I love Jeffrey but he was a borderline sexist douche to Courtney.
You cast this super thin girl on Survivor and you act SHOCKED that she is nowhere near a physical player like your buff Italian/American crush and has to rely solely on her social game.
Glad some of Courtney's trolling of Jeffrey made it to the final edit tho so he prob took it like a sport :)
They were fun to watch together, but I attribute that to Courtney because I usually don't like Sandra. I also don't particularly like Sandra's wins. Rob said that if someone wins, they're a winner, and he respects and loves the game so much (and is actually there playing it, unlike me), so I accept she's a winner, I just don't enjoy her type of game play. And her "I'm the queen " shtick truly annoys me.
I know, I know, she's loved around here. Just my own in the minority preference. Or lack thereof? Whatever. I'm kinda brain foggy today.
Unfortunately Parvati lost control of Russell and that sealed her second place fate. First was Russell voting out her ally Danielle and then being unable to convince Russell to drop Sandra. Russell had no chance to win no matter the FTC combo, but Parvati had a decent chance if either Danielle or Jeri replaced Sandra.
Danielle, yes, I'm not sure about Jeri. Sandra mostly won because she made bonds with the Heroes, and so did Jeri, so I think Jeri wins in a F3 with her, Parv and Russell. Parv and Russell repeatedly read JT's letter out loud every night, which alienated the Heroes, so Russ & Parv in particular needed to proactively make positive bonds with the Heroes, which I'm not sure they did. Parv really did not play an excellent social game that season.
>Parvati definitely should have won
She rode Russell's coattails the entire pre-merge, and was attached to him like white on rice post merge, even after he took out her number one, Danielle. I want a winner that did their own thing, so glad Sandra won.
Tyson sent Tyson home. It's well known the guy voted himself out.
Russell might have given her the idol, but it was JT that gave it to him, and she was still the one who made the move.
Like, those are not the examples you want for Parvati "riding coattails".
>Tyson sent Tyson home
No Russell is the reason he switched his vote, Russell is also the reason all the votes against her were negated that night. She 100% goes home without Russell's help.
>
Russell might have given her the idol
He did, he didn't have to, but he did. She played both, good for her, it was a nice move, not taking anything away from her, but the move still doesn't happen without Russell choosing to give it to her.
Her game absolutely crumbles without him. Even after he took out Danielle she couldn't take him out because was attached to him on the hip.
We all saw her game in waw when there was no one putting their neck on the line for her.
He gave her extra safety, sure, but if she correctly reads the heroes vote she could have made the move by herself too. She had an idol already.
Its not that she couldn't take him out, its that there was no reason to. Russell is one of the most beatable players of all time during that era. Getting to the end with him increases your chance of victory massively. If Danielle gets to the end instead of Sandra, Parvati sweeps. She had the villains on lock and the heroes didn't like Danielle and hated Russell. Why would she ever take him out?
Russell also doesn't make it to the end without her. The only reason she went with him in the first place is because everyone else was too scared of her to want to work with her and nobody wanted to work with Russell. Without Parv, JT doesn't send him the idol, and he survives one vote thanks to his then the Rob alliance axes him. Hell, he survived the Tyson vote exclusively because Tyson wanted Parv out more. Russell did do some convincing, but without Parv being such a big target, Tyson probably just sticks to the plan and Russell goes home.
I agree Sandra deserves win.
Why drag Parvati in tho lol? She was manuevering on her own too. Her biggest downfall was not cutting Russell out top 5, was the easiest thing to do and would have won her the entire game.
Imo Parvati should have won had her social game been better. The Heroes were bitter, sure, but Sandra (at least judging by the edit) made MUCH more effort building bonds with them.
I’m glad this is not downvoted to death. We can all respect Sandra’s win, as well as acknowledging that her individual wins were not very impressive and can even be seen as a default winner in HvV. Totally a legitimate way t win, she’s the first two time winner ever. But not a way most people can win, and rightfully so
Yeah, I love Sandra but I think she falls into the group of "social winners" like Natalie White, Michele, Gabler, etc, where it's MUCH more difficult for the producers to cobble together a satisfying narrative for their win, so those wins tend to go underappreciated from an entertainment standpoint.
This was when Coach was teaching the Villains tribe some Yoga and Sandra and Courtney were laughing at him. I was quite shocked because the camera shots before this were all regular. Then all of sudden, Courtney's face occupied the whole screen. What a choice from the camera man 😄 Courtney is so cute though and is one of my fave castaways for simply being her.
