Survivorhas had some memorable quotes over the years.
It started with Sue Hawk’s epic rat and snake speech on season 1’s final Tribal Council.
Of course, there have been others along the way.

Adam Sandler personally, I’m a fan.
That will never not be funny to me.
Kind of in the same wayJack and Jillwill never be funny.

No player is going to take it away."
Like us, the cast had all seenSurvivor 41.
No doubt they were worried about another switcheroo.

And Probst and Co. learned.
You all know where I stood on the hourglass twist.
And unlike the hourglass portion of the proceedings, it was completely fair.

If they had just stopped there and not added that stupid hourglass, it would have been awesome.
And that is worth celebrating.
“It’s yours.
No player is going to take it away.”
Didn’t it feel incredible to hear those words?
Like a true Calgon take me away moment come to life.
All is once again right in the world.
Check out how excited everyone is!
And who can blame them?
But look at Debbie Downer Karla over there not even cracking a smile.
I suppose the question then became: Who was ready to enter the arena?
Chyron Fun
I’m a simple man with simple pleasures.
So that’s my personal jam.
But whenSurvivoreditors want to have fun, they start messing around with chyrons on the screen.
You know, those words that appear at the bottom of the screen while people are talking.
for the Coco idol he didn’t know about, which then shifted to Karla’s name.
Good stuff all around.
While a wise sage named Keith Nale once opined that “Survivorain’t fun.
Goin' on a cruise is fun!
Goin' fishing is fun.
I have no idea how that impacted things, but I have no doubt that it did.
), it’s nice when that window dressing shines.
We got this!”
Just one problem: She was actually on the blue team.
(Sounds like it’s time for aCelebrity Mole Yucatanrewatch!)
And, like my poor wife, Jeanine’s reverse psychology totally worked!
Elie Pulls a Geo
“I feel like I was made forSurvivor.
I’ve kind of figured out how to hack things.
I feel like this is my environment.
Elie
Now why would you say that?
Do I have to repeat my spiel about theSurvivorGods FOR THE THIRD WEEK IN A ROW?!?
Seriously, are you going to make me do that?
Or is this some sort of Jeanine-level reverse psychology to make menottalk about it again?
But Elie had other problems.
Problems like… Gabler.
Never mind the fact that Elie never actually went through his bag, and it was actually Jeanine.
Sometimes you just gotta say, “Forget it, he’s rolling.”
It was unclear how much actual damage that did.
After all, would that guy be the personyouwould want to align with if you just merged over?
(His words, not mine.)
But Elie had another problem on her hands, and that problem’s name was… Elie.
News flash: She didn’t.
But a look at the final tally leads to some interesting questions.
Sami and Gabler both voted for Elie, but Owen joined Elie in voting for James.
Interesting that Sami did not trust Owen enough to bring him in on the vote.
Even more interesting is Noelle’s vote for Cassidy.
I confirmed with producers that Gabler’s idol is, indeed, now powerless.
But he didn’t.
And now it’s gone.
I thought Elie’s parting shot of “You all see what trusting Gabler will get you?”
That said, I have no problem whatsoever with someone throwing an elbow on their way out.
Overall, Elie was an entertaining contestant who played hard just maybe a littletoohard at the wrong time.
Like I said, she pulled a Geo.
At least in her confessional interviews, she did.
And, for that, theSurvivorGods struck her down.
That’s because we asked them before the game, and you cancheck out all of their answers.
Not only that, but he shared the origin story of his epic “LIVIN!!”
You’re going towant to read this one.
And we have plenty more as well.
