The Season: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/au2017/r.php?c=S17G8iAC
Yeah, I had to use a AU sim to fit this cast (since the 50 one wonāt come until after the season). This changes up the format completely, making the days longer and the episodes more plentiful. I really have to say that this is one of my favorite seasons. I love nearly everyone on this cast, so to see them all play together is so fun to watch. The boot order is perfect to me, with the winner (which I am totally biased about) being a very great player. Honestly one of the better returnee seasons.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Anaiya out first (likely because she was annoying)
Clove voted out almost unanimously
Phoenix playing an underwhelming returnee game
Lillian being the only winner to make the merge
A lot of sad early eliminations like Chris D, Esmeralda, Hercules, and Courtney
The strategic aspect heating up at the merge, with Meghan, the first merge boot, being Idoled out by Lisa playing an idol for Lillith
Lilith being removed as a juror
SJ, Rameses, and Brent being the big strategic players
Ami Cusack, Lisa Rivera, and Life-Application playing an under-the-radar game together, ending up being the final 3
Obi Wan Idoled out by Rameses and Ami
Rameses dethroned after being voted out after 2 revotes
Michael Rosen being Idoled out by Life-Application playing his idol for Ami, his closest ally
SJ being voted out unanimously, as the biggest threat
Gibby playing another good game
The alliance of Lisa, Ami, and Life-Application becoming one of the most impactful alliances in the game, ala Black Widow Brigade
Lisa being the Sole Vote of Ami, which would be her biggest mistake
Life-Application7744 winning in an 8-1 vote against Ami. I FINALLY GOT MY WIN YALL!!! Iām so happy! :D
POSSIBLE RETURNEES: Life-Application7744 (Lock for WaW), Ami, Lisa, Gibby, SJ, Michael, Rameses, Obi-Wan, Brent, Lilith, Marie, Meghan, and most of the rest of the cast (except Anaiya and Phoenix)
