Survivor: Micronesia - Post-Season Castaway Grades

oscardahl · 05-15-2008, 11:28 AM

Survivor: Micronesia was unique, as far as Survivor seasons go. The hybrid All-Stars formula of Fans vs. Favorites was perceived as gimmicky when announced, and the first handful of episodes did nothing to quell the doubters – the favorites were better, they were taking more screen time, and the whole Survivor season looked like it might turn into a rout. While the Survivor favorites did dominate the season, the fans weren't completely worthless, and they gave us some nice moments along the way. The number of injuries was unfortunate, but it added to the overall excitement of the season. Now, looking back on it all, I thought I'd try something new: castaway grades. The grades are not based on when the players were voted off (though, that obviously plays a part), because luck has a lot to do with Survivor success. The grades are based on how well each player performed, given the set of circumstances they were placed in.

THANK YOU OSCAR!!! I knew I was right about Cirie!

Dude, Yau-man wasn't voted off for being weak in challenges! He was voted off because he was such a strong strategic player in his season. Also, you're an idiot for giving Cirie an A ! She's the reason the most deserving player lost, Amanda!!! Cirie voted for Parvati strictly based on her bitter feeling toward Amanda for not taking her to the Finals! It's called being a very sore loser!!!....and that's all Cirie is, a big FAT loser! The emphasis on "FAT" is intentional! Get a clue, dude! Oh wait, that's right, you're a moron!!!!

Great season. They all were good in their own manipulative ways. More, More and More of this type of show makes you sit on the edge of your seat waiting for the next one.

purpleoddgirl, no one is talking to you, so shush it!

I agree with Acemondo, Yau was amazing at challenges... i feel you missed something oscar.

Yau was good at CERTAIN challenges. Let's not act like he's Ozzy or anything. He can do puzzles, he can do things where you have to accurately hit something. He couldn't compete with someone like Ozzy on the best day of his life. He was good for his age but by no means, a master of Survivor challenges. I'm with Oscar on this one.

Cirie definitely played a great game.
