before we move any further let me answer the question on everybody's mind everybody
drop your expectations
ah trolling every 14 year old's favorite after school activity the art of trolling when done
right can actually be pretty funny but most of the time it's usually just for people with far
too much time on their hands who want to tear down somebody for their own pleasure
and i guess when you produce 42 seasons in 21 years even the survivor producers can't help
but resort to their teenage ways and troll the contestants what's going on guys i'm flim masters
and today we'll be looking at five times survivor troll the contestants before we begin please make
sure to smash that like and subscribe button if you not only enjoy fun survival videos like these
but if you also want to see survivor season summarize as i am now posting weekly survivor
retrospective videos with all that said let's look at some top tier trolling from survivor production
number five comes from season five survivor thailand yes as early as season five survivor
trolled the contestants at the final ten the two tribes of five got a chance to bond with each
other for the first time as each player was paired with another player for the day then after this
jeff told the 10 castaways that everyone would now be living at chuwigan's camp and thus shannon gave
her pitch to ted that she was ready to flip to chewing on the side as she believed the tribes
were now merged and it was absolutely fair for shien to think that you see in the first four
seasons and for that matter the following three seasons the merge took place with 10 players left
in the game thus xi'an and the rest of the players probably also thought they would be merging at 10.
and from a logistics point of view if you're a castaway out there why would you think the
producers wouldn't want to merge it's a 5-5 split down the middle and in the old school days with
no idols or advantages that's about as golden as you can get heck the fans at home watching all
probably thought emerge was coming as well and chiang's underdog arc would come to full circle
as she would flip on shuk-jai after being on the bottom of their tribe since the beginning
it would go on to make a deep run but none of that happened as there never was a merge you see
survivor trolled the 10 players and the audience by acting like there was a merge even having the
10 players live on the same beach but in reality it was simply a troll job by production to mess
with the players as jeff never actually said the word merge aaron was it tough having two tribes
live together on the same beach to be completely honest no not at all it's actually much better
having both tribes live together i never would have expected our merge to have gone as smoothly
as it has you said merge yes i certainly didn't say anything to give you that impression did i
so despite the tribes living on the same beach they would still compete in teams for the next
two episodes leading to chewigong winning both of beauty challenges fan favorite sheehan not
even making it to the jury and arguably the most boring stretch of episodes in survivor history
followed suit as chewie gone pagong sukjai and brian basically had no competition on chewy gun
leading to an easy and boring victory production was obviously hoping for a couple things with this
bit of trolling from this fake merge for one they simply wanted a ha ha gotcha moment and
a reminder for future survivor players to never get too comfortable also this was survivor's way
to help propel ken to victory you see ken was an nyu police officer and with this season air and
a year after the 9 11 attacks cam winning this season obviously would have been an amazing look
for the show but since shian was going to flip on sukjai they put in the fake merge and hopes
of giving sukkah enough numbers for ken to be safe when the tribes actually did merge whether
you think the fake merge is the only interesting part about thailand or you think it represents
the awfulness of that season to a t you do have to give credit to survivor for pulling one over
on the players as literally none of them saw so far patrolling them this early in the franchise
something very different is about to happen two tribes will live together
on the same beach that's exactly what you're doing you are two tribes living on the same beach
at number four is survivor troll in jamal and island of the idols making him pay the price
for finding an advantage no i'm not kidding and arguably the worst survivor episode of all time
jamal was at the bottom of the merge tribe in ioi as he was one of the few people to take
kelly's side when it came to the dance situation but luckily he found exactly what he needed an
advantage in the game alright what will this advantage be an extra boat a tribal pass heck
maybe it's even a clue to an idol but whatever it is i'm sure jamal will be glad to have it
you just learned a tough survivor lesson if it seems too good to be true it usually is
the minute you grabbed this note you lost your vote at the next tribal council
ah everybody that comes to island of the idols gets a lesson your lesson was in the art of
sabotage you obviously got burned you lost your vote and there's nothing we can do about that
you serious yep the quote advantage that jamal found was really just a note that told him he
would be going to ioi where robin sandro gave him the baffling news that due to finding this note he
would lose his vote at tribal i mean production had to have just gotten off of twitter when they
thought of this one as this is trolling of epic proportions so basically jamal was penalized for
actively playing the game and going for something that every survivor player would go for especially
when they're in trouble i mean this lesson makes no sense you have to earn your advantages
he did earn it by finding it just like janna had literally earned an idol by finding one that very
same episode and many other players who have earned advantages got them by simply looking
for advantages on the island in fact i can't think of one time when a player was ever penalized for
finding an advantage and survivor the closest we came to that was two seasons later in survivor 41
where players lost their vote if the other players hadn't yet found the beware advantage
at their camp and to make matters worse when jamal got the chance to make someone
else a target in this case dean giving him a fake advantage this only made jamal's target
even bigger jamal went home that same night with literally no chance to fight whatsoever
again there was no lesson here this was simply production trolling jamal
or whoever found this note making them think they had struck gold when in reality it would cost them
dearly for actively playing the game of survivor i guess the true lesson we learned here is that
players can't even rely on finding advantages to help their game damn that's depressing
