Totally! Rob and Sandra were pretty good too in my opinion. And I was happy to see that Danni was willing to work with Rob even though he's a huge target, which could be a good strategy.
Gengar Crobat Rob and Sandra have lived through modern Survivor so it’s not that much of a surprise. They started in the precursor which is Heroes vs Villians, Rob played in Redemption Island which was the transitional period, and Sandra played in what we now consider modern Survivor which is Game Changers
@@captaintalon4485 Well RI wasn't too long after Heroes vs Villains and Sandra didn't last very long on season 34. And a lot has changed even just six seasons later.
i would love to see this breakdown on Tuesday. you will probably get more views if you release it a day before the new episode, give people more time to catch up before the episode.
Just want to take the time to say this was edited amazingly. The players and alliances are made clear through both the audio and editing and was as a result really enjoying to watch.
If Ben is smart he needs to blame the Natalie vote-off on being Rob and Parv's idea. Jeremy will be too heated to want to work with them and the likelihood he will confront Rob and Parv is very unlikely causing the New-School alliance to take the numbers.
I saw Sele as a solar system. The Ethan/Parvati/Rob trifecta are at the center with pair in Jeremy/Natalie, Adam/Denise, Ben/Michelle with each pair wanting to work with the trio. I'd say Danni's on her own because it isn't Rob's style to keep players who will flip on him. The trifecta will try to pick up Jeremy next episode. Ben's best bet is to organize Michelle/Adam/Denise/Danni for a 5-4 vote against Ethan.
You mean Adam? the one that orchestrated the move? I know Jeremy thought Ben was with him, but he must know Michelle was with him on the votes and Ben voted for Natalie..
@@dylanhilts7018 I know Adam was the orchestrator BUT Jeremy looked to Ben during tribal and Ben said "we'll talk" which gives him the opportunity to make the move to sway Jeremy and Michelle. Obviously it will take some relationship mending for Jeremy to trust Ben again, but this is Ben's opportunity to make a move to build the numbers.
@@acleverley Woah Woah Woah don't count him out, his win was a little shady but he's doing pretty good this season so far (besides the slip up with rob) but I think he has a real chance with Jeremy and Michelle.
@@shayneletendre9451 Jeremy wasn't voted out first the first time they played together. he got blindsided after the merge and he made it to the jury. natalie's twin nadiya was voted out first that season
Elliot H You didnt read that right my guy. Jermey was voted out first between the two of them last time, not first overall. This time around Natalie was voted out first and Jermey has to play the game without her
@@shayneletendre9451 I was rooting for Jeremy and Nat as well, I think putting them on the same tribe though was a mistake from the producers, they were too much of a pair and they should have been separated from the beginning like Rob and Amber. But Natalie WON her season avenging Jeremy's blindside and voting out everyone that voted him out so I think Jeremy could do the same for her. I think there is still hope haha
The pace of this episode was absolutely breakneck and 90 minutes of show went by in what felt like 10 minutes. Was worried some people would not give it their all but every single person has come to PLAY. Makes the experience 1000 times richer than if some were there for the sake of it. Not to mention that the “old school” players are not struggling in the slightest and often running rings around “new schoolers”
Definitely got to give a show out to the editing team on survivor they killed It , I was so shocked how amazing it was edited while I was washing the first episode
You washed the first episode? Was it stinky? Lol but yeah the editing was great, gave everyone almost equal time and they had cool camera shots they've never done before.
they've been making changes and trying out new (and old, forgotten) post-production techniques for a whike, for better or for worse. i liked the editing work in david v goliath and these first episodes of waw
Sandra and Ben are really good at creating and operating in chaos (although, Sandra seems far more intentional about it). I know that Ben kinda looked bad with the whole Rob interaction, but he has seemingly positioned himself pretty well and despite him being a major reason that the vote went Natalie, none of the blame is really being put on him. All in all, just what a great premiere. Like, I definitely have my faves (Parv and Yul being at the top), but I kind of don't want anyone to lose? Which is an interesting spot to be in.
I got super interested in Survivor about 3 weeks ago through your channel @Peridiam. No idea how i first stumbled onto it but, after watching hundreds of survivor videos, I realized the biggest ever season was about to occur and I knew I had to watch it. This recap was amazing given that I'm such a noob, I hope you do something like this for every one or two episodes, it was super helpful.
