Michelle's amazing breakout!

[gridoon2024 · 8/10 · 9 February 2020]

If you, like me, were wondering what Michelle is doing in the current All-Stars season, and you (justifiably) didn't get the answer in the first 12 episodes of this season (she had been very quiet so far), watch this episode and you will know; she could get voted out straight after this and she would STILL deserve her spot in All-Stars! What she achieved here is incredible: she just cost her tribe the challenge; she is the newest member of the tribe; she has well-known connections with the other tribe; she is a much bigger social and strategic threat than Ben (people say that in confessionals); Ben has people who state that they want him to stay for the benefit of their games (Jarrad, Ziggy); his allies on the other tribe are gone; and yet, they decide to keep Michelle and send Ben home! It's so obviously the wrong move for them, but it didn't just happen accidentally, nor are they bad players; Michelle MADE it happen and fought like hell for it, both at camp and at tribal. It is one of the greatest single-episode performances by a player I can remember in any version of Survivor - and it is all achieved through good old-fashioned social play & the power of words and not with the help of idols. *** out of 4.
