User blog:Avery FireFlame/FireVivor Top 13 Moments

I had the idea for this blog last night, but I was too tired to do it.

One thing that I think really shines in FireVivor, is that the relationships made in the game are so realistic. Who can forget Tia x Zac? Or Rondi vs. Virgin Mary? And then there's badass strategic players, like MrBlasphemy and Greg. I want to address my top 10 favorite moments from the past 9 seasons, as a way to kick of Area 51- Fans vs. Favorites.

#13- Zac's Confessionals (Season 1)
I remember not really liking Zac in Season 1, for he seemed boring and disconnected from the game. It was when I looked at his season summary on the blog for Season 1 that I really saw his character shine. It turns out Zac had painfully voted Tia each Tribal Council, seeing her as a good friend, but also a distraction. I regret not having confessionals that season, because Zac could have better narrarated the story. By far, one of the best relationships in FireVivor.

#12- Axl Refuses to Participate (Redemption Island)
Seeing that Axl was played by Nalyd Renrut makes this moment all the funnier. At the 2nd challenge in Redemption Island, Axl refuses to take the point he earned, because he wants his team to lose so he can be sent to Redemption Island. All in all, it was a stupid move, but if Axl had survived Redemption Island and returned, it could have made him one great villain. I wish in the end that Axl DID return, but instead he was voted out of the tribe, then sent to RI where he lost the duel to Yejide.

#11- Belinda Eliminates Tanner with the Idol (Ecuador)
What makes this moment so cool is that Lunch Lady Belinda, played by Fanny, was able to blindside arguabley, the season's strongest contender, Tanner. Everyone had voted for Belinda, sure she couldn't have found the idol, some players even going as far as to say she was "too stupid to find the idol." Nevertheless, Belinda had had the idol since Day 6, and she played it out of the blue, eliminating poor Tanner in the process.

#10- Tanner in North Pole (North Pole)
Overall, Tanner was one badass in North Pole. From the beginning, he made alliances with almost everyone, and basically controlled the eliminations with lots of lying and backstabbing. It was a hardcore game, that is often overlooked. Tanner went as far as making deals with everyone from the beginning, and throwing a challenge to eliminate Scarlet.

#9- Redemption Island Family Visit (Redemption Island)
The first family visit in the entire series was more or less a success. There were some rivalries from the start between Jonesy and her mother, and some hilarious characters like JESUS and Chef Ramsay. To make things even better, the challenge went smoothly, and the final round was GOD vs. Chef Bobby, which is just awesome. Seeing how well the family visit went, I'll probably be doing one in Area 51 as well.

#8- Chef Bobby Wins Every Induvidual Immunity and Loses (Redemption Island)
Next to Mr Blasphemy winning The Sahara, this is one of the stupidest finale situations ever. Chef Bobby won every single induvidual immunity in Redemption Island, (with Kass winning one challenge with him), but still lost the jury vote to Kass, who wasn't a BAD player, but didn't win every induvidual immunity. If I wasn't the host, I would have tried to sway the jury votes towards Chef. He deserved to win.

#7- Linwood Becomes the "Satanic Survivor"
As of last night, Linwood Boomer is now the "Satanic Survivor" in FireVivor, with an elimination status of 6th (The Sahara, 6th (Cape Horn), and 6th (Ecuador). It's very likely that his most recent elimination was clearly for humor, but still, it's pretty funny. Linwood is also the first 3 time player in FireVivor, and the first person to have his torch snuffed 4 times.

#6- Rondi vs. Virgin Mary (South Pacific)
The 2nd tribal council in South Pacific is still one of the funniest ever. Two players, Rondi and Virgin Mary had a big religious showdown in the middle of Tribal Council, and THEN the votes tied between them. Unfortunately, I hadn't recorded actual quotes from the argument, but take my word for it, it was funny.

#5- Marty's "Mods and Trolls" Speech (North Pole)
At the Final Tribal Council in North Pole, Marty spoofed Sue Hawk's "Snakes and Rats" speech from ''Survivor: Borneo. ''Although it came out a little sloppy, it was pretty clever, and got everyone's attention. It's probably my favorite Final Tribal Council to this day.

#4- Luaren Rumors at Tutain (Ecuador)
Thanks to Lunch Lady Belinda and Rondi, Lauren is most remembered for being the "girl with lice" from ''Ecuador. ''Belinda admitted that she was the one who started rumors at Tutain camp about Lauren, resulting in a dramatic Tribal Council, and a mini #Survivorbreakdown in confessional by Lauren. It was cruel, but it was very funny, and made for great TV. I still remember all the names being shouted at Tribal. Lauren ended up admitting that she DID have lice, which made it even better.

#3- GOD Almost Quits at Final 3 for Kass (Redemption Island)
At the Final 3 tribal council in Redemption Island, Chef Bobby had to make a decision of whether to take Kass or GOD to the F2 with him. In the middle of Tribal, GOD began to consider quitting for Kass, who he had grown close with. Trying to be a good friend back, Kass comforted GOD and told him not to quit. In a fit of confusion, GOD constantly changed his mind, until Kass finally convinced him to stay. Nevertheless, Chef Bobby chose to take Kass, and GOD was eliminated. I loved this moment because it showed the true relationships made in the game. The heart of this moment was something FireVivor hadn't seen for a while.

#2- Rondi Tries Forfeiting Immunity (Ecuador)
Really similar to the Brandon Hantz incident in Survivor: Caramoan, Rondi came into an immunity challenge wanting to go straight to tribal council, to eliminate Lauren, who he considered the "parasite of the tribe". Lauren stayed calm and denied forfeiting, and much to Rondi's dismay, the host told him that the tribe needed unanimous consent to give up immunity. Rondi still persisted on losing, however, as he convinced Linwood and Belinda to throw the challenge and let Gulunga win immunity. In the end, Lauren was the only person who scored a point for Tutain, and they went to Tribal.

#1- MrBlasphemy Wins The Sahara (The Sahara)
This is one of the reasons The Sahara still ranks #1 on my rankings. Mr Blasphemy, a character who was very disconnected from the game, and almost completely invisible the whole time, ended up winning the jury's votes against Anal, who was played by CK. Mr Blasphemy is considered the biggest WTF winner in FireVivor, and the producers are trying to get the user, JER, to play again.