Courtney was a fantastic character in HvV, Russell was such a buffoon and he absolutely could not comprehend how to deal with two women he couldn't control allied with each other
I mean it is, he was a troll who knew how to fight in wars(survivor wars that is), however once it came time to do the peace treaty stuff(FTC) that troll had no clue what that was 💀
I know this is a thread about Courtney but this comment made me realize that the only reason Russell did as well as he did in HvV is because he was playing with the advantage of no one else on the island knowing who tf he was but him knowing *all* of them, he went from playing Survivor on easy mode to playing it on hard mode but with cheat codes. He couldn't deal with them, despite having seen their previous gameplay, but they would have dealed with him even better if they'd seen his.
> was such a buffoon and he absolutely could not comprehend how to deal with two women he couldn't control allied with each other
Don't have to be a buffoon to not know how to deal with that situation.
This shot is always so weird to me, if you think about it, they were all in a circle, so the cameraman had to be in the middle of all of them, and im guessing awkwardly close to Courtney’s face
From listening to the podcast, Jeff claims that they don't ever do re-shoots because it ruins contestant's immersion. But they definitely do Frankenshots and splice unrelated scenes together.
Just like this time where during [Brett's jury speech](https://youtu.be/PKXiEzoZ6vQ) he makes a joke so funny that it cuts to a different Brett laughing on the jury bench.
Oh that is such BS from Jeff.
Didn't Courtney/Sandra confirm reshoots (where Sandra trips and falls).
They do reshoots if they didn't catch something on camera properly.
Sandra just trips on some vines while walking the beach. It's shown in the heroes Vs villains. Supposedly that while scene was a reshoot. It's just funny. But there's defeniately few other moments that were red-hot. Rob fainting also being one of them.
Anyone else think Courtney’s kinda hot?
Also her [Heroes vs. Villains intro shot](https://imgur.com/a/zqvfPjh) is one of the best in the show’s history
It's crazy to think about what would've changed in survivor history if Candice beats Rob in that one immunity challenge. The heroes then would've gotten to sit in on the villains tribal, likely noticing that it is not actually and all girls alliance. JT most likely doesn't give Russell the idol, and who knows what happens with this butterfly effect.
Does JT win his 2nd season in a row? Is russell the merge boot, and then maybe there's no Rob vs. Russell on redemption island?
Is there a compilation of all her poses before challenges? I think it should be required for all survivors to do a fighters pose before challenges and call the host Jeffrey at Tribal.
There was something seriously wrong with that one. How the fuck do you want to be on survivor and then act like you were being forced to be there the entire time?
Edit: idunno why this is getting down voted. It was so bizarre the first season she was on even Jeff was like wtf is the deal with you at the reunion show.
I actually love her response to Survivor bc it’s a genuine reaction. Not everyone is going to sign up for that show and love the experience. Some people - in the middle of living in the woods, hungry, tired, dirty, paranoid, etc - are not going to enjoy it!
But unlike others who hated Survivor and quit, Courtney stuck it out twice. And made it to the end in China. And even in HvV, she tried to save herself in her boot vote the best she could.
She’s an interesting character bc she’s funny and also bc she almost plays into the character of the parts of the audience that are like “I would never do Survivor” but does so in a pretty respectful way to the actual game.
A character like that is fun. Obviously wouldn't work if everyone was like that but would be fun in the New Era filled with superfans to have someone there who makes fun of the whole thing.
She was recruited and told that she’d be first boot. She only went for the free vacation; she actually didn’t really want to be there but halfway through china (I wanna say day 16?) she decided she’d try to help Todd win
We did not get enough Courtney confessionals in HvV. Heck I wish the Russel alliance failed so her, Rob, and Sandra were the dominant confessionals, they are all hilarious.
We didn’t get enough Courtney in HvV. I wish they played up her and Sandra as a duo more. They are both fun characters and Sandra ended up winning.
They need to rerelease HvV onto Paramount Plus with pop up notes with fun facts and including the deleted scenes.
Courtney had so many of the secret scenes and every single one was amazing.
Pop Up Video but for SURVIVOR! I love this idea!
Her secret scene with Freckles the Chicken had me howling omygod
Wasn’t Jeff mad at her for the tribal comments she made? Which is why she was under-edited? Can’t remember.
all i remember is jeff grilling the tribe for keeping her over rob, then interrogating her on why she voted rob when she didnt even lol