but if you thought not being able to find legit advantages was depressing imagine not even being
able to win immunity to protect yourself in survivor 41 the three tribes merged at 12
and competed in two tribes of five with the winning tribe earning safety at the merge boat
the dominant tribe of desean danny ricard sydney and evie won the challenge and chose nasir to
be safe with them and we're all guaranteed a spot on the jury a benchmark for many survivor players
not exactly you have the power to reverse the outcome
of yesterday's merge challenge so those that have immunity would have it stripped from them
they would have to compete one of the six of them would be voted out you and the other five would
be safe and guaranteed a spot in the final 11. if you want to make history by changing history
smash the hourglass oh my gosh okay
this could make my game or break my game but at least i'm playing for me
i smashed the hourglass and i changed the course of history
no god no god please no no i mean even months later i'm so speechless about this so-called
twist through looty no fault of their own the tribe that earned immunity were now the ones
in danger and the person who made that decision in erica had no reason not to save herself from
the ever so scary merge vote as i already said with all the twists and advantages in survivor
one of the few things survivor players could rely on was winnie immunity to secure safety
but even that apparently wasn't even in the cards for this season survivor withheld information
from the players making them earn their safety only to troll them and take that away from them
this led to obvious outrage from the fans with many players specifically dany a pro athlete
understandably given jeff and earful about his displeasure from this twist it's one thing to be
like thailand where jeff and production trolled the players but never actually lied to them
here they trolled lied and most importantly made winning immunity seem like a bad thing as hard as
that is to fathom this twist is all but confirmed to come back for 42 and all we can hope for
is that the trolling goes down to basic trolling this time as opposed to the max trolling
we saw in 41. at number two is survivor trolling will simms at the survivor auction in worlds
apart the auction is one of the best times for a survivor player as after 20 something
days of starving and being gently miserable you finally have a chance to earn yourself some food
comfort and even an advantage in the game the first item at the auction of worlds apart was
covered and we'll spend a hundred dollars to buy it alrighty maybe survivor has learned his lesson
and the advantage will be at the start of the auction or maybe it will be some delicious food
for big boy will whatever it is i'm sure it'll be worth the 100 here's what you bought well
oh this is damn you just bought yourself out of this auction pick up your personal items and head
back to camp oh all right will take the note with you head back down the beach i will see you buddy
now to be fair back at camp will was given his own ration of food that would last him the rest of the
game but he decided to share it with the rest of the tribe instead this unfortunately led to a very
ugly moment as shireen thought will was holding on to more food which caused will to lash out as
shireen for questioning his integrity i chose to share that with you guys then you gonna question
that look at it what else is gonna fit in there miss greedy ass all you've been doing is running
your damn mouth so what else could fit in there serene huh i know you hungry all you do is eat
and talk what else can fit in there nobody even likes you i guarantee you there's nobody home at
the united states right now that is missing you this was obviously a bad moment for all parties
involved i mean yeah shireen was ultimately wrong to assume will was hiding food but can you blame
her for assuming that the best survivor could offer will after taking him out of the auction
was some dried fruit and powder and yes what will said about shireen was terrible but you can't
blame the guy for being on edge after having food and comfort being taken away from him especially
since he had been miserable for the past month the best time to troll someone is to pick on
them when they're down and survivor did this to will as he paid a hundred dollars to essentially
lose his chance at food and luxuries all the while knowing he was looking forward to this
auction for a while now i hope the controversy was worth your trolling pleasure survivor
at number one is survivor troll in the railroad tribe in season 13 with the infamous battle twist
after losing the final 11 muni challenge jeff handed rairo a bottle and said they would open
it at tribal the thought on everyone's mind was obvious they would open the bottle after tribal
and it would stay to pack their bags and head to itu's beach as the tribes would then merge
i mean it makes perfect sense as 10 was the usual time to merge in survivor back then and being that
this was tribal council what else could it be the producers wouldn't possibly send another person
home right away we have no chance to fight right you've just voted out one member of your tribe
you will now vote out another that's not fun
alrighty then i stand corrected with no chance to fight whatsoever jenny was picked off as she
was seen as dangerous to the majority alliance and is one of the more forgotten screwed over players
and survivor we've seen cases similar to this in seasons like redemption island in south pacific
where back-to-back tribal councils were held however for one there was an actual movie
challenge before the second bullet off in those seasons and furthermore the players picked off
were already in the minority anyway so if anything it sped up the begonia jenny on the other hand
had plenty of options moving forward as she could obviously get back with you and becky
or stay with the majority at the merge and yes while weros still had the majority when the tribes
did merge at nine and for that matter played it poorly imagine losing two members through
no fault of your own thus going from a powerful position at the merge to one flip sending you to
the bottom tribal council is literally where players lose their shot at 1 million dollars
and survivor treated it like it was no big deal for the railroad players making them get rid of
another number giving the players at the bottom no chance to fight all the while having everyone
think that it would most likely be a note saying they would be merging say it with me everyone
jenny for a second chance 2. to be honest i am completely pissed off about tonight's vote
jonathan did a great job of pulling his own weight i respect that but in the end i feel
completely burned because i was blindsided and had i known or expected that there would be two voted
out tonight i would have done everything possible to make sure that i would still be in this game
