It's like saying Rob C is stupid for not getting taken to the final 2 with Jenna

Rob C IS stupid for not getting taken to the final 2 with Jenna. The only reason she didn't take him is because waaaaaay back at the Final 6, he told her that he was considering keeping her around as a goat because he knew he could beat her.

The idols expire at F5. They screwed up in Cook Islands with it, having a F3 but also having the idol usable at F4, meaning Yul had an automatic ticket to the F3. And with 2 idols in the game, they cannot have it expire at F4 for the simple reason that you could have 3 people immune at that TC and someone could be kicked out of the game without a vote.

Now that would be some good tv

Are the idols allowed to be played during the final 4? I think they were at one time but that was before the whole Final 3 thing. If it couldnt be played at the final 4 then I think it was sorta a dumb move. He had 2 chances to win an immunity Challenge. If I was James I would have taken the risk that I would at least win one challenge. But even James admitted that he rolled the dice too many times. If it worked, and he didnt play the idols and wsnt voted off, Everyone...

So after watching 14+ seasons of survivor, some people think that the strongest, most athletic player, who had 2 IIs, and who worked hardest in camp, and who had very few enemies, and who is sympathetic choice for $1 million, wasn't dumb not to see a very possible blindside coming? That it wasn't obviously better to play the II and figure that either he would win...

The best players in Survivor are the ones who endlessly run each player's scenario and put themselves into the other survivors' position in relation to the all remaining players and also the jury. If James had done this, it would have been easy to see that more than one player would gain an advantage by voting him out, and also that there were limited opportunities to do it cleanly. For example, when PG and Erik are gone, it would be far too difficult for the others to vote him (and...

I don't see James as greedy. He was all about keeping the TEAM together. James thought he was in an alliance and was safe. So far his core group had been true to him so why should he think anything had changed? I don't recall anyone calling him an idiot for not playing the idol either of the past two weeks. If he was an idiot for not playing it last week then he was an idiot for not playing it for the...

I think it's funny because had James used his idol and recieved no votes he would have been bashed as well.

If he had just one Idol, that might be a valid point, but with TWO of them, he would still have a huge advantage, have survived another round, AND taken out an enemy of his. He only gets a couple more chances to play it, and if he can skip to that point, he should make it happen.

I doubt it, and if he was so what - - - it would still have been a good move. I thought he was stupid two weeks ago when he was obviously feeling the heat...he felt then that he had come close to getting the boot. I would have played it then. And now, why start thinking you're safe all of a sudden? I would have been trying my best to win the...

It was a dumb move on his part not using the idols, his dumbest move though was not alligning with JR or PG both of which would have alligned and stayed loyal to him. He was a loner and he lost.

I didn't see anything Janes did that I would considere arrogant. Who wouldn't laugh at Jamie and PG? james was amazingly humble when you consider he did the majority of work there but never once did they show him complaining about that. Of course, we only see a small bit of what really happens and so I immagine we miss a lot of people telling PG what a pitiful person she is.

I don't think James was dumb for holding on to his idols, but just the fact that he was so arrogant and laughed at Jaime, PG, and Zhan Hu and then went out trusting his tribe and losing in IMMUNITY challenges and calling them losers, he deserves to be laughed at for being blindsided like a moron

OH WOW I never even thought of if James gave his idols away after leaving. I definitely would. In fact, I'd give my idols to PG right then and there in front of everybody before leaving. Take that Fei Long!

I'm so fucking sick of hearing how James was so dumb for not using the idols...

How on God's green earth was he supposed to know that he was getting BLINDSIDED!!!!

THATS WHY IT'S CALLED BLINDSIDED BECUASE HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE SEEN IT COMING.

As far as he was concerned, he had a 5 person alliance taht constantly reassured him that they were going to the final 5, and final 4.

PG was the most aggravating player in the game and was...
