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.

less laughter posted:All-Stars was won by Boston Rob both in spirit and financially, just not in title. At the time All-Stars was airing, people were massively disappointed because all the big names went pre-merge. That's more of what I was getting at, that that could easily happen with Game Changers as well.

So Caleb is anti-Sandra and Tony because Russell talked poo poo about them to him and those words filled up the vacuous empty tissue that is Caleb's mind. Got it. edit: Holy poo poo, Brad Culpepper is such a train wreck https://parade.com/551438/joshwigler/survivor-game-changers-brad-culpepper/ edit 2: Hahaha these other players are throwing so much shade at Brad too: Malcolm Freberg (Philippines, Caramoan): I’ve talked a lot about the things that I have learned and what I have now that I didn’t have in the arsenal before. But looking at a few names here and the egos you have to deal with? I just have no tolerance for that. Josh Wigler (Survivor press, Parade): Didn’t you play with Phillip Shephard? Malcolm Freberg (Philippines, Caramoan): Yeah, but his big football playing cousin is here. Sarah Lacina (Cagayan): In the airport, he threw a fit. He had a checked bag and a carry-on. They told him his carry-on is too big and he threw a fit about it. I’m like, “Oh man, this guy is a prima donna: ‘I’m Brad Culpepper, I can do whatever I want.'” Michaela Bradshaw (Millennials vs Gen X): I’m not a suck up type of person. I don’t even suck up to my boss. That’s one thing I’m working on. I’m at Ponderosa and I’m trying to write all these suck-uppy lines for people like Brad Culpepper. “Man, you are such a beast in these challenges, and you carry your team, man. People just don’t understand your intensity. But I get it. There’s nothing wrong with you. People are afraid of you and that’s why they target you. I think we’re a very unlikely pair, and so if we team up, you can go a lot further in this game.” Josh Wigler (Survivor press, Parade): And do you mean any of that? Michaela Bradshaw (Millennials vs Gen X): NO! JesusSinfulHands fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Mar 3, 2017 |

The first time I watched those 7 minutes I was hyped but tbh it could be better. 5 minutes of fluff on the ridiculous Game Changers theme. Only good part was JT saying that Sandra wouldn't be the only two-time winner

Glad to see there's mutual respect between Sandra and Tony. http://robhasawebsite.com/survivor-2017-exit-interview-podcast-ciera-eastin-tony-vlachos-game-changers-march-8/ (skip to 25:15 to hear him slobbering over Sandra) https://twitter.com/SandraDTwine/status/839822734376992771 Comes across better than...some previous big names in previous seasons who felt the need to denigrate their competition (cough...Boston Rob) or couldn't accept losing (cough..Russell).

STAC Goat posted:Ozzy's a petty douche but there's absolutely nothing wrong with him not trusting Cirie. Cirie admitted as much. Ozzy may be motivated too much by petty revenge or something but the thought process is the right one. A player with a legendary reputation for manipulating people screwed you over so you don't want to trust them again. Ozzy says in the episode "The thing with me and Cirie, it really wasn't anything because she just went along with what my alliance decided to do, so I can't hold that against her." That doesn't really sound too bad to me, I don't get why people are holding that against him. Also, getting personal revenge on people who voted you out is a tale as old as Survivor time. Jerri really wanted to vote out Boston Rob in All-Stars. Kass really wanted to vote out Woo in Seocnd Chance. Rob C has talked about how he wanted the satisfaction of voting out Jenna in All-Stars. What's being human without being at least a little petty.

Max posted:Probably "X Drew a rock." But there is no way in my mind that people's loyalties would be that solid pre-merge to force a rock draw. I could see it if there is a tribe swap before the merge and both sides are 3-3 or 4-4.

