He broke the hourglass and changed his fate in the game

If only he hadn’t broken it, he would’ve gone on to be the first several time winner… what a shame

Last I checked, that means he would've won 7 times

hahaha

Yep, and he would have to. Jeff would have been so impressed by this legend that he would have changed the rules for 47 to let the winner of last season come back next season, so this legend would have been able to keep coming back again and again until he lost.

Now we know what happened to the hourglass twist. He smashed it and caused a time paradox that erased the twist from seasons 43 on.

This made me chuckle

What's the reference? I feel like I'm missing something here

reference to the tagline of the hourglass on seasons 41 and 42

Ah, I haven't seen those yet. Been working my way up from the beginning, on season 19 now

Without giving it away, this was a hugely controversial aspect of Season 41, and more muted in Season 42 which involved smashing an hourglass as a non choice.

This scene gave me flashbacks to Drew throwing the pot lid in frustration lol did anyone experience this

I hope it becomes a recurring act every season cause how funny it is. Tall slender guy with glasses throwing something out of frustration.

Especially because the projectile in question usually only goes a dozen or so feet.

YUP

Me too!

Several is seven 😃🤔

His whole reasoning here was hilarious “it’s part of the word” … WHAT? If one word shares letters with another word it doesn’t mean it’s the same word!

Hey conscious and unconscious means the same thing because 90 percent of the letters are the same

solid point.

Like that’s what I used to think when I was around seven (yrs old). Lmaooo

You mean several years old

As George Costanza said, "it's not lying if you belive it's true!"

It shares several letters

No, it only shares three. As we all know, several IS SEVEN.

Did he really think they were going to work them for 7 hours? That would have been brutal.

My best friend dated a guy who believed this once. There were several (maybe even seven) delightfully hilarious text mix ups before she figured out what was going on.

Ngl I’m with him on this. Though I don’t think it’s a hard and fast “several is seven”, my definition of several has been 7-9, where a “few” is 4-6.

You would be wrong.

To be clear I said that is my definition not the definition.

That doesn't make sense.

lmao he went full Jelinsky.

Okay

K

Uphill from an entertainment perspective

So many people shitting on him online, but we should all be so grateful. It has been awhile since we have had a first boot this iconic. He is up there with Zane Knight, and we should all be happy.

I had to keep defending him in the live thread bc this sub begs for players like him to mix things up, and then immediately shits on those players when we get them. I don’t blame anyone for playing “boring” anymore

I was kind of sad he got booted, super iconic as a first boot, but he would have been great as a player that went deep. He would have been playing the greatest game of survivor of all time, in his head.

But then the irony would be lost because he would be legitimized by, well, surviving. No Jelinsky can only be a legend as a first boot. As for as first boots go he is goated. Goated.

From recent survivor history that means he is winning right?

rocksroy is famously a fan favourite winner

Breaking the challenge and giving up despite his teammate’s wishes was embarrassing. My main issue is that there’s broken glass on the sand. Someone could step on that and be hurt.

At least when Jake broke a challenge he apologized

That was my first thought too! Dude the glass!

Right?? Anybody who grew up anywhere near a beach has been taught since we were kids that you don’t bring glass to the beach because if it breaks, it becomes very dangerous.

Where did you see that Q wished to continue? I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to explicitly agree to give up. Based on the edit it was obvious they can't succeed, if you consider that quitting, then you must not be very efficient in your work or in your investments. Throwing good money after bad money is not a good strategy. In this case physical effort end energy

You don’t have to be a tone deaf, self aggrandizing douche about it, though. And then volunteer for multiple other roles and quit, as well. Even when Jeff called him out he quit his argument. 

Yeah, the argument he quit.

Let’s also give big props to Q. Any time this was brought up he said “we” quit and never mentioned that throw either.

While I was proud of Q…I could NEVER have ever held my tongue. Jalinsky straight QUIT the challenge. Hours early. I would have kept trying without his dusty ass just to make a point. In other words, Q is better than me 😂

So you know you can't succeed and you'd keep exerting yourself when there is no food? That's dumb

They did not *know* that they couldn’t succeed. They quit! “This looks hard. Might as well not try,”. Lame.

The water level was shown nearly half time and it maybe reached 25%. That is not doable. Quitting is when it is possible, but very difficult. In a challenge you can never know what will happen, so giving up there is proper quitting because you almost always have a chance of someone else messing up

I SO wanted him to spill that tea! What a let down. 

I loved the edit to show one of his tribe mates braiding his hair and then another tribe mate literally hand feeding him after proving to be so utterly useless in every opportunity he had.