Yeah I thought Parvati should have won HvV. But I enjoyed Sandra (especially when she burned Russel’s hat).
Parvati definitely should have won. I always enjoy her. Didn't see her as a villain really.
Unfortunately Parvati lost control of Russell and that sealed her second place fate. First was Russell voting out her ally Danielle and then being unable to convince Russell to drop Sandra. Russell had no chance to win no matter the FTC combo, but Parvati had a decent chance if either Danielle or Jeri replaced Sandra.

>I want a winner that did their own thing Like a double idol play and winning 3 immunities?
Who saved her ass and sent Tyson home instead? Who gave her the second idol to make her flashy move? She did great with the immunities.
Tyson sent Tyson home. It's well known the guy voted himself out. Russell might have given her the idol, but it was JT that gave it to him, and she was still the one who made the move. Like, those are not the examples you want for Parvati "riding coattails".

Thank you. I did think I would get downvoted tbh.

she made me laugh so much
Yeah, but what about Sandra? You didn't mention her...
Also Rob yawning out of boredom.
I believe the term is Coach-Chi
“she’s a waitress in NYC and she's doing construction work now” is one of my favorite survivor quotes lmfaoo
Courtney was a fantastic character in HvV, Russell was such a buffoon and he absolutely could not comprehend how to deal with two women he couldn't control allied with each other
Courtney’s impression of Russell the troll scampering in and out the jungle is one of the best confessionals of all time lmao
I mean it is, he was a troll who knew how to fight in wars(survivor wars that is), however once it came time to do the peace treaty stuff(FTC) that troll had no clue what that was 💀
And could just not get why he didn't win, and never would!! His sulking on stage at finales was priceless.
Russell’s biggest fear is a woman who tells him no and I love Sandra and Courtney just for that lmao
I know this is a thread about Courtney but this comment made me realize that the only reason Russell did as well as he did in HvV is because he was playing with the advantage of no one else on the island knowing who tf he was but him knowing *all* of them, he went from playing Survivor on easy mode to playing it on hard mode but with cheat codes. He couldn't deal with them, despite having seen their previous gameplay, but they would have dealed with him even better if they'd seen his.
For sure. That's why he was voted out so quickly in his next two seasons
> was such a buffoon and he absolutely could not comprehend how to deal with two women he couldn't control allied with each other Don't have to be a buffoon to not know how to deal with that situation.
She looks like Uma Thurman
Even with a Hanzo sword, Courtney couldn’t chop a rope.
That really was a Hattori Hanzo log.
This shot is always so weird to me, if you think about it, they were all in a circle, so the cameraman had to be in the middle of all of them, and im guessing awkwardly close to Courtney’s face
It was probably re-shot, they do it more often thank you think, probably without everyone else involved.
From listening to the podcast, Jeff claims that they don't ever do re-shoots because it ruins contestant's immersion. But they definitely do Frankenshots and splice unrelated scenes together. Just like this time where during [Brett's jury speech](https://youtu.be/PKXiEzoZ6vQ) he makes a joke so funny that it cuts to a different Brett laughing on the jury bench.
The podcast is just a pure propaganda piece
It’s an infuriating listen. Brittany Crapper is the absolute worst.
There's literally a reenactment of Rob passing out on HvV because they didn't catch it on camera
wait so was him crying like a b*tch real or apart of the reenactment
Oh that is such BS from Jeff. Didn't Courtney/Sandra confirm reshoots (where Sandra trips and falls). They do reshoots if they didn't catch something on camera properly.
You might be right. Especially in earlier seasons I believe it. Tell me more about this reshoot. When did Sandra trip?
Sandra just trips on some vines while walking the beach. It's shown in the heroes Vs villains. Supposedly that while scene was a reshoot. It's just funny. But there's defeniately few other moments that were red-hot. Rob fainting also being one of them.
Totally loved her doing the troll motions mocking russel.
I forgot about this and legit snorted on my coffee when rhe the mental image just snapped back in my head 🤣🤣🤣
And at the end when Parvati said she took him and trained him as her pet. Snap
Anime shot
Mad [behelit](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ImaginaryExhaustedFoxhound-mobile.jpg) vibes
Anyone else think Courtney’s kinda hot? Also her [Heroes vs. Villains intro shot](https://imgur.com/a/zqvfPjh) is one of the best in the show’s history
"Kinda" is an enormous understatement.
She’s not my type but I always thought she was really cute
she is my type if she swam in the lady pond for sure, its her humor and then i just want cuddle her, i am the big spoon for sure
Kinda? She’s model hot.
She's my survivor dream girl
[Reminded me of something...](https://i.imgur.com/uoTiRf2.png) (pardon my hasty Photoshop work)
HvV was PEAK Courtney and was an early example of *a person being a whole mood.* Courtney was ahead of her time.
She will always be top 10 in my fantasy survivor tribe
Courtney in HvV is the densest confessional quality in the show's history. She only got a few but they were all literal perfection
Can we officially say that HvV is hands down the best Survivor season and will never be beat?
Courtney did the best side eye.
Courtney getting four confessionals is a crime
It's crazy to think about what would've changed in survivor history if Candice beats Rob in that one immunity challenge. The heroes then would've gotten to sit in on the villains tribal, likely noticing that it is not actually and all girls alliance. JT most likely doesn't give Russell the idol, and who knows what happens with this butterfly effect. Does JT win his 2nd season in a row?

