HLS Grad who won Survivor
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 17th, 2013 10:08 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state Anyone else here still watch Survivor? I mostly watch it because my wife is a big fan, but this season was actually interesting and a skinny and nerdy recent HLS grad won the whole damn thing.
Best part is what he wants to do now:
"The great thing, or one of many great things, about winning Survivor is that now I kind of have this safety net where I am not—there is no urgency for me to run off and get some high-paying miserable law job," Cochran told Reality TV World. "I can experiment with different types of writing. I think I'm a good writer, you know?" |

Date: May 17th, 2013 10:30 AM Author: know-it-all honey-headed sandwich den yeah I watched it, also mostly because my wife watches it
probably some sad commentary on our culture that we make a sport out of who can engage in the best lying sociopathic behavior
other thoughts-
how long after the taping ended was the reveal that he won - Brenda seemed really pregnant, I got to think they put them through pre show physicals and wouldn't let a pregnant chick do the show
which make me think Cochoran sat around for 6-7 months thinking he probably won, but not entirely sure, got to think that would have been weird |

Date: May 17th, 2013 10:34 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state Oh for sure, there's no way Brenda was pregnant when on the show, so it has to be at least 10 months between taping and finale. I think they filmed this past season during the summer of 2012 (I believe they film each season around school breaks to make it easier for people to be on the show - so spring season is filmed during the previous year's summer and fall season is filmed during the previous year's December-January).
Interesting thought about the sociopathic behavior. I mean, it's not quite so simple, in that you have to walk a fine line between being a sociopath, but still human enough that people will want to make you the winner. |

Date: May 17th, 2013 10:51 AM Author: know-it-all honey-headed sandwich den yeah I guess, what did you think of Corchan keeping Dawn instead of Eddie
seems to back your thesis, in that Eddie seemed like less of a threat in the made moves category, but more of a threat in the had some friends on the jury category

Date: May 17th, 2013 10:56 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state At the time I thought it was a dumb move and that she was a bigger threat to win, but the vote clearly vindicates his pick. No doubt Reynold and maybe Malcolm would've voted for Eddie.
Maybe Dawn was an even bigger emotional trainwreck at camp than they made it appear. |

Date: May 17th, 2013 11:01 AM Author: know-it-all honey-headed sandwich den yeah I was thinking it was dumb at the time too,
I guess 99% of what they actually did on the island doesn't make it on the show, so you have no idea
funny that Sherry was such a pawn that she voted for Eddie too, even after the confessional that the one person she didn't want to be at the finals with was Dawn |
|
Date: May 17th, 2013 11:03 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state I think once Dawn and Cochran make it clear they're voting for Eddie, the only move for Sherri is to go along and avoid a tie.
BTW, this has been driving me crazy, but is it just me, or does Reynold look exactly like NYR goalie Lundqvist? |
|
Date: May 17th, 2013 11:07 AM Author: know-it-all honey-headed sandwich den refresh me on the rules, what happens in a tie break?
they revote without those named, so it'd be 1-1, what would happen then?
I just had to google image search Lundqvist? yeah they sort of look similar |
|
Date: May 17th, 2013 11:12 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state I think it varies by season... sometimes they build fire, sometimes they make everyone draw stones (even those that didn't get votes)... they never tell you what the rules are, so you only find out if there's an actual tie or the players talk about it.

Date: May 17th, 2013 11:18 AM Author: know-it-all honey-headed sandwich den so she just went along to avoid the unknown? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2258438&forum_id=2#23216322) |
|
Date: May 17th, 2013 11:22 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state I think they know the rules, but the rules aren't spelled out for us at home unless necessary.
So yeah, if it was the draw stones rule this season, she had to avoid a tie to be safe. |

Date: May 17th, 2013 10:57 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state Sorry bro, it was last Sunday, so thought it was safe. Think I should change the thread title? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2258438&forum_id=2#23216265) |

Date: May 17th, 2013 11:07 AM Author: rough-skinned glassy ratface dingle berry W/e. I'm just angry bc I like survivor but prefer to watch the seasons all at once after they've all aired. I like Cochran too.
Was this season interesting/good? |
|
Date: May 17th, 2013 11:11 AM Author: Charismatic idiot state Yes, excellent season. Some huge meltdowns and a number of players played great games. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2258438&forum_id=2#23216293) |
