Top 10 Dumbest Survivor Moves
Definitely the dumbest move I've ever seen if you're trying to win. Was he hoping to get a date out of it or something? Actually, when you consider that he was the only guy left with four girls heavily manipulating the direction of the game, it might have been a smart move - just to keep what little bit of sanity he had left.
Why would he do that?! He could have made it to the final four! If he had won the final four challenge, he would have won! But no, he was so gullible and gave up his immunity.
One of the dumbest moves out there. Definitely not as dumb as Varner in The Outback or Tyson in Season 20, but dumber than the rest of the moves out there.
I mean, it was Chaos Kass! How stupid do you have to be to bring Tony, the guy who everyone didn't hate?
Woo could have won 1 million dollars. Instead, he made one of the greatest winners' road to victory even easier.
Oop, play an idol just to be safe! If you don't feel like you need it, play it anyway because plans change in this game.
He thought a majority would be united.
If you get voted out with 2 hidden immunity idols, even if you are confident, keep one and play one.
I like sending letters to my friends, but they're not villains or in competition with me over $1 million.
He was actually happy that Tina won.
Among the five very obvious overrated dumb moves, this was the dumbest of them all. You really need to understand the circumstances leading up to this. While JT's and Erik's moves were bad and made little sense, NOTHING about Tyson's move made sense at all.
First of all, that would get yourself voted out, and it also gets your alliance voted out. He got lucky that Rob Mariano is still friends with him.
That was a very bad move, and not only did he cost himself the show, but he also cost Boston Rob his game too.
And then he goes out with a REAL idol.
Ian jumped off the pole so Katie could make the final two???
This was a bad move but not as bad as Erik's. At least Brandon gave it to someone who voted with him. What makes these moves hard to justify is that both players were manipulated by legends. The difference is that Brandon was played by Coach, who had been truthful up to that point since they were in an alliance. Erik, on the other hand, was convinced by Cirie, who wasn't even aligned with him, to give up his immunity necklace. If Erik were a smart fan, he would have known that he, Cirie, and Natalie would have formed a majority, so there was no need to give up the immunity necklace.
The Newcomers
Yeah, that's a perfect way to win "Survivor."
If you're playing the three-year-old's version, that is.
When it comes to overrated dumb moves, aside from the obvious top five, this would be number one because everyone on social media and elsewhere couldn't stop talking about it for a long time. I'm glad that Varner has repaired the situation, and he definitely regrets it. He was trying to save himself, but ironically, he didn't realize he was actually going to stay in the game if he hadn't made that move. Five of the other players, including Zeke, were planning to vote out Ozzy.
Don't listen to Rob if he's trying to get you to vote his way! He is really tricky. Lex should've voted off Amber. As much as I love the Marianos, that was a terrible move.
This was the stupidest game move because everyone on that tribe knew that one of them would be going home, and they all gave up safety.
Colton had an awful strategy. Couldn't he have not found the immunity idol so we could avoid his headache?
Again, you want numbers. If you need to throw the challenge to lose, you can just pick them off after the merge.
Drew: I will throw this immunity challenge. I'm too good of a player.
Later...
Jeff: Drew, the tribe has spoken. (snuffs his torch)
Definitely a way to go up on the Survivor Wall of Shame.
Your biggest rival, Domenick, just played a Legacy Advantage, and you still don't play your idol as an insurance policy? Unbelievable.
Did you REALLY think THAT many people would go along with a split vote? (Actually, they would. In the next episode, everyone but Michael splits the vote between Michael and Libby.)
NaOnka wouldn't have lasted much longer because of how much of a jerk she was. But Purple Kelly had no good reason to quit. Nicaragua is "the season of the quitters," as Holly almost quit too.
You can tell Jeff wasn't happy. Not one bit.
That is just pure stupidity, especially since it was so early in the game. If it were right before the merge, I could understand, but this was just the beginning, and they were only two people ahead.
You needed to keep Russell until the merge. Until merge time, keep him. Rob would have voted Russell out, so that means you had the numbers.
Doesn't seem dumb at first, but they lose like crazy after that.
Flippers automatically get pegged as unreliable and untrustworthy. Why would you ever, EVER do it? This is another reason to believe Cochran isn't NEARLY as good of a player as Probst or Cochran himself would have you believe.
In South Pacific, yes. In Caramoan, no.
I still think Sierra is a game changer. Maybe not as much as Natalie, but definitely a game changer.
I WAS SO MAD! If I were a jury member, that move would prevent me from voting for him!
Bad luck, really. That was a bad decision, girly.
