Another Bill posted:Jackson definitely had agency over his own story being told, to be clear. Hey, can't get answers if you're not allowed to ask questions. Like has been discussed, it's fascinating to see how these social issues have evolved on twenty years of Survivor, a microcosm of American society.

I think they should be allowed to do drugs on survivor, which woulda let Jackson stay, and would make for a lot of interesting show moments. If nothing else, the psychoactive drug alcohol has been voluntarily administered to players before and I always wondered why they didn't leave booze filled coconuts around like easter eggs for the survivors to stumble into.

Survivor but set up like the early series' of UK Big Brother where the house was specifically designed to get someone to gently caress on live TV.

They can take prescription drugs, but it has to be disclosed and approved (if there's something that wouldn't do well in the circumstances, they'll drop someone). The problem is, applicants (probably rightly) fear that they're less likely to get cast if they reveal any sort of risk like a prescription drug, and are less likely to disclose it. Lithium is not a great example though, because as far as I know it's Super Hard and Dangerous to wean someone off of it, and requires testing in like, extreme Survivoresque circumstances. I actually think Jackson could've made it onto a later season had he been more forthcoming about not being able to get off of Lithium, but I'm just watching from the sidelines.

Withholding information from Medical that leads to an evacuation instead of a replacement is imo going to keep him 1000% out. Him being on the show might push more trans applicants though, which would be Cool and Good.

I had no idea Lithium was a drug people were prescribed. I was confused for a while and thought Jackson was saying he was a drug addict and I was imagining he sucked on batteries to chase a high. Like when he talked about wanting to be open about it to deal with stigmatization that reinforced that for me because I don't really think of prescribed drugs as being stigmatized. Unless you're addicted to them but even then that is way less stigmatized than doing almost any other drug.

Come to think of it, I vaguely recall part of a radiolab on it and my takeaway at the time that lasted till now is that it's a really cool element and seems extremely helpful for mental health meds https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/lithium i think veganism gets a pass in survival situation and probably survival show, one rando lobster is a way different act of meat eating than participating in industrial death Khanstant fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Mar 17, 2022 |

Well there was Zeke... even though I guess he maybe wasn't open about it until Varner was a shithead... Honestly don't remember any Survivor confessionals ever to know when exactly he opened up. I think there is likely a 0% chance they will have Jackson back on in the future, I imagine they spend quite a bit of time & money getting Survivor players ready for the game and the producers are likely not too happy with the situation.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Well there was Zeke... even though I guess he maybe wasn't open about it until Varner was a shithead... Honestly don't remember any Survivor confessionals ever to know when exactly he opened up. Yeah people 'knew' about Zeke on the internet via sleuthing but it wasn't common knowledge til Varner, and Game Changers was right after MvG so I think the players didn't really get a chance to watch the season anyway. Anyway, liked the episode. Omar/Jonathan could be a really good duo. I think Lindsay should be concerned, even if they go for an obvious Maryanne boot next then she's the boot after. If Maryanne tells her about the extra vote it might be smart to use that to get a 3-2 advantage to knock one of the boys off.

Fantasy Update! Not a whole lot of shifting around! There are only 5 teams left that have their entire roster intact. Teams are now locked and will likely stay that way for a bit until there's a major event. But, you can still activate up to 5 players and bench 3 each week. Good episode! Though I'm really starting to hate the beware advantage. As Maryanne said, desperate players go looking for idols. It sucks that if you're in a position of desperation, and you find an idol at the 11th hour, you're essentially even more screwed than you were. Omar's stock continues to rise. I don't see a way that he at least doesn't merge, hard to see him missing the finale as well.

Did they ever explain what happens if one of the three Beware Passphrase Idol holders is voted out? Are the other two totally hosed and lose their vote until merge? Or do they only need to now say two phrases? Or does the idol go back into play for someone else to discover?

I thought last season you had to say the phrase every immunity challenge, no choice. Did that change, or am I misremembering? I still don’t like “you win immunity plus the biggest prize.” Really keeps winners winning and losers losing. Make three good prizes, and winner gets first pick.

Yeah, it's a problem imo. It's making things far more scripted than they should be. Even last season with the knowledge is power advantage and "they have to tell you if they have an advantage" like ok, what if they don't? Does Jeff come up and wrestle it out of their hands? It's dumb and bad. I'm not one to complain about twists and advantages as a rule. Some of these are just poorly constructed, though. Like I think the idol nullifier is generally not good but i don't complain about it or mind it cos it at least makes sense and fits. But yeah, this poo poo is generally too cute.
