For the third time in a row, a Survivor 46 player has been voted out with an idol in their pocket.
连续第三次，一名46号幸存者玩家口袋里揣着偶像被投票淘汰。
Watching Hunter McKnight and Tiffany Nicole Ervin get blindsided and sent home without using their idols didn't stop Venus Vafa from falling victim to the same thing in the very next Tribal Council. But host Jeff Probst doesn't think that those three players — or anyone else who has ever suffered the humiliating fate of being voted out without playing their idol — made a mistake. While discussing this week's episode on his On Fire with Jeff Probst podcast, he explained that it's actually due to "great game play" from the people orchestrating the blindside.
看着Hunter McKnight和Tiffany Nicole Ervin被蒙蔽双眼，在没有使用偶像的情况下被送回家，并没有阻止Venus Vafa在下一届部落委员会中成为同样事情的受害者。但主持人杰夫·普罗布斯特并不认为这三位选手——或者其他任何一位曾经遭受过在没有扮演偶像的情况下被淘汰的耻辱命运的选手——犯了错误。在与Jeff Probst的播客《on Fire》上讨论本周的这一集时，他解释说，这实际上是由于幕后策划人的“精彩游戏”。
"When players are playing at this level, the blindsided player never knows it's them," Probst says. "And I know from the couch you might think, 'I would know,' but I doubt it. Getting voted out with an idol is rarely due to a truly bad game decision by the player. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it's the result of great gameplay by the other players. That's why it's called a blindside."
普罗布斯特说：“当玩家在这个水平上比赛时，被蒙蔽的玩家永远不会知道是他们”。“我知道，在沙发上，你可能会想，‘我会知道’，但我对此表示怀疑。被偶像淘汰很少是因为玩家做出了真正糟糕的游戏决定。99%的时候，这是其他玩家出色游戏的结果。这就是为什么它被称为盲点。”

But Probst's co-host, season 45 winner Dee Valladares, puts more of the blame on the ousted players. "Ultimately, it was a mistake," she says. "A mistake equals a wrong judgment, right? They misjudged the accuracy of the information that they knew before Tribal, and I'm willing to bet that each one of them thought so hard about whether or not to play their idols, and unfortunately not playing it resulted in Jeff snuffing their torch. That's a regret that's probably going to last with them even after the game, so it was a mistake, really, because ultimately it led them out of the game."
但Probst的联合主持人、第45季冠军Dee Valladares将更多的责任归咎于被驱逐的球员。“最终，这是一个错误，”她说。“一个错误就等于一个错误的判断，对吧？他们误判了在《部落》之前所知道的信息的准确性，我敢打赌，他们每个人都非常认真地考虑是否扮演自己的偶像，不幸的是，没有扮演偶像导致杰夫掐灭了他们的火炬。这是一个遗憾，即使在比赛结束后，他们也可能会感到遗憾，所以这真的是一个错误，因为最终导致他们退出了比赛。”
Probst immediately counters that he doesn't think it's a mistake, because that kind of judgement only comes with hindsight. "And I know that I've never played, so I am ripe for criticism to even have a thought on this," the host admits. "I get that, but I do have the viewer seat, and what I see is ... I'm thinking of Hunter, when Tribal got crazy and he looked at Kenzie and said, 'I just don't want to be played.' And Kenzie said, 'No, you're not.' In that moment, he doesn't know if Kenzie's telling him the truth but nobody else is, or if everybody else is telling him the truth but Kenzie's lying, so he has to make a decision. It's hard to judge it as a mistake rather than great gameplay by everybody else, which is why you thought you were safe when you weren't."
普罗布斯特立即反驳说，他不认为这是一个错误，因为这种判断只是事后诸葛亮。主持人承认：“我知道我从来没有参加过比赛，所以我已经成熟了，可以接受批评，甚至可以对此进行思考”。“我明白，但我确实坐在观众席上，我看到的是……我在想亨特，当部落变得疯狂时，他看着肯齐说，‘我只是不想被耍。’肯齐说：‘不，你没有。’在那一刻，他不知道肯齐是在告诉他真相，但没有人告诉他，还是其他人都在告诉他实话，但肯齐在撒谎，所以他必须做出决定。很难将其判断为一个错误，而不是其他人的精彩游戏，这就是为什么你认为自己是安全的，而你没有。”
Probst goes on to explain why he doesn't believe that getting voted out with an idol in your pocket makes you a bad Survivor player.
普罗布斯特接着解释了为什么他不相信口袋里有偶像而被淘汰会让你成为一个糟糕的幸存者玩家。
"Holding an idol is so appealing — from the couch, it's very easy to say, 'You should always play your idol, guarantee that you stay in the game another day,'" he says. "But if you're playing to win, then you're always making calculated risks. That's the cornerstone of any Survivor strategy. You need to be clear about the risk you are taking. Sometimes you get lucky, your instincts were right, everything works out, but more often you're going to make a mistake and it will hurt your game in some way. Hopefully not in a fatal way."
他说：“抱着偶像很有吸引力——在沙发上，很容易说，‘你应该一直扮演你的偶像，保证你改天再参加比赛’”。“但如果你是为了胜利而比赛，那么你总是在计算风险。这是任何幸存者策略的基石。你需要清楚自己所承担的风险。有时你很幸运，你的直觉是正确的，一切都会好起来，但更多时候你会犯错误，这会在某种程度上损害你的比赛。希望不会致命。”
