==Online Survivor 12== Reunion

==Actual Date: December 16, 2011==

==Online Survivor 12 Reunion==

Survivor Guy 886: OK, WELCOME BACK TO ONLINE SURVIVOR 12 EVERYONE
Survivor Guy 886: WE HAVE 2 OF THE 16 SURVIVORS HERE, HOPEFULLY MORE LATER, AS SOME SAID THEY WOULD BE LATE
Survivor Guy 886: IT IS THE REUNION SHOW; WE ARE FINALLY HERE AROUND FIVE YEARS LATER, LOL
ppenguin757: Too long
Survivor Guy 886: PENGUIN, FIRST OFF, CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN
SpiderFab4: Yeah, good job
ppenguin757: Thanks!
Survivor Guy 886: LOOKING BACK ON THIS, WHAT'S YOUR OVERALL IMPRESSION?
ppenguin757: I didn't realize how hard we had it as a tribe.
Survivor Guy 886: HOW SO?
ppenguin757: Like at the time, I always felt safe because I thought I had numbers, but my tribe really took a beating in the challenges.
ppenguin757: I was kind of shocked looking back on it that I made it to the merge, to be honest, lol.
Survivor Guy 886: IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY, BECAUSE YOU WERE CONSIDERED THE DOMINANT TRIBE THE ENTIRE GAME, YET AT THE SAME TIME YOU DID GET BEAT ALOT, LOL
ppenguin757: We got beat the most
Survivor Guy 886: SO EVEN TODAY YOU'RE KIND OF SHOCKED YOU WON?
ppenguin757: Yeah
ppenguin757: Especially since I screwed so many people over at the end.
ppenguin757: Like I thought my plan would backfire
ppenguin757: And even druing the final I remember simultaneously thinking that I'm an awful person and that I'm going to lose so it's not worht it.
Survivor Guy 886: AND DESPITE THAT, YOU WON
Survivor Guy 886: OBVIOUSLY, YOU AND VB WERE GOING TO TAKE EACH OTHER TO THE FINAL 2 NO MATTER WHAT
ppenguin757: Right.
Survivor Guy 886: SPIDER, WHAT WAS YOUR PLAN, HAD YOU WON THAT FINAL IMMUNITY?
SpiderFab4: Take Penguin, who I THOUGHT was gonna take me.
ppenguin757: LOL
ppenguin757: See, I thought he would have taken VB, because VB was the easy win.
Survivor Guy 886: SO SPIDER VS. VB, SPIDER WINS?
ppenguin757: Well I would think so.
ppenguin757: I mean, I would have voted for VB, but I think Spider would have won by a healthy margin.
SpiderFab4: You would have?
ppenguin757: Well I mean if you would have voted me out over VB, I would have voted for him in a heartbeat.
ppenguin757: Let's be real here--I would have been pissed, lol
SpiderFab4: Oh right, duh.
SpiderFab4: lol
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
Survivor Guy 886: THINK VB JUST TICKED OFF TOO MANY PEOPLE?
ppenguin757: That and he was too loyal--I don't think he played a social game.
Survivor Guy 886: WHAT IF WE HAD IT SPIDER'S WAY, AND IT WAS YOU VS. SPIDER?
ppenguin757: I think Spider would have won
ppenguin757: That's why I didn't take him, lol
Survivor Guy 886: BY HOW MUCH?
ppenguin757: Well I would have had VB's vote
Survivor Guy 886: I MEAN, YOU WOULD HAVE STILL HAD THE SP LEAD, PENGUIN...
Survivor Guy 886: AND 3 JURORS WERE ABSENT, SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 4-3 SPIDER IF ANYTHING
ppenguin757: He would have had Iam's and Buffy's
ppenguin757: Who showed up?
Survivor Guy 886: LORDY, FEAR, TIM (IAM), SPIDER
Survivor Guy 886: SPIDER WOULD HAVE BEEN VB, OBVIOUSLY
ppenguin757: Right
ppenguin757: Well then I would have had a shot, but with Jakey in the mix
ppenguin757: and not knowing how Brian would vote
ppenguin757: Or cows...it was too big of a risk
Survivor Guy 886: FOR BEING BUFFY, JAKEY REALLY FLEW UNDER THE RADAR THIS GAME
ppenguin757: I know right? I was surprised he was able to keep it a secret.
ppenguin757: Did he tell you at all, Spider?
SpiderFab4: I don't think so
Survivor Guy 886: OK WELL LET'S MOVE ON, WE HAVE A FEW MAJOR EVENTS TO DICUSS...
Survivor Guy 886: STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING, THE MOST OBVIOUS IS THIS WAS THE FIRST GAME WITH FOUR TRIBES
Survivor Guy 886: HOW DID THAT AFFECT THINGS?
ppenguin757: Well I think it made our lives easy, because we communicated well as a small group
Survivor Guy 886: BUT AT THE SAME TIME, VERY LITTLE ROOM TO HIDE AT TRIBAL COUNCIL
