The Backwards “Veggie Shield” Strategy in Survivor

We've got meat shields, we've now got vegetable shields... is this lowkey just the food pyramid strategy?

3:48 : "Brandon was awful at the challenges"
*Captions*: "He sure is!"

You missed perhaps the greatest example of veggie shields in Survivor history: Redemption Island. Name me better veggies than Natalie and Phillip.

Ken from Gabon attached himself to Crystal and together they pulled off the Veggie Shield so well that Bob became an unexpected challenge beast.

I think that a crucial difference between the veggie shield and a goat is that the person forming the veggie shield is a bit of "veggie" themself. Your veggie shield is ment to be lost if it's between you or them (therefore a "shiled") unlike a goat that you want to drag to the end and triumf over them only at ftc. That's why I wouldn't consider Phillip to be Rob's veggie shield but just a goat.

Chris in Vanauatu is one of the greatest stories in Survivor. Chris had to squeeze every chance he got in that game, and played his position perfectly every round.

As soon as I heard definition of veggie shield, I thought of Caryn picking Willard in Palau's school yard pick. Must be humiliating being a muscular young man, and seeing an old man like Willard be picked over you

I think Cirie also eliminated Joel with Chet being her Veggie shield.

5:55 I wish you would’ve played the rest of Todd‘s strategy. He had a what I think is still the best strategy. An alliance with 1. someone smaller than you 2. someone bigger than you 3. a ride or die.

10:01 "The fact that you're a nuclear engineer is genuinely, genuinely scary" LOL

Nami had a lot of potential cheese shields with all those jokes they threw around.

Evvie keeping tiffany over abraham. I remember them clocking in a confessional the fact that they would be next after Tiffany if it went by tribe strength

As far as food group strategies go, I'm a bit fan of the underused "added sugars" strategy. After watching it be instrumental to Bob's win in Gabon, I'm surprised it has only briefly shown up once since then.

I find the final 7 vote of 46 really interesting since Venus was fully assessed as a complete goat that had a next to 0 chance of even getting a single vote

Yet she gets voted out near unanimously over the eventual winner of the season in Kenzie who was made the backup plan in spite of being a bigger problem for Q, Maria, and Charlie

It’s a bizarre goat shield strategy where you align with someone volatile enough to cop the votes in your place, similar to the way Rob used Phillip in Redemption Island, it can even work with passive players like Kim Spradlin and Christina Cha

Veggie shield? I’m sorry, that’s a new one

[nathanboyer]

This gives me life. I am a Survivor sprout that needed this kind of strategy video to supplement existing meatier Survivor schools of thought.

[DragoonSlime]

I’m surprised there was no inclusion of Charlie saying “I didn’t realize we were playing Stupid Survivor” or whatever he says about Fang’s draft choices

[thebumpercar]

I think you could consider Kenzie's post merge game as her constantly finding the nearest veggies and getting them to draw the heat away from her to make them forget that she's a mermaid dragon.

[Michael-vnjj]

"can't even see it, that's how small it is" 😂😂😂😂

[BrandonFromSurvivor]

Are you insinuating I am not like Jonathan or Joe Anglim

[SurvivorAndBone]

Now I need the desert shield, if that is a thing.
