I'm down with individual immunities and tribal immunities both being worth one point. They both spare you from tribal council...and the stats already reflect that people like Scout or Lydia were hindrances to their tribe in challenges.

Good point since you could give every favourite a provider bonus for the first nine days.

I don't think I'm gonna give Parvati the provider bonus for that, but I haven't entirely ruled it out. They showed Erik and Natalie getting coconuts too, so I'd have to give it to them too if I gave it to Parvati. If any of them, I'd probably give it to Erik (who interestingly was picked by James as doing the most for the tribe, when everyone else picked James.) I'm also considering giving a provider bonus to Cirie, based on her crab hunt with Ami. So far I've...

I don't think so much of the rankings should rely on immunity challenges. In fact, if you win without winning them (meaning you never had to) you played a better game.

What I've been trying to say for ages. Put immunity challenges down to one-apiece and it won't vastly change the ranking but people like Colby, Amanda, etc. that are way too inflated will fall.

Should Parvati get a +1 Provider Bonus? She was shown providing coconuts on the finale.

Cirie is way too low, Amanda is way too high. Parv is pretty much in the right spot as in ranking, but I would change up the rest of the order alot. I don't think so much of the rankings should rely on immunity challenges. In fact, if you win without winning them (meaning you never had to) you played a better game. I know that is not gonna change, but Tom should not be at the top.

ETA- Also, same thing with HII. I think it's unfair to give people bonus points where they...

OK, I added all the remaining people from this season. I also updated the winner rankings. Thoughts? Comments? Questions?

Well it's only a 1 point bonus, so it's not like it's anything crazy.

By the way, Parvati's score is going to be 102.5 now, so she's going to be ranked #8, ahead of Ethan and Jenna. The good news for Jenna is that she's now sandwiched between Ethan and Ozzy again : )

Also, I found some minor errors in the scores for Amanda (China), Courtney Y., Yul, Ozzy (Cook Islands) and Dreamz, so those are now corrected in my new version of the rankings (which I...

Yes, I do remember him playing it as he had no reason not to. Didn't make a difference of course, he got 0 votes that TC.

Yes, there is indeed a bonus for casting 100% elimination votes. Parvati was the only person who did that this season.

Which I continue to completely disagree with. :P Certainly for some, like Parvati, it makes sense. Parvati was always in power, always dictated how the boots were going to go, even when she &...

Hey, anyone know for sure if Earl used his HII at Final 5 in Fiji? I'm redoing the HII scores based on what I said above and I'm not sure whether to count him as having played it or not.

Parvati made a stronger case for herself by not using it. "Look at me! Nobody can vote me out because I have them all wrapped around my finger!"...of course, those sad sack alpha-male fans all wanted to act like Amanda using the idol was some brilliant move, so if the jurors were anything like them perhaps Parvati should have used it? Hmm...

Is there a bonus for 100% voting score or something like that? Should count until right before the Final Three where in a lot of...

feeds@yuku.com (AnomyBC) — Sat, 17 May 2008 02:08:24 GMT

But even if you are safe, you should generally still use it at Final 5. Parvati I think may have been right to not use it in her case, but that's obviously a rare exception. Generally it would be stupid to not use it, and that's why there's a penalty.

Not playing HII (without being voted out) = - .5

No. That's stupid, why should you penalise someone because they've worked themself into a safe position in the tribe and don't have to use the HII.

feeds@yuku.com (AnomyBC) — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:57:00 GMT

I'm still not ready to update the list, but two things I wanted to mention:

First, since Parvati apparently DID find the HII, her score is going to be a little bit higher than what I have above.

Also, due to the large number of HIIs this season, and the large variety of ways they've been used and not used since they were first introduced, I'm now going to change the way I score them. I'm now going to score them like this:

Finding HII = + 1.5

She's ranked as the second-highest female winner in my redux of the list (seen above)....much better testament to the game she played and she narrowly loses the title of greatest female winner to Danni. Still, sixth out of sixteen is pretty good.

Hmm. You currently have this:

Finding the Hidden Immunity Idol (+2.5): Gary H., Terry, Yul, Yau-Man, Earl, Mookie (+1.1), Alex (+.7), Edgardo (+.7), James, Todd (+1.5), Amanda (+1),...

I don't actually have time to update this right now, but if my math is correct, Parvati is going to be ranked #10, with a score of 101.5. (That's the same score as Jenna Morasca, so Parvati is ranked lower because she had more votes against her.)

Here's the whole Top 18:

1. Tom Westman - 118
2. Brian Heidik - 105.5
3. Yul Kwon -...

Survivor is more about strategizing your way to the end than being a challenge hog and this list favors male contestants at the higher end of the spectrum because they can perform well in such challenges. Winning individual immunity makes you immune from earning negative points by receiving votes at tribal council, so in theory it's technically more than a two point bonus. Most importantly, we here at Sucks like to see A) the most entertaining...
