Q would be a fascinating character study in a psych class.

Rubber Chicken posted:Q is a complete chaos elemental Now, will they want to keep him around after this behavior, I don't really think so. I think if they're smart they'll all pile up and split on Hunter and Q. Then if someone else thinks they're doubly smart they'll use this opportunity to try to blindside Tiff with her public idol.

Raxivace posted:I think Q is my favorite character this season. I'm not sure if he's terrible at Survivor or great at it, but he's great to watch lol. He's been pissing me off. The way he treated Bhanu was bad and arrogant with that whole Philip Shepard attempt, and that arrogance has just followed through. I agree with whoever it was during the live trial who said he's just mad he's not in absolute control. He's acting like a loving child and making me think of everything distasteful I've ever thought about real estate agents. I spent the entire episode convinced he was getting voted out just because of how much screentime he was getting and the implications of how he was thinking and behaving.

Last stop for the Tevin train, everyone off With him gone I guess it’s Tiffany or Kenzie or maybe Maria. I just don’t see anyone else, like if Liz is winning they’ve buried her harder than they buried the winner of 41 lol

blue squares posted:Bahnu: Please help me, Q, I need a coach, please I think the criticism of him being arrogant goes deeper than that. The way he just flipped on Tiff for disagreeing with him on strategy is completely arrogant. Tiff had a great point and approach for this tribal. They got the numbers and Q, being an arrogant dick, almost flipped the god damned table. If I were Tiff I would consider dragging his rear end for another day or two until I could get him out of there. He's a liability at this point.

Glad to see Tevin gone since dude just annoyed me every time he was on the screen. Felt like he was playing his personality up a bit too much for the cameras. Q throwing a tantrum sucked but overall this season has improved drastically after Bhanu got booted. Hoping it finishes strong. blue squares posted:Bahnu: Please help me, Q, I need a coach, please Telling Bhanu to be his Phillip was probably why people thought he was a little arrogant at the time. Then basically everything that's happened over the last few episodes hasn't really helped his image.

Maybe if Q had treated THE SIX like a real alliance instead of just a device for him to control things it would have held up

Q's arrogance is more evident in confessionals and what he's passing for strategy than how he talks to people directly His offered help to Bhanu was obviously self serving at that point in the game as well, admittedly to an unknown degree but I don't think that's a very good counterexample

OK well now I KNOW I should have dropped Q for Liz or Charlie. I still think Liz is getting cut in the finale but I can't believe she's suddenly in the winner conversation. Honestly I was with Ben 100% tonight. 'He can't stand that he's on the bottom' and a big lol at 'I don't care for the Shenanigans'. The pre-merge sucked, but honestly I have no idea what's going to happen next, and I can't remember the last time I said that during a season of survivor so rock on 46.

I wonder if they have few/weak applicants I think the initial part of the casting cycle more or less ends with the calendar year, but from what I've read there's a really quick turnaround on the applications that interest them. It's possible they just want to beef up the pool as much as possible, but at this point in time they should be right about to start filming so... their priorities should be elsewhere at the moment? It's curious for sure.

In case anyone's been wondering, Deal or no Deal Island has improved quite significantly! Definitely recommend watching it now if you like the Survivor formula of socialize -> challenge -> strategize -> "vote". All the players have their quirks that make them memorable, and the idea they are playing for multiple millions of dollars has started to dawn on them now. It seems like the show was intended to be a slow roll and so I take back my earlier criticism that it was confusing. In reality, it did take enough time to explain its weird concept and now is having much fun via twists so that it's not really luck-based anymore. It took a while to find its footing with editing and presentation but just now there was an advertisement for casting for a second season so let 'er rip! Welcome to the new age of oddballs hanging around on an island waiting for a million bucks! If you're curious about Rob: Yes Rob is still there! But it really doesn't feel rigged toward him or anything. He's been pretty self-aware. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Ben absolutely nailed it. Q just has such a massive ego it’s full blown narcissism. He needs to be in control which is why he keeps turning on anyone for anything and reiterating that it’s his way. So for him the worst case scenario is the entire tribe making a decision without him and him having no say in the matter. And the need to take control is so much that he was even willing to sacrifice himself just to retake control. And he gets to at least go out playing the hero in his own mind. Them all saying “gently caress you” and voting out Tevin anyway could well send him off the edge or something. Especially now that Tiff and Kenzie know he betrayed them. I have no idea how Q will manage being Venus. But on an island of unearned confidence and egos Venus just amuses me with how nothing will shake her confidence. She’s not irrational. She knows she’s on the bottom. But shes still totally sure she can run this poo poo with the right move. It amuses me. Also Liz is dying.

