I loved Earl and Yau man's friendship. It's like they had an immediate understanding and didn't even question one another. Not even at the end.

Love Many, Trust few, Do Wrong to none. Yau man you are a true heroic legend. will never forget your amazing fiji season and you were the winner for me. Thank you Legend, all the best!

Yau-Man was a legend. A true Game Changer.

I'm not sure if Dreamz is getting a video, but in case he doesn't, I have an opinion on what he should have done about the car deal. Once it was known that there was a final three, I think he should have offered to vote with Yau-Man against Cassandra and force a fire-making challenge. That way, Dreamz doesn't give up his spot at Final Tribal Council, and Yau-Man at least has a chance to get there via fire.

Still no idea what Dreamz was thinking trying to be a..... triple agent? Like it was a great idea, tell the stronger alliance about the idol to make them vote for someone else, then tell the horseman exactly who they plan to take down so they can surprise them with a great idol play.... but then Dreamz tells them about the swap too? What?

Yau-man looking in Sylvia's bag is menace behavior, and i'm not mad at it lol.

Oh Yau. Sadly, he's likely to not ever play again due to his age, but he's the biggest bright spot in a somewhat lousy season in my eyes. If only he didn't get eliminated so fast in Micronesia. Another deep run and he's probably a lock for Heroes vs Villains.

Yau Man was the greatest robbery of a win in survivor history, ngl.

I have such a soft spot for old people, and Yau-man won my heart from the very first time I saw him in season 16. I definitely think he could have won had it not been for Earl, plus Yau-man also deserved the win.

I wonder if anybody dug up Yau-Man's fake idol or if it's still buried under that cave in Fiji

Yay-man has to be one of my favourite players. So nice and genuine.

Another great video. I have even greater respect for Mr Yau-man Chan. Your videos are so well made, the stories well told, simply awesome. I'm heading over to Filmheart to check out your videos there! 🎥

It’s so frustrating that they went through his personal bag. I’m glad Mookie and Alex went after that because that just ruins a lot of the game. Feeling some ones pockets or whatever when you hug them is one thing but rooting through peoples personal belongings is a gross invasion of privacy and ruins a lot of strategy.

I watched survivor with my mom when I was young and I remember really loving Yau. Definitely one of my favorites he was a real underdog and got really far. If he would have not taken the risk and they would have gotten rid of Dreamz after he showed that he couldn’t be trusted he probably would have been in the final two if not won the whole thing.

I just want to say how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Survivor is a huge passion of mine and it’s no question one of yours too, and I would love to have my own KZfaq channel like this one day so you are a big inspiration

5:24 Sylvia was probably one of if not the most screwed over contestant in Survivor history up to this point. Her knowledge of architecture basically forced her to be the tribe's leader, then she has to do a schoolyard pick em in front of everyone and THEN live on Exile Island. And THEN, she never gets to go back to the camp she led everyone to build. If Melissa McNulty (Fiji's 20th player) never suffered the panic attack that took her out before the game began, none of that would've happened to Sylvia. However, I think she isn't the most screwed or even second-most screwed this season, given how BS the twist was that caught Michelle Yi, or even the catch-22 deal that Dreamz made that bit him later on.

Been waiting all day for this video! So excited!

Martinez is my hometown and I can’t think of anyone better to represent it than Yau-Man!

imagine how good he be if he was on the show when he was younger

Yau-Man has been my favorite player since I was young, Great vid!

The sweetest Survivor player of all time, what a lovely man

Yao Man was the first to come up with the idea of a fake immunity idol. Smart.

Met Yau Man lately and he told me the casting wanted him and his daughter for The Amazing Race but the daughter turned down the request so they were replaced by Ron & Christina. Later the casting also considered them for Survivor: San Juan Del Sur, which also turned down by his daughter.

I wish they actually brought him back for game changers instead of half the other cast of that season

I feel like this video is proof that you need to include what a person does on the jury in their hero/villain totals.

If he had been cast one season earlier he would've been on Yul's tribe. Yau & Yul working together would've been awesome

LOL as if anyone gonna vote for Dreamz after going back on the deal, great example for his son

We should get a duo season with tai and yauman

To be fair I think Sylvia made two equal teams. The women on Ravu on paper were better than Lisi, Stacey and Cassandra. The men were pretty equal with Rocky/Mookie and Earl should have been able to compete against Boo/Alex and Edgardo. It’s just the beach being so worse really harmed that orange tribe.

We love Yau-Man!

The legend

Yau Man!!!! 💖💖

Damn. I was raised in Borneo, Sabah too for a couple of years. Didn't know he was from Malaysia.

We love Yau Man! 💖💖

I actually think Yau Man played an amazing game and Idk if he beats Earl but I think he probably does in a close vote, depending on final tribal. But I remember watching this right after Cook Islands and I’ve never been more disappointed by the end of two seasons in a row 😭😭 absolute respect to Yul and Earl but Ozzy and Yau are probably the two survivors that I think got snubbed the most

That annoying Earl vote. Perfect game for Earl if not for that. 😑

Feel like pointing out that that random ass earl vote when Sylvia was voted out is the only reason he didn't get a perfect win.

very noice

Why does being unable to dig deep with an inadequate tool make him dumb?

I may be the only person that didn’t think dreamz was a goat I wasn’t the biggest fan of him but I really thought he was gonna win cuz he was a good strategist but I was happy earl won

A lot can be said about the car deal with Dreamz, but I think it really solidifies the Haves vs Have Nots theme. Having won the car, Yau-Man has become one of the people who Have, and he wields that power to try and force Dreams into compliance. It ultimately fails, but it's almost poetic the way it works with the overarching theme.

Admittedly Dreamz got screwed by the final three reveal. And I can't blame him for targetting Yau before final 4 to avoid the deal. I also can't exactly blame him for not following through after he won immunity, despite being the goat of the four they all wanted him gone for some reason. Perhaps they actually wanted strong players at the end, maybe they really meant being a team to the end. But they could have talked to Dreamz about keeping him atleast. So in the end he made the right move if his plan was to make final three..... but all this talk about being a good role model to his kid and constantly saying he'd give it to Yau, and saying the same in interviews and then not doing it.... not a good look. Still he got screwed for sure. just shows how shrewd of a deal Yau gave him, who was greatthis whole season. Humble, smart, likable and surprisingly strong/useful when he needed to be, a little luck finding a great ally in Earl and that tribe swap, good senses when to use the idol and pretty cool under pressure. Also forgiving, no hard feelings cause he knew he put Dreamz in a bad spot.

Water

Why didn't earl or dreamz vote for Yau man? Because he was too big of a threat? I mean I can see that but damn...

😁

Gotta say dreams is not goated. Liked him the entire season up until he snaked yau after constantly claiming in interviews where no one was there to check him about how he’s gonna do the right thing to show his son. Big L bad role model. Then yau with the humility and recognition of the choice he made and to not be mad at dreamz yau is one of my all time favorites if not the best

theres two types of black men in that final 5, one you can trust and one you cant

I seriously thought the Rob father and Amber videos were made by Peridium. It's so complicated distinguishing your channels sometimes.

so unfortunate that dreamz might be the dumbest player to make it as far as he did, he still made the end though i guess...lol

This season is such a mess. Yau man is the best part of it ngl

Listen YM was gonna vote off dreamz or however his name is spelled in the blink of an eye. So i can't feel bad for YM. On top of that as you said he did the same thing to Sylvia going through her bag sooo He's a villain not a hero, y'all can fool yourselves if you want to. Just because he's animated like Courtney and comes up likable like Sandra doesn't change the fact that he gunned for dreamz.
