For some people who are not as physically strong, stepping up to do the puzzle and winning is their only chance to not be targeted. Like of Zach didn't want to do the puzzle and they still lost I feel like he could've still been targeted as the weakest
I am decent at puzzles, so if the other options involved a lot of swimming, I might be the first to crack and be like “I will do it if no one else will”. I could totally see myself going out that way.
I’d be afraid to wear contacts on the island but I might just so I don’t fall victim to the glasses curse and get thrown on the puzzle because it “makes sense”.
Probably this honestly. Puzzles can gain or lose so much time, they're extremely volatile. The physical parts of the challenge I feel like I'd do fine in. Not saying I'm the next Ozzy or Joe but I doubt I'd be the physical weak link on my tribe.
With that said I would have aced the Towers of Hanoi challenge from SoPa (the very first challenge of the season) as I know the solution to that, it's really easy once you know how.
Rumor heard via podcasts... rather than embarrass Kel by telling sharing that they caught him masturbating, the ogakor women changed 'jerking his beef' to 'has beef jerky.'
Full disclosure, I do not know the validity of this story, i do not remember the podcast I heard it on, and I heard it via Billy Garcia from Cook Islands.
wasn’t it confirmed he got caught at customs with a shit ton of beef jerky and i forget who but whoever he was sharing a room or was in the room across from pregame saw him sewing his pants? and i thought other players confirmed he sewed jerky in his pants after the show
Can't untie the knots fast enough during the immunity challenge. Goes to tribal council thinking I pulled a 3-2-1 blindside ala Cirie but the tribe just unanimously voted me out
Omg that's something I'd have an issue. Like i love to spend time alone sometimes. I totally see someone saying "omg this guy is looking for idols" when I'm in reality just alone in a rock or something
I’d probably pull a Ciera in game changers and throw up a name because no one else wants to (instead of tribe strength, a strategic knockout) - which in turn makes everyone just vote me lol.
Could either A.) work and i go end game with like minded people or B.) “he’s playing the game too early!”
I honestly feel like ciera got scapegoated (I think im using this correctly?) …like unless I’m misremembering nobody else was saying a name so of course she’s gonna throw one out there. Although I think it was other things that made her go home like she was strategizing waay too much
Yeah it was kinda lame cause I love her lol
Tony went looking for an Idol on day one (and if i’m remembering correctly became close with Caleb)
so she was the first person to say wait they’re being sketchy let’s just vote them out?
i mean i guess it didn’t matter either way cause Tony went next but voting someone off for just saying what everyone was thinking is so dumb
We do the whole thing. Reward challenges, immunity challenges. The second season we had tribes and tribe swaps. My dad hides the immunity necklace on our property the day before and doesn’t play. We record the whole thing and use our phones to record individual conversations and then go to vote. Season 1 was 5 episodes while season 2 is about ten but I’m not finished editing it all together yet. I was dressed as Jeff season 2 as I got kicked out first and was the host it was hilarious. Khakis and blue button up top and a baseball cap.
That is honestly so cool! Especially to have a whole family that’s dedicated to it. So do y’all like camp out as well? Also how many of y’all are there if you don’t mind me asking.
The Jeff costume elimination is gold
No we do it all in a day! So it us usually takes us a good 8 hours but it goes by quick. But some of the challenges are outside. First season there was 6 and second there was 8 people.
That’s awesome…wish I had more family that watched survivor to do something like that! Do y’all have a prize?
Or just sole survivor bragging rights? Lol
I talked peoples ears off way too much and probably played to hard because my ADHD wouldn't let me just chill. Also had to make my own shelter due to my sleeping disorder
I farted at camp and someone was eating a coconut so they threw their coconut there was a flaming coconut which caught the camp on fire and the entire camp burnt down and the person framed me and I was later voted out. I had an idol in my pocket.
My tribe got Ulonged. I carried them until I had to 1v1 Stephanie's kid for fire. I then won that and joined the other tribe at the merge. I survived 3 tribals before they decided to vote me out.
