Well they couldn't do Heroes vs. Villains vs. Coach now could they? Actually a giant statue of Coach sounds perfect.

Fast Luck posted:Is that what people were referencing when they were mad at him for wasting time? I didn’t know what they were talking about and was thinking something wasn’t shown. I also was (and remain) confused. Though it would be uncharacteristically bad editing for them not to show it, and nothing else even comes close. Also anyone on the team had somewhere they could've saved three seconds, can't hang it all on one team member. Even if he's otherwise a jackass.

Sandra quit, but in the least meaningful and most understandable way possible. If she wasn't in the game then she and I have that in common, and I'm sitting on my couch watching.

Obviously it means he had a single chaste poster on his bedroom wall to remind him only of her strategic prowess. Maybe it's an autographed single chaste poster, signed in her obviously very girly handwriting.

You're not wrong that there's a million twists now, but there's still one consistent way to get them while stuck at camp: find a lil package hidden nearby.

I like not having all the rules laid out, it's fun to watch. And they don't know there's going to be one immunity necklace up for grabs at tomorrow's challenge, that's an assumption too. One with a ton of precedent, sure, but that's what makes a twist a twist. I'd probably choose sleep too, but not even considering the possibility of an idol seems pretty dumb, and is an indictment of the players more than production.

Also, Redemption Island didn't become the jury. It's a bit weird to have one half of the jury know about Edge and the other half know about the tribe with little overlap. Though I guess it's not much different from spending post-merge in Ponderosa before casting a jury vote. Difference of magnitude but maybe not end result.

mancalamania posted:Is the coin played before or after the votes are cast? It sounds like before which makes it even less powerful (since even if she's safe the majority can still switch their votes and decide who goes home). My guess is that the coin flip and the two-piece idols form something of a theme of shared information: you get an idol but you have to tell someone. For two-piece, sure you can give half to someone and get it right back, but now they know you have one. For coin flip, everyone gets to see you're attempting to play an idol and feel scorned that you didn't tell them. Standard idols just hide in your pocket, sometimes having literally zero effect on the game when e.g. some injury-prone chump goes home with two unplayed. (I admit it's a loose connection.) Invalid Validation posted:I dunno, everyone says there’s tons of strategy but most of the time I just think it’s pure luck you end up in the final three. It's assumed (probably correctly) that nobody wants to watch a weekly three hour supercut of groups of 2-5 people sitting around fire/water/sand talking strategy. We see bits and pieces, we find out after the fact from interviews etc., but yeah going strictly by what's aired it can seem pretty arbitrary. To be fair, most if not all winners admit to luck playing a major role in their victory. I don't know if we've seen enough repeat players to say whether better players tend to win over time.

Pinterest Mom posted:I will accept the weird editing that leaves us in the dark about who the pivotal players are and how and why they're making decisions if the producers, who clearly are taking inspiration from the Genius, give us an Extreme Ways montage when it's revealed at final five that Jeremy and Kim or whoever have been masterminding the entire game together all along. Agreed. I would also like fire tokens to have even a tenth the impact on Survivor as garnets did on The Genius. Otherwise they're just a waste of time. And I wouldn't fault them for trying it just to have fire tokens not really matter, but then you chop it down in the edit bay.

It always seemed so lopsided that Amazing Race challenges take maybe a couple hours if you're really bad at them, while you can end up twelve hours behind if you miss the last ferry (which players may not even know is a thing until they arrive). Might be interesting if they flipped it, with some challenges keeping teams in one place for like two days. Could also bring some interesting interactions if they go to the same idk streetside pretzel vendor for four straight meals. I also find it impossible to play along with Amazing Race. And I don't need much, I'm not someone who presses pause and takes out a pencil and paper during each episode of The Genius (no judgement!). But the viewer is so unbelievably passive in AR. You can't play along with the challenges because they're either physical or you see the answer as part of the explanation. Gameplay seems to stop at "who should we u-turn?", which can be interesting but again we see the answer three seconds later with little explanation. There's nothing to talk about if you're watching together and nothing to think about if you're alone. I haven't watched in a few seasons so maybe it's changed, and I certainly don't begrudge anyone's enjoyment. Mostly I just get frustrated at what feels like a squandered premise.

Tribal whispering is fine when the show does something with it. If you watch an episode where the two swing votes are deciding down to the last minute, seem to make their decision, then those two people start a lil whisper session at tribal, that's suspenseful. Or if there's a big whisper flare-up but Jeff grills them at tribal for another two hours until they explain, maybe that's ok. When the entire tribal goes into whisper mode, it means everything we've seen so far is suddenly in question. But we barely saw anything this episode, and the multiple advantages already mean it's kinda up in the air. This big whisper session is just poking the viewer in the eye and saying "now you really, really, really don't know!" Which... yeah, we don't know because you didn't show us, and did nothing clever with the edit.
