Nihonniboku posted:I don't even remember who was there with him at the end! Then you had Cassidy who at least felt more in the power structure, who had been part of this duo with Karla, and who would've been the viewers' chalk pick to win at the end. To be fair though Gabler was in on the votes just as much as she ever was. All in all like Ice Phoenix said, it was a pretty disappointing F3 because they managed to vote out all the exciting players the 3 TCs before.

Traitors is fun to watch but pretty much relies on producers constantly running interference to prevent total blowouts by one side or the other. That makes it interesting to discuss for about one page before it falls off

Nicaragua into Redemption Island is pretty rough I still think Philip could've won if he went into the ftc and said it was all an act and that he realized everyone was gushing over Rob and he had to do similar or he'd be gone but as it played out Philip and Natalie basically were on Robs side for the ftc lol.

Watching The Bachelor (shut up) this week and these women (who, I assume, usually eat from the mansion’s nice kitchen) have gone absolutely loving buckwild at the announcement of KFC catering their afternoon pool party in a way that makes Karishma’s Applebees reaction look pretty normal

I think it's hilarious that the guys from The Bachelor and Love Island are probably the best faithful players in the game while Dan Gheesling and Parvati have been pretty bad traitors. Janelle was okay but who woulda thought.

Dan Gheesling was the worst traitor ever which is kind of funny * Instantly and permanently brought suspicion on himself by never talking ever, so there's traitor #1 going down * Insists he needs to kill a guy after Parv/himself were tipped on the shield, implicating Parv as possible traitor #2 * On his way out of the game does an absolutely futile, completely hopeless assault on traitor #3, tipping her identity when she'd been sitting safely How can it get any worse? Anyway so all the traitors are sort of screwed and it's lined up for a faithful win, so of course then they bring recruitment into things and now who knows. I get recruiting Peter as a last ditch effort since they have Parv dead to rights, but everyone knows a recruitment just happened so Peter really should not shift gears at all in attacking Parv...if he leads in taking her out I guess we could still be headed to a traitor win, although all the faithful should eventually begin wondering why the Traitors don't kill Peter. But I do feel like we've seen a few hints toward a faithful win by maybe Trishelle and CT esp with Trishelle saying she thinks Dan was bussing Phaedra to clear himself, that little segment with Trishelle and CT saying they're best friends and in it together, and Phaedra being in love with CT keeps CT around...

Yeah, I think Peter's screwed her either way. If he goes traitor he can bus Parv and it fits with his faithful MO, but a) why isn't he getting murdered, and b) with two successful attacks on traitors in a row, it looks sus that he was so on the money with his guesses. The one thing helping him is the fake shield gambit, but like you said the faithful will know there was a recruitment. And of course if he turns down the invite, he gets murdered. It does seem that Trishelle picked up on Dan's bus against Phaedra, so it'll be interesting to see if she pushes that or keeps it under her hat for endgame.

I mean, why didn't they just kill someone from inside the castle who for sure wouldn't have a shield? Why didn't Dan question Peter's info, knowing full well that he (Dan) was taking a lot of heat? That whole thing was just dumb and reckless.

I'm glad she made it to ftc but I can't help but feel like we missed out on some top tier production awkwardness.

Thanks for the tags, apologies for forgetting to mention I'm not yet to the merge. It's interesting to hear the split opinions on Cagayan! Regarding COPS 'R' US chat: It's kinda great how even the name of the alliance aged poorly. The way Tony stepped on the idol clue with his shoe to hide it and called it 'evidence' in the confesional was peak poorly aging cop character. When that happened I was instantly like "ohhh okay so I get this guy." He is gonna go far by being willing to swear on things without intent. Genuinely, this show is full of sticklers about it and so I kinda spotted that Tony was given emphasis on how he will do what it takes even if it sucks ethically. Players claim they'll lie, but they'll only fabricate if they think it's safe to. And cops always think it's safe to. Regarding Bledsoe:  Indeed it seems he went complete mask off when masking on was the best choice for humanity and that's all we gotta say y'know? After that he surely had a spiritual awakening and I mean a real one but he woke up and that poo poo was Time Cube. I agree pretty much with obliriovrons' point of view on what this 'fame' would do to a young person. But I will finish the season! Thanks for the interest goons!

