In Erik's very serious defense, there's a VERY small amount of people who have made it to the final 5 twice. Even smaller being the people who have only played twice, and made it both times. He's a very decent player. He stood at least some semblance of a chance at winning in both of his seasons. He made a dumb move the first time, and got evacuated the second. It happens. But final five 2/2 times is impressive, and nobody can doubt that.

7:09 That scene of Michelle throwing up with Rupert calmly talking strategy to her is one of the best.

“Survivor: Rupert’s Pirate Island”

Twyla: swears on her kid Tony: swears on his wife, his kid, and his dead dad and wins

One of the first times I ever was truly baffled on survivor watching as a kid was when Michelle didn't do a single thing right at the food eating challenge

"All he needs to do is get in front of the jury and it's CASE CLOSED. And oh God, the jokes write themselves." I laughed for a solid two minutes

I’m so glad he put in Michelle’s move in this, I was always so pissed that she didn’t play up her disgust

"I'm gonna be honest with you (chuckle) I was actually gonna vote you." "REALLY?!"

The dumbest move in Survivor was when Jeff Probst brought Kevin Hart into the Ghost Island reunion show. Obviously.

It's such a great moment that, after a season of whining and complaining and being annoying, Abi totally calls out Lisa and Skupin's dumb asses and tells them straight-up what's going to happen if they knock her out.

"That's not a test! That's a betrayal!" gets me every time

You should do a video about your "Top 10 Challenges." I don't mean the type of challenge, I mean specific examples from individual seasons. The specific challenges that were the most thrilling and entertaining.

When survivor isn't in season this is what I live for. EDIT PERIDIAM THE EDITING in your videos is my FAVORITE part oh my god. It's the subtle humor. Like at the end when you show Ami saying "I don't have respect for that woman" and then cut to her voting for her at FTC.

I just spat out my whole smoothie when you said creeping peeping Mr skups lmao

"Creepin, peepin, Mr. Scoops." What a sentence.

In the words of Hermione granger “what an idiot”

Man and I was rooting for Ken in that season. IDIOT! Yeah that was a dumb move...

ugh Pei Gee is SUCH an underrated strategist and Abi Maria is godamned treasure of a character.

I am just amazed at how polished your videos are, especially given your relatively small audience. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great work!

If Brad Culpepper taking Sara to the final three in Game Changers is not in the list it should be an honorable mention. It’s been mentioned before by others about how dumb of a move it was.

Angela Telling Dom about seabass's plan

In Erics defense, what else he can do? He knew that necklace will only put him up for the next tribal but can he survive that next tribal? He didn’t know. He couldn’t guarantee that. And the only way to help doing that is risking his immunity for trust. And yes from our perspective they were gunning for him no matter what but it’s only because we have the viewers eyes and he doesn’t. Was it dumb? Of course it was but it got to much credit fir being dumb than it should be,

Compare your earlier videos to what you're putting out now. The improvement is resounding. More confidence in your script, funnier, crisper editing, faster pace, etc. You've come a long way, Peridiam. Don't stop.

I loved watching everything fall into place in Vanuatu for Chris. He’s still one of my all time favorite winners. Those women were so dysfunctional i loved it lol

I hope Lex makes the top 5 twice: once for the Kelly move and once for his entire all star gameplay

When Abby was telling Skupin that his best chance to win was in a final 3 with her and Lisa, she was right haha he should've listened to her

Im surprised that none of the Ghost Island bad moves made a spot in this video. Dumb moves are a curse that no one will be able to reverse they will just keep on happening.

Speaking of Vanuatu, does anyone remember Bubba whispering to the other tribe with all the men after the swap? Which led to him getting voted out that night by the women?

Your videos are top notch. Quality content. On point narration. And good editing. This channel deserves more viewers. I'm super glad KZfaq recommended this to me

2:10 Jeff saying "this is a tribe. EIGHT people agreed to this" lmao it cracks me up every time 😂 the delivery is just hilarious and we were all thinking it

Man that ken move was one of the most frustrating things I’ve watched on my tv

What should be in the Top 5? What's your #1 dumbest move that doesn't get enough recognition?

