ENDURANCE: SOLE SURVIVOR

[amplify26]

E1:

An interesting thing is how Max and Trevor were tied in the first Tribal Council. A few votes later, and Max gets eliminated. This initially reminded me of how things worked out in "Knotted Up", but I could see it this way due to Max being a majorthreat.
Layla and Sabrina in the same alliance again...?
Aaron and Jon together in the same alliance, though Jon's loyalty is low. Interesting...
And Brandon isolates himself again. (ep. 4)
Meanwhile, everybody appreciates Jonna! (ep. 4)
Aaron almost gets eliminated, but Trevor gets more votes than him.
TEAM TRIBE SWITCH!
Strangely, it takes six episodes for Chelsea to isolate herself. She had a tight alliance prior to that point.
So many alliances...it's a matter of time before they backstab each other.
Jenna leaves a bit later than she does on E1.
[Sabrina] wins a reward challenge, and "she shares the reward with Layla". This bemuses me, even though the simulator puts them in the same alliance.
Chelsea </3 (episode 8)
All the votes in episode 9 went to 3/4 members of the final two teams on E1. Jon gets eliminated.
Aaron winning a memory challenge?
It takes 10 episodes to eliminate Brandon.
Layla makes it farther than she did on E1, as well as Shane (the first contestant to be eliminated on Endurance)
"Sabrina and Lana bond slightly". HAHA
Jonna and Shane in the finale...interesting, as we have an Endurance Champion and the first one eliminated in the RTS.
And Jonna wins! Like on E1, haha.
"Sabrina votes for Jonna to win. She felt that Jonna had the more balanced game." Hmm...
Aaron gets the fan-favorite.
Sabrina is only #3 on Most Strategic, haha.

E2:

ANNIE AND CALLEY IN THE SAME ALLIANCE? (proof this is a stimulation)
"Keetin and Jacquelynn have a major fight." Too true.
Aww, Christa leaves too soon...
"Scooter and Max have a major fight." Again...
Keetin gets kicked off, and Jacquelynn stays! (episode 2)
How do all the guys keep winning immunity challenges, and how does Jacquelynn avoid elimination?
"Annie and Calley bond slightly."
"The behavior of Jacquelynn is becoming appreciated around camp." Hmm...
"Maryelle and Shep bond a lot." Bryan...
Max votes for Jenna. Wow...
After the merge, Scooter is overwhelmingly eliminated.
Calley wins two challenges!
And somehow, Mike was eliminated before Max.
Maryelle wins a reward challenge, Bryan...
Two of my favorites, Bryan's favorite, and Tyler? (in the final four)
Annie and Calley in the finale, haha...
And by a vote of 5-2, Calley wins!
"Max votes for Annie to win. He liked Annie much more than Calley."
"Shep votes for Calley to win. He felt that Calley deserved to win for winning lots of immunity challenges." Kind of expected...
"Jeff votes for Calley to win.He just liked Calley more." That was not expected, on the other hand.
Tyler as most strategic?

Hawaii:

In what universe would Alex and Nicole be in the same alliance?
"The behavior of Willa is becoming appreciated around camp." Hmm...
Aww...Alex goes out first.
Tom is the next one out, and had to face Chris. Kind of the opposite of the survivor Tom was on E3.
"The behavior of Antonio is rubbing the tribe the wrong way."
"Bryanah and Nicole have a minor fight." More like...multiple minor fights.
How did Demian go out this early?
Chris/Lindi, Willa/Antonio are in the same tribe after the switch.
Votes between Nicole and Bryanah, Nicole is eliminated 5-2.
Aww, Monroe is eliminated too soon...
Similar to E3, everybody tries to eliminate Bryanah, but she survives.
Despite rubbing her band vibes towards everyone, Willa barely survives elimination, with Lindi taking the fall.
With the exception of Bryanah, the other three finalists (Antonio, Willa, and Bjorn) were among the first three teams eliminated.
Willa vs. Bryanah!
Willa wins, 4-3! Kind of surprising, I must say.
"Reece Bors wins the Fan Favorite!" Hehe.
With the exception of Bryanah, most of the prominent contestants of E3 were eliminated relatively early. Maybe it's because their strategies would stick out more.

Tehachapi:

Jonathan is the first one eliminated...strange.
Jeszie is eliminated, while Julie stays. If that happened irl, we could see a major confrontation.
"The behavior of Christopher is rubbing the tribe the wrong way." oh?
Erika + Isaac on the same team = <3 for me.
"Erika and Isaac have a major fight." </3
Kylie and Kendall are killing the challenges! (might be taken out of context due to another Kylie-Kendall pair, haha)
Daniela wins an award challenge and shares it with Michael...
And Kendall wins unanimously...?!

High Sierras:

Yeah @firetruck421, what you said is right on! Unless Cealey wanted to make a "strong girls" alliance with Lilly; then again, we have Darci to contend.
How are Alex and Garret in the same alliance? And Connor and Cameron don't seem to be in the same one.
And Darci is the first out...again. No....
"samburu Tribe Alliance #1 is now a very weak alliance." What did we expect...
Wait...Connor's out too? So that's the original E5 Gray Team which got eliminated. The curse continues, in a way.
I wonder how Cealey and Lilly would work together...
Even though Garret was causing trouble, it's a bit surprising that he evades elimination against Cameron.
Kelsey/Lilly/Taylor alliance = <3
"Kelsey and Taylor bond a lot." And they have six pieces...though I do like their friendship.
How did Garret make it to the merge?
"Taylor and Max win a movie night-out, with an eat-all-you can feast." Haha.
Taylor wins an award challenge and shares it with Kelsey.
How funny that Garret gets eliminated against Taylor...
"Garret votes for Taylor."
Taylor...</3
"Hard Idol" sounds a bit like "Headstrong" on E3.
"Dakota Fisher wins the Fan Favorite!" ?
Garret as most strategic? That has to explain his ability to survive.