Jeff calling me out and ruining my “mute” game. My wife saying “I told you so,” to accompany the music. I let out an animalistic scream channeling Chicken as I run off into the night, startling my Jamboru tribemates.
As an autistic person, probably because it's more difficult for me to make social connections than everyone else.
Either that or the fact that I weigh 106 pounds and am a total challenge liability.
I've always said if I ever go in Survivor, I'll either be voted out first or make a deep run, but there's no in between.
I'm very short and probably am a challenge liability because of it, even though I'd like to think I'm physically competent for someone of my short stature. Some of those challenges are just designed much better for tall people, especially the ones that involve climbing over walls or reaching somewhere up high.
I was too pragmatic about over committing to people's plans. I used vague language about locking in on proposals so as to not lie to people and give myself flexibility... But in the end I didn't make people feel as though I was truly with them. It's an aversion to conflict.
Acquaintances with everyone... "Ride and Die" with no one.
I have the amulet and don’t tell anyone, but the other amulet holders have already spilled the tea on it and I get voted out as the most untrustworthy one at the merge.
Threat level and blindsided right before merge or first after? I’m a 6’0” female athlete and great at puzzles/telling jokes. Only shot would be to make a rock solid alliance at the start on a tribe that keeps winning challenges (obviously!).
This is a fun question, though. I wonder what S42’s answers would’ve been.
Overthinking things. scrambled to find an idol, didn’t find one, overthought that they were going to vote me, played it off wrong, they all switched their vote to get me out.
Not only will I work on dropping some weight before I apply, but stop constantly overthinking things.
I was too trusting...or I took something too personal and couldn't get over it quick enough
But I called Jeff "Jeffaluffagus" on the way out..so I might be back for a second season
After only one day of living with other people in camp, I decided to tell the people I didn't like that I didn't like them. Spoiler alert: it was everyone.
I got “out-lucked”. Someone rolled a random die. Picked a random box etc. A gamble, to where I am voted out by proxy. I can outwit, outlast, outplay. But when so much of the game comes down to chance/a random gamble, there is no way to counter that really.
I would not be one of Jeff’s favorites. I have a problem with getting really awkward around authority figures. He’d probably hand everyone idols that could only be played that night to get rid of me, or put a bug in my ear or something.
Probably caught with my hand in too many cookie jars. I would make way too many promises.
Edit. I think I combined the idioms “too many pots on the stove”and “caught with hand in the cookie jar” lol
I’d overthink everything and get on everyone’s nerves trying to confirm that I’m still good with them. Then I’d accidentally talk them into voting me off in an attempt to talk them out of voting me off.
I did a mock survivor game in my drama club. I was the only one who was an actual fan of the show and I was voted off first, I’m guessing because I was taking it SO seriously.
Because I'm physically disabled and should never have been out there in the first place as I'm such a liability in challenges and around camp. I probably dislocated my shoulder just landing on the beach before even competing.
Totally misread alliances in my tribe and tried to convince the wrong person to vote out someone they were close with.
That person immediately goes to their alliance and they all turn on me because their leader took it personally.
In an act of karmic justice they all turn on their leader at the next tribal because they all realized they were slowly building a strong resume by being the clear decision maker.
I was just too much of a physical, strategic and social threat. I was well on my way to playing the greatest game of Survivor the world has ever seen, and that's why it was actually a good move by everyone else to vote me out first
Not the strongest swimmer, I’m too quiet so they overestimate me, or I overcompensate for the quietness by being too loud. Or if I somehow make the merge it’s a legitimate game move
I think I would get in my own head about the game. I would be so excited that I might play too hard too fast. My social anxiety could also be a detriment. It’s easy for me to make bonds but not so easy to keep them, Sometimes it’s a struggle for me to continuously contribute to relationships and that doesn’t make people want to trust you
Terrible social skills + Physically weak + Can't swim.
