I quite liked the David/Goliath theme as a framing for class divide. Certainly works a lot better than the whole White Collar vs Blue Collar thing. Johnny Nitro straight up dropkicking a woman in the face is my jam, even though it shouldn't be

Jess/Carl/Davie/Bi had no right to be that shocked. It looked like they were all blindly assuming that nobody was playing the game yet and Lyrsa was gonna just go out without a fight.

It looks like Gabby's got some serious anxiety she's dealing with, which isn't exactly her fault but isn't really that great for playing Survivor.

God I really hope Vuku turn around, throw the next challenge and kick Alec's butt out so fast. I don't even dislike him or anything, I just think it would be hilarious. I was delighted that after Gabby's breakdown she immediately got a challenge where she could be the standout hero and create a bonding moment with her tribemates. And I'm thrilled to see the Slamtown City Council coming into full effect

That makes as much sense as a 5 year old throwing colours at a wall  Based on the edit, I'd say the merge will breakdown to a Tiva + the Rock Stars majority.

Earlier in the thread I said Angelina was like Parvati without the social awareness. I would now like to revise this description to she's like Parvati if she was a total moron.

This season continues to deliver hard. Those episodes worked great as a two parter into how Carl hosed his own game. It's rare that they get to go that in-depth into this so I found it really interesting. In other news: Christian talking Alec into submission is everything  Nick is looking more and more like the winner every episode. With that idol and bigger threats out there he's looking set. Angelina gets more and more ridiculous and I can't wait for her final tribal performance. I'm really glad that Gabby realises she needs to take Christian out. I don't think he'd be bitter about it either cause he's such a logical guy he'd get why she had to do it.

STONE COLD 64 posted:i feel like alison is doing a lot to Survive but not enough moves to Win, but at the same time with how everything is unfolding i think this could be another season where it's less about Moves and more about relationship with the jury. look who is getting stacked up there. it really does feel like this is one of those seasons where if she doesn't go soon, and with how everything split off today, and her narrative since the Dan episode, she could just slide right into the final three and be a dark horse to win over the jury if the other two are just people who put more work into The Game than building bonds. Allison winning an Allison/Gabby/Angelina final 3 doesn't seem that impossible actually

Gabby was right in needing to turn on Christian. Maybe wrong about the timing but right that it needed to happen. And it's not about big moves or resumés, it's the sheer fact that she (or anyone) doesn't win if they're sat next to him.

Khanstant posted:What do you mean by this? I'm watching this season right now, I know she wins but how was it rigged for her? Also, I think I really like this season. It's pretty funny, all of these blindsides with people who have idols, and one massive goober who wins immunity and gives it up just as a gesture of goodwill even though he is the obvious target. One of the dumbest things I've seen so far but also one of the best darkside plays. Micronesia is amazing, the Black Widow alliance rules and it's a crime that Natalie has never had a spot on a returnee season.

I think what went wrong for the Davids is that when they came back from being in the minority they took out all of the Goliaths major players and in the process turned themselves into threats so as soon as they were back even they self-imploded. I don't see that happening if there was still an Alec or a Jon in the game to rally against.

Oh god Angelina is just the worst Solid finale without being spectacular. The fire challenge at F4 isn't just bad for strategy, it's boring as hell to watch in the moment as well. Wentworth!

Spokes posted:I'm glad Nick won; I think he played the best game. But I'm also kind of glad there was minimal talk of how million-dollar Mike White didn't need to/shouldn't win. Hopefully we're just beyond that at this point but I guess we won't know for sure until it actually comes up in a future season. Sorry, I think you'll find it was conclusively proven earlier in this thread that juries will never give the win to millionaires,

Khanstant posted:Why is Rob C considered the best player to never win the game? I'm pretty sure I saw his seasons, and even once I figured out Rob C was the one with the podcast and rep, not Rob M, I didn't see it, I barely remember him at all. At some point I guess I can go re-re-watch it, but his lack of memorability is why I've never checked his podcast. He pretty much invented the idea of alliance-switching in Amazon

Shipwrecked really isn't a Survivor analogue so don't go into it expecting it to scratch that itch. It's basically 'watch a bunch of pretty people on a tropical island engage in typical British reality show bullshit'
