S47 Ep13 Spoilers and Comments (12/11/2024)

[shawn]

Tonight's episode is titled "Bob and Weave" and is two-hours long. It's
also being marketed as Part 1 of the Finale. The episode title is
probably from something Andy says. Teeny confronts him about the vote
and he tells her he decided to flip on the way to TC. If he manages to
sell that lie he deserves to win.
Based off one of the sneak peeks, I think it's a sure thing Teeny will
not win. Showing a player doing a confessional where they say nothing
went the way they thought it would is not something you expect to see
from a winner. It also looks like Rachel is the Tony of S47, not Sue.

I agree Teeny's stock has fallen and Rachel is clearly being positioned
as the most likely winner. And Sue seems a lock to be the 3rd place
zero-vote finalist.

Agreed on all points.

The big mystery for me is where does Andy land? I feel his constant
flip-flopping can't possibly endear him to anyone, but you never know.
I think the only way he can possibly win is he survives to F4, somehow
wins F4 immunity, takes himself to make fire, somehow wins the fire
challenge, then gives an articulate, insightful speech on how he got to
the finals. That's a really big ask. Do I think he can do all that? No.

Andy has been a mystery all season long. I'm still not sure where he
stands with the other players. Rachel has clearly been burned by him a
few times but how would she vote if she was on the jury and he was in
the final three? What about the remaining players and Andy? I'm
unclear on where they stand on his game play. Yet I think I have a
good idea of where they stand on everyone else.

Andy's pretty well burned the entire jury except for maybe Gabe and
Kyle. I could see Sam voting for Andy at the end as long as Rachel and
Gen are not F3. Sam's been very tolerant with Andy and appears to be
true to his word to a large extent.

So who wins if the final three is Gen, Andy and Sue? My initial thought
was Gen, but I wonder if there is enough bad will toward both Andy and
Gen that Sue could somehow back into a win in that case?

Makes me sad that after tonight Sue's the only one still in the game of
those three.

Opposite here. I didn't like either Andy or Gen and am glad they are
both gone.

I don’t have to like them as people to admire their game play.

That's a valid point, but in this case I can't really say I admire their
game play. Andy flip-flopped constantly and seemed to be playing to the
cameras more than executing a well-thought out strategy. His childlike
giddiness was offputting, and I got the clear impression that none of
the other players really respected him all that much.

As for Genevieve, she made a couple of dramatic but sloppily executed
moves and ultimately never seemed to have a lot of respect from the
other players. She never struck me as being a consistently strategic
player, and her signature move of getting rid of Sol probably caused her
more ultimate harm than good.

I'm guessing that the show is Survivor given that the other group he's
posting to is alt.tv.survivor. Also, there aren't that many shows on air
that have been running 47 seasons....
