I think they should tell the contestants that no advantages will be explicitly bid upon. And then you hide some advantages in some of the items. You could roll up a little scroll inside the napkin for a food item. Hide a note in the shower for whomever buys that. I think these should be clues that they find, not advantages themselves.

The 2017 auction was insane. Most of them bid $500 on a single item, several of them even gambled $500 on food items lol.

Jeff presents a sealed envelope at the start of the auction. After it is purchased, the buyer has the opportunity to trade if for another sealed envelope. Jeff explains that one has an advantage and one has a disadvantage and the envelope must remained sealed until they return to camp. At the end of the auction, he puts the second envelope up for bid, forcing players to scramble to decide if it is worth the risk of a 50/50 chance for an advantage or disadvantage.

Well I think the "just food"-way is good. You don´t have to have advantages, letters, clues etc. Strategically you can do a lot with that, as seen in previous seasons. For example: if you dispense of your food, everyone else gets something. Or have someone divide the food between everyone. There are enough twists and turns that can work against you or in your favor. Also I think it is very important to never repeat a twist. Just do the auction every 3 seasons and always think of a new twist, so no one can predict what will happen (like shirin with the 20-dollar bid for the letters). That way, neither the fans at home nor the contestants have a clue what´s coming, so everyone can enjoy the Survivor Auction again. It is just too good, to not include in the game.

@@Paddyvertex Carter was screwed at the auction, if he were to keep his baked potato, he would be perceived as selfish and could've been an easy target like John in Samoa, if he were (and did) take the bag of rice and beans, it would be seen as a social play and paints a target on him.

The one Australian auction where the advantage/clue was hidden in the candy jar made auctions exciting and the solution to waiting for an advantage to show up. If the twist was there's no clear way to know when the advantage would show up, people who keep waiting will be punished and those we dared to just spend the money could get an advantage or a booby trap.

The fix is obviously to just remove advantages from the auction. That's when it was purely a fun concept and that's when it worked.

I have the solution, make the advantage the first bidding BUT limit the amount to $250, this way even if the majority of people bet they still have money left to get food. They enjoy it, we enjoy it!

If they ever bring the auction back, Jeff should just say upfront that there is no advantage for sale, but secretly they’ve hidden one in one of the food rewards. As for the letters from home, give some extra incentive for whoever bids on the letters first (a video message in addition to the letter, a promised visit from their loved one in person, additional loved ones letters, etc) that way people will actually bid on the letters and then they can still have anyone else buy their letter for the same price, they just wouldn’t get the additional reward for bidding on it first.

I think it was totally metaphoric of the game/show evolving from its basic premise. You had someone who studied the game so thoroughly it broke the auction never to return. Sad and impressive

Her husband's words finally getting through her head and Taj grabbing Jeff and yelling 'SEE YOU BACK AT THE CAMP!!!' is still one of my all time favourite Survivor moments, it's just so pure and sweet. Raw joy you can feel through the screen, over a decade in the future. I do really hope they bring it back, because it was the highlight of a lot of seasons imo, but I understand they got sick of people meta-ing the hell out of it. Imo if they want people to stop being meta nerds about it, they should just elimminate the loved one's letters/advantages. Stick to food, creature comforts, mosquito nets, etc etc (and make it clear when the auction starts that there will be no advantages) this way people can just have some fun and have a little break from the game while enjoying some tasty stuff. Or jars of live crabs. Either way.

If they want to add the auction back maybe they should say there will be an advantage for sale in the auction but you have to have purchased an item already in the auction to bid for it

The Tocantins auction episode is probably my all time fav episode of any season. Really just the scene where she gets the phone and then Jeff has to point out what he said at the end and then her iconic reaction.. but especially when she was able to give everyone their visits it was just nice to see everyone happy at the same time for once lmao

In the Australian version of Survivor (not the season, the Aussie spin-off), they once had an auction with a mini challange beforehand. Everyone had two minutes to dig for white shells in a pit which ended up being their currency for the auction. In addition, there was a red shell that was essentially a veto--play it and you get the item instantly. The red shell went to an older woman who was very well liked. The auction proceeds as normal until the host offers a visit from a loved one (I feel like it was announced as the final item). Immediately everyone starts giving the older woman all their spare shells, and she tearfully reveals she had the red shell the whole time. It was a very sweet, heart-warming moment.

i think itd be cool if they maybe hid an advantage on the plate of one of the food items. i mean it adds a new layer onto the auction. also maybe make it so someone has the option to keep their letter or give everyone else theirs.