ppenguin757: I mean yeah, if the numbers ended up on the wrong side at any time, you were sccrewed
SpiderFab4: Exactly, you start playing hard earlier.
Survivor Guy 886: THE OTHER NEW ASPECT FROM THE BEGINNING WAS THE PERMANENT ISOLATION ISLE TWIST
Survivor Guy 886: THAT OPENED UP A WHOLE SLEW OF NEW THINGS
ppenguin757: Ugh, isolation isle.
Survivor Guy 886: OBVIOUSLY, THIS WOULD BE A MAINSTAY FOR SEVERAL SEASONS TO COME, AND IT SEEMED EVERYONE HATED IT, LOL
ppenguin757: I hate isolation
SpiderFab4: I had fun there
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
Survivor Guy 886: I THINK, IN A WAY, I ACHIEVED WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO. PEOPLE HATE THE REAL ONE, AND I MADE YOU HATE THIS ONE, LOL
Fear The Slice has entered the room.
SpiderFab4: Hi
Fear The Slice: hello.
Survivor Guy 886: WELCOME FEAR
Survivor Guy 886: SO, OBVIOUSLY, THE HARDEST IDOL CLUES EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ONLINE SURVIVOR WERE IN THIS SEASON
Survivor Guy 886: LOOKING BACK ON THAT PENGUIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW YOU MANAGED TO SOLVE THAT? LOL
ppenguin757: I'm just smart like that.
ppenguin757: When you go week after week, you have nothing else to do, lol
Survivor Guy 886: SPIDER, FEAR, STILL SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S PERPLEXED ON "HOW THE HECK DO YOU SOLVE THAT?"
SpiderFab4: I know I was
Survivor Guy 886: DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU NOW, OR ARE YOU STILL AMAZED PENGUIN FOUND IT?
Fear The Slice: I wasn't. David is that good.
ppenguin757: Aw thanks Fear
Survivor Guy 886: LOL, BUT DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU NOW?
Fear The Slice: not really. i'm not going to try and attempt to make it make sense really
Fear The Slice: your idol clues are the bane of my existance
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
Survivor Guy 886: (AND THE RECENT ONES WERE EASY ONES, FEAR, LOL)
Survivor Guy 886: SPIDER?
SpiderFab4: Pretty much what Fear said
Survivor Guy 886: ALRIGHT AND WE'D BE REMISS TO NOT MENTION THE IDOL ITSELF
Survivor Guy 886: OBVIOUSLY, JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN OLS, THE TWIST WAS MODIFIED FROM THE REAL TWIST
Survivor Guy 886: AT THE TIME, IT WAS RECEIVED WELL, BUT THEN FOR SOME REASON OVER THE LAST YEAR OR TWO I'VE STARTED GETTING PEOPLE THAT HATE IT
Fear The Slice: mhm
Survivor Guy 886: HONESTLY, I THINK THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT BACK THEN WE GREW UP WITH THE "NO IDOLS" FORMAT, SO THE IDOL WAS AN OUTRAGE, WHEREAS TODAY ALL THE NEWBIES GREW UP WITH THE IDOLS FORMAT, AND SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE PART OF THE STANDARD GAME
Survivor Guy 886: BUT REGARDLESS, DID YOU GUYS CATCH THAT THE IDOL RULES WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN OLS12? THEY WERE TWEAKED BETWEEN 12 AND 13.
ppenguin757: Yeah, the post-vote and pre-vote thing.
Survivor Guy 886: WELL, OTHER THAN THAT
ppenguin757: no
Survivor Guy 886: ORIGINALLY, THE CONCEPT WAS THAT ALL LEGAL VOTES STILL REMAINED IN PLAY
Survivor Guy 886: SO IF IT WAS, SAY, 4 PENGUIN, 3 FEAR, 3 SPIDER, AND PENGUIN USED HIS IDOL...
Survivor Guy 886: NOT ONLY DID THOSE THAT VOTED FOR PENGUIN STAY BEHIND, BUT THE VOTE ALSO STARTED 3-3, FEAR AND SPIDER
Survivor Guy 886: AFTER THE SEASON ENDED, I REALIZED IT CREATED A FEW COMPLICATIONS, AND SO IT WAS TWEAKED TO WHAT WE RECOGNIZE NOW
ppenguin757: lol
Survivor Guy 886: ANYWAY ENOUGH MONOLOGUE FROM ME, HOW DID THE IDOL CHANGE THE WAY YOU PLAYED OLS?
Fear The Slice: i don't think it did? cuz i didnt really play? i followed and was annoying.
ppenguin757: I played it a little less safe because I knew I had it in my pocket.
Survivor Guy 886: YEAH AND THAT'S A BIG REASON WHY IT WAS CHANGED TO BEING PLAYED BEFORE THE VOTE, LOL
ppenguin757: lol
Survivor Guy 886: WHAT ABOUT HOW DO THESE IDOL RULES DIFFER FROM HOW YOU WOULD APPROACH THE REAL SURVIVOR'S IDOL RULES?
ppenguin757: I'd be more scared to play the idol
ppenguin757: Like I think it becomes a last ditch effort in this instance
