sooner, she may have been in the final 3.
Honorable Mentions:
Survivor: Amazon: Christy
Survivor: Blood vs Water: Katie
Survivor: Worlds Apart: Dan
Survivor: Kaoh Rong: Jenny
Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X: Jessica
Survivor: Game Changers: JT
Survivor: Winners at War: Kim
Survivor: 41: Liana
i love how Russell winks at Jerry when her name is read as if to say, "you're welcome" like he had ANYTHING to do with saving her with the immunity idol & it wasn't 100% Parvarti's genius execution that saved Jerry. Classic Russell...
For sure
Not true Russel told her who the vote was on. If anything parvati playing the second idol was not optimal
Russell best villain and some Tony
@@tizianolarrosa6759 Yeah. . . . Not really. Both are the worst.
@@parkererickson264be Fr with us right now…
I love how they show all the contestants voting for Erik because everyone knew he was done for. 😂
Erik made himself look like the greatest fool ever in that play. 😂
Parv's idol play on HvV is top tier and that move solidified her as one of the greatest players of survivor history.
It would've been impressive if she only played it on Jerri. As it stands it's just okay. Honestly that idol play is really overrated.
@@abhainnxv It kept her entire alliance safe, so it wasn't overrated. Just keep quiet, boy.
@@PintheDog It’s overrated because it was obvious and a waste of an idol. How did Parvati not realise that the Heroes weren’t gonna target Sandra? Why did she give the idol to Sandra??
@@abhainnxv _We_ knew that. _Parvati_ didn't know. All that she was told by Amanda was that it would be Sandra or Jerri. So she had to take the chance.
Again, sit down, boy. You don't know what you're talking about.
@@PintheDog What do you mean "She was told by Amanda was that it would be Sandra or Jerri" Amanda fucking lied to her face. With a terrible poker face that literally anyone could see through.
Anyway, you're still missing my point is that it's overrated because it was really obvious. The daring impressive move would be to sniff out that Sandra was also safe (which there was plenty of reason to believe, such as Rupert being on the Heroes tribe as well as the worry that Sandra was gonna flip on them anyway) and only play it on Jerri, thus also keeping her 2nd idol a secret to avoid hurting her relationship with Russell.
Also, no need to be a condescending prick. We're talking about a game here.
I love your videos so much. These are exactly the types of videos I want to watch as a survivor super fan. Keep up the great work.
ahh thank you! i just made videos id want to watch lol
@@jimmysurvivor no problem!! Super excited for the videos you make next
I completly agree you have the best video ideas
Watching Corrine and Randy's faces fall after it was revealed to be fake while the others laughed in their faces was so satisfying omg
Corrine was such an idiot. She actually believed she was some great Survivor villainess.
Even more funny considering how arrogant their alliance behaved.
your fiore pic
Sugar trying to hide her laughter and failing to do so knowing exactly what was going to happen coupled with Randy's smug look when he played the fake was amazing
Parvati’s double idol play is still one of the best in Survivor history.
I'd never thought of Randy's fake idol fiasco as a failed "big move" before, but that just makes it even funnier to me!
Christian's acting like no one told him he will be blindsided that night was funny. Davey told him everyone was writing his name. MIke did the smart move putting Gabby's name because another David should be voted out.
I forgot how Iconic Drea was. Never have we had someone plant their torch then scurry back to hug another castaway
That doesn’t make her iconic. Once you are voted out you are supposed to leave the tribal council area immediately.
@@brianezell5790she still had fire so she still had life technically & therefore did not break the rules. At least she went out with a smile & good attitude
I don’t have any respect for drea after what happened during ponderosa
@@jakobthiesse4775what had happened? If you don’t mind explaining it to me I didn’t see it
@@Moriahsmith-ww7bj so after getting voted out drea basically made a bunch of rumors about Omar using his father’s death to his advantage in the game and calling him a racist and leading the charge to take out every black player left in the game witch is ridiculous
The way they all giggled
The non-transferable thing was so dumb, Cirie and Michaela were massively screwed over
Agree!
Always check the fine print
@@AsraliaX2 Yeah she should've read more carefully but I don't think the non-transferable rule should exist in the first place, and if it's going to exist then Sarah shouldn't have been able to give her the advantage in the first place. It's just bad game design and I feel like it would've fooled almost any player
@@drewlmao yeah very bad game design
They've been screwing Cirie over and over.... The best who never won !!!
If Cirie's move worked, she would have been the only person on the show to have flush two idols at once.
