James is also smart enough that it seems to impede on his social skills somewhat (I don't know why that's even a thing but it's something I've noticed in general). I could see him either flaming out early or having a Spenceresque journey of growth.

His technique was really bad, yeah. I never took lessons or anything, but he was almost doing bellyflops when he needed to get down head first, so no momentum plus tons of horizontal surface area made for a bad time.

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, he gave me the vibe of the kind of guy who has an idea of how well he's going to play or lead or something and if it doesn't work out he won't handle it well. Not necessarily the sort of brash, arrogant "leader" that Chris came off as. More like the kind of Andrew Savage on Pearl Islands thing. He doesn't strike me as wanting to lead or being too inflexible, more that he'd say really dumb poo poo to people without even realizing what he'd done wrong or second guessing it.

TMMadman posted:One thing that people seem to forget or are afraid to do is exhale while being underwater. When you hold your breath you tense up and don't release the build up of CO2 in your lungs. That buildup is what is actually making you feel uncomfortable when holding your breath, not a lack of oxygen. On a short dive like in that challenge, you want to hold your breath to start the initial dive and then slowly exhale (or in a few bursts) as you swim down to do the task. Thanks for the reply I didn't have the expertise for. Echoing once again that James had horrible form, even for a novice. The buoyancy of the human body is important to remember because your lungs are basically gigantic balloons. For example, when I saw Titanic with family as a wee one, my PT aunt was up in arms in the car because Jack actually should have floated; he'd died breathing.

Lone Goat posted:Weird that they swapped to two 9s instead of three 6s. I like it. The dynamics on purple right now are a lot more fun than when you have stragglers and pairs languishing on their new tribes of six. And the new oranges from purple are screwed enough with their crappy new camp, it's nice nobody has to start from scratch.

I think Dom went on the show with the singular goal of making a fake idol. I have no idea how people still think they're getting away with that idiocy. People aren't stupid.

A Typical Goon posted:Why did the old orange tribe do their own thing and not get rid of Angela? I guess this could split the old purple tribe but it seems more likely that it’ll cause them to team up and make it a 4 and 4 split Dom freaked them out with idol chat. Since Dom wanted them to vote Angela and James was concerned about the possibility of Dom's legit idol, it had to be between Morgan and Wendell.

I'm her resident apologist, but I'd love to see her in a normal game with not-Russell. She gave really good indications of knowing what she was doing, but next to that turkey it was nigh on impossible to make an impression one way or the other.

No, we didn't hear about that angle until tribal. It almost makes me think that he came up with it on the way or something. He was clearly excited for the chance to grandstand like that.

How not to win Survivor: force a tribemate to drop trou within the first 3(? 6?) days because you have idol paranoia.

If nothing else, it's not worth watching game changers unless you've seen enough prior seasons to have some context for the characters.

I'd love the one world concept with having everybody on the same tribe for the first few votes, followed by a tribe division of some kind. Also, for Asian American ladies, it's a bit obscure but I loved Michelle in Fiji. She had a fun personality and was a good player who got dryfucked by one of the worst twists Survivor has ever pulled.

Thailand was the first season I didn't watch live, and I think it was just kind of a boring season on top of a television concept that looked like its time was near. There was bad juju on both pre-merge tribes, a morally repugnant winner, and straight up bad gameplay towards the end. There was also a bit of a mess with the jury talking about one of the finalists being a racist rear end in a top hat without much proof, which likely sealed the deal for the winner. But at least Ted was 150-200% satisfied with his wife.

If nothing else, at least Ghost Island all but forced them to cast more actual fans of the show. I'm sure they're talking about it, but we very rarely get to see it if they're planning for it.

Good editing. I really liked him, though Edit: I think they cut the conversation between Michael and the Navitis, almost certainly Kellyn. He seemed to strike a deal last week, so my bet is they're promising him security over people like Chris and Domenick. Propaganda Machine fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Mar 29, 2018 |

The Bloop posted:Her return season iirc she was alone at her tribes camp I hate that I know this, but in her first season she was the last remaining member of her pre-merge tribe after no swaps or anything, the one and only time that's happened. She was brought back the next season and ran the table strategically, but pissed people off and lost to bitter tears.

Rarity posted:As I recall it Libby tried (admittedly, badly) to save Morgan but her tribe weren't swayed and she understandably went with the numbers. It's not like she was the driving force in knifing Morgan in the back. To me it sounded like it came from a sexist 'all hot women are trying to deceive you' place. My Natalie White apologism is coming in usefully, I suppose. Where she bonded casually with the Galus on a human level, it seemed like Libby extorted everything she had with Morgan (namely the Catholocism). Again with the 72 hours of gameplay per 42 minute episode, Morgan seemed like a cool, rational enough player that Libby must have carved something deep to elicit the reaction Morgan gave on her way out. It's not a stretch to figure that the impression that Libby gave to Morgan rubbed off on Dom (and maybe Wendell, I guess) and left a sour taste in the mouth. I understand the argument of "the shrill female," but in this case it's a narrative they've been building, however subtly.

They don't know that. I'm all for the whinefest about how females don't "get to" play the same game guys do, but if you're spending enough time building enough false hope to get a vote-out reaction like Libby did, I'm going to assume she personally went too far.

STAC Goat posted:I wanna say it was Chris, Angela, Chelsea, and Sebastian which is why the latter two were kind of on the outs with Bradley, Kellyn, and Desiree after the swap. But I might be totally make that up. And I don't remember any of those three being especially close to Domenick. They also never had to go to tribal, so we missed any voting drama and the vast majority of any politicking they did. Hopefully that stuff will surface when Navitis finally have to give exit interviews.