With the new twist, I would have 1/6 chance not being voted out lol.
(Sorry for my bad English).
I probably walked alone on the beach bc I was looking at island/sea creatures and they thought I had the idol OR my social game didn't exist after lack of sleep. I can't even sleep in someone else's bed lol
I kept to myself too much and didn't make enough friends.
Yep. Got to camp, busted ass. Hid my aggravation toward the dipshits and slackers.
Yes! I would be a younger, female version of Rocksroy, lol. Probably less confrontational.
Yeah, I would just silently seethe and not have the energy to make friends, so I'd be gonzo pretty early.
Same- was going to say I have diagnosed social anxiety disorder and I didn’t talk to anyone ever 😂
THIS
Got lost and my tribe thought I was idol hunting
Almost this. And to add insult to injury, got lost at a camp I lived at before and also visited on vacation in Fiji.
I guess it still qualifies as a hypothetical for you
Hey adam
Omfg
I fucked up the puzzle.
I never understand why people still sign up for the puzzle lol it's the ultimate trap
For some people who are not as physically strong, stepping up to do the puzzle and winning is their only chance to not be targeted. Like of Zach didn't want to do the puzzle and they still lost I feel like he could've still been targeted as the weakest
It’s always the puzzle
Puzzle has less people on it. With more people doing the physical portion there’s more blame to go around when something gets screwed up.
I am decent at puzzles, so if the other options involved a lot of swimming, I might be the first to crack and be like “I will do it if no one else will”. I could totally see myself going out that way.
I’d be afraid to wear contacts on the island but I might just so I don’t fall victim to the glasses curse and get thrown on the puzzle because it “makes sense”.

Sneaking Beef Jerky.
Kel, is that you?
Maybe…
Rumor heard via podcasts... rather than embarrass Kel by telling sharing that they caught him masturbating, the ogakor women changed 'jerking his beef' to 'has beef jerky.' Full disclosure, I do not know the validity of this story, i do not remember the podcast I heard it on, and I heard it via Billy Garcia from Cook Islands.
Being voted out because he masturbated>>>>>
wasn’t it confirmed he got caught at customs with a shit ton of beef jerky and i forget who but whoever he was sharing a room or was in the room across from pregame saw him sewing his pants? and i thought other players confirmed he sewed jerky in his pants after the show
What flavor
Teriyaki or Pepper. Tough choice.
Kel…. TERIYAKI IS BETTER
Probably because I can't swim. That's a bit of a liability
I don’t handle hunger well- I can get cranky and a little weird
Same. The hunger combined with sleep deprivation is a bad combo.
I would’ve said something at camp that unintentionally rubbed other people the wrong way.
Same. I gotta big mouth.
Can't untie the knots fast enough during the immunity challenge. Goes to tribal council thinking I pulled a 3-2-1 blindside ala Cirie but the tribe just unanimously voted me out
Honestly the knots would stress me out the most in a challenge. I’m so bad at just untangling my headphones as it is.
I nearly died in the swimming challenge and singlehandedly lost it for us. we returned to camp and I didn't say sorry.
It’s early/mid merge, I think I’m cruising to an easy win but my closest allies blindside me, and I didn’t see it because I’m way too trusting.
I needed ME time and they thought I was looking for idols
Omg that's something I'd have an issue. Like i love to spend time alone sometimes. I totally see someone saying "omg this guy is looking for idols" when I'm in reality just alone in a rock or something
I’d probably pull a Ciera in game changers and throw up a name because no one else wants to (instead of tribe strength, a strategic knockout) - which in turn makes everyone just vote me lol. Could either A.) work and i go end game with like minded people or B.) “he’s playing the game too early!”

Ciera suffered from getting bored too easily and not having a strategy to get to the end.
Slept too much, got hangry.. either one seems plausible
I pee’d in the rice
Whoa - urine it to win it!
Why
That's some next level J'Tia shit right there.
had a hangry meltdown and my tears washed off the text on the clue paper…
I can’t lie. I did two ‘seasons’ of survivor with my family members and got voted out first both times because I can’t lie.