Drea had such a great exit. I loved the cast of 42, I hope we get more casts like that! The bubbly Maryanne being no one else but herself! Drea being very intelligent and sneaky, but very composed. Jonathan being a meathead powerhouse challenge beast, Mike being the sensible father figure… I could go on! An amazing cast and probably my favorite of modern survivor
Drea was fake, a race baiter and a bully on Ponderosa. Hope we never see someone like that again. We probably will tho.
Drea defamed the living hell out of Omar so he couldn't win the million dollars, all because he was a better player and blindsided her. I was a fan of hers when 42 was airing too, her being a vile person was the real blindside.
Hated 42. I did not like how Maryanne decided to vote someone simply because she felt someone white had to go. Survivors getting voted out has never been about race. Threats are voted out. The show rarely had ethnic diversity and she is right but nothing can be done about the past. The CBS mandate ensures ethnic diversity in the new era. Maryanne also is a goofball.
Because of Season 42's winner, it is definitely one of my favorite seasons.
@@jeremydelay9990agreed
Dang, I forgot how great the vote reading music was at that Tribal Council where Drea went home.
Some of my nominations:
The four horsemen (actually 3) attempting to use the idol. One of the funniest ones. They went from very cocky that they fooled everyone to absolutely devastated. The one who played the idol was the only one not to have votes on him lol.
James trying to throw the challenge in China, but Denise being unable to eat the food, forcing James to win the challenge lol.
Kenny attempting to blindside Matty in Gabon. Kenny was controlling the game, but his ego made him want to vote every person out. Turns out they didn't have the numbers and he lost his alliance by trying to betray them.
Malcolm's double idol play. The whole idea was to shake up the game. However, he ruined the whole thing by announcing to everyone his whole alliance was voting for Phillip, giving no one else a reason to change their vote. Malcolm was voted out the very next episode when he could have kept the idol and saved himself and possibly found a 3rd idol.
Drew throwing the challenge in SJDS to get rid of Wentworth. He got himself voted out.
22:05 the first time Sandra hasn’t said in a voting confessional “the queen stays queen or “adios
Denise taking out Sandra in WaW is still to this day one of my favorite moves of all time. Everything about it is pure perfection. 👏👏🔥🔥😭
Great move, took out the wrong person though.
@@TheChamp33 ya agreed
@@TheChamp33well it did buy her time. She got to f6. She outlasted Kim and Jeremy. Had she voted out Tony or Kim, she could have been targeted earlier in the merge.
@@W81Researcher Her getting out Tony definitely would’ve made more moves for her, she would’ve had shields like Sandra, Jeremy, Ben, Wendell, Sarah, and Sophie serving as a bigger target than her once merge came.
@@TheChamp33Sandra was not making it to the merge. New school was taking out all old school winners.
Fishbach definitely blew it by not using both of his votes for Joe. I feel like that could’ve changed the game. I also feel that not getting rid of Jeremy (on Second chances) and Cochran (in Fans v Faves 2.0) was a mistake because they were social threats
definitely - fishbach was definitely blindsided! should’ve seen it coming since he got the majority the previous time but hey, that’s survivor for you
@@jimmysurvivor is fishbach a fan favorite? I’ve always sort of disliked him- from what I can remember from his first season (the only one of his I’ve watched so far) he’s kinda smarmy
And he voted for Abi😅
@@longfellowthefirst5065 fan favourite or not - he was voted in by the fans for a *second chance*. like me personally, i really dislike ciera and cant imagine anyone really rooting for abi maria as a "fan favourite", but thankfully they werent voted to play again for a "fans vs favourites" season, but rather as a "second chance"; whether you like them or not, if they fans think they deserve a "second chance", the votes will show
Wrong actually - he screwed it up by voting for Joe at all. If he voted for Abi with both votes, it would’ve been a tie between himself and Abi with Abi likely going on the revote
i love how drea n his teammates play without being so toxic. love mind blown gaming
Drea is arguably one of the most toxic Survivor players in history considering her actions on Ponderosa.
You should consider doing a single format where you show all the juicy stuff leading up to a certain tribal event!
Thanks for reminding me why Savage Sarah is one of my favorite winners ever. Sure, she received the majority of the votes at final six, but what were the odds of her NOT using the Legacy advantage? What they should have done is let at least two people be vulnerable. If they were Troyzan and, of course, Cirie, Troyzan would probably be voted out.
Why did Sarah vote out micaela if tai was the rat?
“Loser😃”💀
Another one could be Yau-Man with that car & Final 4 immunity deal. Also, Kenny & Crystal Final 7 decision to split the moves. This could be a 2 or 3 parter.
