I listened to the Mike Bloom interviews and Hunter seems pretty cool. Apparently he declined med school or something in order to be a teacher, and he runs Survivor-like games for the kids. The other one that stood out to me was Venus. she saw Survivor HvV and Cagayan or whatever pop up on Netflix and decided to watch Survivor, but was like, screw that i'm starting at the beginning I'm not watching these, and went in order from s1, and she's really analytically minded. but honestly I feel like in the current era looking like she does people will always say "Parvati black widow" and try to vote her out. Mostly the interviews are just good for having some idea who people are when the show starts so it's not a bunch of random people you can't keep track of. I don't think I actually can tell who is going to be a mess based on the interviews, and they were a bit long and a lot to get through this year too. one funny thing is there's this completely normal seeming white man, Charlie, so he's just made his personality being a Taylor Swift fan. It's more common than you might think! Liz seems the most likely to be the "wacky one," maybe some Soda too Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Feb 28, 2024 |

I like that he aggressively volunteered for both things he quit Though to be fair, he did get a bad draw in that game. When Maria raised the stakes like that she put him in a pretty bad spot. The turbo quit in the first brawn task was way way worse. You volunteer for that you have to go all the way til the last grain of sand falls even if you know you’re losing. For the boat ride story he should’ve thrown Maria under the bus and said she killed the game by saying if the skull person played it as designed she’d have a vendetta against them Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Well I think Jelinsky is physically stronger and better socially. Like if you try to talk to Jess and just can’t get a conversation going that hurts a lot. We saw Kenzie talking about how mom-committal she was before and making fun of her before. I’d vote out Jelinsky but still Train wreck tribe where Bhanu crying all the time is easily at the top of the tribe Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Feb 29, 2024 |

TheCenturion posted:I mean, I was taught that: But what's so funny is that Jelinsky was reaching for this excuse in the first place, like he'd done an occular assessment of the task and a mental calculation so that he knew exactly how long it would take before even starting and seeing the buckets in action, and he knew ahead of time that he could affirmatively complete the challenge in "several" hours, hence his putting his hand up, but then they yanked the rug out from under him by making it 4.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:metallica guy cool, good vibes But Charlie and Maria are running that tribe and got a Malcolm/Denise flashback so uhh I think they're going deep together. Kinda lean toward Moriah or Jem going home first from there. obliriovrons posted:I thought Tevin was great last week but being kind of an rear end in a top hat about Venus this episode Meanwhile for the purple tribe, man Jess really was not cut out for this game. It was pretty sad to watch her fumble Kenzie's lifeline and just generally being so helpless. Bhanu is intense, probably kind of sweet but a total mess. As hard as it is to believe I think this tribe actually did make a mistake cutting Jelinsky first. At least you could string him along and he'd be confident riding with you. There's absolutely no way they can work with Bhanu beyond that TC.

Jess seemed to spend most of her time just kind of in a daze. we know from her own words she wasn’t sleeping. She never talked strategy with anyone really. The fake idol was pretty pointless and it was hard to watch her struggle for so long last episode. honestly they should NOT have voted out Kenzie instead of Jess, if anything they should’ve voted out Jess instead of Jelinsky. I hoped maybe she’d get her feet under her with some time but that wasn’t the case. She just wasn’t cut out for the island She did say in exits that she was super excited to see Kenzie on her tribe and felt it wasn’t reciprocated so that’s why she was giving Kenzie nothing but idk. Seems like she didn’t give anyone much. Interesting thing of the Kenzie Q divide is I thought they were both tight with Tiff. Since the rest of the tribe is being voted out they should’ve been a nice trio by swap/merge instead of worrying about each other so much

Her putting the buff on the idol was exactly the kind of silly bonding thing everyone should’ve been having fun with and he just straight up rolled his eyes at it, pretty rude.

It damages the sanctity of the game if someone has to leave the island for a quick scan but the sanctity is cool with a player leaving the game without being voted out due to medical reasons and then their allies being left in the lurch and the state of the game being upended. And also is fine with someone losing their vote until they say "Broccoli is like tiny trees." (Rob was guessing on the podcast it was for insurance reasons but I think he's way off... like they can leave Matthew out there with his shoulder falling off but if you get someone scanned and clear them for return then the production would be at risk of a lawsuit, he thought? Doesn't hold up for me.)