Malcolm telling Stealth Our Us in that crazy tribal that they were going to vote Phillip. If he didn’t do that the alliance would’ve gone crazy voted for Sherri and there could’ve been a good possibility Eddie and Malcolm didn’t need to play their idols. There’s a lot of crazy ways this situation could’ve played out and I think what we got was the dumbest outcome

I love this channel! You really seem to know everything about Survivor and I live for your videos.

The girl not pretending to have a hard time with the gross food maybe got carried away by ego, but omg that made me crazy. And talking about ego, Ken destroying his chances as well as his alliance's, just because he was offended that his name was on the chopping block, is WILD. He had the advantage of the secret flip and numbers on his side, and threw it all away because his saw his cause as mightier 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I love your videos! I’m from the Philippines and I rarely find someone who shares a passionate interest in survivor as I do, watching your videos defiantly fills that gaps hahhaha love the humor. Make top 10 underrated great moves please!!!

You can tell how mad peridium gets mad based on how high pitched his voice gets

Any from Vanuatu ruining her own game was so satisfying. She was a villain so despicable, even I couldn't pull for her. And considering how much I love a good villain, that is saying something.

Candice flipping to the villains side even when Sandra wants to flip, candice would have the numbers for final 4 at LEAST and it's not like her competition was that stiff with colby & rupert. That's one thing that I don't think is talked about enough. Oh, and penner not taking a deal for final 4 when he had the chance, haha. There are actually a lot of good options to put in the top 5,. I am excited to see what you think.

Abi was the true hero of the Philippines

Haven't watched yet but hitting like already😊 I just love your channel. Please keep up the good work.

Well I'm sure we all knew Ken's "test" for Will would be on this list lmao the way Adam reiterates what happened in confessional cracks me up every time 😂

Great video!!! The Abi vote is a big one and something I also thought when I rewatched that season recently. Skupin was someone I was rooting for but couldn't stay rooting for when he made such bad moves. Also was rooting for Ken but couldn't believe how he blew up Will's games and still made it to the end (it was great drama though!)

I've been trying to defend Erik and even JT for years.. those moves weren't even that "dumb" like they had reasons for doing what they did. Erik thought that Cirie wouldn't vote with him if he didn't give Natalie the necklace, and there was only one more (or so they thought) tribal for him to get himself in good standing with the jury (which sadly he was they just convinced him he wasn't).. and then same thing with JT. With the info they had.. it wasn't that crazy to assume there was an all-girls alliance. Ofc it's not especially smart to make such a huge decision off of speculation and assumptions, but I'm this game there is limited time to make things happen, and if they lost an alliance member first, he knew they were screwed. Like he had reasons for this. Logical reasons. It just didn't happen to work out.. but if it did it would've been known as one of the greatest moves of all time. JT would be a legend for the opposite reason lmao idk I just never thought they deserved the massive amount of jokes and ridicule they received. And like looking back at all those times.. it looks like it was seriously affecting Erik and like no one was even noticing.

Bless Bill.

peridiam we love you!!!!!

I am LIVING for all of your videos. Survivor is my jam and I am loving every minute of this.

10:30 "Plus court fees" ;)

I dont get it! How do you not have at least 100k subs, At Least! You are becoming one of my favorite you tubers right now...you speak so fluently and provide solid facts...you are really going places man, and im so happy I found you months ago!

Have not watched part 2 but I have a feeling that Mookie telling dreamz about his idol late will be in the next part. Good video

Could you imagine being hounded by Parvati, Amanda AND Cirie nonstop? I'd give them anything they wanted. >:(

All I have to say is BRANDON QUINTON VOTING OUT KELLY BETTER MAKE THE GODDAMN LIST. I don't understand how that move is not talked about like at all?! Zero upside and completely lost Samburu the game just when they were about to get a numbers advantage.