I was thinking back to Jeff declaring there were no quitters this season and panicking that he lied to us (LIED to us) until they all went to vote and I realized it was gonna be Tevin. I love how when people get pissed about the vote changing someone eventually says "Can we just vote out Venus" it's gotten to bit territory up there with "several"

Jeff personally would rather have actual people applying and getting on the show than the Mactors of the past. So I think it's less desperation, and just what he really wants (at the moment).

That's wild but totally believable. Wanted to fall on his own sword. My unlikely guess was that it was a power play- in his eyes anyone with him would stick with the plan, anyone against would vote Q, and he'd get his way no matter what. Loled so hard here https://i.imgur.com/n0psC65.mp4

I like the show but I disagree that they aren't rigging things considerably in Rob's favor. They heavily weighed things for him to take the deal when he played (75% chance of being right, when generally people get 50% or maybe 66%), they paid two players on the opposite side of the game to leave, and they had the non-elimination episode which benefited him. I doubt they want him to win, but they definitely want him in the game as long as possible to keep eyes on the show.

Rubber Chicken posted:Q is a complete chaos elemental Forget J'Tia and Chaos Kass, Q has set the bar. I agree with the observations here. I remember saying two things during that tribal to my fiance; one was 'his control complex is so bad that he'll jump of a bridge before you have a chance to push him, just so he can tell himself 'I was in control of that choice' before he hits the ground,' and the other is 'he seriously needs to be medically pulled and put in the care of a psychiatrist.' Like, I genuinely wonder if he went off of some meds to be on the show or something. I do, however, agree with his anger about the challenge. They just watched Hunter hang out in a tree basically for fun, so maybe go ahead and assume that the challenge itself is a foregone conclusion, and you're not giving up anything you had a realistic shot at getting. That said, Venus almost pulled it off, so.....

And for the first time in the game she was right about something! She had a good enough chance at the challenge not to step out for rice and she was right to think she might be in need of that immunity.

There's a lot of debate this week that Q asking everyone to vote him out was "strategy." The main evidence is he said in confessional that one time that he was setting Kenzie up for a blindside by telling her he'd go out next, so that it's something he's been thinking about as a "move" for awhile. Rob C. posted a twitter poll and 55% voted "strategy." What that strategy would be nobody can really express. Rob speculated maybe he saw the 6 was done what with Maria and Charlie targeting Tevin and realized he needed to pivot back to Tiff and Kenzie but that he'd already leaked her idol information, so he wanted to remove that misstep from the game by asking her to play it on him after getting the votes pointed his way. Sounds like major fan fiction to me. I'm way more on the page that this thread seems to be on, with one little wrinkle. Remember when he let his tribe down throwing stuff in a challenge and came back saying they should just vote him out? He's already demonstrated he has that dramatic fall-on-my-sword type of mindset. In addition to the stuff about being upset about not being in control, which I think was also a factor, I think he also felt responsible for Tevin going, when he was loyal to the 6, and was trying to self-sacrifice for that reason. He's literally talked about doing that exact thing before on his original tribe!

IMO, I think Q got upset that he didn't like they would know he was the one that "instrumented" the vote out this time. It hurt his ego that he would be known as "the bad guy." Now, why they all kept him? Uh..maybe they all want a piece of that fashion line he's coming up with.

This was such a refreshing and insightful moment from Ben. I actually couldn't place what Q's goal was with that move until Ben said it in plain language. It was a tantrum.

Now, why they all kept him? I think it's as simple as him being much less dangerous than Tevin. Edit: how's everybody doing with their fantasy teams? Because I'm screwed. I have a good amount of points for now but my bench is now Tim, Tevin, and Q. Propaganda Machine fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Apr 19, 2024 |