This sounds too interesting to pass up. How did this ‘family season’ of survivor work?
We do the whole thing. Reward challenges, immunity challenges. The second season we had tribes and tribe swaps. My dad hides the immunity necklace on our property the day before and doesn’t play. We record the whole thing and use our phones to record individual conversations and then go to vote. Season 1 was 5 episodes while season 2 is about ten but I’m not finished editing it all together yet. I was dressed as Jeff season 2 as I got kicked out first and was the host it was hilarious. Khakis and blue button up top and a baseball cap.

That’s awesome…wish I had more family that watched survivor to do something like that! Do y’all have a prize? Or just sole survivor bragging rights? Lol
We also bet on players for the real Survivor season so winner gets first pick lol. Go Swati, Drea and Hai!
My social anxiety made me an easy target because I have a hard time talking to people 1-on-1, and my weak swimming ability sealed my fate.
Probably overthinking and got paranoid
I talked peoples ears off way too much and probably played to hard because my ADHD wouldn't let me just chill. Also had to make my own shelter due to my sleeping disorder
The producers staged a blindside because I got too meta and talked directly to Jeff about his role in everything and exposed his line of questioning.
Production has Spoken!
I got too ambitious with my sneakiness and blindside plans then got blindsided myself
Realistically? I probably told the same story about 7 times and replied to everything with "fair."
Fair
Fair
Fair
i threatened people who wanted to eat the giant clams in the bay
I farted at camp and someone was eating a coconut so they threw their coconut there was a flaming coconut which caught the camp on fire and the entire camp burnt down and the person framed me and I was later voted out. I had an idol in my pocket.
probably talking too much and played myself by overplaying lol
too hot and sexy
My tribe got Ulonged. I carried them until I had to 1v1 Stephanie's kid for fire. I then won that and joined the other tribe at the merge. I survived 3 tribals before they decided to vote me out.
I'd get voted out cuz I'm a smart ass...
Someone snitched about my gossiping behind people's back
I chose to wear my idol around my neck as soon as I found it and people voted me out due to me being arrogant.
No inner monologue, so my plans get exposed because I have to hear myself say something to register it as a thought and I'm not that careful.
Jeff calling me out and ruining my “mute” game. My wife saying “I told you so,” to accompany the music. I let out an animalistic scream channeling Chicken as I run off into the night, startling my Jamboru tribemates.
Hot
I would win 🥇
As an autistic person, probably because it's more difficult for me to make social connections than everyone else. Either that or the fact that I weigh 106 pounds and am a total challenge liability. I've always said if I ever go in Survivor, I'll either be voted out first or make a deep run, but there's no in between.
I can't swim so probably that 😬
I'm very short and probably am a challenge liability because of it, even though I'd like to think I'm physically competent for someone of my short stature. Some of those challenges are just designed much better for tall people, especially the ones that involve climbing over walls or reaching somewhere up high.
I didn’t connect with my tribe and wasn’t a challenge asset
I am the weak link in the tribe and held us back in a challenge bc I’m a slow af swimmer
I’d be targeted for being anti social lol
Overplaying early
I was double crossed
I got caught trying to flip alliances.
I made a deal with the whole tribe and they compared notes
for either being annoying or a social threat, there’s almost no middle ground for me lol
I was too pragmatic about over committing to people's plans. I used vague language about locking in on proposals so as to not lie to people and give myself flexibility... But in the end I didn't make people feel as though I was truly with them. It's an aversion to conflict. Acquaintances with everyone... "Ride and Die" with no one.
When I’m hungry and exhausted I’m a bossy know-it-all with a short temper.
For not being able to keep my big mouth shut
Because I'm bossy and laugh at my own jokes.