11:44 great handshake😂

Abi may be chaotic, but retrospectively, watching her verbally BODY Skupin at tribal is SO satisfying

"Get the machine gun" *shotgun sound plays*

I'm binging these videos on your channel and here are some ideas: - Top 5 seasons with the most repeat players - Top 5 seasons with the LEAST repeat players

I love Adam 13:45

The onion alliance votes out Dan instead of Susie Stacy and Dreamz can't keep quiet about blindsiding Yau Man Jerri excludes Tina when naming her friends at tribal Lex targets Kelly Goldsmith Ted, Helen, and Jan doesn't form a counter alliance against Brian and Clay Andrew Savage alienates Lillian at the merge. The Koror's passes up two opportunity to vote out Tom. The Raro votes out Jenny and Rebecca over Jonathan Penner Alexis sends Amanda to Exile Island Natalie rallies the troops to blindside Jason Timbara doesn't reunite at the F7 Galu tries to make John the Foa Foa target at the F10 Russell votes out Shambo and Jaison instead of Mick and Natalie Parvati finds a hidden immunity idol, yet doesn't share it with Russell Nobody on Ometepe ever makes a big move to better their position within the game Savaii refuses to vote out Cochran at the tribal councils they attended pre-merge Alicia votes out Tarzan at the F6 Corrine tells Dawn the plan to blindside Sheri Phillip Baylor helps Natalie find the idol Tyler, Will, Rodney, & Dan targets Mike at the F7 even though they know he has the idol Aubry votes out Jason and Cydney instead of Michele and Tai Hannah votes out Sunday and Will. Tai plays an idol for Aubry at the F6 of gamechangers. The Naviti women votes out Libby and Jenna.

Whenever I’m bored I want to watch your videos because their entertaining. Thank you for making these. I usually rather watch a vid of yours than school honestly.

13:45 I love Adam’s entire delivery in this. Cracks me up every time. XD

Michelle was so amazing in the challenge yet so horrible in strategy. That's one move that saved Sandra too. 🤣

I am waiting every Wednesday to see your new video and you nrver fail me! Also Ken revealing Wil's plan always pisses me off :p

Keith's legendary "Stick to the plan" :D

Michelle smh. Ami was a great villain. Seeing her game crash and burn was lovely

It's funny how both Survival and WWE are two things I should not have as much knowledge as I have, since I don't follow the shows and yet here I am, once more, watching another Survival video! I don't know why but I find it really compelling to watch videos of people talking about things regarding this show that I don't actually follow closely or know the exact context of what's being discussed. I have only watched like the 3 first seasons of Survival but I just find it really interesting, even though I never knew some of this people before.

“U can only fire a machine gun into a barrel so many times before the fish just evaporate” Lmao what?! Smh What?!

Abi hitting Skupin in the face with a coconut is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on Survivor ever.

Awesome video. Keen for part 2

The Abi thing is not underrated. That is always talked about as one of the dumbest moves. Ken's move was dumb, but I get what he was trying to do. I think he was so paranoid that Will wouldn't flip that he decided to blow up his game and cause chaos in the other group. It may have influenced Will to flip as he had just been outed and could no longer be trusted by his alliance. I would say Will was the one guilty of a dumb move. He made a big move for the sake of making a big move. He thought it would gain him some respect. I don't know where he planned to move on from there.

I would love you to analyze other countries survivor :D like watching a stream where you watch a season from another country would be so awesome! :D

that was my favorite moment in MvG LOL good for Will for just living in that emotion and giving nothing but authenticity.

I really don’t think the Ken move was that bad, Ken had to trust that will would flip or he would go home, If he didn’t think Will was with them the best move would be to expose him. In the end it did work out for him as his alliance gained control

Cidney telling Scott and Jason that Alecia was looking for an idol. All she had to do was keep quite and vote out Scott or Jason and get out a big player

poor JT, how the might have fallen How great he was in toncantins and the other two nah but I need a JT redemption moment

Abi is annoying, immature and I do not like her but two things about her can't be denied. She was kinda good in challenges like I did not expect that. And the other is that she is not dumb. She knew her spot in tribe and she had several foreshadowed moments when she predicted the winner or the fact that the possible runner-ups have no chance against the future winner, she knew that, that was incredible.

In Lisa’s defense, it isn’t a guarantee that Abi loses in the finals, given her allies on the jury, and the possibility of jury bitterness, and Abi was very condescending to her (and in general). That’s why taking a goat to the end isn’t as easy as some people make it.

