I want YOU to come join Slam Town.
You're asking me to emigrate to Slam Town? Become a Slamtonian? I don't know, what's in it for me? I mean, you're the mayor of Slam Town, what do I get?

It stings seeing Jeremy go because he had a lot of passion to play the game, while Natalie just sort of goes around being intractable and rude. Granted she's a little bit of fun as a character, and Jeremy was digging his own grave by going so big with everything. I don't know whether or not I believe the exit interview story fully, but either way he put his foot in his mouth.

I thought Jeremy was done when he called that tribe meeting about people not going off into small groups and strategizing, followed by Jeremy going into small groups and strategizing. It's kind of a bummer if the marriage thing was what really got him kicked off though.

I'm kinda partial on the story - if it's true it kinda bites because it seemed like Natalia/Mike were gonna be able to do something. But if Jeremy wasn't already rubbing people the wrong way it'd be harder to persuade people to vote for him. And we haven't really seen him actually bond with anyone other than Mike, so I don't know how much unity there would have been to save him; at this point people are in 'anyone but me' mode. Natalia might have been able to swing a couple people, but I don't think it would have been enough. Angelina is definitely gonna be an interesting one to watch. She's kind of low-key villainous.

Even then Mike seemed more fascinated with him than actually bonded. What I mean to say is, that relationship was weird and only possible because Mike is also weird rather than anything Jeremy did, I think.

I mean, Jeremy was calling tribe meetings telling people not to talk to each other, while also talking himself about how he found their ally's idol by rifling through his stuff, which surely wasn't good. Making a joke about someone's flirtmance and making them feel uncomfortable may have hurt but also is just more fuel for the fire: Jeremy wasn't part of the big six person alliance, his only known buddy was Mike White who's on the tribe's periphery, and he got into a huge feud with the other target. All of that points to him being a pretty bad social player that was repeatedly putting himself into a worse position; add to that the fact that he's a strategic busybody and the boot makes a lot of sense. Jeremy then coming to exit interviews with a prepared statement as if his stupid social fauxpas is some sort of scandal is actually pretty low. Okay, so she was crushing on John and was a newlywed, and you embarrassed her over it, and she got you booted. That's Survivor, and that doesn't exonerate you and make your boot count less! But good going tarring the poor woman's real life reputation because you lost a game. We don't even know if it was straight cause and effect, but even if it was, it doesn't really redeem him at all to me...

A lot of his interviews were taken up by the Angelina thing, but we didn't even hear any questions at him about whether or not he was aware he was rubbing people the wrong way with his over-strategizing. Just based off what he's saying about himself being 'one of the most liked people out there', I doubt it.

We'll have to see if other castaways verify this story. If Jeremy is the only one saying it, then I'm pretty sure we can 100% chalk it up to Bitter Betty Syndrome. It already reads like a sad, weird, personal vendetta uncomfortably dragged into the public eye. Honestly, the more I see from him, the more retroactively hilarious his lecture on self-awareness becomes.

Even if so, dragging it out in the open is kinda ugly. If a showmance was truly relevant, the editors would have shown it? Not like Angelina could really have stopped them from getting some footage since they've got cameras on them almost 24/7.

Survivor production could possibly have decided not to show it out of decency as well. They just needed a story to tell and they had one in Jeremy vs Natalie.

I actually liked Jeremy and there was a lot of "hey this guy probably ultimately a decent dude" mixed in with all the craziness. I can totally believe all the other Angelina stuff too, or, that he completely invented it as well. I'm past the point of being shocked by the surrounding meta (really since reading Stingray like a million years ago).Propaganda Machine posted:Perhaps it is possible that Angelina behaved inappropriately and stupidly in front of TV cameras and Jeremy was thoughtless and annoying?

I don't think decency factors into much of what CBS does. I mean, Whitney Duncan was married when she went on Survivor and got into a showmance, and they put her and the guy she cheated on her husband with (and then divorced him for) on the Amazing Race.

Not excusing his tantrum he's publicly throwing over it, but I mean if it's true and it's the reason he was voted out then that's pretty hosed up and she kinda deserves to be called on it. Her claim to being a Goliath is that she manipulates people into giving her free meals, so I'm not exactly sold yet that she's a good person.

If she's just flirting and cuddling with John, why does that really matter? What is there for her to be called out on? Are you assuming she and John were making out, or that she cheated on her husband or something? Because I seriously doubt they went that far. Angelina also told her husband that she might be flirting with guys out there and he said go for it. From Jeremy's statement:quote:And on our first day, day 1, first hour, Angelina told us, “Oh, I told my husband about Survivor. He knows that I might have to cuddle and be in a showmance and he’s alright with it. He’s like, ‘Do whatever it takes to win the million dollars.’” But as the days started to go by, she started to worry about what it might look like, because it started to look really obvious.

He could have told the "real story" without scandalizing it pretty easily I feel like, just frame it as, "Oh, I made a dumb comment and she was sensitive about this, and I got shown the door for it." Instead of centering, "She was MARRIED! She had a HUSBAND!" and painting her like a vindictive whore or something.  he seems like an obnoxious jerk right now

Not usually one to follow big social media blowups, but apparently now he's taken to... body-shaming Daniel and Natalie? So I think we can chalk this one up to salt, shake our heads, and put him out of our memory as much as possible.

Given that Jeremy is now starting petty, nasty arguments in the Instagram comments of his former tribe mates, going so far as to mock Dan and Natalie's weight, I think it's pretty safe to say he's just an actual piece of poo poo and nothing he says should be taken as fact.

Angelina posted a few times on reddit saying 1) her and John were just friends and 2) she did tell Jeremy to stop calling them a showmance and it did make her want to vote for him more. So yeah sounds like he just was sabotaging himself and creating an enemy like an rear end, and that saying a married woman is in a "showmance" might bother her. Everyone is probably elated they voted this guy off. I liked him before learning all this bullshit too! Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Oct 12, 2018 |

I’m really enjoying this season of Freaks V Geeks so far. I have no clue how long reality tv l take to edit but the optimist in me thinks that the editors took note of the feedback from last season about how uneven airtime was for the contestants. It’s still very early but I feel that most of this cast is regularly getting confessionals. Also I just finished the last season of Oz Survivor. It didn’t reach the lofty heights of the 2017 season but it was still pretty great.

Early on I thought Bi was getting the boot because she was getting confessionals out of nowhere. I'm on board with the medivac-before-swap theory. Seeing Jeremy be lovely on instagram has convinced me to take what he said with a grain of salt. It's a bit much.