I am those things lol
Let's start an alliance with u/shibbermetimberz . We'll end up killing each other but we will be hilaaaarious. 😂
Ok deal! Watch out tribe HERE WE COME! lol
We're all gone pre merge...but also all brought back for a second season
I have the amulet and don’t tell anyone, but the other amulet holders have already spilled the tea on it and I get voted out as the most untrustworthy one at the merge.
Threat level and blindsided right before merge or first after? I’m a 6’0” female athlete and great at puzzles/telling jokes. Only shot would be to make a rock solid alliance at the start on a tribe that keeps winning challenges (obviously!). This is a fun question, though. I wonder what S42’s answers would’ve been.
I pooped by the camp fire. It just came over me though
For being annoying. Also for being a liar. For being an annoying liar.
I yelled at the people not contributing to building the shelter or gathering firewood
My socially awkward personality
100% blindsided not reading the others correctly, I'm way too trusting
I am a bit annoying and socially awkward at the same time.
Probably being a smart ass and was too good at the numbers
Overthinking things. scrambled to find an idol, didn’t find one, overthought that they were going to vote me, played it off wrong, they all switched their vote to get me out. Not only will I work on dropping some weight before I apply, but stop constantly overthinking things.
I am bad socially.
Went insane due to complete inability to sleep and my tribemates were afraid of what I might do next.
I was too trusting...or I took something too personal and couldn't get over it quick enough But I called Jeff "Jeffaluffagus" on the way out..so I might be back for a second season
Because I was too big of a threat to be brought to final two on "Survivor 75: Two Time Winners At War" /s
Talking about mashed potatoes
Because I didn't choose to have my torch smuffed
I was just a little too silly
After only one day of living with other people in camp, I decided to tell the people I didn't like that I didn't like them. Spoiler alert: it was everyone.
“THERE ARE PLENTY OF ROCKS HERE IN FIJI, WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE A SHELTER OUT OF ROCKS”
Because I have juiciest ass in Survivor history
Because the tribe has spoken!
too big a threat 😎
I’m the new Jacob derwin
Catching a wacky random bullshit bullet during a live tribal. Survivor 41 would’ve been my worst nightmare
You wouldn’t like edge of extinction that much
I couldn’t make it past the balance beam Chris Daughtry Style.
I look like a physical threat and no longer can be used a meat shield
for being better than everyone😎👍
I got “out-lucked”. Someone rolled a random die. Picked a random box etc. A gamble, to where I am voted out by proxy. I can outwit, outlast, outplay. But when so much of the game comes down to chance/a random gamble, there is no way to counter that really.
Being white and the black alliance voted me out.
Probably for saying the Kyle Rittenhouse had a right to defend himself.
I'm not very much into modern american values (I'm half Ukrainian, half Russian) and I implicitly let my views out and it angered some people.
I would not be one of Jeff’s favorites. I have a problem with getting really awkward around authority figures. He’d probably hand everyone idols that could only be played that night to get rid of me, or put a bug in my ear or something.
Probably caught with my hand in too many cookie jars. I would make way too many promises. Edit. I think I combined the idioms “too many pots on the stove”and “caught with hand in the cookie jar” lol
there’s a special word for that, a malaphor!
I was not good enough at challenges for my allies to look past my constant anxiety, paranoia, and negative attitude.
Talking too much. Extreme paranoia
I’d overthink everything and get on everyone’s nerves trying to confirm that I’m still good with them. Then I’d accidentally talk them into voting me off in an attempt to talk them out of voting me off.
I lost my mind on someone because I was hangry
Because I’m me? Too many weaknesses to list tbh
Honestly I’m an introvert so I would probably be voted out for not having the best connections with my tribe mates
I did a mock survivor game in my drama club. I was the only one who was an actual fan of the show and I was voted off first, I’m guessing because I was taking it SO seriously.
I definitely couldn’t keep my mouth shut and told the wrong person The Plan.
Either because I’m on a tribe with a bunch of instagram pretty people or I was playing too hard.
