Keith saying something like “good luck winning challenges” after they voted him out was the best. Dude was horrible at challenges. I have a crush on Kelly so I’m glad they didn’t vote her out.
Survivor: Edge of Extinction
- Thread starter CYdTracked
- Start date
What's with the cliffhanger ending?
Is somebody REALLY not going to take the Edge of Extinction option?
I mean, you interrupted your whole life for months to play the game and when given a chance to continue you think, "Nah, I suck at this." Maybe...

Agree, pretty dumb. If it were day 29 and the person was physically/mentally exhausted and ready to tap, I get it. But they've been there 3 days.
Totally agree. The guy was walking down the path disgusted that he got voted off, then a sign says you are not done if you don't want to be. So he thinks about it. Dude you were just complaining that your game had ended and now it has not ended. I am not even sure why there is an option. Just go get on the boat.
I am interested on how they are going to do this Edge of Extinction thing. Is it just going to be like the old way to get back into the game except they are making it eerie?
This is exactly what I thought. Then again, there is no way he's going to last at Edge of Extinction.
I'm wondering if sometime later in the game, maybe even after the merge, they'll re-introduce the tribe of discards that's formed on the edge of extinction island to compete against those who haven't yet been voted out.
Our question is, do they go to the same "edge"? Or do they have a series of little atolls that they are using to keep them all separate?
The fact that he had to even think about it says he should not go there. He was upset about being voted off but had to waffle on a decision to stay in the game? Yeah they voted the right person off last night even if it meant they had to wait for another time to blindside Wentworth. Even if he does wind up choosing to go to Extinction Island I bet he raises the white flag before he gets a chance to get back in the game. Just seems like one minute he wants to play the game then the next he's not so sure.
This is what I was wondering last night too. It would be so much more entertaining as well as challenging if they all have their own stranded island they have to survive on until their chance comes.
There is no reason why anyone voted out pre-merge should choose to end the game unless they have a physical issue or just mentally can't handle the game anymore. You know that if any of the 4 returning players gets voted out soon they sure as heck won't choose to go home.
I do like the mentality of the new players so far. I've always felt you don't let returning players go too far because they've already had their chance to win the game and failed so why should you allow them to take your 1st chance at it away? Use them to a point then chop them off before the merge. Of the 4 I think David has the best shot at blending in and making it to the merge. He nearly got voted out week 1 of his first season and really grew as a player as the season progressed and so far he's making the most of his 2nd chance in the game. Developing the right relationships but not playing too hard. Wentworth and Aubrey to me are playing too hard already and the new players see it. Joe is just screwed regardless because he was a physical threat from the start so he has a target on his back regardless of his social game. David so far to me just seems to have balanced all aspects fairly well so far of the 4 returning players and not done anything too aggressive to put a target on his back.
Why does this question make me a tool, @CYdTracked ?
Edit: you are apparently one of the few that uses that reaction icon to actually mean "useful", rather than meaning "you are a tool"!
I think the worst example is when Boston Rob came on and everyone blindly followed him all the way to him wining a million dollars. I couldn't believe they didn't get rid of him at the last vote.
That one has to go down as number one in the annals of "what the hell were they thinking" Survivor seasons.
Boston Rob was a master that season. He was basically like the director of the game and told people what the rules were and they all said ok. Probably the best game anyone has ever played. Russell hantz first season was the best game play ever, he just was to cocky to win it and made people hate him. He was three steps ahead of everyone that whole season.
For the past few seasons I've been wanting them to find a way to avoid the merge, or at least wait to do it until much much later. The merge has gotten to be something that's predictable and expected, players strategy revolving around just making it to the merge. I think it'd be great to throw this curveball at them, would be completely unexpected.
Sorry, yeah I use those for what they actual are meant for not what apparently you implied it meant.
I agree, there was 1 season where 1 tribe got decimated to just 2 people and the merge was when Stephanie was the last member left on her tribe. Would be nice if they'd quit doing these tribe swaps so early too and just let a tribe get decimated like that some season. Seems like anymore if 1 tribe goes to tribal 2 or 3 times in a row "drop your buffs! we're switching things up." It would be more entertaining if they were left wondering when the merge is coming or if they are going to swap tribes to even the numbers out. There is no social theme for this season so let them play it out till they get to a certain unknown number to merge at.