One of my favorite, "power moves", you may have missed. And that was Yul's response to Tyson asking, "Are you voting for me?". Yul didn't say, "No.". Rather he made it clear that Tyson was one of the few options he was considering. Very bold, and definitely Tyson realized how in control Yul was, and there was zero chance of Tyson being able to stop it at that moment. I'm very impressed by Yul and Rob so far. Both exceeded my expectations. I'd also like to showcase Parvati's skill. One just standing beside Rob when Rob was confronting Danni. It was clear to me, and I assume Danni, that Danni wasn't defending herself against just Rob. It was intimidating posturing by Parv, and 100% intentional. Even the questioning of, "who are we voting for?", by Parvati was so overt, I think Ben got hoodwinked right then and there to vote for Natalie. Parv and Robs willingness to just openly talk about, "secrets", with others present gives the illusion of alliance. Specifically in Robs case, where he's questioning Ben on the beach with Jeremy there too. Now Rob and Jeremy didn't have an alliance, but Ben was probably like, "Oh shit, I'm being called out and it's 2v1! help!". XD Ben was priceless, because despite what I'd like to be the case, I probably would have crumbled under the prescense of Rob too. :P Thx for the vid!
I love listening to you talk about survivor in any capacity, and your editing/breakdown was top notch. That being said, I didn't find the episode particularly hard to follow, so this video feels a little superfluous to me. If you plan to continue these types of videos, I personally would love to hear more of your thoughts/analysis of the gameplay rather than simply a recap. I may be in the minority here, so take it with a grain of salt. Regardless, keep up the great work, love your vids.
Awesome job with the voting animations! I watched the whole episode uninterrupted, and Peridiam still pointed out small stuff I missed. I could use these videos every week!
I've been a sleeper when it comes to your vids, have been watching for a while but haven't been subscribed, but this video made me take the leap. Really nice to have a visual representation of what the social dynamic looks like, as even as a big fan of the show it isn't always easy to remember every bit that happens with their fast cuts! Thanks for the vid Peridiam, here's to more to come! :)
THESE are the types of videos survivor needs! a lot of the strategy can't be covered by the editors because theyre focused on crafting the storylines and making an entertaining show. hardcore fans of survivor know it's all about the social game but we have hardly any accessible content exploring it in detail. I would love to see this kind of video for every episode of every season of survivor, of course that's a lot of work and it may well never happen.. but the nuanced approach of this kind of explanation video could make a lot of people who wouldn't be into survivor get really excited about it. wall of text no one will read but, TY PERIDIAM!
Please do this after every episode. I'm living in Denmark so I cant watch this season which I'm very sad about. This recaps it SO well so I would absolutely love it, if you recaps every episode so I can kind of keep up even though I can't watch the actual series.
I really loved the little maps, it helped explain everything very simply and was a good way to keep track of all the moving parts the premiere had to offer
Yul is my favorite contestant ever, but no way he wins. He’s too smart. Someone that has no power is going to end up winning this season. Someone like Wendell or Jeremy
Damn, me and my family barely talked during it, we just started watching at Mvgx so we didn’t know a lot of these people well, so the way these guys played left us dumbfounded
@@lincolnexists5918 If you wanna watch a good season between episodes i would suggest Heroes vs Villains in my opinion it is the best season of Survivor to date 4 people from that season are in Winners at War.
So nice, even if I can't watch the episodes, I totally understand all the moves and all the action of the episodes and I can predict what could happen after.
I love the way you mapped this out! There were so many moving pieces in that premiere and you broke it down perfectly! I would LOVE to see more of these in the future if the episodes warrant them! This season is already living up to the hype. I honestly found myself flipping back & forth between alliances myself, in light of all the amazing gameplay that was going on.
This is just the video I was hoping you make. Not only did you map everything out beautifully, we even have the same opinions on where every alliance is going. Super excited to see how everything plays out 👍
Damn that must have taken you some time, thank you so much. It's clean, funny and informative. I know it's a lot, but could we have this every week? ♥ Thanks for being such a fanboy with cool editing skills! Love from France x
I'm obsessed with this video, wow. The animation is great and so easy to follow. I can't believe you put so much work into a video that will get outdated so fast, but it is admirable. This video makes me so hyped to see the rest of the season now that you made the division of players so clear :D
Can you please do these breakdowns every week!?! The graphics are perfectly clear and sometimes i dont have time to watch a 1-2 hour episode so this overview is perfection!
