Courtney is one of my all time favorite players. The fact she only got 4 confessionals in HvV is a CRIME.

Courtney is one of my favorite villains. She’s terrible, and I love it. So much fun!
Honestly, respect to Jaime for being smart enough to know when she needed to be creative due to a bad hand she was dealt. It's just a shame that she was essentially playing second-fiddle to the main alliance and was outplayed.
6:50: Jean-Robert is like "Thank God I awoke just in time to take a nap"
Amanda probably would have won if she took Denise instead of Todd but then again Denise had the sympathy vote and Amanda would have taken out everyone in the game including Todd so if the jury didn't want to give it to Denise because she wasn't deserving then Courtney probably would have won by being more charismatic. Amanda was just screwed because she played a great game but she was too afraid to admit to all of her babysitting.

Yeah I think Amanda goes a bit camera-shy at FTC, same thing happened in Micronesia.
Amanda was way more deserving on second watch. She's just one of those girls who's embarrassed to brag about herself so it comes off as untrustworthy
Amanda gets a lot of hate. She is a challenge beast and she had control of the game a lot and made Todd take a back seat. She is not very good at defending her game to the jury and that is what cost her I think. Todd was fantastic but Amanda is a winner to me

Amen.
Amanda doesn't know how to go with the fluidity of the game. Todd switching who should go is actually not a lack of 'confidence', it's the full ownership of having a good guage on shifting group dynamics. No one tells Amanda anything, but they all confide in Todd.

No, this isnt a good point. Without Amandas grounding element to Todd, he goes home. Todds "fluidity" is also known as paranoia. She controlled the entire game with a much needed level head. Go back and watch it again, this take is completely off base and not even true as people like PG, Courtney, and Erik trusted Amanda way more.

I met Todd as 20 then 50 then 150 of us were trying to meet Justin Timberlake on Main Street in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival the year before they filmed this. The next time I saw him *he was being let into all of the clubs* while I was still watching celebrities go into fancy parties. *I’m genuinely happy for him!* It’s *easily* one of my top 10 favorite seasons … maybe Top 5. *GREAT VIDEO*

Idk why but I really wanted Courtney to win. I would say she had a high chance if they voted Todd out and kept Denise, but she threw sooooo hard at FTC anyways so I think Amanda would have stomped her.

Easily one of the best seasons of the show. Maybe the best if it wasn't for heros vs villans. The cast was very entertaining to watch, and the moves that were made were top notch. Great work on the video also. I've been re watching all the past seasons of the show from the beginning on paramount plus. It's great because i really didn't remember all lot of what happened. Sure I remember the big things but even some winners I completely forgot about.
My favorite season for so many reasons!
Good timeing. I saw finale of this season today And im gonna watch Micronesia yeasterday so we Are on same *timeline*
You have a very interesting and fun channel.

One of the most amazing final 3s ever. Speaking of final 3, when do we get the story of the Alligabler, so that people finally realize he was actually a pretty good player? (and then hopefully another story for Cassidy who was just as good, even a little better IMHO. It should be called "The Fox in the Shadows")

Amanda just NEVER gets the respect, or credit, she deserves, not even in this comment section. She dominated both China and Micronesia with a solid strategy and gameplay. I dont even find her FT performances lack luster, and think she explained her game solidly. I just think she got screwed by Todd and Parvati being very vocal personalities that she just cant match because that isnt who she is as a person. I would have given her the win on both of those seasons if Im on jury. I also think Ciries sour grapes at Amanda in Micronesia cost her the game which is ridiculous.
A combined 5 immunity wins between these 3, and none of them are from Todd...

Todd was good
i just finished watching this season for the first time (im binging survivor this last week) and i actually did not enjoy the top 3 AT ALL, im surprised to see that so many people like it. I started liking all three of them but by the end I found Todd is so unlikeable and Amanda and Courtney were just too unexciting to watch. After Peigh Gee was eliminated the season became so dull to me, and Denise getting eliminated was the nail on the coffin. It's a great season at the beginning, but the final episodes are such a turn off, I wasn't even interested in the final council. I watched it anyway but yeah... totally disappointed by it
This is the first time I realized Courtney was 2nd and Amanda 3rd…😜😜 yay

44:36 - I haven't even seen the episode, but from all we've seen so far, there was no way he was lying. Unless his sister(?) who came to visit had this plan to tell Todd about the other sister miscarring. This is MENTAL and for these people to so easily believe he lied about a miscarriage AND the person visiting just going along... Blimey.