Ohhh yeah I forgot about that. Definitely
I like your videos. Maybe when Survivor starts up again, you'll get more subscribers.
After seeing the episode with Erik being fooled by cerie, I think if she just kept her word and go on with the plan that he told Erik, and take out parv, I think she have won that season.
I wish Cirie won once
she won season 50 tho?
Wasted two idols to get out an ally. Denise’s move is one of the dumbest in survivor history if you really think about it
Not even close to being true
I agree with you on Denise. Before the game started her only plan was to get rid of Sandra. Sandra was not that big of a threat. Tony obviously would have been the best option. Especially knowing Sandra doesn't win immunities and can go any time
@@AKIsAClown I don't think it's one of the dumbest, but it was a classic example of making a big move just so she can say she made one and not thinking through that voting out Sandra at that point wasn't an ideal situation for her game
@@NYChica23 yeah I agree but I think what really screwed Denise’s game was playing up to move and making a big deal out of her move. had she laid low and not revealed how she got the second idol I think she would’ve been fine
Yep. She was more concerned with getting Sandra’s head as a trophy instead of a win.
Am so sorry Alison😂
Parv ❤
I love drea what a cutie pie she has such a good heart and personality.
@@sanaaforté lol u obviously haven’t heard about ponderosa
Would been epic if Eric played an idol
I'm still shocked how Kimmi did an 180 on her game from AO to Cambodia.
Imagine if erik pulled out a hidden immunity idol
I feel sorry for Eric
#4 was a success for Christian. That’s cool his closest ally got voted out.
I forgot how annoying second chance was by using 15,000,000 last names.
Wentworth and Wiglesworth had to, since they had the same first name and last initial. Savage was just Savage.
Well, with the ladies it made sense, because otherwise, Jeff wouldn't have been able to tell if people were voting for Wentworth or Wiglesworth, since they were both Kelly/Kelley W
I'd try doing a voice over for videos like this... it's pretty inconvenient to have to watch the video and then read the description to get what point you're making. Sorry.
If I remember right, either Peridiam Or Once Upon An Island did a video similar to this, with voice overs explaining whats going on
Cirie is always touted as one of the best players, but in this video, she made such a fool of herself by trying to use an advantage that clearly told you it was not transferable. Then she tried to do cleanup and have Michaela help her.
DENISE IS AN ICON SHE IS A LEGEND AND SHE IS THE MOMENT CMON NOW
16.10. Most epic and humiliating ,,, can i have that....eeeee 😮vvveeeeerrrrr
Here we have the best cst for "Heroes vs Villains 2.0". Hope Survivor Gods will hear this plea.
24th means Jeremy voted Denise, too..
If cirie tried to steal tais vote instead of Sarah's it would've probably never been called out, and cirie would get tai and tai out and out of michaela aubry and her michaela wouldve probably gone at f6 and cirie wouldve been in the f5, vlting out tai was the right idea but she shouldnt have stole sarahs vote
You need to hire a proofreader.
How could Erik be so stupid?!!!
My only criticism is you should’ve had Liana’s failed KIP instead of Drea’s. Much more of an iconic moment.
I think that Drea's had more of a domino effect, because it resulted in Omar getting booted next after she outed that she'd only told him about her advantage.
Erik was a total disgrace to his own family For that awful move.
Love Andrea, so beautiful
never understood why cirie didnt just throw that advantage in the fire after that
So Cirie did not know what non-transferable meant? Wow
@@sevenitta-_- no, she did not read the advantage before she used it
Erik giving his idol was the most insane move ever, not even a todler would take such risk. The Dumbest survivor ever "ERIK"
we NEED drea on season 50!!! PLEASE.
not after the shit she pulled at ponderosa.
@@jimmysurvivor wait remind ne
She’s a disgusting race-baiter and liar.
Enlighten me I haven't watched since they kept putting Rob and Amber on@@jimmysurvivor
Crystal made me laugh so hard 😅😅😅
I hated her. Loved Randy. She was a massive crybaby on Gabon.
You misspelled in opening text
0:01 I hate to be that guy but...
*Explanations
Michaela is the dumbest survivor player in history. Telling someone they can’t be part of a conversation because she deems it so? She would never have won anything
How is anyone a rat if they are playing their game, not yours
Explanations
Sarah is so annoying ugh
#5 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 SUCH a classic 🥸🤓🥸🤓
Michealla is such a bitter, arrogant, self-righteous player. Hope we never see her again.
explAnations
drea was so annoying LMFAO
Maddie, Joe and Malcolm not being related is bizarre to me for some reason