It's an okay season in a vacuum if you don't think too hard about it, and certain aspects are pretty funny (Kass was an extremely prolific & infamous Survivor Sucks poster before she got on the show) With Spencer I kind of think they were trying to recreate Cochran and, well, lol

I wouldn't say Spencer went "mask off" or "showed his rear end," lol, like his issues are a lot more significant than just being a shithead conservative or something. i think Second Chances was really hard on him and then he did some shrooms or dmt the spirit molecule™ or something and now he's just permanently out there with Enlightened Stoner Brain aka "the smartest guy you know just got super into psychedelics" type of thing

It was a joke about him becoming antivax and pulling the 'I'm just being apprehensive ' stance. If you'd like me to be less nice about it, he turned into a self-righteous prick after the show. Enlightened stoner brain doesn't exist. I regret inquiring on Survivor drama! I'm sorry, I won't do that anymore. I decided not to finish Cagayan, watching China now and it is a much more... I guess I'd say grounded experience. It seems like the earlier you go, the less like a game show it feels like. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Feb 12, 2024 |

China experience so far: It's quite good! I am nearly to the merge. The challenges are cool and at that time hadn't been repeated a bunch yet, and aside from Chicken  I've enjoyed the lead up to the vote-outs. This is the first season I've watched with 'kidnapping' and it's a neat mechanic. Great that the players immediately clocked it as an info gathering opportunity. What do you folks think of gimmicks like that?Zhan-Hu Tribe huddled in torrential rain underneath their banner because they did not build a shelter in time is such a pitiful sight. This show rules. It is such a bummer the way Dave immediately went nuts upon being granted a title of 'leader', the man just wants someone to say thank you for doing stuff!! His fire pit was epic and all survivor seasons should have a mandatory fire pit that gets smoke in your face while you sleep. Frosti is getting hidden in the edit but I can't figure out for what reason because he owns. Peih-Gee deserves to win something in this game for her grit but I know nothing is fair. Meanwhile on Fei Long drat IT EVERYONE'S CREEPS but sadly it was 2007 so it's not surprising. Courtney is delivering killer confessionals and might be my favorite 'character' of the string of rewatches. James is perhaps unreasonably ripped but I am not complaining about the visual spectacle on display. This tribe is stacked with challenge competitors, it feels a little lopsided with sit-outs in account. And finally, Jean-Robert's plan to arc himself from lazy douchebag to hero of the tribe is hilarious and obviously not working. With that poo poo he is like if Aesop Rock didn't have the ability to rap. Great stuff so far! A rare winner pick, no spoilers please but if you're curious: It looks like Todd is gonna sweep the board this season to me. He has such a pretty and innocent smile, really good social game. It is his game to win. Jean-Robert put it right in the very first episode, that Todd is the schemer who never looks like he's scheming.

Spencer had a lot of fans fooled because he himself was a fanboy, rhap listener, etc and those kinds of people didn't get cast routinely back then, plus he was an underdog his entire first season. But he was an entitled brat then too, with some misogyny in the mix as well. i wasn't defending him earlier, what I meant is that saying he was an anti-vaxx shithead or something doesn't even begin to describe the turn he's taken, from uchicago finance bro to living in south america and changing his name to "Reiman." He had some mental health podcast he was doing along the way, dont know if he still is, but basically there's juts a lot going on. checked his blog right now and heres how his latest entry begins:quote:Life today is generally filled with a lot of peace. I love where I live, I love my friends, and I love that the old habit-pattern of chasing women is falling away, that today marks 50 days since I’ve dispersed my chi anywhere outside of myself.
