Bless you Wendy, Survivor’s most chaotic player ever. <\/p>\n

Wendy first terrorized the Manu tribe with her injured ankle and her refusal to let anyone kill a chicken and her theft of the flint, and tonight, even with a whole new tribe, Wendy was still at it. <\/p>\n

Jeff had all the players drop their buffs and pick new ones, forming three tribes instead of two. What ended up happening was that Kama was divided into two between Manu and Kama. All of the former Manu, which was now very small, ended up on one tribe together, named Lesu…except Wendy. Wendy stayed on Manu as the only person left with new tribemates. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

She was thrilled with her new tribemates and shared every piece of info she had about her former tribe, until her new tribe expressed desire to kill the chickens. <\/p>\n

Wendy first tried to convince them to wait until the chickens laid eggs, but then in the night, she gleefully set the chickens free. (Remember: she is not a vegetarian.) <\/p>\n

The rest of her tribe immediately knew she was responsible for letting the chickens go, but the chickens didn’t really go very far despite Wendy’s best efforts, so everyone else planned to kill the first one they could catch, even as Wendy begged. “You’re my best tribe! You’re my tribemates!” <\/p>\n

Then, with some major help from Wendy, the new Manu won immunity, and Lesu lost once again, meaning they had to go to Tribal without the original easy vote they thought they had, and Wendy has several more days at least to see what other chaos she can cause. Either she’s living on extremely borrowed time, or she’s going to end up winning this whole season. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The former Manu tribe then had to head to Tribal while they all loved each other, and at first it seemed like they were getting rid of Lauren, who had basically stopped eating because of how nauseous the rice was making her. But Lauren was confident enough to not use her idol, and it ended up being Rick’s turn to head to the Edge of Extinction to be sad and cold with Reem, Keith, and Chris. <\/p>\n

Will Wendy survive another week next week despite her questionable chicken decision? Something tells us that yes she will. <\/p>\n

Scroll down to see some of the other major decisions and disasters that Survivor<\/em> players have faced over the years! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Wendy Clucks Up<\/h3>\n

Oh, Wendy. The Survivor: Edge of Extinction<\/em> player made it her mission to keep any tribemates from eating the chickens they had won, even though she’s not even a vegetarian. She first even stole the flint, so they would have trouble making a fire to cook the chicken. Then, when she got an entirely new tribe in a switch-up, she followed through on her plan to set the chickens free in the dead of night. She was positively gleeful about having done it, and we were positively confused about this move in terms of strategy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dan Gets Nullified<\/h3>\n

The David vs. Goliath dynamic finally evened out several weeks into the merge when the Davids, with three advantages on their side, outwitted and outplayed the Goliaths to send Dan home with the help of a stolen vote and the first ever use of the Idol Nullifier by Carl, which rendered Dan’s precious immunity idol totally useless. <\/p>\n

The look on Dan’s face was incredible, and Carl proved he might be a dark horse in this competition as he celebrated with a jubilant, “Bing!” No joke, we were clapping. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Storm’s A-Comin’<\/h3>\n

Season 37 tortured the castaways with some of the worst weather ever, forcing them to compete in torrential rains and even causing a game-ending injury for one contestant during a boat ride on choppy waters. Every single contestant had to be evacuated during a cyclone in the fifth episode, which meant they had to be sequestered in simple comfort-free tents with no talking amongst themselves allowed, to preserve the game. The weather also resulted in one of the funniest episodes to date…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jacket Racket<\/h3>\n

OK, this wasn’t shocking at all, but we may never stop thinking about it, so we’re memorializing it here anyway. <\/p>\n

You see, in season 37, the weather was very bad, and everyone was very cold. Angelina was especially cold, and all she wanted was a jacket. First, she wanted Lyrsa’s jacket. Then Natalie tried to get Nick to give up his jacket to keep him from going home, and it all ended with Natalie going home, jacket in hand. <\/p>\n

“Natalie, is there any way I could have your jacket?” asked Angelina. <\/p>\n

Natalie didn’t respond, even after Angelina started timidly calling, “Natalie? Natalie?” as she got her torch snuffed out. <\/p>\n

Natalie then put her jacket on to say her last words and declared that if a jacket was part of the reason she was leaving, she wasn’t going to be giving it up. <\/p>\n

Maybe you had to be there, but we promise it was highly entertaining. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a Tie?!<\/h3>\n

Everybody knew something wild was happening at the end of season 36 when Jeff started reading the final votes while everyone was still on the island (and not waiting until the live finale reunion, as usual), but then it became clear: he knew it was a tie! Never before in the history of Survivor<\/em> had the final vote for the winner resulted in a tie, third place finisher Laurel was forced to choose between Domenick and Wendell. Obviously, she chose her buddy Wendell. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Game Changer, Indeed<\/h3>\n

Two-time contestant Zeke Smith<\/strong> was forced to reveal himself to be transgender during Game Changers<\/em>, after fellow tribe member Jeff Varner<\/strong> decided to out him in front of the other contestants. <\/p>\n

“There is deception here. Deceptions on levels Jeff that these guys don’t even understand,” Jeff said during the tribal council, just before he was eliminated. “Why haven’t you told anyone that you’re transgender?” The other contestants were outraged, as were viewers, with most calling it the ugliest move in the game’s history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Snakes and Rats<\/h3>\n

Truly one of Survivor’<\/em>s most iconic moments was Sue Hawk’<\/strong>s speech during the final tribal council in season one, directed at Richard Hatch<\/strong> and Kelly Wiglesworth<\/strong>. Richard was a snake, and Kelly was the rat, with Sue advising the other voters to let the snake eat the rat. It was chilling and epic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Major Mistake<\/h3>\n

Back in season 16, Erik Reichenbach had made it to the final five and had individual immunity\u2014a very<\/em> good spot to be in. But he squandered that good position when he handed over his individual immunity to Natalie and was immediately voted out. Viewers even got to see each and every vote before Jeff read them, because it was just so obvious. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trivial Troubles<\/h3>\n

Oops! During a trivia challenge on Survivor: Africa<\/em>, Lex van den Berghe<\/strong> failed to win immunity…even though he actually had the right answer to a question. When the cast reunited later prior to the live finale, everyone realized the error, with CBS later paying Lex, as well as Tom Buchanan<\/strong>, who also was voted out due to the error, a settlement of $100,000. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