KKKLIP ART posted:I bet it would be him asking her how he can play and win again and general geeking out Rob C has said on RHAP that Sandra is a huge fan of Cochran, so that would have gone well. Michaela and Brad would also have been funny people to have there with Cochran. But Debbie was pretty good. I think production is shooting themselves in the foot if they wanted big names to stick around this season. First off, they cast a bunch of A-list Survivors with a bunch of nobodies. Apparently there aren't enough people around from All-Stars to remember that this will end up in a big name slaughter. If you're going to do an all-returnees season, it needs to be either all huge names (Heroes vs. Villains) or mostly non A-listers (Cambodia) to ensure that the boot order isn't tragic. Second, tribe switches tend to screw over the biggest names/leaders/people playing the hardest in each tribe, rather than the players doing nothing or coasting by. That's why Sandra went home this week. Third, that stupid both tribes go to tribal council twist where Mana had all the incentive in the world to screw over Nuku by voting out a strong player (Malcolm). If this season ends up with a Brad, Sierra, Troyzan, Sarah, and Hali final five (tbh I feel like that is the way this season is going), the Survivor press and fans gotta make it clear to production that they need to change things up for the next returnees season.

Fast Luck posted:The decision to out Zeke is still near incomprehensible to me so I spent some time thinking about it, and one thing I came up with is that Zeke's season hadn't aired yet, so the other players didn't really know him, but Varner had obviously done some sleuthing online to come across that stuff Zeke wrote about being trans while he was in Harvard. So what happens is Varner goes out to the island knowing this secret and figuring he's probably the only one who knows, and maybe partly thinking something like, "I have this information about Zeke and I should use it, I shouldn't go home without using this ammo I have." The problem is that it was never his place or okay to do, of course, and also that just having the info doesn't mean he should use it or that it would even be useful, but he just failed to recognize that. That theory doesn't really work, because Game Changers filmed two weeks after Millennials vs. Gen X ended, and like 4 months before Millennials vs. Gen X started airing in the USA. So they would have had no idea who Michaela and Zeke were. Varner deduced it on his own while on the island, though. If you want to see what Varner was thinking, here is his Day After video: http://d.pr/v/lp0z

On the topic of Brad, I just watched an unaired Cirie confessional about him. She's a great social player so her take is worth hearing; she says Brad tells a lot of crude jokes but he really loves his wife, so overall she's mildly positive about him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DntriRlFJyA

I doubt it's going to be a remaining original Mana Michaela/Aubry/Trozan/Hali slaughter. I think it's gonna be a Brad vs. Ozzy war Brad, Sierra, Troyzan (with Aubry and Cirie?) Ozzy, Andrea, Sarah, Zeke (with Debbie and Tai?) Who knows what Michaela and Hali are going to do.

Propaganda Machine posted:Some insider type on Reddit had a great breakdown of why the Game Changers cast was so puzzling, and part of it comes down to CBS taking charge of casting much like they do with Big Brother. They weren't happy with how Kaoh Rong went so apparently they seized about half of the casting slots and shoveled in people like Ozzy and Caleb, and also nixed people like Danni Boatright, leaving production to fill in archetypes like young hot girl with strategy brains (Hali). Do you have a link to the post on Reddit? Can't find it on the survivor subreddit edit: Also, the reason why Candice, Amanda, and Andrea are all 3-timers is obvious, and it's not because they are popular with casuals. edit2: I will defend Candice's casting by saying that she has been good entertainment each time that she has been on. She always ends up in a blood feud with somebody over some stupid poo poo and it's good TV. JesusSinfulHands fucked around with this message at 21:27 on May 13, 2017 |

ApplesandOranges posted:This season might not be as big on game-changing moves like Cambodia or even MvG, but I think a nice thing is that there haven't even been any 'down periods' so to speak. The entire pre-merge was entertaining, if nothing else. Post-merge players weren't as strong, but you can go to facepalming at Zeke's terrible plays to Debbie's terrible plays to Sierra's terrible plays. I have no doubt in my mind that a Fabio, Danni, Natalie, or Sophie is winning a All-Winners season
