Propaganda Machine, this link you shared was great, something about this ancient rear end website full of old drama is also just magical in its own right. I clicked a link and started to read someone's fan fiction of an all-stars season in Alaska haha. I do wonder if moves like that are called on the fly or if they set up what week they want to pull twists on ahead of time.

Pony: the hot one
Poison: Keith because all Keiths lose, v cursed name

This would have been great to have handy as I was going through those seasons, the sass is great and it's got ~vintage~ net gossip about the show and production drama.

"John Carroll started Marquesas as an anonymous male nurse on Tribe Rotu. And he ended it (seven episodes later) with the most spectacular downfall the show has ever seen. He became the first alliance leader to give away his numerical advantage, he became the first victim of the now-famous "coconut chop" strategy trap, and he had one of the most epic storylines I have ever seen on Survivor."

From that ancient survivor site, I just want to know what "coconut chop" strategy means.

Ahh, okay, totally know what you mean. I guess I would've just called it by a pecking-order challenge. Those are always fun, that's a really good shake-up trick from the production side. I definitely like it more than the anonymous-questionnaire where they gang up on some chick to call her a lsut or whatever, those are usually just mean and mostly ends up singling out one person more than the peckin order.

It was mostly a joke, sorry.

I guess I really liked most of the cast but not the gameplay. I found myself pulling my hair a lot of the time. Again, I think part of what makes it look so good is the crud we've gotten used to.

FWIW, I'm still working through the old seasons and haven't gotten to this current era stuck in the same island yet and I thought DvG was good without knowing what kind of crud I'll eventually get used to.

Bought my goddamn CBS All access subscription. I wonder how long after you cancel they offer up the "no pls come back for 3 months 4 free" kind of thing. At least I can double dip and catch Discovery.

Jeff did his 39 day speach standing in a field instead of on a cliff or something. Off to a bad start.

Was it last season where he was on a copter leaning all casual on the outside of it shouting? That one was dope and the attached season was too.

I signed up last year and watched like 10 seasons in a month but never once got a “baby come back” email after canceling.

I had it for 1-2 when Discovery season 1 came out, then maybe 1 more when the second part of season 1 did. I got some sort of baby come back offer for a few months free or cheap or something but I declined because I had already tried to see if there was anything else I'd watch on it.

i had a car commercial and it reminds me of when they would give a car away and also that time someone could have given 4 cars away but didnt but then it was okay they found a way to offload them anyway in the reunion show

I stalled on my binge because 20something seasons in like a month and a half was too much

ummmm I think I missed the part where this guy justified being called wardog

I'm not willing to give up reward challenges but that does sound significantly more entertaining than the hideous Redemption Island arena challenges.

Oh man, I forgot how they shortchange us cool challenges to watch like ozzy play with himself for 6 episodes in a row. I hope they proceed as normal for as long as possible without them knowing about extinction island and it only comes up like a coupla times.

edit: This Worlds Best show is really fuckin weak, is this their first episode?? First up is like the most basic rear end magician??

My guess is they have the means to build a shelter and fish and stuff but for one or two hungry people its gonna be hard. Especially since the early people voted out don't tend to be the "hunter/gatherer" types.

As long as food rationing isn't a major thing life probably gets progressively easier the more people who show up.

The fact that broheim shows up and is apparently the first one to grab the fishing gear and try and go catch some little babyfish seems to indicate Keith and Reem are just scrub survivors. I can totally see them just laying about in the basic shelture structure they started with, starving themselves until the cast legally has to give them some amount of food and water. I also thought it was funny how much was trying to be like "you can't sit with us karen" but instantly turned around the second she saw he had brought food. Broheim was chill about it, seemed like he already figured out these 3 are going to have to end up as a crew of misfits by necessity anyway. It's more funny that Reem is trying to gatekeep at all.

Regarding Wendy, seems like she could set herself up as a carry if she managed to actually build some loyalties with at least 2 people. If her tribe can avoid enough tribals before merge, seems like they'll find a person or two to blindside first.

We have no idea how much Reem or Keith might have tried to fish or anything else. We just know Chris was successful. Most Survivors just seem woefully unsuccessful at fishing. And Keith can't even swim. They're clearly sucky Survivors but not necessarily for lack of effort.

Also I thought Reem was pretty clearly defending Chris to Keith the morning after he showed how. She said something like "he's just processing it all". They just gave him some light poo poo about being backstabbed considering he had outed them. It seemed pretty good natured to me.

I don't even like them but none of that felt super fair.

I just rewatched it and you're right, it was more Keith being bitter and Reem was actually just peacekeeping. I think I am just desperate for drama and blew up that situation in my head. Thanks for calling me out, that wasn't fair.
