As far as RHAP goes I really enjoyed The Evolution of Strategy audio books they did (Really glorified podcasts) about Seasons 1-30 but 1) They're not free, though there are sample chapters available you can check out and 2) It really depends on how much of Josh Wigler you can take.

Yeah, I like Kim but I’d like to see what she can do against actual competition. Like who would you even say was the next best player from One World? Maybe Tarzan?

I wonder how scared people are and should be of Denise. Anyone that survived literally every single tribal council in their season seems like they should be a force to reckoned with anyways, even if she doesn't have as big a reputation as the more famous or recent winners.

Amber said in one of the ET Canada interviews that she doesn't want to work with Sandra though, curiously enough. drat, S40 can't some soon enough.

I think the point of the criticism against Kim isn't the poker game itself, but rather that she wasn't able to take control of the tribe upfront and then just shut down anyone that might have tried to use the poker game against her. Like the way people were shutting Kim out of conversations in this ep really stands in contrast to Rob on the other tribe, who not only somehow got Ben to babble on about Danni throwing his name out there but got Danni to admit it and also seemingly recruited her onto his side somehow too.

That Know-It-Alls was a mess. Everyone was chattering in the background, a few people that came up to speak hadn't even watched the drat episode, and in the live stream the audio cut out about an hour in. Shane was gold though.

Earl was apparently considered to be on S40, but he didn't feel it was right to go because of his newborn daughter.Earl Cole posted:I did talk to a few winners beforehand, but I knew I wasn't going. My daughter had just got out of the hospital, after being in there for 3 months! I was in serious dad mode. No time to go play a game, no matter how special the season. I would have liked to see Earl again, though I have a lot of nostalgic attachment to his season in general. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Feb 19, 2020 |

Honestly the reason I enjoy watching Rob is because his emperor/mafia don style of play either blows up spectacularly or is bizarrely effective. Like its still kind of crazy to me that for all of the times he's played, unless he makes the final 3 this season this will probably be the first time he sits on a jury.

Russell is also incredibly charismatic...to the audience (Significantly less so to his fellow competitors, which is why I think he's such a polarizing figure). In comparison someone like Victoria is just kind of cardboard and bland, and not all that engaging to watch.

Sometimes you make massive, huge mistakes and don't get punished for them. RIP Ethan, you are now officially my number one rooting interest to return to the game. Like I'm as bummed as everyone else to see Ethan gone so early, but perhaps it should have been expected that he would get hit by stray fire when he attached himself to two of the three players with the absolute biggest targets on their backs of the whole season.

HvV is a good setup because it was a good excuse to drag Colby out there again and it's by far his most batshit and therefore best season.

I wouldn't really call that second idol a waste either- for all Denise knew Sandra's team was targeting Jeremy anyways, which would still be bad for Denise even if she made it through tonight's vote. If they go to tribal again before the merge at least its 2-2 now instead of 3-1, and with nullifiers in play its not like a single idol is a guarantee to survive a 3-1 scenario. Anyways I'm just lol'ing at Sandra getting voted out with her own idol over here. That's like some HvV Tyson or HvV JT poo poo right there. I love Survivor.

Lt Jon Kavanaugh posted:I think it's one of the dumbest moves we've ever seen. Not quite an Erik level move, probably more around the JT level. From the moment Sandra brought the idea up to Denise there was no way it could possibly end with anyone else going home. Like are two fire tokens really worth that much?

When I watched Survivor Borneo a few years ago, I was surprised by how much of Lost's language felt like came straight out of it, like Probst talking about what "the Island" as a entity wanted and such. Was kind of interesting since it seems like Survivor dropped that kind of talk relatively quickly while Lost kind of kept it throughout most of its run.

I think the thing is that when people fantasized about Kim winning before, they were imagining her doing cool mastermind poo poo and not simply going under the radar and just being the least objectionable person at the end. Or at least, the latter is my read on what Kim is trying to do to scrape by at the moment. That's a totally legit way to win the game and if Kim wins by doing that she deserves her win by definition, its just not the most exciting kind of win in the world.

I think its a mistake to assume any EoE returnee would be a zero vote finalist unless they've really gone out of their way to piss people off. They're probably still going to get at least some votes just because they suffered with the jury themselves for at least some amount of time. It just seems safer to vote off EoE returnees ASAP, especially if its someone like Rob who you know has at least one guaranteed vote in Amber. e;fb

I didn't have any problem with the existence of the coin, though four Fire Tokens seems like steep price for an advantage that isn't even guaranteed to activate when you want it to, and that's even assuming you know when to play it correctly.

If you're Michelle and you're offered the coin for four tokens, it just seems like it would be better to hold out for an advantage that sucks less since the odds of even using the coin effectively seem to actually be pretty low. Even in a best (Worst) case scenario where you're 100% certain the votes are coming onto you, the coin still is at best is only 50% likely to do what you even want it to. Now if the coin had cost, say, two tokens I could understand jumping on it. Four tokens just seems like a lot for something kind of janky.
