She just was really bad at jumping and couldn’t get enough lift to ever succeed on the challenge they thought was coming (jump off a raised platform in the ocean and grab a key on the way down)

I'm two episodes behind but what do y'all mean "she doesn't know how to jump"? Like the act of standing up too much so that you are off the ground for a second, or like a proper specific jump like long jumping?

She admitted to the tribe that she can't jump so there was a montage of them trying to teach her to jump

Girl had like a 4 inch vertical

Not even 4 inch. She like mechanically wasn't even jumping, just like throwing her legs behind/in front of her. My wife and I couldn't make heads or tails of what she was trying to do.

I feel like she thinks jumping is lifting your legs up into the air instead of pushing your feet down into the ground

Hahaha sometimes I have dreams where I can sorta fly, but it's always like that, it's not proper superhero or bird or jet flying, it's like pulling up from the bottom of yourself somehow.

Gonna watch now bc I gotta see this.

Haha I like rock guy. "That does NOT rock."

Didn't come for a million dollars, but a million hearts. Such bloodlust!

Kind of wish Q's sudden Bhanu pivot worked, if only because I totally can see Kenzie flipping on the others once merged or swapped.

Hahaha Bhanu immediately torpedoing himself at start of latest episode. Man, just not cut out to play this game, wow. I love the curse of the poker metaphor too, jelynsky and bhanu both failing at it.

It’s what happens when a tribe that doesn’t ever lose and has no conflict desperately needs content for someone

Short term it means Moriah’s stock goes up a little, the way it was presented

Nobody had any swimming / heights fears so they had to find the white person that can't jump.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
They need to do a reward challenge where the jump training shoes from the 90s are on the line.

I dunno a rich white guy in his 60s referencing a popular Van Halen song in an appropriate context doesn't seem like a huge stretch

yeah in the Aus Survivor thread i said something like when did being a nerd go from like reciting poetry Fishbach style to just quoting the most popular mass appeal media products imaginable? That said I think Eden seems like a cool enough dude

I'm rewatching Tocantins right now and I haven't seen Fishbach reciting any poetry.

Poor guy though, even if he'd cut JT Taj would have beaten him. He might have beaten Erinn but I'm not sure how deeply the Timbira salt ran.

This shop gives me the opposite of Carson's shop vibes -- maybe because any purchases are going to charity?

I watch the show with my fam and I think it gives me lots of small chances for teaching moments. For example, Bhanu should stop asking God for help and focus that energy on helping himself.

He was great. Best player since Colton imo

I’m not sure you can call yourself a super fan if every decision you make is the exact opposite of what someone who actually watches the show should make.

Bhanu was an unreliable narrator and I have doubts about both his having watched every season and life story of growing up in poverty.

Yea I thought it was a little convenient how much of his life story was left out when he went from jungle hut to *insert a bunch of time where he somehow got multiple degrees and immigrated to the US*.

Bhanu also complained that he's not an actor so he does not know how to lie or hide his emotions.

I think the show desperately needs more people that do weird stuff that feels right to them in the moment and inconveniences the people who are trying to do the most thought-out game move at all times, it being all the latter people has gotten boring

Watching this season after not watching since like 2005 since a podcast I like said the first two episodes were unhinged (and we liked their Traitors recommendation). Don't have much to compare it to, but we're thoroughly enjoying the ridiculousness. Having interesting challenges that actually matter compared to Traitors is nice.

I'm having to look up all these things I don't know like New Era, shot in the dark, etc. Crazy that there are so many seasons.