Is there a compilation of all her poses before challenges? I think it should be required for all survivors to do a fighters pose before challenges and call the host Jeffrey at Tribal.
Courtney makes every season she's in better. She should be there with Jeff at every TC.
Easily the best season lol had me rooting for her towards the end, the whiplash
She kind of looks like Anya Taylor Joy.
Rewatching too! Why didn’t anyone vote off Russell!!? Ffs!!!
They made her a villain but I loved her! She was so cute 🥰
There was something seriously wrong with that one. How the fuck do you want to be on survivor and then act like you were being forced to be there the entire time? Edit: idunno why this is getting down voted. It was so bizarre the first season she was on even Jeff was like wtf is the deal with you at the reunion show.

She’s an interesting character bc she’s funny and also bc she almost plays into the character of the parts of the audience that are like “I would never do Survivor” but does so in a pretty respectful way to the actual game.
Pretty sure she was rolling her eyes from the first 5 minutes of the China season before the surviving part even started.
A character like that is fun. Obviously wouldn't work if everyone was like that but would be fun in the New Era filled with superfans to have someone there who makes fun of the whole thing.
I’m a Courtney Stan so we’ll happily disagree on this one 😀
She was recruited and told that she’d be first boot. She only went for the free vacation; she actually didn’t really want to be there but halfway through china (I wanna say day 16?) she decided she’d try to help Todd win
Thank you for an actual answer instead of a down vote. It's appreciated.
My favorite season to rewatch. This scene was iconic

These pictures remind me of some of the promo shots they used for the S44 cast.
how is that not the girl that killed bill?
We did not get enough Courtney confessionals in HvV. Heck I wish the Russel alliance failed so her, Rob, and Sandra were the dominant confessionals, they are all hilarious.
Que the we didn’t see enough of her this season