At the time, I thought it was a clever strategic move. But the fallout was instantaneous and it just goes to show that strategy isn't enough.

As soon as people figured out that they could game the system, they broke it. All Jeff had to do for the final auction is: 1. Not offer up any other family letter (or set the price at all your $$) and 2. Tease, but don't offer up an advantage. Throw the players for a loop thinking A will happen, but B does instead. It will certainly keep the game more interesting.

I cried multiple times in this. Survivor has been such a long lasting thing in my life that I’ve forgotten so many memorable moments.

I would say, keep an advantage in the auction, but do it as a choice. For example. Whoever wins the bid, has an option of three hidden items. Once is an advantage (such as HII clue, challenge advantage, etc), one is nothing, and the third is a disadvantage (such as lose a vote, penalty vote at next tribal, sit out of next immunity challenge, etc). That way yes there is still the excitement of the advantage, but more people may be inclined to not risk it and bid on other items instead

I really miss the auction, a lot of my favourite parts of survivor are now missing. I kind of liked that the auction was 80% just them getting to have a “break” and it was kind of enjoyable to see the survivors so overjoyed. The bit of strategy and smart bidding was only part of it, now like 95% of the entire game is strategy which isn’t my favourite bit. I’d love to see it come back where everything is covered and you only get vague clues about what’s under it. Like “comfort” which could be a tarp or it could be a letter and they still do item swaps like you won A but would you like to accept B? And maybe there is no obvious advantage won but it’s hidden inside an item. Or you bid on an advantage but it turns out it’s only half and someone else won the other half and you have to figure out who and work together. It would lead to a lot of bidding wars I feel like, especially if they brought it back after that season had aired so it was a known thing.

Love that this video popped up on my feed like 2 days before Jeff actually brought it back. I liked the changes as it focused on food rather than saving for an unknown prize and let people really enjoy themselves…or end up with giant fish eyes

Take me back!!!! I love Survivor 1 but I didn't manage to watch it until years after it aired...the 2nd and 3rd seaons however; I was OBSESSED! These are such sweetly nostalgic times. Crazy to think that 9/11 happened between these two seasons and the world changed forever.

They need to bring the auction back!! Even if it’s just watching people eat, it’s still so interesting😂

I actually miss this. I can't remember, but I think they got rid of the fallen comrades' walk as well to save time. I wish they would go back to some of this old stuff. Like separate the Immunity challenges and the reward challenges again. Show more of the surviving part, instead of barely showing it and just showing the strategy "scrambling" part. I'd also like to see what the other tribes are doing on their nights off of the immunity challenges when they win. Or show more of what they do when the other tribes win rewards and the others don't instead of just showing what they are doing while they win. Stuff like that.

This was well written. I watched survivor as a kid. Only looked forward to the auctions. Thanks for the memories.

I think if they bring the auction back they should have a reward challenge for money so depending on how you did in that challenge that how much you would get. This would fix the problem with everyone waiting for a advantage and is also more fun :)

The way I would reintroduce the auction would be as a two-phase challenge. Picture the scene: A piggy bank is received in tree mail. The challenge exploits the double meaning of this, because Survivors will be rolling around in the mud like pigs, foraging for gold coins to put in their piggy banks. At this stage, it's not revealed to them what the coins are for. After this mud fest, Jeff announces that the coins will be used to bid on items at the auction. Because people can spend the money that they've earned, everyone will have different amounts to spend, and this would eliminate holding on to everything to instantly win an advantage. Another idea: Have an auction with a number of items with "keep what you bought or trade it for something to benefit others" dilemmas. Maybe have Jeff say that the letters from home will "only be sold to one person", deceptively worded so that the person who wins doesn't realise that they're gaining custody of everyone's letters, with the option of selling others their letters, giving them out for free, or using them as bargaining chips. After a number of these "exposing your gameplay" items, the final item up for bids can be immunity, immediately followed by a snap tribal council. Emotions will be raw, and reasons to vote people out will be rife based on their auction conduct.