I really like hearing you rip on Scoopan and Ken. God bless 😇

Brandon Quinton voting for Kelly has got to be up there. Single handedly cost Samburu the final four and himself a great chance at the win but for some reason nobody talks about it anymore

Peridiam video on my birthday?? Best present ever

Monica Culpepper choosing to stick I with Tyson and Gervase instead of Hayden and Ciera

Any chance at a top 10 Big Brother players or seasons list? Love your vids man!

You got the ideal voice for these recaps. See you on reddit.

It's interesting because I think a certain amount of "dumb moves" probably didn't feel dumb inside the game, in context, where the people don't have the benefit of seeing all the angles and things that we, the audience see (or, in some cases, the season that is airing before theirs which sometimes involves twists or cast members that they are therefore uninformed about). That being said, sometimes a seemingly dumb move is really, REALLY just a very dumb move. For me, #1 dumbest move of all time is always going to be Sean with his alphabet strategy. Even tho I realize this was the first season ever, nobody had any clue what they were doing, and half the cast legitimately thought the whole thing was basically a joke that no one would watch... I can't get past that Sean not only decided to do the alphabet thing in the first place, but then told everyone he was doing it, and then KEPT doing it when it was immediately clear that an alliance was piggy-backing on his dumbness to further their game. (I've seen him since claim it was all strategy to keep Tagi people over Pagong people, but it never once came across as anything but clueless, albeit good-natured, fumbling.) 😂😂

I'd argue that J.T. giving away the idol wasn't even the dumbest move of that season (hi Tyson).

Like Cydney from Koah Rong (Season 32) said: "How stupid can you be?"

I have been looking for another Survivor lunatic for a long time. Glad I found this channel. I got pissed off when Michelle chugged that shake and have been wondering for a while if anyone else felt that way.

“That’s not a test! That’s a betrayal!” Was a great line

I went completely nuts when Ken blew up Will’s move. I rooted for Ken the whole season until that moment. So idiotic

Creepin Peekin Scoops I’m DYING

I always thought Skupin and Lisa voting abi our was so stupid

QUEEN MICHELLE TESAURO

Hey, Peridiam. I just re-watched Cook Islands and was wondering your thoughts on this: Would the season have ended differently if Jonathan and Candice don't mutiny? What I mean is would the Aitu Four (Sundra, Yul, Ozzy, and Becky) have made it to the end like they did or are they picked off before the finale. Do you think Yul still wins if he doesn't reveal the Idol at the Survivor Auction?

Haha. Eric was a friend of mine in highschool. He's a good guy. And doesn't deserve all the criticism he has gotten. (He does deserve some of it for giving away his idol) thanks for pointing out other stops moves.

KZfaq is just so stupid for removing your Ghost Island review. Still mad about it, now people don't get to see it.

Will you do Top 10 Smartest Moves in Survivor?

top 10 quotes in survivor history?

Peridiam you watch survivor south africa or new zealand?. The season 6 of south africa is really good

I don't get how no one ever mentions the final 7 vote of survivor all stars. How stupid it was for big tom, Rupert and Jenna to fall in line with Rob and Amber and vote Alicia. If the plan was to blindside Alicia then all you need is three votes. You don't need Shii-ann and Alicia's vote. Put 3 votes on Rob then it's 3-3-1 doesn't matter who Alicia votes for and you win on the revote wherever Shii-ann chooses to go 3-2 or 4-1. It's so obvious that Rob or amber would take eachother to the final two so the only way Jenna, Rupert, or Tom gets to the final two is if they when immunity, if they even make it to the final three, so essentially if they're lucky. They had such a great opportunity of looking great in front of the jury and almost guaranteeing being in the final three thus greatly improving each of their odds to win. Maybe it was too early in the show's evolution but how they didn't see this path is beyond me. Also if we're talking about dumb moves in all stars Lex, Kathy and Shii-ann voting off Jerri over Amber. I'd say that was pretty dumb.

"I'm risking a lot" lmao he was literally risking nothing. They were on the bottom. Wtf was he thinking?

Are you watching Australian Survivor and Survivor New Zealand? If not I recommend you do so, and then make videos on it.
