Steve Vizsla I agree but if you want to discuss something about the ep, then start a discussion. There are plenty of people who would be willing to engage with you. Your only two posts this week were to complain. Post what you want to talk about.

I still can't believe Jeff claimed the 50 piece would take the same amount of time as the 5 piece puzzle.  Maybe if the 50 piece puzzle was numbered instead of being a phrase, it would have been far easier and on par with that 5 piece.

Golbez posted:can we bring back Jonathan Penner please Yes, this is the best part about Cook Islands and the people forgetting him are skipping by far the best character on the cast. Ozzie was poo poo, Yul cheated, and everyone else had their head up their rear end but Penner knew to come out and entertain and that's what got him brought back twice.

It's not Yuls fault that his immunity idol was so OP. I thought he played a hell of a game and was able to use his HII more effectively by not playing it than playing it.

That's because you don't play it until the votes have already been read and you get the most. So it's not like it was some strategy; he would have played it at the first opportunity.

In the previous season, Terry went into the merge in almost the exact same situation as Yul (with the overpowered idol, leading an alliance of 4 against a majority alliance). Yul quickly and aggresively used the idol to flip votes and gain a majority; Terry denied he even had it for half the merge and just watched one by one as his alliance got voted out with seemingly no plan other than "well, if they ever do vote for me, I guess I'll be safe for a week????"

How many people have gotten on Survivor due to doing some academic thing about Survivor (e.g. a class or paper)? I know of Cochran and the professor from this season, but is there anyone else? I'm a PhD student at an elite school, and could (without too much difficulty) get a reasonable stats/machine learning paper published about Survivor (because it would be an example application of something else I've been working on). Such a paper would take time and would be unlikely to be cited though... how much would it increase my chances of being cast on Survivor (were I to someday entertain the idea of applying)?

They want good TV first. Publishing a paper may make you stand out in the very early rounds, but if you aren't the right person for TV, it's not going to get you on the show.

I actually JUST finished rewatching that season and I totally agree that Jonathan was the best part. He got a lot of poo poo for flipping twice, but I think both times he was totally justified. In both cases, in the previous tribal council he scraped by by a single vote. Had he not flipped he was going home next both times, ESPECIALLY the second time knowing about Yul's idol dooming him. I think his only mistake was being a little too cocky when things worked out for him and alienated his original tribe he rejoined....he was always losing the other guys to their rage at losing, but he could have made final 5 if he hadn't pissed off EVERYONE right after flipping back. Yul played an incredible game before the idol was even relevant, and he didn't even tell his own alliance until he used it to flip Jonathan back. I just also liked him on a personal level, it was refreshing to have a very well-spoken and insightful player whose head isn't buried up his own rear end. His confessionals were always really enjoyable, he almost never talked about himself or his ego and was able to very objectively dissect the game and see it from every angle. I think he played a very diplomatic game and I could see him working everyone incredibly hard at every reward to make sure he was universally liked. Jonathan was similar in a lot of ways, he's also very obviously intelligent, but he played much more emotionally. I'm pretty sure if I was on the island I would be him, though, raging at all the kids expecting the experience to be a vacation where they just flirt and sleep and do challenges. I'd forgotten how much I loathed Parvati..... I think someone during the final tribal nailed it in saying Yul and Ozzie both played phenomenal games in completely opposite ways (and other chick was completely loving useless in every way), so the final vote was perfectly fair. They each earned half of the win, but Yul did slightly better at playing the overall game and not just being really good at challenges, but I would have been totally fine if that last vote forced a tie (and I'm curious what they would do in that case, somehow that has never come up). Final thought: That fire tie-breaker at the end is the moment I fell in love with Jeff Probst way back when. It was when I first realized how much he really loves this game and that his hatred for those women for not being able to make fire after over a month living out there was completely genuine, you could hear the barely contained rage in his very measured sentences when he gave them matches. Also his reaction to Billy being loving insane thinking he and Candice were in love was pretty great.

God the fire making challenge between Becky and Sundra was a horror show. I have to rewatch that season now, but at the time I remember Jeff being pretty furious that it takes 90 minutes for them to build a fire even with matches.

She used them all up and still had nothing. She showed him the empty box, seemingly expecting to be given more, but Jeff just gave her angry face. I'm pretty sure if Becky didn't pull it off he would have just sent them both home right there and gone back to a final 2.

I still can't believe they gave the White Collar Tribe the name "Messiah." As if those people don't have enough of a superiority complex.

Why the hell would Nina think that people would be more accommodating of her disability on Survivor than in real life? That's completely incomprehensible. She better not gently caress up my girl Jenn's game.
