I’ve always loved how he talked to people. He gets people to like and respect him just by how he talks to people. In my opinion that’s why he won. Laurel felt she connected with him more than Dom, because Wendell spent the time to get to know and talk to her unlike Dom. Real human relationship do mean something in this game.
Steve Fares dude, everyone isn’t racist like that. Only you are. Maybe you need to fix your glasses and start seeing the modern world. Racism still exists, but cmon it’s not the 1900s
You can tell Jeff likes someone if he goes off script. Like when Cochran left in South Pacific he said "just take the stairs" and obviously we all know Jeff loves Cochran. Just like here, Wendell called his name and he responded "what?!"
Idk I enjoyed the dynamic with him, dim, and laurel. I think it’s poetic that it really came down to whoever laurel connected with/thought played a better game after being ignored and discredited most of the season and especially in the finale. In the end, she became the most important person in the game, single handedly deciding who gets the money.
@@jordanalford2825 Wendell has a good chance, I don't think the high profile winners will do well, unless they are smart and form an alliance (Rob, Kim, Sandra, Parvati, etc.) Wendell is a very low key winner that people can easily overlook and is strong socially.
Somebody: I've checked his body, I've checked his pockets, boots, hat, and his soul he does not have an idol we're all voting him out tonight. Ben: WOOOSH Ben Bomb lalala, secret secret, secret, shh
I honestly don't get why this season has such a bad rep. It had an iconic final tribal council with two incredible players deadlocked for the win, it had a great earlier portion of the game with an epic rivalry between chris and Domenick, and the twist was actually quite enjoyable in my opinion even though most of the curses weren't reversed. Aside from a few lackluster players this season was great and I was happy with the winner
I think it’s jus cuz Dom & Wendells level of play overshadowed everyone else by a good margin. Like no-one had a chance if those 2 were in the game. Jus made it a bit predictable & boring
They edited a lot of players HORRIBLY. Chelsea was a challenge beast and orchestrated multiple blindsides as well as having a huge rivalry with Bradly, however they edited her entire story line out the season and gave her a total of 4 confessionals...
I thought the final tribal was awful. We knew it would be between Wendell and Dom but the jury just seemed bitter and I dnt think either one of them were really able to explain their games well. The season was “mid”, I wouldn’t say it was an awful season though. It started a bit slow in the beginning but got better towards the end and had some great highs. I loved the duo between Wendell and Dom and they both played great games. I can see where ppl complain about the editing but I feel like they say that for every season.
I was actually rooting for both Dom and Wendell (leaned a little more towards Dom) but I totally agree that both of them played a pretty equal, strong game
I’m glad Wendell won this season. I feel like Wendell was the complete survivor player. A very aggressive, very strategic player who was calm and collected but always had great awareness of what was going on and always staged strategically on edge. Not to mention he won 2 immunities and got exiled and still found a way to get to the end with that amazing fire making challenge. If only he could have played in the great survivor era ( seasons 13-20 )
All I can think about is Wendell's bold declaration of loyality to Laurel at that one tribal council. She had no choice but to vote for him to win the million lol.
@The Man late but u do realize that by doing that he pretty much secured Laurel's trust which eventually led her to be close enoguh to give him the winning vote
The partnership that Dom and Wendell had reminded me of the coalition that male lions make sometimes where two male lions run the pride together rather than kill each other for the top spot.
Saying he 'only won' because of Laurel almost makes it sound like a bad thing. Survivor is about getting close to people, making them want to write your name down at the end. Even if it's just one vote that puts you over the top, that's still a good win.
@@TheEmmett4 Wendell had a superior social game. If Dom was singlehandedly running the game, he wouldn't have brought Wendell to the end. He would've brought 2 goats.
To all future Survivor contestants 🗣if you have the luxury of finding a solid person early on to have a secret alliance with please take advantage of it
I’ve seen almost every single season more than three times some of them, but never watched this one because it was spoiled for me. However, this was such a great season. For me, Dom played the best game. Definitely The Godfather. A mix of Boston Rob and Rick Devens even though Rick was a later season! He can deflect blame and gaslight so well! Even with people knowing he’s the biggest threat! He was so good. He can manipulate so well. I really just like Wendell. He’s a smooth talker man. He had a really good social game and he found many advantages. I think his social game is what won him the money in the end, plus he earned the spot with making fire. He’s the good cop usually and Dom the bad cop. However, Laurel, I feel like played a much better game than the jury said or I feel people realize. The only reason people are so mad is because she had the opportunity to take one of them out and didn’t. For me, that is total strategy and makes her just as good because she did hold their games in her hands more than once. However, she knew they trusted her and she was fine. There were multiple times she put herself in a place of power to be a swing vote to then dictate the way the game would go. Also the fact that her and Donathan were able to work with Dom and Wendell under the radar was smart. She always left herself with options and when people just thought she was on the bottom, she was able to lie and make people think that when she was actually in the numbers. It was smart gameplay in my opinion. I think the only time she didn’t know something was when Kellyn pit two votes on her with her extra vote. I loved Laurel’s game play. It was just more lowkey and strategic and behind the scenes. Since Wendell and Dom were in everyone’s faces and threats since the beginning made them better players in the juries eyes. For me, I thought she played a more strategic game than Wendell. I may have voted for her. For me Dom and Laurel played the best overall games, but Wendell was also great! Honestly, I would’ve been fine with any of the final 3 winning. I’ve never said that!
Honestly looking back on it I enjoy him more here than I did on winners at War but I'm sure he's a nice guy in person so I'm not going to hold it against them plus there are a lot worse players out there
1:21 him talking about Nicole and then breaks up with her to go to Michelle, treats her bad then they break up... man this guy has relationships problems And I do too 😭
@@brokenpikachu9491 he could've also done a richard hatch. be glad that he had something on. plus we look at most of the women out there in their underwear and it's okay for them?
Far from mediocre. Did you see him episode 4 winners at war? Singlehandedly figured out the puzzle and won immunity without even touching a puzzle piece

Sloppy Dingo but wendall dom and Laurel were the final three. Laurel just really followed wendall to get there. And dom was in my opinion the brattist of them all. I thought wendall was a good guys personally
The ONLY reason why he won cause of bitter jurors and cause him and Laurel are BOTH BLACK! She voted for him cause he is BLACK! I KNEW he would win as soon as Laurel went to vote!
Giving Laurel that necklace totally won him the game. That, and then winning the fire-making challenge.

No way. Wendell was way smarter than Dom. He was the master mind all along. If not for Wendell, Dom would've been voted out.

I disagree. Wendell won 2 immunities, dom won 3. Wendell found an idol, dom had a total of 3 relics. Dom player the game harder and deserved it more
Survivor Legend 68 well I mean Wendell won anyways so
Survivor Legend 68 Dom played harder but did he win? No. So, Wendell deserved it. Blame Dom for not managing his relationship with Laurel.