I threw my best friend off the deep-end with this season (she has never seen American survivor before) and WOW the edit was so clean I had a hard time trying to explain things in between watching everything unfold. All she could say by the end in terms of who she was rooting for was "whoever is against the cult leader Boston Rob".
Could it be that Rob and Sandra talked about it and are just fooling' everyone? Everybody knows Rob and Amber can't stay both in the game, so they anticipated, and with one on the edge helping the other one in the game, they have a better shot. Just can't believe Sandra is going after Rob for the reasons she explains. She's smarter.
I thought so too until I read/saw an interview where she said she was truely upset over it. She was hurt, they bonded on IOI, and she really felt betrayed. From Rob's side, he said he was not giving anyone any information because information is power. I didn't hear if they (he and Amber) even knew they were going at the time IOI was filming. Filming for IOI ended May 4. WAW filming began 19 days later. Sure seems like maybe he would have known while out there with Sandra but maybe not finalized because of kids and Amber... or maybe it all came together in those 20 days he was home? It takes a lot of coordinating to see that 4 school aged children are seen to and cared for if both mom AND dad are out on an island in Fiji playing a game that made them rich (OK, maybe just comfortably well off).
Nah, she’s playing he old Sandra (you don’t disrespect The Queen) game she always plays. How she still gets away with it I don’t know. She just tells everyone that everyone else is dropping their names. And they all believe her! They all end up voting off whoever Sandra wants and 39 days from now they’re down to final 3 and they go WTF is Sandra doing still here. I’m telling you it’s like some invisibility cloak or something.
@@safetybeachlife exactly! That's the brilliance of Sandra's game that people always seem to ignore. She's SO good at planting little ideas in people's heads without them realizing that she's doing it. I love sneaky sandra
That quick exchange at the end of the second tribal when Sandra saw Yul give Kim the little shoulder pat was fantastic. Blink and you could miss it, but to me at least it was clearly showing that Sandra sees Yul's game, that she's watching everything and noting it all. It's not just bluster that she's the queen. She is incredibly observant and manipulative. I don't believe for a minute her story about Rob promising her he wasn't going to play. I think during their month together they worked out some kind of sneaky plan.
I love this. Please keep them coming... especially for this season! I run a fantasy tribe pool and this type of recap is so informative- especially when it comes to the alliances and how they are taking shape. Your lead up to this season has helped me get hyped- so thank you!!!
I agree! I was so excited for this premiere and was not disappointed. I have watched it 3 times now. Jeff says it gets better and I can't wait. I don't want anyone to leave (well, except Tony). I want to see Amber feed Rob some goodies, Sandra play her idol in a Tony blindside, watch Yul and Rob weave their magic. Love your breakdown, hope you do it all season. Helps to solidify my thinking before watching Ep2. Here we go!
Even though she was second out Amber played a much more aggressive game compared to her first two times. She looked for idols and she tried to target people.
this is the best breakdown ive seen and gave me a good conversation with my daughter. who is following the season too...so please, if you could..id love to see these each week x
The editing on this is amazing. Next level stuff with the movement of the circles, the chat boxes and the map. I followed this perfectly but only because I watched the first episode. Also, my girl Sandra and my dude Boston Rob were not the first or second boot. Your power rankings had them at 20 and 19 respectfully. Good stuff from start to finish. When it comes to survivor, you're the only person's channel I watch. It's intriguing, interesting, and intellectually stimulating.
Yul, Parvati, and Ethan picked up on the current meta of survivor so fast!
Oliver Mensinger Ethan watched every season of survivor leading up to WaW
Totally! Rob and Sandra were pretty good too in my opinion. And I was happy to see that Danni was willing to work with Rob even though he's a huge target, which could be a good strategy.

Yes! Please do it every week! This season deserves it!
I would def watch every week if you did one of these.
I would watch!
i would love to see this breakdown on Tuesday. you will probably get more views if you release it a day before the new episode, give people more time to catch up before the episode.

Everybody knows Rob and Amber can't stay both in the game, so they anticipated, and with one on the edge helping the other one in the game, they have a better shot. Just can't believe Sandra is going after Rob for the reasons she explains. She's smarter.
Is she tho
she’s smart but she’s emotional, and in interviews she seems genuinely upset about it
I thought so too until I read/saw an interview where she said she was truely upset over it. She was hurt, they bonded on IOI, and she really felt betrayed. From Rob's side, he said he was not giving anyone any information because information is power. I didn't hear if they (he and Amber) even knew they were going at the time IOI was filming. Filming for IOI ended May 4. WAW filming began 19 days later. Sure seems like maybe he would have known while out there with Sandra but maybe not finalized because of kids and Amber... or maybe it all came together in those 20 days he was home? It takes a lot of coordinating to see that 4 school aged children are seen to and cared for if both mom AND dad are out on an island in Fiji playing a game that made them rich (OK, maybe just comfortably well off).
