‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Episode Eight Betting Odds
–This is the 36th season for CBS’s reality show.
–’Survivor’ was one of the early pioneers of the reality TV genre.
–’Survivor: Ghost Island’ Episode 8 airs April 11 at 8:00 PM Eastern.
Bradley Kleihege got the heave-ho on Episode 7 of ‘Survivor’. He was one of our ‘middle of the pack’ players tied for the #8 choice to win ‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ at +1700. He was also in a three way tie for ‘Next to Be Eliminated’ at +1500. The sum total of all this is that I expected him to stick around for a few more weeks but at the same time didn’t expect him to contend for the crown.
In his ‘exit interview’, Kleighege went with the increasingly common ‘The Other Contestants Saw Me As Too Big of a Threat’ card:
I got blindsided, but I think what happened that maybe wasn’t 100 percent as clear was that Dom saw me as a really big threat, and that’s something he’s told me since we got back from Fiji. What he told me is that he thought I was voting off all the older people, because I got rid of Brendan and then I got rid of Stephanie, and he just felt like he couldn’t trust me.
Asked later in the same interview what he wished he would have done differently he said that he was happy with his strategic decisions but that he just ‘ran out of time’ to make them work:
The hard part is I think I looked a lot less strategic in the edit, so my answer to that would be: if I could have had one more day. I had a really good base set of relationships that I had built. But I guess edit-wise, you want to hear something like I could have been more congenial to people on the beach or something like that. But if I had just made it out of Naviti that night, I think it would have been a whole different game. It looked like I was a great person to bring to the end because nobody was going to vote for me, and I don’t think at that point the opinion of everybody that was left was that I wouldn’t get any votes.
Jeff Probst described Kleighege’s primary issue as one of ‘likability’ or, more appropriately, a lack thereof:
I think Bradley would concur that he is his own worst enemy. From the time we met him to the time he was voted out, he had one big issue: likability. And the thing is, he can be very likable. It’s as if he purposefully lights the fuse to his own stick of dynamite. He’s very bright. He’s clearly got a head for the strategy of Survivor. But man, the way he deals with people would make it very tough for him to win. And yet I loved having him on the show. He provided a lot of story and gave us everything we could ask for.
‘Survivor’ is turning in very solid numbers this season–Episode 7 attracted 8.4 million viewers and was Wednesday’s most watched show for the sixth straight week. The bad news? It was edged by Fox’s ‘Empire’ with the show’s key demo (18-49). Overall, Empire also had a strong showing on Wednesday with a total of 5.6 million viewers.
Expect a significant shakeup following next week’s show which will feature a tribal merger. Here are the odds for ‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Episode 8:
