Survivor: Winners at War recap: Tony cements his legend status
over 40 seasons. Greg Buis used a coconut phone back in season 1. Shane Powers upgraded it to an island Blackberry on season 12. Wanda Shirk showed up with a song in her heart. Benjamin Wade had dragons to slay. And then you had Philip Sheppard and Debbie Wanner competing in the category of least believable résumé of past employment. They were all super fun to watch in their own weird and wacky ways.
— winning season 40 against 19 previous champions would be the most spectacular finish imaginable. And I don’t mean to sound like Spencer Bledsoe at afinal Tribal, but the dude deserves it. The guy has been making moves, finding idols, and winning immunities. He has people laughing at his antics. He has nobody voting against him. Quite simply: He is putting on a clinic… while he at the same time probablyin a clinic. Nobody mixes nonsense and game sense like Tony Vlachos.
The juxtaposition was never clearer as we then heard Tony say “I want to do damage, man. I want to play the game” as he launched into a campaign to woo over an on-the-outs Jeremy, Kim, and Michele. Both Sarah and Tony are smart players seemingly going about the game this season in very different ways. And Tony’s willingness to risk burning bridges with Sarah yet again after blindsiding her with the Sophie vote makes their dynamic the most fascinating one to watch moving forward.
Okay, jeez, sorry to get all introspective and maudlin there. Let’s get back to the bells and whistles! Yay! Advantages! Fun! And we all know advantages are there to be had on the Edge. After Natalie found a clue in a bottle, she realized she had to crawl under the shelter to retrieve a special surprise. And that surprise was an advantage, which could actually be used by someone on the Edge as opposed to someone back on the tribe — the Extortion Advantage.
I do, however, want to give props to Michele for coming up with a pretty sweet lie on the spot. When cornered by Tony about giving him one of her Fire Tokens, she explained that she used them all to buy an advantage that, should she be voted out of the game, she could use at the Edge challenge to get back in. That’s quick thinking that raised no alarms whatsoever, and even though I hate advantages in challenges, I love the deception. More, please.
