Somebody get Spencer an account (who am I kidding he probably has one already). He's like Cochran if Cochran had also been an athlete in High School.

Rob Cesternino has his cast analysis and prediction podcast up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlKXuQfJfm4 Looks like an unusually promising cast, full of people who are actual fans of the show.

BGrifter posted:Yeah Spencer is absolutely right up my alley. Looking at his pregame interviews I was worried he'd just be an obnoxious rear end on the beach. Fortunately it seems like he's hitting all the right notes being savvy with his gameplay and saving all the villainous stuff for confessionals. He's in a lousy spot and should be one of the next couple boots, but if he can wriggle out of the corner he's in I expect big things from him. I could see him being sort of an evil Cochran. He's like a Cochran from a parallel Universe where everyone is evil.

In fairness we have no data on Tony's ability to chase criminals across rooftops. He could secretly be Batman for all we know. On the one hand, I'm glad beauty lost, because I'm rooting for Spencer and all the interesting people I want to see stick around are either on Brains or Brawn, but on the other hand every single person on the Beauty tribe is a bland nothing person, or otherwise annoying, and I couldn't bring myself to give two shits about who got voted off in this episode.

Lone Goat posted:What episode were you guys watching where you thought Spencer was killing it in the bucket half of the challenge? Half his throws were landing by Tasha's feet. J'Tia was throwing drops of water because she was receiving drops of water; watch it again, Probst said you have to throw what you receive. Guess the kid's not the tosser everyone thought he'd be going into the season huh?

BGrifter posted:As the resident Survivor Fiji booster the cast for that season is badly underrated. It's a cast with arguably the most beloved Survivor of all time AND the most hated villain in Dreamz. Earl was an excellent winner who seems to get criticism for being too dominant. There were a bunch of fun early game knuckleheads to keep things entertaining. The fall of the Four Horsemen was amazing, Rocky an colossal tool and Survivor Fiji gave us the music of Lisi Linares. where could I get hold of this strange homoerotic Fabio movie? I want to know for...reasons...

The brains tribe is so terrible at challenges that they were beaten by a tribe that was actively attempting to lose. This is hilarious, Spencer is more physically and mentally competent than all the rest of them put together, I can't wait to see what he can do post merge. I like to think that Spencer is what would be created if Cochran had a love child with Corrine.

Shakugan posted:We have a consensus, right? That J'Tia is literally the worst survivor to have ever played the game? There have been some awful players in the past, but they generally get the boot really quickly. This season J'Tia somehow managed to survive for more than one episode and so had more opportunity to demonstrate her awfulness than anyone ever before. It depends how you define worst. She's still spent more time in the game than Fransasquatch did across two seasons.

Huge Liability posted:I'm catching up late again. Was this the first time a tribe has failed to throw a challenge because their opponent is just so loving awful? It was hilarious to watch. This season has been a treat so far. Throwing the balls wasn't their issue. Fetching them was. That tribe could literally have been improved by an order of magnitude by replacing J'tia with a golden retriever. I bet the average IQ would have risen too.

LeJackal posted:You nailed it. When Spencer and Jeremiah took the lead on that log, the second wall went down immediately. This is partly because when they were running up to it, Spencer aimed the tip at where a cross-brace was - having remembered the locations from the first wall. Brawn just slammed their ram through the vertical slats but between the cross-braces, expending their momentum for very little gain. you'd think Tony would be more experienced at knocking doors down.

LeJackal posted:Maybe you can explain how his ability to drink a beer relates to anything else, because I've never understood the significance of it no matter the context or frequency of its use. It's a figure of speech. It means he seems like a pleasant person to spend some time around in a casual social context. Somebody who's company you'd enjoy. It has nothing to do with the actual capacity to drink beer.

BGrifter posted:It's less the positioning I was giving him credit for and more just surprising physical strength and ability in the challenges so far. He's a lot more capable than I would have ever imagined before the season started, and it's been masked by equally poor performances from J'Tia and others. I was expecting him to be a Cochran 1.0 in challenges. He was never going to be a Cochran 1.0 challenge wise. All you needed to see to figure that out was his topless photo shot in the preseason promotional material, where you can clearly see actual muscle definition; and his bio where he said he was captain of his high school track team.

In this hypothetical season it seems far more likely that there would be 20 players. I want that tattooed guy who got voted out first in Phillipines back - zane wasn't it? If we can include players from this season Tony and Spencer would be nice. I also wouldn't mind seeing Sherri from Caramoan again. A thought occurred to me the other day as to what might make for an awesome all stars season. Get the producers to contact every former survivor player and check to see if they are willing to do another season. Once you have a list of all players willing to come back, put the list online and let the public vote to determine who gets cast.

Wren610 posted:Plural love affairs? Thats the last thing I would have suspected the way this seasons going. I think this episode will be cut and dry Morgan will piss Kass off. Kass will want to vote Morgan off cause Kass is a egotistical brat the 5 alliance will pile on cause its an easy vote so if something other than that happens I'll be happy. Of course with so many people overplaying this season nothing's a sure bet. It's an article from a couple of years ago. It isn't referring to this season.

Bigass Moth posted:I've seen every episode of every season of Survivor and I have no problems putting Kass in the bottom 5 worst players of all time list with Lil, Dreamz, Leif, and [Insert One World player of choice]. In a season with Brains, Brawn and Beauty I can confidently say she is the only competitor who has none of those qualities. She delusionally thinks she's running the game, nobody likes her, she's not trustworthy, she can't contribute in challenges or at camp or socially, she seems to get off on ruining strategy and straight up reduced her standing from at worst bottom of 5 to at best bottom of 6. I guess she can be taken to the final 3 as a goat, but she's not a trustworthy vote so I doubt anyone will want to drag her along when Jefra is available and will vote however she's told. J'tia needs to be in that bottom 5 list. I assume we aren't counting quitters.

Lone Goat posted:How many times was the season winner the person that won the last immunity challenge? By having less eliminations, it gives the "better" player a greater chance of making Final Tribal Council. Cochran won final immunity in caramoan. He would have won regardless of whether he'd taken sherri or dawn.

Poque posted:Even worse was that those four made up the entirety of Survivor for two years. There's got to be a bit of a compounding factor there - I wonder if we'd collectively enjoy South Pacific a bit more if it were showing up now rather than directly on the heels of two bottom-of-the-barrel seasons. I've always counted South Pacific as a favorite, but that could just be a combination of Cochran plus it being the first season I started talking about with goons on the Internet/reading recaps/listening to podcasts about.

Rarity posted:So Philip on RI is legitimately nuts, right? I believe he was a 'federal agent' in some more than likely non field capacity, because they trotted out a coworker during the reunion, but I've always been convinced the nuttiness is equal parts mugging for the camera, and a deliberate strategic choice. Every interview/podcast he's been a part of since he's always come across totally differently - completely rational.

Of the former players on the show she seems to be one of the most desperate for attention. I used to read her recaps that she wrote for some site, until she went absolutely crazy over the caramoan first boot, and started spewing the vilest poo poo as if it was some personal affront. She continued abusing certain players all season. I also note that she abandoned her recapping that season, and never came back to it.

I can see why it's lumped in with the bad seasons cause there's not much in the way of great strategy but as a huge Boston Rob fan it was a joy to see him completely school everyone for the whole season. Also there was crazy Philip and the hilarity of Matt being endlessly beaten with the poo poo stick at Redemption Island. Next you get to watch one of my favorite seasons. (although most people will disagree with me).