Bhanu was completely unable to play survivor. jelinsky was delusional but probably shouldve outlasted both these two. Oh and throw in a medevac (of a guy with an idol!!) for good measure.

STAC Goat posted:So I guess if I blame anyone/anything maybe it’s the whole thing where they take away their flint. That’s just more misery and stress on top of a situation that has enough. Also Jess was worse than you’re saying I think, she was sleep deprived but she also was bringing nothing to conversations going back to day 1-2 before that would’ve really set in. Everyone was already saying you couldn’t talk to her. Bhanu, yeah maybe the losing and the group he was with broke him a bit but I also think production probably liked this and thought it was gold, hence the amount of space in the edit he got. Fans swooning over Carolyn when she was at her most dysfunctional probably encouraged them

Oh also Jeff takes the flint away because he's trying to compensate for the game being 3 weeks long now so he can still say it's hard, so it's like one bad thing compounding into another. I know people that don't watch Australian Survivor are tired of hearing about it but it's really whiplash to go from one of the best seasons of all time to the worst opening series of episodes of all time.

The 2024 all newbie one that just completed airing, Titans vs Rebels. The returnee season that just preceded it, the Australian Heroes vs Villains, was also an all-time season so they're on a serious hot streak. Both are top ten ever including all franchises in many peoples opinion (including mine). HvV was kind of an unofficial successor to another all newbie Australian season, Brains vs brawn, another great season too. Mostly safe to ignore the blood vs water season wedged in the middle of these four seasons, though

I was gonna say you could start on 15 (China) and then hit Micronesia at 16 and cruise right up to 20. I don't think most of Micronesia's important players really have important first seasons. This path would hit China, Micronesia, Gabon (lol), Toctantins, Samoa, and then HvV.

Well, that was fun getting a tribe other than Yanu for a change. I think Jem was pretty clumsy at the game. Her uncomfortable chats with some of the guys probably is what tipped Maria to letting her go. Even her saying she was going to go idol hunt, it was ballsy and it worked and got her the idol but it seemed kind of weird to do. Venus seemed pretty awkward too in her interaction with Hunter. Breaching strategy chat sometimes is just hard. It seems like Q was successful with it though with people he only just met! Interesting call for Maria not to tell Mo about the vote… I feel like you wanna do that….

Her lying wasn't that strong either. "What? What beware advantage?" She did get around to the direct denials after that but it was a stumble. I feel like so often people either don't just deny directly at all, instead saying something like "How could you even ask that?" or they go "What??" as their initial few replies before getting around to answering. I mean, an honest person can be incredulous and say "what" but it ought to be followed by an "absolutely not" and not a need for the other person to clarify something obvious they just said, as if they haven't all been digging for the beware advantage for days. "What beware advantage" nah. So if Tim is already suspecting her and then she starts going around saying "so who are you voting for I uhh need to know" that's a tipoff. Even more than that, though, even if they still think Tim had it, we saw Maria telling Charlie that "Jem will stick with us," and if Charlie can then say back, "You know she came to all the men and said she'd vote with us if we gave her a name?" Then it's kind of like, "okay forget it, let's keep Ben." I actually thought Ben was gonna be the one to go and was thinking how unlucky he was since I hadn't seen him do much wrong. Jem earned it more and got it.Teek posted:The vote style change up was good on Maria’s part, not sure it was really worth to play the extra vote though. Was she really hedging that the guys may not vote Jem? Saving it for merge seems like it might have had more value. Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Mar 28, 2024 |

i just now got around to hearing Rob speculate that maybe also that vote flipped against Jem when Tim got back from the journey and said, "Hey Maria, I just got you into a 6-person alliance for merge." Don't wanna do a split on Tim/Ben after that. Another random thought was that Jem leaving out that beware advantage, if she did actually get away with it and put suspicion on Tim, made people think they can't vote Tim and had better split onto Ben or just vote Ben, made Charlie say hey I really don't want to lose Ben, made Jem go