I think an easy fix is have loved letters and the clue as hidden items that can’t be switched out and put them somewhere that isn’t the very first or the very last thing bought. That way players won’t know if it’s food or an advantage and will buy it in hopes of getting it. Plus with the loved letters it prevents players from only paying $20 for it

Solid video topic man!

I have NO IDEA why i found this so fascinating but props.

I have two memories from the auction on the first season of finnish version of Expedition Robinson. (back when we used that name instead of survivor). They had an auction This one really old man (If I remember correctly he was in his seventies) won a motorcycle. the motorcycle was brought back to their casmp and he was cruising along the beach with it and the younger cast was mad jealous. (He won the motorcycle to bring back home but I loved that he got to cruise around with it while still playing the game) the other thing that happened was that this one dude bought a slingshot and marbles. He bought it as a souvenier to bring back home to his kid so he never even used it becouse he was worried he would lose the marbles. Turns out later in the episode that the immunity challenge was a slingshot challenge and he would've had an advantage if he had decided to practice using it

You can tie advantages in the game with a moral dilemma: choose to either receive it or burn it for food for the entire tribe. You can also start the auction with an advantage then proceed to offer a bigger advantage down the line.

The Eddie George auction was my favorite. It was wholesome, and it rolled into a great moment for everyone and their families

I like the idea of hiding advantages in the other items. for example, if someone wins a plate of food, once the food is gone there will be an advantage written on the plate. This will encourage bidding on all the items

The lack of Kat in this video is disgraceful XD One World's auction was lowkey iconic (Probably the only iconic moment outside of the men sending themselves to tribal for like no reason)

Honestly, even when for the "wrong" reasons, Kat and Kim MADE One World. Kim for her strategic/social powerhouse gameplay, and Kat for being the lovable ditz we all love. I watch that season for purely Kim, Kat, and Tarzan. Everyone else I've essentially forgotten about or actively try to (Colton is in that second category)

This was hands down my favorite part of the show every year and I miss it 😢

I don’t see people giving Matty enough credit for the Gabon auction. He leaves with two and a half cookies and gets none of the blame for the fall-out. Underrated Survivor play 👑

Also Philippines has an auction?!?

I've always thought that they could bring it back if Jeff was willing to lie to the survivors. He just needs to open the auction with "The first item up for bid is the *only* advantage item in this auction" and then they can weed out the people clamoring for the advantage... and then in a twist at the end of the auction he can say... "Actually, I need to admit something- I lied to you all earlier. THIS item is also an advantage"

He doesn’t even need to say “I lied” he could say “that was the only advantage. This is the only idol.”

so early I don't even know what to comment! But I really wish the auction didn't get broken and they would bring it back in some sort

Fav vid nice job 👍

I met Big Tom after Africa. He was such a nice guy. He said the first question people always asked him was something about Ethan 😆

In order to fix this they need to take some ideas from Australian Survivor. If you look at the 2017 and 2018 season they had the table where you took yourself out of the auction but won everything that was up for bid, hid an advantage/clue in one of the items up for bid, and even had an overnight stay somewhere outside of camp as an item to bid on

Another idea for the auction's return is to hold it right before the immunity event and the bid is a delayed start in the immunity event in 5 sec increments. (ie 5, 10 , 15) So advantages come with a real cost.

I’d love to see a video about the most iconic/funnies one liners from the show!

It's back, baby!!

“Russell is finding all the idols without clues anyway.” What about the clue he got where it was literally phone video with a person lifting a rock showing him exactly where it was? He had plenty of help finding that one.

I miss old survivor. No more auction, no more rites of passage, no more final tribal speeches, no more intros with all the players and names.

great video

great videos; i am addicted

In order to bid on the advantage, you must win at least one previous item. Raises the stakes for all items, plus everyone gets (hopefully) yummy food!

