I literally puked on the bar of an Applebees like 20 years ago while doing many shots of vodka with a friend.

Gosh. I think Dean might be one of the most attractive people I've ever seen on Survivor. Love seeing him pop up on my news feed

I’ve never eaten at an Applebee’s, because any place that has an Applebee’s also has at least 1 other place nearby that serves food, and I’d rather go anywhere else. One thing I don’t get about Karishma and the challenges, is why does her tribe keep giving her a big job to do, where she will be certain to slow them down and give the opposition a lead?

she's bad at every job. no matter where they put her, she'll gently caress it up. she's a deer in the headlights 100% of the time. she nearly bled to death because she curled up into a ball when she sliced her hand open cutting a loving piece of fruit.

"cutting" is a pretty generous way to describe what she was doing but yeah

Applebees has like one thing that I really like, their Fiesta Lime Chicken. Everything else is okay to mediocre. There used to be one in my hometown, but the owner of the building they were in tried to jack up their rent and they responded by immediately announcing the permanent closure of that location and sending trucks to pick up all their poo poo the very next day. On the one hand, that's kind of hilarious, but on the other, that's a decent number of people who went from stably employed to unemployed in the span of like one day because of a conflict between a greedy corporation and a greedy landlord.

It's very cool to me that Erik gets routinely dumped on every time as a reference every time someone makes a survivor mistake and he's still cool about it like, 45 years later

As somebody from Oceania and not North America I literally have no idea what Applebees is. They seem fine? Like big servings but that's American dishes for you right? Like a Dennys or something. But how amazingly overblown were their responses to the reward reveal OMG OMG I LOVE APPLEBEEEES! I also love it when they shoehorn in products that I literally cannot buy even if I wanted to. It's like having an immunity. Saying that, I still need to get around to watching Jack and Jill staring Adam Sandler.

Applebees is a fancy sit-down for us poors. Like, half a step above Chili's but not as ritzy as the good steakhouse you only go to once a year because you can't justify it more often.

I used to work commercial food, and from word around town, no joke, virtually every Applebee's anything came by way of microwave. There were plenty of disgusting kitchens around town, but Applebee's is where food careers went to die.

Applebees is just kind of the standard US corporate diner that has too big a menu to appeal to too many people so it can't do anything with any real care and kind of tries to sell itself as both a family restaurant and your corner bar making it weird for both. There's worse places you can go for a sandwich or some appetizers (which is their big thing) but you're definitely not being drawn in for their food unless you're just one of those people who turns their nose up at anything local or "ethnic" or whatever and go for the commercial option. But like, Applebees appetizers have been great a few nights when I was drunk and "starving" so I'm sure its mana from the gods to a Survivor after 2 weeks of rice.

Never had Applebee's but I can only imagine whatever drinks they would be having would have way too much alcohol and sugary syrup to be good for you when you've been subsisting on rice and water.

How about they take a tip from season 6 - amazon where to prep the tribe for an immunity challenge they gave them spears and blow darts. e: two good things about amazon: cast members are comfortable to wander off and do stuff like fish all day. there is this slow quiet to the whole adventure. and secondly, stuff like big spider bite reactions (she couldn't bend her knee). and piranhas biting deeply into fingers is super common and weirdly casually dealt with. like i'm sure the medics looked at them behind the scene but injuries are rarely their own beat. its more like 'oh yeah also while building the shelter he cut his leg a bit'.

Well, if they gave the Survivors anything like what they (probably) serve in the restaurants. They'd probably be lucky to get 2 ounces of liquor in those shark bowls.

The camp conditions are a lot 'safer' now since they want to focus more on gameplay and less on the actual survival aspects. The water wells have purification tablets in them so they don't even have to boil it, for example.

I think the main reason a lot of the early seasons are so much harder is that the show didn't actually know what it was doing yet and the fact that they didn't accidentally kill anyone is a minor miracle.

That and they realized that the survival aspect of the game is by necessity a sham since there are crew people swarming everywhere at all times, and they should just focus on the things that are real like the stress of being very hungry and the occasional pig-killing or chicken-freeing nerox posted:I forgot just how greasy a Bloomin Onion is. It's terrible. The version they have at Texas Roadhouse is far, far superior.

I miss a lot of the survival stuff, but also its probably for the best if we never again have a bunch of people get told they need to stay in the fence so the lions don't eat them or go take water from the stream the elephants are pooping in. I really gotta rewatch Survivor Africa.

So last night I decided that Rob and Sandra's giant heads are actually cabins and that's where the two of them have been living this whole time. The eyes are windows.

Yes! I've also come to the same realization. My other theory is that Island of the Idols is where Jeff has been living this whole time. And he'd spend his mornings after breakfast looking at the giant heads, then unfolding a page of printed lyrics from his pocket and start rapping.

Season 3 is pretty fun, IMO and despite there being a mild pagonging may have the overall most memorable cast, at least to me. Season 4 has the least number of super memorable players, but the ones who are, are great (one of which is a s2 returnee, the best player). Survivor AUS is super easy to watch, honestly, because despite being longer than US it's overall more fun and has just more joy and less editing chicanery bullshit. They also still do intros which ARE MY FAVORITE THING YET CBS DECIDED TO NOT DO ONE FOR THIS SEASON EVEN TO PUT ON YOUTUBE IT JUST FLAT OUT DOESNT EXIST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 39 SEASONS WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THIS?!?!?!?

I disagree it's super easy to watch. There's great production, the intros are loving cinematic and epic as hell, but at the same time, they're super long, there's heaps of em, and personally the little cultural disconnects make it a little harder to casually slip into.