Survivor Guy 886: WHY WOULD YOU BE SCARED?
ppenguin757: Because after the vote, people just revote, there's no real change of power.
Survivor Guy 886: BUT YOU ACHIEVE THE SAME THING EITHER WAY
Survivor Guy 886: SOMEONE THAT'S AGAINST YOU GOES HOME INSTEAD OF YOU
ppenguin757: Iguess
ppenguin757: it seems less strategic
Survivor Guy 886: JUST IN THIS VERSION THEY HAVE TO TURN ON EACH OTHER AND VOTE SOMEONE OUT, INSTEAD OF GETTING CHEAPLY PICKED OFF BY A TINY MAJORITY
Survivor Guy 886: BUT LET'S MOVE ON
Survivor Guy 886: ANYWHERE YOU THINK YOU WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT, PENGUIN, IF YOU HAD TO PLAY IT BEFORE THE VOTE?
ppenguin757: Not really, lol
Survivor Guy 886: SO IT WAS COMPLETELY USELESS THIS SEASON, LOL
ppenguin757: Yeah, I'd say so
Survivor Guy 886: ALRIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO FIT IN THE BIG CONTROVERSIAL CHALLENGE
Survivor Guy 886: WHAT IS IT WITH YOU GUYS AND CHEAP ROLL CALLS? LOL
Fear The Slice: we were a very intense cast.
SpiderFab4: ROLL CALL
ppenguin757: You mean, R0LL CALL
Fear The Slice: ROLL CAL|_*
SpiderFab4: ROLE CALL
Survivor Guy 886: IT'S FORTUNATE WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM BOTH TRIBES HERE FOR THE REUNION
Survivor Guy 886: WAY BEFORE I EVEN POSTED THIS SEASON, ONE THING ALWAYS STUCK OUT IN MY MIND...
Survivor Guy 886: THAT CHALLENGE, AND SPIDER SAYING "THIS IS BAD, GUY"
Survivor Guy 886: WE NEVER DID OFFICIALLY RESOLVE THAT CALL, SO FIVE YEARS LATER, NO MORE BIAS, LOOKING AT IT NEUTRALLY, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
SpiderFab4: What was the controversy? I won. :-)
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
ppenguin757: LOL
ppenguin757: I think we were being too anal.
Survivor Guy 886: WELL IF YOU'LL RECALL, FIRST YOU GUYS TRIED TO TYPE "R0LL CALL", USING A FONT WHERE THE 0 AND O LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME
Survivor Guy 886: THEN CLAIMED THAT PEOPLE WERE OUT BECAUSE THEY RESPONDED TO IT
Survivor Guy 886: AFTER WHICH YOU COPIED LIKE 5 PARAGRAPHS OF TEXT, THEN IMBEDDED "ROLL CALL" INTO THE CENTER OF IT SOMEWHERE
Survivor Guy 886: AND CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A LEGITIMATE ROLL CALL BECAUSE YOU PUT IT IN THERE
Fear The Slice: i was a very angry person that day
Survivor Guy 886: LOL!
Survivor Guy 886: DO YOU REMEMBER WHY?
Fear The Slice: ... because i had no life?
ppenguin757: lmao
Fear The Slice: lol. oh wow i played dirty this challenge too
Fear The Slice: sry penguin
ppenguin757: it's ok
SpiderFab4: I was upset too. I had a steak & cheese sub getting cold because of the challenge.
Survivor Guy 886: LOL, YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER WHAT YOU ATE THAT DAY?
SpiderFab4: I remember it because of the challenge
Survivor Guy 886: WELL I GUESS I CAN'T JUDGE. I REMEMBER I ATE LASAGNA DURING THE OLS3 OATH OF SILENCE
SpiderFab4: lol
Survivor Guy 886: LOL, FUNNY THE THINGS THAT STICK OUT IN YOUR MIND
Survivor Guy 886: LET'S MOVE ON TO ALIASES
Survivor Guy 886: ONLY TWO OF THEM: BUFFY AND IAM
ppenguin757: Yup
Survivor Guy 886: HAD THEM FIGURED OUT, OR PRETTY MUCH A SHOCK?
ppenguin757: Buffy was a shcok for sure
SpiderFab4: Yeah
Survivor Guy 886: ESPECIALLY TO LIL
Survivor Guy 886: YOU'LL NOTE HIS LITTLE CURSING TYRADE IN THE FOLLOWING EPISODE
Fear The Slice: his confessional
Fear The Slice: after buffy was ousted
Fear The Slice: had me laughing out loud
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
SpiderFab4: I had a feeling Tim was an alias
ppenguin757: Me too
Survivor Guy 886: BUT, IAM NOT A SHOCK?
ppenguin757: I couldn't put my finger on it though
ppenguin757: I remember thinking it was Case
Survivor Guy 886: WELL THEY'RE BOTH FAIRLY QUIET, LOL
Fear The Slice: iam is a beast
Fear The Slice: case is not
Survivor Guy 886: YES, BUT A QUIET BEAST
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
Survivor Guy 886: THE OTHER THING THAT I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS SEASON WAS THE NUMBER OF INACTIVITY EJECTIONS