The birth, life, death, and rebirth of the auction.

i hope they would bring Survivor Auction back. great video by the way. 👍👍

Season 30 has a special place in my heart because it was the first season I watched of survivor, but I hate that it caused all the survivor auctions to never return.

Best survivor break down on the YT

"cheap-o deep-o's" is my least favorite scene of Survivor and least favorite quote I've ever heard in my entire life

The auction solution is simplicity itself. Put the advantage as the first item. Set the price at *ALL* your money. Then have all the players who bid draw rocks with numbers. Have the proper number of advantages equal to the players. Each advantage is for one specific *_tribal council._* If the person is voted out before their advantage kicks in, whoops! Then after all the advantage players are finished, put in some ridiculous items worthy of a reward victory. Then have the last item be for the person who has the most money remaining... Have their money increase by a significant amount each day that they remain on the island before being voted out. Put in strategies that reward and penalize for saving money as well as spending it. Always keep the players guessing.

I got a few ideas on how they can bring back the auction and fix that advantage situation... - Put the advantage in one of the love letters. Whoever is lucky gets it. If it's buying your Love One for the night, that one also gives the person that bought it a present. Some of the presents are nice and cute while one of them gives them an advantage. - Make the disgusting and creepy items more useful by putting the advantage clue in those items. It will turn those away. So by the time the last item in the auction turns out to be food instead of an advantage, that would shock those that were expecting to see an advantage at some point in the auction. And probably get creeped out when the realise that the clue turns out to be in the unappealing item they didn't bought. - Use the two or three mystery items trade like in Amazon, however one of the items turns out to be the advantage clue. If the person either traded or not and what they didn't kept turns out to be that advantage - tough luck! It won't be available for the remainder of that auction. Add in a rule so that only one person can do the trade, no-one else can bid on the other mystery items before or after that person bougth it and either traded or not. - Make it so only one advantage is available in the auction. Jeff announces at a certain point in the auction about the availability of the advantage in the auction. If Jeff saids that there is no more advantages at this point in the auction, it lets the survivors know that one of the items that was listed previously in that auction turns out to actually have the advantage clue in it. Jeff can also bluff and lie at that point too if the advantage is listed as an item after Jeff makes that announcement. Jeff doesn't need to do this every single time a new item shows up. You can combine this with putting the advantage clue in the disgusting and creepy items suggestion or the two or three mystery items scenario. - And a last thing to note. Add a rule so that each survivor player must buy at least one thing from the auction. If the survivor player buys at least one item, any money they have at the end of the auction is their's to keep. If the survivor player doesn't buy a single thing at the end of the auction, they must return the money to Jeff. If the survivor player decides to forefit the auction due to lack of an advantage on offer and are not looking to buy an item or food - they do the same thing as a survivor player does when they don't buy anything and actually leaves the auction while it's still going. Keeps the flow of the game going, and they don't know that Jeff bluffed.

I think it would be best if advantages were announced as covered items, but some food items, letters from home, and bad items would also be covered items as well. That would be great television to see players posibly bidding $500 on covered items at only the chance of getting an advantage. It would tempt some to save their money for the safer option for the non-covered food items.

i think a potential solution to the auction would be to just not have an advantage. it gets players back on their toes, setting an example that there may not always be an advantage.

Great video. On an unrelated note, your thumbnail red border looks like the the red line you get under a video if you've watched it on phone so needless to say I was a very confused idiot for like a minute considering whether I have serious lapses in memory

Nothing will ever beat the Cook Islands auction though ❤

Is the auction in Philippines the only one where everyone got to eat? (even Abi got to eat and she only bought an advantage)

i miss the Auction. we need it back along with the Mixer challenge (Amazon and All Stars, you know the one). give these gamebots 2 more breaks...i wanna remember the pre jurors

These were my favorite. I wish they would come back.

And now it’s back!!

I think they should bring back the survivor auction, but make it an entirely blind auction. Nothing they bid on is revealed until after it's bought. It would be interesting.

They should just remove the advantage imo. I like what they did with sending someone back to camp where they could get a secret advantage. Also they could do without the love letters. It would be cool to see them incorporate more survival items as well since that only happened once.