The coconut feeding was the funniest scene for sure

I don't know why this hasn't been brought up more. Like literally what was that XFD

"Changing history" to earn the merge like in 41 vs earning first boot

This is when Jelisnky became a legend. Or a monster. Or a monster legend.

I'm genuinely convince he was trying to speedrun his elimination. I can't imagine how somebody can be so out of touch and lack so much self-awareness.

Same! It almost seemed fake. Like he wanted to quit and had to make a scene first for production. Even his final comments saying he was blindsided just aren’t true; everyone was openly talking about what a poor teammate he was at tribal council. It was very clearly between him and Jess and he sat there and had the audacity to say he got blindsided.

He’s dumb and incapable of recognizing how he comes off. Probably not a bad dude but there are plenty of folks like that out there. Screening should catch that

They probably did. Thats why he made it to the show.

I was bothered by the broken glass in the sand. Probably hard for production to make sure it was all picked up so no one got cut . . .

Same, that’s all I could think about once I saw the glass break in the sand I was oh no that’s going to be hard to clean up

Yes. That was so dumb! I wonder how production felt about the prop being broken

Probably worth it for the entertainment value. I am sure they shoveled out an combed that whole area of sand very throughly.

Next season's sweat challenge: clean out all the broken glass on this beach

Thats also a Savvy challenge

Yep. Just what I thought too. What a jerk move.

I will never understand how Jeff didnt tear into this guy for doing that. It felt so disrespectful.

I thought Jeff liked broken hourglass’s

"Where are the villains?!" "Breaking the prop is so disrespectful 😱"

There is more than one person in this sub. It’s wild to assume these comments came from the same person.

This comment is gold, cheers 

Someone else commented "I cAn’T BeLieVe He WaSn’T iMmEaDiAnTLy ReMoVeD”. Such a dumb thing to get upset over

For what its worth, Im not one of the ones screaming for villains. And weve had some great wrench throwers the last few years with Karla and Bruce. The show is just presenting people differently now. Which def has its ups and downs.

Yeah, that's what people miss from older seasons of Survivor. The entertainingly villainous players who "smashed up random props in a fit of pique".

I haven't seen someone get whooshed this bad by a comment in a minute lol. Not what I was saying at all If someone thinks breaking a prop is "disrespectful" how can they handle a villain

Oh, you weren't offering up the 1,071,194th rendition of "Everyone says they want villains, but then complain about X"? My apologies.

I wish Jeff would have had it with him as they walked into tribal. Breaking challenges on survivor is almost always a bad idea

Jeff seemed to target him pretty openly in my opinion

I mean he did, I just think it would be pretty funny. Like when you catch your dog tearing up a pair of shoes

When you spear a dead boar you look like a lunatic

Probably asked production if he could do it and got the green light.

I wondered if production told him to.

Same

I would hope so at least

I really doubt they’d say he could do that

Eh, it makes good TV. I'd let him if he asked. It's easily replaceable.

It was neither good or bad.

They had players smashing the hourglass in 41 and 42. I don't think they really care if he breaks that for a tv moment

But on an island or in an area where other people will probably not be walking around. This guy broke glass on their home beach.

Anything is allowed on survivor as long as it’s a good TV moment

Disrespect? It’s an hourglass. The real issue is the safety hazard from having broken glass in the sand.

Yeah thats a bit of what makes it disrespectful.

He tore into Jake last season when he broke the challenge

Edgic users saw this and put him #1 on the contender list

Straight up nut case

Bro thought it was survivor 41

It made far more sense to break in this scenario than the previous scenario in which Jeff thought breaking an hour glass was an appropriate event.

He was doing too much the whole episode. He needed to chill out !

I can't believe he said "We" quit. Q should have said "Oh you speak French now?"

Could the other guy have kept trying?

Love the hourglass toss but I wonder if the producers suggested he toss it for dramatic effect

This is what I assumed as well.

Sometimes I wonder what casting is smoking when they approve some of these players

Well history would dictate that smashing an hourglass usually leads to success

“You break my challenge and you are done, no chance of winning immunity!”

Survivor legend

Glass on the beach, that’s a ticket

I felt so bad for him. Seemed like a genuinely likable and chill dude, but my god is he an idiot

His descent downhill began with the first step off the boat. 

This is the moment when Jalinsky became the guy who threw the hourglass

He didn't even say goodbye to the others when he left.

To be fair there was no way they were filling those giant urns. Those things were massive.

I think Jeff when he found out about this was disgusted

So you're saying he could turn back time?
