Eric says you have to be a psychopath and look at people as chess pieces and not as human beings to win.
I've been saying that for 15 seasons. Even Rob C. acknowledged that the traits that make you excel at life can be the same traits that make you suck at Survivor.
Make friends later. People in this game are tissue to be used and discarded (in a way that still enables them to vote for you in the final TC).The best schemer and plotters tend to be those who most come off as reptilian in real life. Hasn't anyone here ever bluffed in Poker?
Whom you like, whom your "friends" are and whom you want to have sex with are completely and totally irrelevant unless you are on the jury, and then you can vote however you want. All that ultimately matters is how you get you to the final 2, against your ideal final 2 partners, against the the ideal jury composition. Make friends and apologize if you need to later, or laugh in their faces all the way to the bank, but emotional voting is the cardinal sin of this game (unless you are on the jury.) You just have to discard people like tissue in a way that makes them still willing to vote for you even as the lesser of evils. It reminds me of the meaning of diplomacy. "Telling someone to 'go to hell' in such a way that makes them look forward to the trip."
No, I meant over all the seasons there are examples.More than one juror has stated that if they'd known what they saw on television they would have switched their vote, even if they had to grit their teeth to do it.Are you meaning for this season..