Survivor Guy 886: BUT IN ANY EVENT, SO DOES IT FEEL GOOD FOR OLS12 TO FINALLY BE UP?
SpiderFab4: Sure does

Fear The Slice: im sure it'll come to me
Survivor Guy 886: BACK TO THIS SEASON, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AND WATCH IT PLAY OUT, DID ANYONE HAVE A CHANGE OF OPINION ON ANYTHING?
Fear The Slice: i was quite stupid for trying to associate with my... friends
Survivor Guy 886: LOL
Fear The Slice: it was only because i literally referred them to play
SpiderFab4: Obviously I was surprised that Penguin was closer to VB than me.
ppenguin757: I just cna't believe it was 5 years afo
ppenguin757: Lol oops :-[
Survivor Guy 886: YEAH, FIVE YEARS FLEW BY
Survivor Guy 886: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO DISCUSS FROM THIS SEASON?

Survivor Guy 886: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A SNEAK PEAK AT THE NEXT ONLINE SURVIVOR

FOR SIX YEARS ONLINE SURVIVOR HAS BROUGHT AN AUTHENTIC GAME OF SURVIVOR TO THE ONLINE WORLD.
BUT SOON, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, AS YET ANOTHER NEW SEASON OF ONLINE SURVIVOR BEGINS.
A NEW GROUP OF SURVIVORS WILL TAKE PART IN THE FIRST GAME TO DEFY A MAJOR FORMAT CHANGE OF SURVIVOR THAT BECAME A SERIES STAPLE FOR YEARS TO COME.
LIKE THE REAL SURVIVOR, THIS GAME WILL BEGIN WITH FOUR TRIBES, DIVIDED SOLELY BY THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION: NORTH VS. SOUTH VS. EAST VS. WEST.
OLS' VERSION OF EXILE ISLAND AND THE IDOL RETURNS YET AGAIN, WITH FRUSTRATING BOREDOM, BRAIN-BUSTING CLUES, AND ALTERNATE RULES TO THE IDOL THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYONE'S STRATEGY.
AND JUST AS THE CONTESTANTS THINK THE TWISTS ARE DONE, THEY'LL BE HIT WITH THE BIGGEST ONLINE SURVIVOR TWIST OF ALL TIME DURING THE FINALE THAT NO ONE SEES COMING.

WHO WILL OUTWIT, OUTPLAY, AND OUTLAST ALL THE OTHERS TO BECOME THE SOLE SURVIVOR? THE ADVENTURE BEGINS WITH THE PREMIERE OF ONLINE SURVIVOR 13.

Survivor Guy 886: IT WAS A VERY UNIQUE SEASON, IN THAT THE IDOL RULES WERE CLEARLY ESTABLISHED, AND THERE WAS A WICKED END-GAME TWIST THAT UNVEILED OLS' VERSION OF FINAL 3 FORMAT
Survivor Guy 886: NOT TO MENTION IT'S THE FIRST SEASON WITH CALI AND HIS GANG, LOL
ppenguin757: ughhhh Cali
Fear The Slice: call the exterminators
Survivor Guy 886: HE HAD SOME OF THE DUMBEST STRATEGIES IN THE HISTORY OF OLS
Survivor Guy 886: BUT THEY AT LEAST MADE THINGS INTERESTING, IF FOR NOTHING MORE THAN SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD AT HIM, LOL
ppenguin757: LOL
SpiderFab4: My interest is now peaked
Fear The Slice: lol
Survivor Guy 886: ANYWAY, OLS13 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SEASONS, SIMPLY BECAUSE I THINK THERE WERE A TON OF COOL TWISTS, AND SOME REALLY ODD CHARACTERS