Nah, she’s playing he old Sandra (you don’t disrespect The Queen) game she always plays. How she still gets away with it I don’t know. She just tells everyone that everyone else is dropping their names. And they all believe her!
They all end up voting off whoever Sandra wants and 39 days from now they’re down to final 3 and they go WTF is Sandra doing still here.
I’m telling you it’s like some invisibility cloak or something.
@@safetybeachlife exactly! That's the brilliance of Sandra's game that people always seem to ignore. She's SO good at planting little ideas in people's heads without them realizing that she's doing it. I love sneaky sandra
Your videos are great Peridiam, hope we'll have more of them during this season!
I agree!
That quick exchange at the end of the second tribal when Sandra saw Yul give Kim the little shoulder pat was fantastic. Blink and you could miss it, but to me at least it was clearly showing that Sandra sees Yul's game, that she's watching everything and noting it all. It's not just bluster that she's the queen. She is incredibly observant and manipulative. I don't believe for a minute her story about Rob promising her he wasn't going to play. I think during their month together they worked out some kind of sneaky plan.
This is a really great episode recap style it would be amazing to see each episode recapped like this or similarly. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE. TY TY TY
This is an awesome video, Perd. Your content has truly been getting me through the days! Keep it up man.
loved this kind of video! Super helpful in understanding the craziness that is happening!
This was an excellent analysis!
I love this. Please keep them coming... especially for this season!
I run a fantasy tribe pool and this type of recap is so informative- especially when it comes to the alliances and how they are taking shape.
Your lead up to this season has helped me get hyped- so thank you!!!
Love this format of a video!
Love the recap would love to see these weekly
I agree! I was so excited for this premiere and was not disappointed. I have watched it 3 times now. Jeff says it gets better and I can't wait. I don't want anyone to leave (well, except Tony). I want to see Amber feed Rob some goodies, Sandra play her idol in a Tony blindside, watch Yul and Rob weave their magic.
Love your breakdown, hope you do it all season. Helps to solidify my thinking before watching Ep2. Here we go!
Omg this is so good, do this every week
Even though she was second out Amber played a much more aggressive game compared to her first two times. She looked for idols and she tried to target people.
I CANNOT believe rob and Pavarti just squeaked by they’re so GOOD
this is the best breakdown ive seen and gave me a good conversation with my daughter. who is following the season too...so please, if you could..id love to see these each week x
The editing on this is amazing. Next level stuff with the movement of the circles, the chat boxes and the map. I followed this perfectly but only because I watched the first episode. Also, my girl Sandra and my dude Boston Rob were not the first or second boot. Your power rankings had them at 20 and 19 respectfully. Good stuff from start to finish. When it comes to survivor, you're the only person's channel I watch. It's intriguing, interesting, and intellectually stimulating.
This was super helpful. I think people would be very happy to see more like this!
Love love love this video! If you did one of these every two or three weeks (as every week is a lot work I get it) that would be amazing!
I'm down for these videos every week
Please please please do this style video for every episode. I loved the way you broke it down!
I love the visualizations! Great vid
I subscribed because of this video. I thought it was great! I would love to see more videos like this in the future.
wold love to see this weekly!
So well done 👏🏻 Please do this for each episode for this monumental 40th season.
Great recap and strategic outlining. Will come back for future episodes if you find it worth it to create them!
Who I want to win: Yul
Who I think will win: Yul
Biggest Sleepers: Nick, Sophie & Adam
Yul won't make the merge. He will be identified as the head of that alliance, and most likely taken out at a merge swap.
@@alucard8433 Agreed. Hopefully Nick goes all the way
Yul, Nick, and Adam will be gone before merge. Quite possibly in this weeks episode. Sophie is a possible goat pick, she'll be top 8, possibly top 6.
@@Aaron-yw7ji Nick will make the merge
@@trickybeatz5174 Unfortunately I wish that was the case. I kinda slap myself for visiting a certain reddit forum.
This is so good! Love the alliance maps. Please make one of these every episode?
it's kind of nice watching this 3 months after watching it on tv. reliving some great gameplay
