You guys see that Fox show that's trying to use Survivor imagery and catchphrases for some crappy reality show of theirs?

I watched Hunted s01e01 because I heard all y'all talking about it and the show loving sucks. Unless it gets better... Over-produced with poor casting choices.

I'm gonna play hardball here. Pony: Michaela Poison: Ozzy I was actually considering Sierra as a pony. No, she's not gonna win. But of all the relatively invisible people, I think she has the best shot. She's reasonably good at challenges (she actually almost beat Mike on her season, who steamrolled everyone bar Carolyn once Joe was gone). She has some social savvy. She could put up with Dan for the majority of the game, which deserves a medal in and of itself. Then I remembered Michaela exists. Sorry, Sierra. As for poison, Tony/Brad are higher up on my 'insufferable' lists, but they'll likely be early boots because of their attitude/threats. Ozzy will likely stick around for longer than is healthy for the average viewer.

This season has made me realize my love for Sandra. While there's a few people that I really enjoyed in the past, I only want the outcome of Sandra winning again again.

Propaganda Machine posted:Go away. I liked Caramoan a lot (and think that was an entirely fair statement by Cochran) but I realize one's enjoyment of that season is entirely based on how much you like Cochran and how much you can stand Phillip since they got the majority of the air time. Pre-merge was garbage except for episode one and Brandon's meltdown episode 4 and post-merge was pretty bad too except for the tribal council Malcolm, Eddie, and Reynolds were all immune and the majority had to scramble for once.

I give Malcolm credit for having the idols to play there, and I see the reasoning behind the move, but it came down to one free tribal council, after which they were all booted one after the other. That's what I mean about his arrogance; he made a flashy play that wasn't terribly effective. If he'd held on to his idols and said bye to one of his bros, he gets 6-9 days to scheme and try to get back in with some kind of group, or else wait for magical bullshit to happen amongst the others and keep him safe.

Malcolm's plan there was to threaten with the idols, not play either of them, and hope for the best. He only played his idol in response to Eddie playing to one that he gave him.

Which just goes to show the plan wasn't fully thought-through. Granted, I can't blame him too much due to the time constraints (I think he found the second idol literally minutes before they left for Tribal) but in retrospect it's clear he could have played the two idols better.

Professor Shark posted:Can someone explain the letter? I've seen it posted before, but didn't watch that season JT and the Heroes had this theory that since the Villains kept voting out men that the tribe was being controlled by a women's alliance. In reality Russell and Parvati were basically running the tribe, but the Heroes had no idea what kind of player Russell was and assumed he was at the mercy of the women. Getting close to the merge the Heroes were down in numbers and know they'd be Pagonged so JT decided to take his idol and give it to Russell with a note that he should use it to save himself and then unite with them in the merge. He managed to pass this to Russell in the challenge and when Russell found it he had the laugh of his life. He shared it with Parvatti who then took up dramatic readings of it the letter to all the Villains as they laughed maniacally at JT's foolishness. In the big picture it was just a desperate gambit move to avoid a Pagonging and wasn't THAT illogical, especially compared to a move like Erik's classic Black Widow one. But the way it played out with how earnest JT's letter was and how comically villainous Russell and Parvatti were turned it into this hilarious example of "evil will always triumph over good because good is stupid." Ironically I'm pretty sure Parvatti eventually uses that idol with her own idol to screw over Russell to save the women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_pxPqtX4po I always felt like the really worse move was post merge when Sandra tried to flip to the heroes to get rid of Russell but Candice or whoever was too stupid to do it and instead flipped to Russell and Parvatti's side only to get picked off by them like a week later. Like, the JT thing is hilarious but if he had kept the idol it probably wouldn't have stopped the Pagonging. Which was the entire reason the Heroes all decided the risk was worth it.

It was also that Russell did things with idols no one else did before then. He found three on the previous season, and remarked "now they're just giving them to me!" JT was on the bottom of the hero tribe, so you can see the logic he was using. It's really not his fault that giving up the idol turned into what it was. My favorite part was actually the trailer for the episode. It was "Next time on...Survivor! We've seen some dumb moves before. *Highlights of Erik giving up immunity, Ian stepping down on the final challenge* But next time, we could see a move that tops them all. *Cut to JT in the middle of his tribe, a full beat passes*, JT says "I give my immunity idol to Russell."" End broadcast. It was just too perfect.

Cochran realised right away that he'd crossed a line with that comment. It was pretty funny, but he's spent the intervening years apologising profusely to Julia every chance he could get.

From what I can tell Julia is a professional racecar driver and gives TED talks so good on her. My great fear for Game Changers is that it's a cast divided between a few big names and a bunch of randos trying to make a name for themselves. This may result in Tony, Sandra, Cirie, Malcolm, and JT being targeted early and we end up with loving Sierra winning the season. Think All-Stars.

Pony Cirie Poison Sierra I know a lot of people don't want people to repeat as much as this, but she's my favorite. There's obviously a huge amount of social interactions we're missing from the first two seasons for her to go from a candidate for first voted off to being gypped out of the final three by it being a final two. Sierra...I didn't think she really did anything and I didn't like the attitude of the majority alliance in that season. It is quite understandable to pagagong. Is isn't right to have the vitriol they had. Also I really think if any female should come back from that season they really should consider our girl Jenn who was a challenge monster (only she showed it more in the "group" challenges doing for instance a crazy amount of that diving challenge) but maybe not as stratigic as Michaela, who I am happy to see again.

I don't really have a pony pick, but Sierra is definitely my poision. I can't believe they are bringing her back again, when she's done nothing of note in either of her previous appearances. Replacing the casting directors is probably the easiest change the show could make in terms of cost to benefit. The show would be incredible without all the mactors who've never watched Survivor.

At worst they could have drawn rocks, but at best... -They could have flipped Sandra to their side to make it 6-4, who TRIED to flip to the Heroes at the merge and warn them that Russell was playing them, and they all thought that Sandra was lying to them and refused to let her flip to save them (actually, I think Rupert was the only one who half-believed Sandra, but no one believed Rupert either). -The exact details of how that merge vote played out are somewhat complicated, but the short version was that the idol that J.T. gave Russell was one of two idols played by Parvati at the merge, sending J.T. out 5-0. So in a sense, his own idol is exactly what sent him home. Like you said, it's not the WORST move ever, especially compared to something like Erik giving up the immunity necklace. It's certainly easy to see the upside to the move had J.T. been right. It's just kind of strange that of all the ways to avoid a 5-5 tie, he took arguably the riskiest way, and then literally everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.