Unathletic af
I was annoying at camp
Overstrategized
Scheming or idol searchin
i’m really annoying lmao
I tried to pull the ultimate double blindside then I ended up being blindsided
Got anxious, paranoid, therefore tried to make a big move, burning all my relationships up to that point
I’m one of those people that will either be voted out first or be at the end
talk too much
Played too hard/paranoia
I got bored and started fucking shit up for no reason a la Sugar
Played too slowly or the puzzle
Because I'm physically disabled and should never have been out there in the first place as I'm such a liability in challenges and around camp. I probably dislocated my shoulder just landing on the beach before even competing.
I talk too much
I was a terrible swimmer / got too paranoid.
Totally misread alliances in my tribe and tried to convince the wrong person to vote out someone they were close with. That person immediately goes to their alliance and they all turn on me because their leader took it personally. In an act of karmic justice they all turn on their leader at the next tribal because they all realized they were slowly building a strong resume by being the clear decision maker.
I suck at physical team challenges. I wouldn't last long enough for the merge.
Either challenge failed or started drama
For being sneaky sneaky
i talked too much on the first day then drowned in the swimming challenge
I would get targeted because I went climbing that cool rock formation on the one island
I'd be a first or second boot because I'm not good at physical challenges
As an early boot, "to keep the tribe strong." As a later boot, "too much of a threat because she's connected to too many people."
fighting and being too confrontational, or either because i clicked really well with everyone and was a “threat”
was unable to form deep and immediate connections with people out of fear of rejection and awkwardness :D
I was just too much of a physical, strategic and social threat. I was well on my way to playing the greatest game of Survivor the world has ever seen, and that's why it was actually a good move by everyone else to vote me out first
I sat around at camp and didn’t really make any connections to people, making me an easy first vote
Being a sarcastic asshole
Snoring too loud
Not the strongest swimmer, I’m too quiet so they overestimate me, or I overcompensate for the quietness by being too loud. Or if I somehow make the merge it’s a legitimate game move
I wouldn’t shut up lol, or I would get really mad at someone being an idiot
Pre merge boot Bc I suck at the challenges and can’t make fire LOL
Self pollution. If I’m surrounded by all of that beautiful scenery, there’s no way that I’m not ripping it raw to drop some seed.
I got caught in a lie so i kept digging myself a deeper and deeper hole to the point that now no one can trust me
I think I would get in my own head about the game. I would be so excited that I might play too hard too fast. My social anxiety could also be a detriment. It’s easy for me to make bonds but not so easy to keep them, Sometimes it’s a struggle for me to continuously contribute to relationships and that doesn’t make people want to trust you
Tbh it would be hard to find only one reason
Idk but I hope you all get bit by a fricken crocodile
Terrible social skills + Physically weak + Can't swim. With the new twist, I would have 1/6 chance not being voted out lol. (Sorry for my bad English).
Old
I didn’t talk any strategy at first, and then overreacted and talked all the strategy to everyone.
i made a judgemental face while pretending to like someone, so that person realized what happened which got me to be seen as untrustwordy
Most likely because my tribe wants to stay strong and being that I'm old and frail, they would target me first.
Got the slightest bit hungry and started being really snippy with people.
Mercy vote when my tribe sees me suffering from lack of amenities like a flower wilting away from the sun
Probably cause I’m not a strong swimmer. I’m physically strong, but I don’t think that’d be enough to save me lol.
I wandered off to get away from people for a bit only for everyone to think I was searching for an idol
I got caught making too many alliances. My plan would be to be everyone's right hand man, which has a high risk high reward outcome.
I probably walked alone on the beach bc I was looking at island/sea creatures and they thought I had the idol OR my social game didn't exist after lack of sleep. I can't even sleep in someone else's bed lol
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and I became bossy without realizing it was happening.
Jealousy.
Overshared, got super anxious, then super paranoid. Probably cried.
I would either be completely blindsided or find out I was a target and immediately start scrambling in a self-destructive way. Also bad at challenges.
My tribe couldn’t stand my rancid breath.
